Took me hours to get my drivers straightened out. Second time this has happened in the last six months, the update changes my graphics and sound drivers to versions that won't work.

Not a fan of Windows 11...had to spend a lot of time disabling spyware after my install, Outlook and Edge among them. One day soon I'm going to build a Steam Box...feel like I've been a hostage of Microsoft for over thirty years.
