For those having the issue, won't the upgrade try to re-install after a rollback?

After the update I had a lot of issues, I had to reboot more than 8 times to get rid of some of them and
a few updates have caused an issue withe the start menu not showing anything at all when left clicked.
I also have the same issue with the Start menu after updating some drivers but, it appears to go away
after a few restarts but, I have been getting random lockups since the upgrade and I only have ONE
drive and it is an SSD??? It may not be related but, it is strange.

The term "temporary fix" is rather overstated here.

To rollback (or use safemode) is not a fix as that is tantamount to saying the problem cannot be fixed on current build until they provide one!

No, not necessarily. If you're already running Windows 10, and have a Digital License, you can just clean install the Anniversary Update instead of doing an upgrade. It will activate just fine. I've done both and had no activation issues.

If you check the box for "Defer feature updates" it shouldn't reinstall.

Temporary fix until a patch is released, and or rolled into the install media. I totally agree with what your saying though. It's not a real fix for the problem. It's how to bail out and (hopefully) go back to a working system.
