Stop! In the Name of Love - The Supremes

While this sometimes works, it often doesn't account for cautions or lapped traffic that block a necessary overtake.

The question unanswered in your terminology is whether the "power off" and "power on" were a shutdown and startup software cycle or a physical power cycling of the computer by turning off the power supply or unplugging the power cord. If a shutdown and startup is more effective than a restart...

Docker is easy (much more so than VMs), but it adds some overhead (especially if you're using hardware transcoding). I'm betting that Windows 11 is the root of your evils.

One should never equate Chrome and Chromium. Chrome adds its own "personality" to the ClusterFuzz (one of Google's AI tools for identifying software bugs).

Plex also offers auto-skip. What it doesn't offer is TV Everywhere, which is key to your local broadcast experience.
