It's not clear if you mean #1 in quality or popularity. I'll assume you mean the latter. Is Windows really that unstable?

I meant popularity. My brand new Win11 laptop freezes or crashes all the time. My relatives laptops too. It's slower every year, even on high-end hardware.

"New" Windows laptops have always crashed unless you carefully purchase your units carefully and generally remove any manufacture trash installed with them. Consumer laptops are especially bad. Meanwhile I've purchased and supported thousands of business grade laptops with a much lower rate of incidents, but they are typically more conservative with the cutting edge hardware and have better bios/uefi support.

Maybe a hardware defect.

I’ve been running windows 11 on a couple of pcs for at least a year and never seen it crash once.
