I forgot I was signed up for the Insider Preview program and the current build of Windows 11 I am on doesn't like installing updates at the moment..... I had to remove myself from the Insider Preview program and hopefully it will correct itself. Granted installing Windows again is faster than ever.... I'd rather not.

I find it odd lately it seems that with each build/major update of Windows, more stuff gets broken than fixed... job security at its finest I suppose.

Hi,
Maybe stop with beta preview or developer build nonsense and maybe the bugs will be less likely.

I agree, 22H2 is definitely a little weird. Last major Windows 11 version was pretty solid.

This one seems to have a "slow period" after cold boots where it takes longer to open applications than usual. Start menu losing half of its icons (reverts to the generic application icon), window animations oddly run in low framerate half the time.

Windows keeps fucking with my multi monitor wallpapers as well. Switching them, duplicating them, sometimes my monitor 2 (vertical) wallpaper thinks the monitor is landscape and Windows also forgets that it's there in display settings (but it clearly works otherwise)

Worst one has been that I've been forced to shutdown instead of sleep - more than half the time resuming from sleep will go straight to a BSOD at login screen with 0x00021a.

I'm due for a clean install today anyway, we'll see if anything changes. The windowed VRR is a game changer for me though, so I can't just up and use something else.
This sounds like what happens to me if I have too high of a ram or bclk overclock, or just bad ram, which causes data corruption. I could be wrong but I suspect you have data corruption issues.

sfc and dism are fine, CO is stable, Fabric is fine, ram is stable in 1usmusv3 and anta777, disks are fine.

All went away with a clean install. Bad practice to change Ryzen CPUs on a single install.

I totally agree...tried Win 11 for the 2nd time a few days ago [1st time Windows did a self-upgrade to 11...and I lost aa Word document that I had been compiling for 3 or 4 hours...5 pages and....GONE! No way to retrieve it even after returning to Windows 10 with a restore...found the document which had only 2 paragraphs saved...You cannot believe how p!ssed off I was...A$$holes!!] ...immediate decision was...Win 11 is utter rubbish...this time I tried to do a return to Win 10 Pro...seemed a fast enough restore...but the reboot to Windows caused untold neverending BSODs...ran through the sequence OK and pass the Boot SSD selection screen...then just Hello Bloo! Even when selecting the 2nd Boot Drive...

Gave up after maybe 30 mins and went with a totally new fresh install...saying that, now every Folder Desktop and Explorer Windows...is showing a "Status" column and Red Error Circled Icons with a White cross inside it...see pic! Have NEVER used the "Status" column before with ANY Windows installation...
That seems like a hardware problem.

I have been using Windows 10 2004 and I have been updating and upgrading without clean install from 20H2 to 21H1 to 21H2 to 22H2 and then I upgraded into Windows 11 22H2. All without any clean installing and no issues so far!

To my case.. this is the dirtiest way of using Windows and yet I haven't really faced any kind of issues across all those Windows versions. The only time I faced issues was when I was using incompatible programs in a new released Windows versions which was easily gets fixed & updated after a couple of days. That's it.

If you notice.. I have jumped to Windows 11 22H2 directly from full dirty Windows 10 updates.

Since the first public release of Windows 11 was horrible and full of issues.. people where screaming and reporting so many issues hence I have waited out for next Windows 11 which was 22H2 release and upgraded to it which I am currently using it as I type this post.

so, you have issues or no issues?
Hardware issue with USB not related to W11 that makes USB devices disconnect and reconnect

the OS works fine

Hi,
Not if it's driver related last I checked ms installs drivers automatically from it's media drivers store.
Only real test on hardware issues is if the issue also existed on win-10
If not, yes it's win-11's bad.

If it's the specs you have on your profile - not hardware issue, you have obsolete AGESA - update your motherboard BIOS. This is a bug that AMD left in the processor management code that causes USB dropouts on AGESA v2 1.1.8.0-1.2.0.2 series.

Thanks, yeah I updated chipset driver from AMD, latest UEFI with "V2 PI 1.2.0.7" but still persist, I am now pinpointing if it's some USB device problem or it's the motherboard
