    I just tested again after updating to build 26100.4351 and I no longer see the issue. Hopefully everyone else sees the same improvement after updating. 🤞

    Still occurring in Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.1457.

    It seems that Microsoft does not care to solve these problems that make the system unusable!
