This is MY FAULT but a note of warning:
- I did a purge all of start11, but I DID reboot in the middle.
This started a chain events which ended up in:
- explorer continually restarting
- all of my files (but not folders) in my download folder being deleted
- had to sys restore back before it, and there are still weird issues
so... moral of the story
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DONT MESS UP
