I upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but ever since installing the latest version, I've been facing various issues that make it nearly unusable. For instance, Windows shows that it's 'not activated' even though it was previously activated, some apps like Photos won't open, and I'm experiencing noticeable screen tearing and stuttering in the interface. On the bright side, rolling back to an earlier version of Windows 11 has restored functionality: apps open fine, activation is stable, and overall performance is much smoother. My PC specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X CPU, ASUS TUF Gaming GTX 1650 GPU, 16GB RAM, and a mix of NVMe and SSD storage. I've tried running the Activation Troubleshooter and updating the GPU drivers. My main question is: how can I switch to the latest Windows 11 build without these problems, and is it even feasible for my PC?

The latest Windows 11 versions have some stability problems because they're partly developed with AI and there seems to be less testing. If you want a more stable experience in the long run, you might want to consider switching to Linux or even Windows 10 LTSC, which is designed for long-term stability. However, I should warn that LTSC isn't typically meant for regular home users.
First things first, make sure you actually have a legitimate Windows license. If you’re unsure, you might want to check with the store where you bought the PC. If that's all good, try using the MSI Live Update tool to ensure all your drivers are up to date, especially the ones for your motherboard. Having the latest drivers can sometimes resolve these issues after an upgrade.
Honestly, if you're facing this much trouble, it might be worth staying on the older version of Windows 11 that works for you. Microsoft is good at rolling out updates, so keeping your current setup while waiting for further fixes could be a reasonable choice.
