I had similar issues... especially after Win11. Admittedly, I was running Insiders builds, because I wanted new WSLg features, etc. Then one day I was on Windows 11... okay, got the app bar pinned back on the left... a month later, oh, you don't have secure boot enabled, you'll need to reinstall... enabled secure boot, still had to reinstall... a few months later, the nvidia drivers kept borking out and blanking my screen. The Windows release kept overriding the newer NVidia drivers for w11. Figured out how to pin them... another couple months, start seeing adverts in the damned start menu search. That's it, I'm out. I reinstalled Win10 in case I needed it, disabled secure boot and tpm... and haven't booted back to my windows drive since. I've had two small issues in Ubuntu, both relatively easily fixed.

I don't think I'm going back. I use Win10 at work, and fortunately most of my actual day is in VS Code under WSL. And that's about all I can stand.

In fairness, you can't take your experience with insider builds as an indicator of the stability of the OS. Insider builds are expected to be unstable.

When I reinstalled after the insiders build first nuked itself, I switched to stable/mainline. Still had issues after that. I had run insiders on Win10 about 3 years without issue before that.
