Using build 9926 I got into the state where start didn't work, nor search, nor modern apps
The same thing happens with build 10041, however it's clear it's the Intel driver that's causing it. I can remove the driver using "devmgmt.msc", and all these things start working. Unfortunately a matter of minutes later windows decides to update the drivers and they break again.
Is there a fix for intel driver 10.18.15.4098
Is there a way to PREVENT device drivers being updated?
