   Tracked down the issue to a incompatible legacy extension "Desktop Icons   
   DING rastersoft.com".  The problem was it was locally installed under   
   the profile. If installed globally it is disabled by the upgrade but if   
   under the user profile it apparently doesn't and causes the issue.   
      
   Just removed ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/'ding@rastersoft.com'   
   dir and now works. Tip for anyone else with extension issues, check your   
   profile installed ones.
