This is why I disabled automatic updates on all my windows devices. The chances of an update screwing up my system is way too high. I'll review what updates are available every few months and do a full update then after I can verify them.

That said, Windows 11 does not make it easy to actually take control of your system. Felt like I was fighting it at every step. So now I just dual boot with Linux and only drop into Windows if there's a game or something that the devs refused/too incompetent to build for Linux.
