Every time you upgrade your operating system to a new version, you need to redo all the tweaking you have done over the time you had it installed. Especially for audio production. This may be different if you successfully use a migration tool like that updated may have done, or how it is on Macs. But if you go for the safer "save and pave" method of installing, like from an ISO on a bootable installer; you have to do it all over again. Invariably, you will always forget some of the less obvious tweaks you have applied along the way; even if you do use some posted checklist or procedure. They are never specific enough to include all of your devices and software configurations that might be unique to only what you use.

The root cause of your problem has actually been skipped over by basically every reply anyway.

 

oh ok I didn't know how to do that, got it bro

 

Right, see there was a program you could get to destroy/kill windows 10 remove all the bloat etc, and get it to bare bones,but so far
I have not seen a such utility for Windows 11

 

oh I see,
then make sure disk encryption is not enabled, perhaps Windows 11 does that by default now, it's a huge performance hit and makes no sense especially when many modern SSDs support hardware-accelerated encryption for those who need it
