Many years ago, a software engineer named Fred Brooks predicted that
some systems could get so complex that they would exceed a manageable
threshold of complexity, where every attempt to fix a bug would just
create new ones.
Microsoft passed this point a long time ago. Read this <

and think: how many times have you heard of this sort of thing, just
in the past year? Some choice quotes:
When Microsoft rolled out another Windows 11 24H2 update for
January's Patch Tuesday, instead of fixing existing issues, the
update created more havoc, causing conflicts with audio,
Bluetooth, webcams, and more. But a preview update released on
Jan. 28 finally fixed several glitches -- both old and new.
But then qualifies this by saying:
But before you dive into the 2024 update, know that you may run
into some problems and conflicts. The new version has been plagued
by bugs that could prevent you from using Windows reliably and
effectively.
So fix some problems, add new ones. Conclusion:
The number of bugs in Windows 11 24H2 also seems greater than in
past annual Windows updates. The ongoing spread of one bug after
another and Microsoft's need to stall the update for many people
both point to a problem with this latest version.
Not the first time Windows has had this sort of trouble! It has become
a regular occurrence the past few years.
