Well, enough is enough. Tried the above and it didnt work. I had a feeling it was connected to windows 11 as I have been having problems with the task bar. I tried a couple of other things but in the end I did it - I rolled back to windows 10. And when the dust had settled MS Store immediately installed 5 updates and I am now waiting for FS to finish doing it’s thing. Windows 11 can take a hike for a year or two!!
