Windows 11

More context

People are focused on Windows 11 security and platform compatibility—especially a reported zero-day that bypasses default BitLocker protections—and on running Windows 11 on ARM in virtualization. In parallel, there’s general Windows 11 usability/community talk (like accessing Task Manager and path/utility questions), but the security exploit is the most urgent thread.
