An operating system cannot brick a piece of hardware. This seems like a PEBKAC issue honestly.

it works fine in any Windows except 11

PEBKAC

Maybe your opinion is a ID10T or a PICNIC error.

I mean to 11 it is bricked. Any OS before that works fine.

Sure it can. It may not have in this case, but there's plenty of hardware that can be bricked by an OS.
