Try:
– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and the wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

It looks complicated, should I wait maybe they fix the problem in next version?
What resetting the plugins folder mean? how should I reset them?
Thanks
It looks complicated
There is no magic bullet in these situations. This is just the start of basic troubleshooting and is a process of elimination deliberately designed to locate the root cause as quickly as possible by first removing the most obvious and common culprits via a series of (often) temporary steps.

There is no “problem” to fix. The issue is specific to your site so you need to troubleshoot it.
how should I reset them?
Please see the page at the link I posted above.

I can deactivate plugin through admin panel, why dont do it that way?
Because sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

Let’s just do one step at a time.
can not find & root .htaccess files, what files are these?
Root is not a file – it’s a folder. Your main WordPress folder. If you haven’t been using custom permalinks, you may not have an .htaccess file in your root folder.
which one to keep or delete?
Delete all the files that being with wp- plus index.php and xmlrpc.php in your root folder.

Yes – that’s correct. And/or download a copy of it for safekeeping.

now Im copying the folders and files to ftp.
when finished should I rename back the theme & plugins folder?
What is the next step after having files copied?
should I rename back the theme & plugins folder?
No. And I assume you only renames the folder of your current theme inside wp-content/themes. Not the wp-content/themes folder itself…
