About windows 10, will be good you post step by step how produce any bug or more detail.
1- not using it for an extended period of time make the dial go to deep sleep mode, I cant fix that, only Microsoft can with a firmware update, click the dial make the dial wakeup after 1 or 2 seconds.
2- You can try the mode with touchpad mode, or you can click the mouse instead the dial to release the action.
About windows 11, i plan start test next week, windows 11 require some polish usually I support newer OS, but this time depends of MS and the new OS not introduce new bugs etc itself. More info soon.
