Similarly, maybe just luck, but I've not really had a problem with windows since windows 10/server 2019. Yeah it's resource heavy but I can't even recall anything I've specifically had to delve into forums to troubleshoot. That said I haven't had to do any windows desktop support since windows 7, thank the gods.
I deployed several server 2022 vms at work due to special circumstance and its actually good out of box, I only disabled some print services and my gold image was ready. Those have been running for a year and I've only rebooted them due to patching. Very different than the windows I adminned back in the 2000s.
