I'm pretty sure Windows 11 isn't in beta??? Here's my System/About information: Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Installed on ‎10/‎03/‎2022 OS build 22000.556 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.556.0 Is there a more relevant forum/website I could go to for advice...

Totally agree, which is why I've come to this forum for advice.
