zeroconf issue after last update

Configuration
1

Good day
first time user so i hope I’m in the right place. I have done an update 2025.11.02 and this issues has kicked out my homekit availability. I’m really not sure what i have done wring but i was hoping someone could help. Also my companion app is unable to load pages eg settings tab, I’m a complete newbie and don’t know YAML so if you could explain to as if I’m stupid. Below is the message i have copied from Logs
i have tried rebooting HA as well as reloading a past backup. when the past back up is loaded there does not seem to be an issue but then it asks for me to do the update and the issue comes back. I assume its something i have done as i don’t seem to see ant complaits on the forum. But i would be most grateful if someone could help me.

Hello Powers12,

First make sure it’s still configured correctly.

Also have you made any network changes since the last time you restarted Home Assistant?

Then if that’s all good, restart HA and see if it clears up.

hello Sir-goodenough
Thank you so much for your input. The only thing i have done was to uninstall a google mesh system. Apart from that nothing has been changed.
i have read through what you have attached and it suggests that the config file needs the zeroconf to be installed. how do i even go about doing this? Could you help?
