    It not happening to everyone doesn't mean that it's not an issue.

    Years back there was an issue with a windows update that eliminated the "Documents" folder on some people. I updated my computer and the folder was still there. It didn't happen to me, but it did happen.

    There are millions of possible computer configurations. Some issues may happen in some computers but won't happen in others.

    Even if 2 people have the same computer, they might have followed a different path to reach the current version of windows. Some might've started at win 10 and upgraded from there, others might've installed the latest version of win11.

    All those things might result in bugs happening in some devices but not on others.
