i once asked a kid if he turned the laptop off and on again, he said yea. so i started to try to fix the issue, nothing worked. so i decided to reboot anyway and it worked. ive never trusted anyone who responded yes to this question again
Sadly, the number of times I’ve had to reboot windows two or three times to fix an issue lately has been increasing. I’m so glad I’m not in IT trying to support windows 11.
My SO recently bought a laptop designed for (and subsequently sold with) windows 11 and I can’t believe how utterly broken that system feels. It really feels like you’re running an alpha. The system interface completely lacks coherence.
(For context I’ve been running linux for several decades)

This sounds like your organization’s group policy is too large or your connection from your machine to a domain controller hosting your GPOs is too slow. There’s a timeout period. If all the GPO contents are not pulled down to the local machine, it stops downloading them, and lets the user continue to the Desktop. However, for lots of orgs GPOs are how they deliver settings or software, so you have to reboot again and on the next login, it will pick up downloading where it left off. It could still timeout again if there is more GPO data (or the connection is too slow). So you may have to reboot multiple times, and on one of those it will finally complete the downloads, and then suddenly everything works because all the right data or settings from the GPOs are on the local machine.
I use a Mac at work and don’t have this problem. It’s mostly been my parent’s fairly new Windows 11 laptops. I can’t stand it and feel like Windows does nothing but get in the way of productivity in a work setting. Since at least Windows 7.
Microsoft fired every developer who knew what they were doing and is defecating windows updates produced by Copilot without anyone even testing if they work.
At this point it’s a miracle an updated Windows 11 even boots.
I just check the last boot time, though win10 fucked that up and made shutting down not actually restart the system… Nothing like getting schooled by an older customer because MicroSlop changed behavior.

“Have you tried turning it off and back on?”
“yes, obviously that was THE FIRST thing I tried”
system uptime 582 days 23:59:12

That doesn’t seem like a problem with Windows 11, but with misconfiguration on the server or on your end.
Never had to restart multiple times unless some config asked for it. And every computer at my job is running Windows 11.

This is why I’m on Linux at home and I refuse to update my work Win11 machine past 23H2
