Upgrades seem to break kali 2024.3

[NewtoLinux]

I am starting fresh with version 2024.3 and when I run "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" this appears to break the desktop. The update and upgrade seem to complete without any issues, but after I shutdown and reboot Kali in VMware Workstation the desktop fails to load normally. I log in and the desktop background is stuck on the lock screen background and none of the desktop icons appear. In addition, the ability to use the mouse to drag GUI windows around doesn't work.

I'd go back to my previous Kali version of 2023.4 but that one isn't recognizing eth0 and not allowing me to assign a IPv4 address. Another issue I'm having recently after a long break training.

If anyone runs into issues similar to this try the weekly rollup VM. Using the weekly W46 version appears to be more stable and doesn't have the issue above when running "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade".
