I have in fact never had or seen this problem, and I'm quite bewildered by so many people having it. Do your normal windows updates do it? Or transition between major Windows versions? Or is it just a Win 11 problem?

I've pretty much always used a dual boot Win/Linux laptop, since around Vista, and I'm on 10 now (but only use it for a few games; all important things in Linux).

Usually people have issues with this when they don't create the partition free space for the linux partition inside windows first

Ah, that could be it. It's a long time since I used to resize Windows from Linux; now on a new laptop I always (...I think?!) resize from Windows to make space, unless it's a friend's laptop with extra D/E/etc partitions I can delete or resize one.
