Either be fine.
I had a weird thing earlier where I turned on the PC and at the windows login screen my keyboard wasn't working until I rebooted.
All the lights were on the keyboard though and I could turn capslock etc on off, fn+1/2/3/4 would change the RGB effects just windows acted like it wasn't plugged in

I get that with the mouse occasionally. No pointer appears on the screen until I disconnect and reconnect it.
Used to get this very rarely with W10, but not yet on 11. (yet)

Funnily enough, I've been noticing the same with my Windows 11 login screen, that the keyboard or mouse wont appear initially as though they've not been woken up on re-start. Its certainly been happening more in recent times such that I've began to notice it.
I've not gone looking for the solution though, as each time it has appeared with a bit of random button pressing / mouse clicks.

I had to turn off fast boot as the same was happening with my usb external sound card, sometimes windows would boot without detecting it, after disabling fast boot it detects every time now. Just another irritating windows thing.
Latest Windows 11 Update May Cause Games to Stutter or Have Low Performance; Offers Workaround
The latest Windows 11 update has seemingly caused issues with games, with Microsoft confirming stutters and low performance issues.

Lucky I never rushed to upgrade to the latest build. These days worth waiting a while. MS are becoming annoying with Windows. I have been ok with it, but them trying to stop us from making local accounts crosses the line for me.
They should make two versions. One a free wone where they can max out adds, telemetry etc and have it more closed. Then a paid one that gets rid of that crap and is more akin to Windows 7 maybe.

If they had any sense they'd make the Home edition the more curated experience, etc. then actually make the Professional edition one for the power users - but nope their heads are too firmly stuck up their behinds for doing something reasonable and logical like that. It has been plain for awhile no one on the Windows development team gives a flying **** about the end user experience.

Never had a problem with the update(s) so I guess this issue doesn't apply to me lol.

My dad was asking the other day if it was time to upgrade to 11 yet - with the comment "I've never had any problems with 10 like other people have" - people seem to have a short memory - though in terms of applying updates both his desktop and laptop seem unusually trouble free there have been plenty of times over the years he has been interrupted by updates - including once when he needed to print off some documents for an event when rushed for time only to return to the PC having decided to reboot for updates itself...
Do you also like them trying to take away local accounts and add more telemetry and try and push the windows store onto people?
It is easy to ignore these things and find work around, but eventually it starts to get annoying. Unless you are the type that does not care and happy to share everything MS wants with them
Basically slowly owly they seem to be going in the wrong direction imo.

As I say, it's never been a problem, I have a local account which has for a long time been linked to my Microsoft account anyway for the product license connectivity and synchronisation with other stuff like clipboard, credentials etc.
Telemetry stuff, I have some disabled manually anyway from way back and they remain so, the other stuff I don't care about as it's trivial and not personally identifiable anyway.
As for Windows Store, I've never seen it pushed on me, the stuff I have instaleld via it are apps I actually use and for those I lad Store manually and install them, otherwise I never see Store interrupt me at any time:
Everything else is managed and organised manually tbh, all fast, slick:

Had a feeling you would say that. It is all happening slowly bit by bit basically. Sure may not have an impact on you today, but if they carry on it will in the future. As I said it did not bother me either up until recently. Rroff has been bothered for quite a few years now and I would read his posts like you and say well it does not bother me.

But it actually doesn't bother me, it has had zero impact on my use of the OS or use anywhere else and the things I can manually turn off or uninstall that might be a bother have been disabled or uninstalled. Tow hat extent will they go looking ahead? Short of a cloud based OS where you have no control I can't see things getting even more snoopy because the telemetry stuff has to be non identifiable anyway otherwise they risk falling found of privacy regulations and will be fined or held accountable like they have been in the past.
I still think it's a bit of internet chatter that does the rounds every cycle and will remain as such. For those that outright don't care will be none the wiser, those that are power users, will disable any obvious red flags anyway and the world continues to rotate!
I only have two complaints over Windows that haven't been addressed in years, the OS forgetting folder views which needs a manual intervention via the registry to fix, and Windows Update forcing restarts. Both are fairly trivial but they are the only annoying things about Windows currently as far as I am concerned. Everything else is bespoked or tweaked in some way to fit ones needs.
