What issues or frustrations have you encountered in trying to use and set up Neovim in Windows 11?

I'm currently writing up my experience with installing, setting up, and using Neovim in Windows and would like to hear from others that have tried the same. What was annoying, difficult, or impossible in your experience?

When setting up nvim-treesitter neither clang nor msvc worked. Rather, it worked and compiled the necessary libs but the treesitter plugin failed to load the necessary .so libs. The common troubleshooting steps didn't help (setting up clang as preferred compiler etc.), so I just ended up installing zig and that helped to get it working.

Yup, zig was the way to go when I did it too.

I remember having this issue about an year ago. If I remember correctly I changed the clang from 32-bit to 64-bit binary. I just installed 64-bit version of clang using scoop, which for some reason installed the 32-bit version by default. It worked that way no problem.
