Some settings and features change randomly and some things can not be set.

I don't know if it is a problem with the HP BIOS or Windows 11, but there are multiple problems that are somewhat frustrating. For example, drop down windows sometimes show as normal - black text on a white background. At other times they drop down as a blank white background with no text until the cursor enters the drop down. At still other times the drop down has a black background until the cursor enters the drop down. There are a number of personalization settings that don't stick or randomly change. For the most part the speed and usability is acceptable to good. However the fact that the settings in some cases cannot be controlled and in others change randomly do not inspire confidence. Some programs randomly freeze or do not start properly. Email connections are iffy, as are some internet connections. Again, is it HP, Windows, or even the internet provider? I don't know. What I do know is that I never had any of these problems on my previous desktop (Acer) running Win 8.2 with the same internet provider.
