Crash, bluescreen, update, now some odd changes
Hey so, I lost power, had a sudden shutdown, boot-up resulted in black-screen, long-press force shutdown, loading loading --> bluescreen, ouch --> restart --> windows automatically starts installing some update, which is odd because I leave all that stuff disabled and manually choose which updates to install.
So finally after some restarts, I windows is running and I have this sitting here:
I had previously stripped Edge out of this windows installation image, but now it's back in and even decided it deserved to be pinned to my taskbar.
I've got about 6 msedge.exe running + MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe
But the main issue is that every time I click an item in the taskbar, the whole shell just crashes/disappears as explorer.exe restarts...
Where do I even begin with all this?
I want to go back to the stability I had before.

edit: okay, I found this in event viewer. bummer.
But how I remove all this edge stuff now? The uninstall button is greyed out...Code:Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\StartIsBack\StartIsBack64.dll
Also I don't know which update was installed that did this. Settings App > Update History > Has nothing recently.
However wumt shows 5018410 which was apparently 106 GB... I don't know man.
Just help me remove Edge and get my shell to stop crashing. Please.
