According to official Microsoft documentation, Windows 11 is currently bug-free, and all known issues flagged affecting the operating system have been resolved. That's a breath of fresh air, considering the past couple of rough months of buggy updates, some preventing users from fully shutting down their PC or signing in to a device when using Remote Desktop.
It's certainly a rare moment when all tracked bugs have been marked as resolved, given that Windows 11 25H2 shipped with bugs and issues that Microsoft has been working on. As highlighted by Neowin, this bug-free state of Windows 11 includes version 26H1, which was built for Snapdragon X2 devices.
However, this doesn't mean that Windows 11 is perfect. It's always possible (and let's be honest, quite likely) that undocumented bugs still exist in the wild, and even worse, new ones could be introduced in future updates.
Nevertheless, at the time of writing, all known issues have been resolved, including broken access to the C: drive, app failures, and cases where updates installed via WUSA could fail if run from a shared folder.
Microsoft acknowledged an annoying bug that locked some Samsung laptop owners out of their C:\ drive on Windows 11 mid-last month. The company indicated that Samsung's Galaxy Connect app was the root cause of the problem, prompting it to temporarily scrap it from the Microsoft Store to prevent the issue from becoming widespread.
As you may know, a big change is on its way to Windows 11. Microsoft will soon let users pause Windows 11 updates forever if they don't need them. "A level of freedom that hasn't been seen since Windows 8," as Senior Editor Zac Bowden puts it.
In theory, if this change had already rolled out, you could pause updates and run the operating system in what feels like a stable state. It'll be interesting to see how the company navigates through future OS changes.
