After updating to Windows 11 on my 6 month old laptop, my audio files take 20 seconds to start or they do not start at all. This also causes a delay in videos starting whether the file is on my computer or a website. Has anyone else had this issue.

    Hi Blaise, first I don't belong TO ANY team. I am just another user having the same issues still. I am waiting as all readers of this blog, for the solution, someday. I cannot tell if any REAL Microsoft agent around is reading this blog, as far as I know only non-paid volunteer kids are playing around as MS technicians.

    Hi, the problems still remains on my computer even with te latest updates :-(

    I have a one year old High End Thinkpad, which had no issue on windows 10.

    I clearly dont understand that this major problem is not solved faster by your teams !

    Hi Patrick. Listen, the latest update in the last 5 days, fixes 90% of the problem. With a brand new computer, you must first install all pending updates there are, your computer must have been weeks or maybe months while it was sold to you.

    These updates fixed a lot of the problems (still a small delay can be noticed): 2022-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5011493) and 2022-03 Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057).

    Sorry you are having this problem. After spending over 2 months with tech support from Microsoft and Dell, I had to have Windows 10 reinstalled after both tech teams tried everything to resolve the delay issue. Until I hear that ALL the bugs have been addressed, I will not be updating to Windows 11 any time soon. Hope the latest updates work for you. Good luck!
