Known issues on Windows 11

When upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 or installing an update to Windows 11, some features may be deprecated or removed. Here, below, are the details:

Start

In some cases, the user may not be able to enter text when using the Search function from Start or the taskbar. Pressing WIN + R on the keyboard to launch the Run dialog box solves the problem.

Taskbar

The taskbar sometimes flickers when changing the input method. If the user drags an application icon to rearrange it in the taskbar, the application launches or minimizes.

File Explorer

Explorer.exe closes in a loop for Insiders using the Turkish display language when the battery charge is 100%. When right-clicking on the desktop or File Explorer, the context menu and resulting submenus may appear partially off-screen.
