Microsoft retuning null pointers for information classes has broken enumeration of handles, threads and other objects:

• SystemModuleInformation (11) RTL_PROCESS_MODULE_INFORMATION RTL_PROCESS_MODULE_INFORMATION.DllBase
• SystemLocksInformation (12) RTL_PROCESS_LOCK_INFORMATION RTL_PROCESS_LOCK_INFORMATION.Address
• SystemHandleInformation (16) SYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION SYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION.Handles[N].Object
• SystemObjectInformation (17) SYSTEM_OBJECT_INFORMATION SYSTEM_OBJECT_INFORMATION.Object
• SystemExtendedHandleInformation (64) SYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION_EX SYSTEM_HANDLE_INFORMATION_EX.Handles[N].Object
• SystemBigPoolInformation (66) SYSTEM_BIGPOOL_INFORMATION SYSTEM_BIGPOOL_INFORMATION.AllocationInfo[N].VirtualAddress
• SystemModuleInformationEx (77) RTL_PROCESS_MODULE_INFORMATION_EX RTL_PROCESS_MODULE_INFORMATION_EX.BaseInfo.ImageBase
• SystemFullProcessInformation (148) SYSTEM_EXTENDED_THREAD_INFORMATION.StackBase
• SYSTEM_EXTENDED_THREAD_INFORMATION.Win32StartAddress if the thread’s Win32StartAddress is a kernel address.
• SYSTEM_EXTENDED_THREAD_INFORMATION.ThreadInfo.StartAddress
• ProcessHandleTracing (32) PROCESS_HANDLE_TRACING_QUERY PROCESS_HANDLE_TRACING_QUERY.HandleTrace[N].Stacks
• ProcessWorkingSetWatchEx (42) PROCESS_WS_WATCH_INFORMATION_EX
• PROCESS_WS_WATCH_INFORMATION_EX.BasicInfo.FaultingPc

I liked Vista 😇 and was using it as main system since Build 5456. And in Vista Windows Error reporting showed in which build/update my issues were fixed

I would like to see this again in Windows 10/11.

My test VM with latest ESU updates 6.0.6003 runs fine, here you see how fast Explorer was, not like today with 11 and the XAML integration since 23H2.
