    So I posted how I "upgraded" to Win 11. I am now going to roll back to Win 10. Here's why: 1. The loss of the USB connected devices continues. I have no choice but to reboot. 2. Now, when Win starts up and I log in, it's gets stuck with "Preparing Windows". A Google search shows this to be a common issue. So, now I can't use my PC. I'll reboot into Safe Mode and revert.

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

        From my experience with Visual Studio 2017 and Windows 10, Windows 11 will be stable/usable once Windows 12 comes out and they stop adding new features to break it.

            A clean install seems to be a safer option. Clone existing drive, format, reinstall. If it goes south, restore the clone. And so much for W11 being W10 reskinned, seems they fiddled a lot under the hood to break things.

              Oh yes! One example (I upgraded last week but don't have the USB-connection issues) is that somehow IIS was not able to run websites anymore from a random folder. I specifically had to give NTFS read/write/execute persmissions to the IIS_IUSR account - or something similar - for that folder to get the site up and running from VS 2019.

                Why? you already know that a) Every other Windows version has to be skipped. XP good, Vista goof, 7 good, 8 goof, 10 good-ish, 11... goof. b) Every software should be let simmer at least 6 months before being breaten into functionality. Even during the times of updates shipped by CD there were situation like these, see Windows 98 2nd Edition (AKA 'I said standby, not crash and die') and Windows 95 OSR2.
