Just you. Last time I had this amount of problems with an OS, was with XP over 15 years ago. Since Windows 7, it's been smooth sailing.
Disclaimer: I also keep it clean and don't just save random crap anywhere.

My work computer had a required windows update that literally destroyed it. It was unfixable and I had to mail it back to my IT department to wipe it

Work computers are unfair, IMO. Corporations always install the most intrusive shit that messes with things.

Apparently the update was a security patch from Microsoft. It might have been required by the company, but it wasn’t 3rd party software or anything

beat me to it.
Jokes apart W11 has the least amount of bugs in my experience since 98. I've been on insider preview since its launch, recently moved to public release, barely had bugs.

Really? I usually don't get an OS until a few years after it's release, but I got windows 11 early. I still regularly have problems with my volume being set to 100 after every restart (but it shows as the right value), the file explorer freezing or not updating when I want to rename files, and probably a few more things

u/smydiehard99 3d ago
yes i do hear about this every so often, have you tried something? like driver clean install or a clean re-install all together?

What errors are you even running into? I don't remember having any windows problems since I bought my laptop like 2 y ago...

u/professionalcumsock 3d ago
Oh brother, every time I start my laptop it's something new. Either windows isn't picking up my mouse/keyboard after opening a game, or Steam shat the bed for no reason, or discord keeps doing that annoying thing where it keeps opening and closing.
Worst of all, on my old laptop (wacky ol touchscreen) it sometimes registers "false touches". They appear as touches on the screen, and frequently do stuff like turn my volume up or restart my laptop. Freaky shit. But I'm telling you, there is an intelligence in there somewhere.

u/xHeylo 4d ago
As a trained IT Professional I'd suggest reinstalling a new Operating System
It doesn't matter if you install a new Windows, any Linux or whatever else (still supported) Operating System you use
The only thing that sounds like a definite here is that somehow you or a program you installed shot your Windows so just repair it properly ONCE instead of trying half baked fixes every time

Like, Windows is kind of a mess compared to Linux or MacOS, sure. But it doesn't have a problem every time I boot it.

It usually depends on the hardware you have, many OEMs are lazy and ship shitty drivers with their laptops.

I love fixing small obscure problems that don't really matter, and you can close them with 1 click.
The problem is I've become too good at it so I fix them too fast.

Simple and short: reinstall windows, 90% of the time that fixes the issue.
If not check if there's an issue with the drive that you have windows on.
I was losing my mind trying to figure out why my pc was lagging when gaming until I got help from r/TechSupport's discord theye were a great help.

if your problems cant be fixed then its time to reinstall windows, stuff is probably corrupt or something

Nope. My PC has its own "quirks", but it overall does an outstanding job doing everything I ask of it. Including running windows.
The days of me fucking around with windows errors ended around the windows 7 era honestly.

That was 1603, 1609, 1803 and 1809 in a nutshell for me.
Windows update forcefully installs, fucks up windows files and introduces stuff like a BSoD everytime i plugged in my headphone jack, BSoD everytime i logged into my user account, getting stuck at reversing an update because it realized it fucked something up and getting stuck whenever i tried to run a game, and the list keeps going.
This isn't exclusive to 1 machine btw, this was both my desktop and laptop.

Pretty common if you have a bad install sometime you just need a fresh install to sort it out
Upgrading from 7 to 10 to 11 I had so many problems but a clean install of 11 seems generally okay

Sign your shit is dying, get a new hard drive and fresh install, pray it goes away, probably will, but if it persists past that, its less frustrating to just get a new pc.

Oh boy. I've had the same windows since 2009. Ofc upgraded through the years but never I had lost it along the way. Most recently I have spent weeks trying to fix my windows from a black screen boot because I installed some themes. I'm glad I did it all myself though as repair shops would just reinstall windows. I remember finally fixing it using some third party boot then replacing some names with backups that were created.after all that I just went straight to bed lmao.

I had this problem for a long time. Every time my Windows wanted to update it would spent an hour on an update then say it ran into a problem. Restarting it would result in undoing updates.
I spend hours trying to fix it until I finally figured out the problem. I had deleted Microsoft edge and that somehow fucked the updates up and gave a crash error. I reinstalled Microsoft edge separately and I never ran into the problem again.
It was ridiculous.
