And unstable. The amount of shit that crashes on Win11 is absolutely abysmal. Windows Explorer is my enemy on the computers we have a work. At least once a month Windows Explorer crashes or freezes, the task bar disappears and I have to reset it, or clicking on windows on the task bar doesn't bring them back up (I have to Alt-tab just to get to a window that is behind another).

It wouldn't be a huge issue if it was consistent. I'm fine with dealing with technical issues on a regular basis. The problem is that some problems persist while others show up and disappear. And the problems are different on every computer but are all frustrating to deal with. Its always been a thing with Windows but these days I straight up can't even do certain tasks at work on certain computers because they simple do not work anymore with Win11

I just created a Restart Explorer shortcut and placed it on my desktop, that opens and closes a cmd window in the process, for these very purposes! I was proud to be able to create that shortcut but that's about it. I'm not very technologically inclined. Only somewhat.
