My Dell 9710 with Windows 11 has stopped crashing. In my case the culprit seems to have been a docking station (usb-c to usb) that was not compatible. A new docking station seems to have solved the problem.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the Windows 11 OS to stop crashing? My computer is near non-functional as I can't even use it for more than 10 minutes.
And honestly anyone looking into downloading Windows 11 should NOT download.
Over the past week or so that I've had Windows 11 my computer has crashed at least twice a day and today it's crashed 5 times right after start up.
Please help!

2022-04-07T17:46:29+00:00 Yes, it's Windows 11! An Operating System should never be crashed by any App.
What I'm trying to figure out is what triggers the frequent crash. If I use Office product, it crashes a few times an hour. If I use Notepad and Outlook Web Access, it usually survives for a day or two. But it still crashes. Sometimes during online meetings, no matter if it's Zoom or Google Meet or Teams meeting. Next I'll try to do all meetings within the Browser. At least that will make them run in virtual machine and only crashes the Browser.
But Windows team, please fix this atrocity! It's embarrassing!

2022-04-06T21:17:13+00:00 Install windows 10. Or linux.
I've had issues with mine since I bought it.
- First, the Audio went out.
- Then I got the first blue screen of death.
- Went to do the OS Reset that Windows 11 is supposed to have, and Windows could not find it's own OS. Went to download a new file of Windows 11, and it wouldn't let me since it was already installed. Ended up giving up one of my external harddrives to download the OS on because I needed my computer for homework.(Lost a **** ton of files, and I'm salty over that)
- On first re-install, windows lost the ability to find the graphics card. The graphics card that was HARDWIRED into the computer. And no, it wasn't a software issue. It was windows legit not being able to find the graphics card.
- Second reinstall was just buggered.
- Third reinstall windows couldn't find the C++ stuff. Had IT people look at it. IT person spent 3-4 hours trying to figure it out, then just told me to reinstall.
- 4th worked for 1.5 weeks before blue screen of death again
- 5th is working for now. As soon as I turn in this homework. I'm going to install windows 10 because I don't have time to be a test user of a software program I bought so I could actually do my freaking homework.
I've had my computer for less than 31 days now. Windows 11 is ****.

I hadn't even installed office on my brand-spanking-new computer before I started having issues. It's the operating system.
