Oh that’s why my Linux instance suddenly stopped working. I will have to look into this

This is what made me switch to Linux full-time. I’m not surprised this is still a thing 10+ years later

I have in fact never had or seen this problem, and I’m quite bewildered by so many people having it. Do your normal windows updates do it? Or transition between major Windows versions? Or is it just a Win 11 problem?

I’ve pretty much always used a dual boot Win/Linux laptop, since around Vista, and I’m on 10 now (but only use it for a few games; all important things in Linux).
