Windows 11

Power Profiles are Causing Throttling of the CPU
Despite the power profile of balanced stating minimum 5% and maximum 100% CPU; the power profile is limiting performance of rendering and other CPU intensive applications. This even from Dell
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/...throttling-of-the-central-processing-unit-cpu

I have always used High Performance profile. And will continue to do so.

See also the advice from bro @unclewebb https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/ultimate-performance-power-plan.283007/post-4535701

The default Balanced power plan prevents the CPU from running at maximum speed when lightly loaded. Some people prefer full speed all of the time. High Performance and Ultimate Performance are for users that need that. The reduced latency is important for some users.

As well https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/a...Intel-Xeon-W-3300-Processor-Performance-2193/

How well do the Intel Xeon W-3300 CPUs perform in Photoshop?
For most users, high-end workstation platforms like Xeon W or Threadripper Pro are not necessary for Photoshop since the Intel 11th Gen or AMD Ryzen CPUs are both cheaper and faster. There are going to be niche workflows where support for huge amounts of RAM will come into play - and higher reliability is always a good thing - but the feature set of Xeon W is largely overkill for Photoshop.

However, one important thing we did find in our testing is that if you plan on using Photoshop on a Xeon W-3300 processor, you may want to switch to the "High Performance" Windows power profile since it can give you up to a 20% increase in Photoshop performance over the default "Balanced" profile. This was enough to bring Xeon W-3300 to on par with Threadripper Pro, where otherwise they would be 15-20% behind.

Its not surprising as it was just announced only 3 months ago with no hype nor build up before then like previous versions of Windows and the fact that most users wont be able to upgrade to it and there barely any changes from Windows 10. Speaking of that Windows 10 21H2 will be released next month too... This wont end well!.

 

The Win 11 hype is real. Even Google will follow on the same rail-road due Microsoft.

Google Chrome is getting menus with rounded corners to match the style of Windows 11
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ou-mean-its-ugly.822800/page-10#post-11120984

 

That's silly lol

Rounded corners looks better on smartphones but not on PCs

 

To be fair Google has pushed rounded looks on Android for a long time now, so there is also that. Nevertheless it looks like poop.

 

As far as appearance goes, I think Windows 7 was the best. Rounded corners, glass borders, shadings, reflections and gradients.

 

VBS IN WINDOWS 11 - UL Benchmarks indicates a loss of performance computerbase.com | Sept 30, 2021

UL Benchmarks informs users of 3DMark, PCMark and Co. about performance losses in Windows 11 as a result of Virtual-based Security (VBS).

The requirements for active VBS
Microsoft's own information on the prerequisites for activating VBS are once again contradictory: At one point , TPM 2.0 and active secure boot are mentioned, at other TPM 2.0 is explicitly mentioned as optional and secure boot is not mentioned at all. Required are:

• Active secure boot
• Active CPU virtualization (AMD: AMD-V / SMV, Intel: VT-x)
• Windows installation as UEFI, not legacy

Yep....

VBS from Windows 10 becomes an issue in Windows 11
Virtualization-based Security (VBS) is already integrated in Windows 10, but is deactivated by default. With Windows 11, Microsoft now wants to work with OEMs to ensure that VBS is activated at the factory.

 

I generally block, refuse, or limit version updates unless there is an improvement in performance that comes from the newest build. Does 17763.316 offer better CPU benchmark scores than 17763.107? If so, I'll update to gain the higher numbers. @Papusan did you notice any improvement?

Disgusting. Monkey see, monkey do.

It seems like being silly (to use a kinder word than I normally would) is standard operating procedure for the technology "leaders" of the world. I prefer the square corners, too. But, I'd tolerate the round corners just fine if everything else were not so screwed up. It's pretty telling when the only thing the tech media can find to be worth talking about is "round corners" LOL. It really emphasizes the fact that Windoze 11 has nothing to offer anyone except for more bloat and an aesthetic downgrade.

Windows 7 was, and still is, the best at just about everything. We began a downhill slide since the day that 8.X was introduced, and now the downhill grade is getting steeper, causing the sliding to accelerate. We are approaching the edge of the cliff, so a free-fall is imminent.

