Decided to take my PC out of the preview builds after the latest updates seem to have borked some stuff, including a nice "Critical Error" for the start menu.

First time I've ever seen this:

The original issue started after the latest preview Windows Update, which resulted in some drivers having issues with hardware enforced stack protection. Uninstalling the update fixed the driver issue, but has resulted in this weird start menu Critical Error.

Likely don't need any immediate support, as I can run some troubleshooting + wait for the next Windows Update to be fully released which will probably resolve, but it's an interesting error I've never seen before.
 
FYI when I do click sign out now, I get an error code pop-up:

The instruction at 0x00007FFB6AFE3FAA referenced memory at 0x0000000000000024. The memory could not be written.
Click on OK to terminate the program
