I had black screens when I switched to balanced power mode (it just happened to coincide), switched back to maximum performance, and the problems disappeared.

Windows 11 KB5074109 is causing performance drops with Nvidia GPUs

when playing games i tend to just play them and have fun so i won't notice any performance drops unless it's major. most updates, OS or gpu driver, are likely going to add performance gains/losses. as long as it's not something completely broken or performance keeps getting worse over time then i don't care.
that said, the only thing i've noticed recently is sometimes when i shut down my PC (which isn't that much) my display will sometimes not appear until the log in screen. usually i can see the bios stuff. once or twice it doesn't turn back on and i need to quickly press my PC power button which for some reason brings back the display.
everything else is "fine". nothing unsual. i'm fully up to date on everything with windows and nvidia drivers.

Unfortunately I have a PC to play exactly the type of games that I think a) suck on console and b) don't work on linux. Mostly FPS or RTS games, that have anticheat. Some are non-negotiable like Starcraft.
Just to get by playing those games, I can tolerate Windows, but it slowly slid away from being my main platform, to something I only use when necessary.

Since I installed Windows 11, I think the only reported bug I experienced was one related to HDR. It was automatically activating Dolby Vision, which changed the desktop colors, but all I had to do was go to the menu, disable HDR, and then re-enable it. However, this was soon fixed.
I think it helps that I used WinUtil to remove any kind of bloatware from my PC. And the updates are in manual mode, so I only update every 1 or 2 months, but I've gone as long as 4 months without updating.
Another fact is that I only use this machine for gaming or watching videos. If I used it daily, I would probably see more problems.

Nah its just a regular HP laptop but with some modified corporate Linux distribution installed. Looking forward to it but migration of data/setup is always a nightmare even if same OS but new laptop.
It has 64GB ram though, ordered it as soon as i could, hopefully it wont be gimped on RAM with the shortage/cost.

I'm having the same issue with a fairly new ASUS monitor. I figured it was just a Linux bug (as that's what I'm running) but if you're getting the same issue and have similar hardware maybe it's a more hardware specific issue.

The windows decline has been so rough the past few years, Even at work if it isn't the OS it's the app it's breaking.
