Microsoft "update" somehow does this to me:

- I lost the ability to use my trackpad without having to wait for 1 second, holding my finger on the trackpad. This is palm-rejection. And there is NO way to turn it off. Rebooting the laptop temporarily sets the wait-time to 0 seconds, until I close the lid and sleep the laptop, then wake it again. There is a "sensitivity" feature, which uses words like "low" and "highest" .. and this does nothing to fix the issue, perceivable to me.

- I lost the ability to use my game-pad with built-in trackpad. I don't know why that feature disappeared. Clicking and swiping now does .. things .. but not moving the mouse nor right/left-clicking the button.

- I somehow failed to "update and shutdown." I chose that option, which said it should take 3 minutes. After 15 minutes, and multiple reboots, I was left BACK ON not shutdown, and the "update and shutdown" menu was still present. I don't know what Windows 11 even needed to update in the first place.

Overall Windows disrespects the user. Its "run all the drivers, on all PC configurations, from the beginning of time" is no doubt the culprit. That kind of complexity is impossible for humans to manage. (garbage-can emoji)
