IOS 17.1.2 iPad
I rushed to get this update as 17.1.1 had left my iPad Air almost unusable. But apps are still crashing all over the place. Any ideas please? Apple doesn't seem to know what it's doing.

Presumably Apple Support have already advised that you try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear post-update or isolated software issues?
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
- Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
- Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
- Press and hold the top button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings - after which you will need to restore your data from your backup:
