    An operating system cannot brick a piece of hardware. This seems like a PEBKAC issue honestly.

      it works fine in any Windows except 11

      PEBKAC

      Maybe your opinion is a ID10T or a PICNIC error.

      Sure it can. It may not have in this case, but there’s plenty of hardware that can be bricked by an OS.
