The idea that you could accidentally open a webpage instead of launching a program is a UX embarrassment.
I ended up having to go to Run and type the .msc of device manager - obviously spelled with a shortened version that had to be googled as somehow THAT didn't auto-complete.
Windows 11 needs to be exposed for what it is, a spyware operating system. I had booted into it just to test whether a hardware device was at fault or a USB cable was, then dual-booted back into Linux.
