Mine's still Windows 10 and I just got this issue since today. I'm not sure if this issue exists since one or two months before cuz I haven't use this for so long.

I've been experiencing the same issue for one or two months. Initially, I suspected there might be something wrong with my version of Windows. However, I have since upgraded from Windows 11 21H to the 23H2 version, yet the problem persists.
