I havent experienced that one myself, but I have other problems with the win 11 explorer. Like how when using the keyboard to navigate the right click menu, you cant just navigate into a submenu, but have to navigatw up or down after navigating into it, then the other way, to select the topmost item. And thats one thing I encounter many times a day at work.

As a heavy Windows keyboard user I've found the level or disrespect for my muscle memory skyrocketed with Windows 10. (I'm frustrated daily with the "Sign out" and "Switch user" in the menu to close Explorer. That stupid choice to rename "Log off" turned a deterministic muscle memory operation into a "now I have to look at the screen" operation.)

And there's also the focus stealing exhibited by office applications. Like the 15 minute reminder of outlook for a teams meeting. That one gets me almost daily.