 

Nope. But if I remember correctly some lost some data with the first build. And I neither see decreases in benchmarks with newer builds. Regardless what you go for on LTSC, it’s the only OS I want from Win 10 stacks of OS versions. Clean and light And on top. Never problems with standalone security updates with network disabled. No need to use the Macrium backups.

 

I've got the Dev build running on my old laptop. I'm gonna see if VBS is activated and if so, see if I can deactivate all those features and see if W11 keeps running.

Windows 11 will hobble gaming performance by default on some prebuilt PCs pcgamer.com | Oct 1, 2021

Microsoft 'will be enabling VBS on most new PCs over this next year' and that can tank PC gaming performance by around 25%.

Despite Microsoft's claims that "if you're a gamer, Windows 11 was made for you" you will need to watch out for future prebuilt PCs with the new OS factory installed. That's because the Big M is enabling more security features in PCs by default, and one in particular can seriously tank gaming performance.

In our testing, that can add up to as much as a 28% drop in average frame rates. And you thought the TPM 2.0 restrictions were a pain...

 

Yeah, Microsoft, about the gaming claim... If you want to game stick with 10 and forget that 11 existed so you can keep your framerates high.

This is stupid. Just gives an incentive to bog down even more just because there's more power in processing.

 

As far as I remember, 17763.107 is the RTM for the Win10 LTSC 1809, that one had an issue with default apps setting for some Win32 apps. MS fixed it and later released this new update of 17763.316 iso. Also MSMG cannot service the .316 iso, need to use the 17763.1 iso and add the Security updates on top with the usual debloat procedure. I think @Mr. Fox there's no harm in issuing the KB updates from Security and LTSC patches for this release as brother Papu mentioned.

Coming to the Win10 2021 LTSC, I wonder when they will announce. Perhaps too busy in fixing the dumpster fire of that POS OS Win11 for the masses. I feel pity for the ones who are now fearing for the lack of TPM and Win11 compat. But I don't understand why bother ? Win10 works fine, it even has everything that one needs for the DX12 full feature set (at-least the dumpster Win10 Pro / Home versions). The only reason I would want the LTSC Win10 2021 is to see the new OS with all the WDDM updates. I really hope in that process they do not bust the nut of the Win10 LTSC nature and purpose.

Never going to bother with Win11 junk until 2025, that too only if they have an LTSC on par with Win10 LTSC, but not having confidence esp from the benchmark performance that Mr.Fox shared earlier and it's insane downgrades. Note - At that point Win10 LTSC 2018 still will be getting updates since it's upto 2029, but Win10 mainstream will be left out (though if M$ history tells us anything, they will support it for extended time period like Win7 plus not all corporations have this new spyware chip TPM BS necessity)

 

It's good to know that if I accidentally have some Windoze updates leak past my barricades they might not affect anything. I'm not too worried about "security" and think most of it is severely overhyped. The people that create the need for security updates deserve to be actively hunted down and executed on first sight, no questions asked and no due process of law, but I'm not going to let the overreaction to the existence of human scum get me hot and bothered or live in fear of their nonsense. I look at them like I do COVID-19... very unfortunate, but let's move on with life and not let the tail wag the dog. (My wife and I were both very ill with COVID and it was miserable, but I am still not going to allow the fear of it to alter my lifestyle. Unfortunately, the fear held by those around me really effs things up. I look at Windows security in much the same way. It's a money-maker that is over-hyped to make security software and hardware companies wealthier.)

 

lol....once again should I make the switch? I have 300 games installed and my business beats setup ready to go....windows 11 better be good for me to do a wipe...and how do I get it without a flash drive can you install it like windows 20h2 update kinda like install it in windows

 

For your main system, I'd recommend you wait about a month after launch just in case some hitherto undiscovered bugs come to light. A LOT more people will be 'testing' it after the official launch, so it is a distinct possibility.
If you fulfill the hardware requirements and have sufficient disk space, you'll get the offer to upgrade to Windows 11 much like any other feature update.
However, my personal choice for any major update is to do a clean install. In your case, I appreciate that it is going to be a real pain. Steam and other game managers make it a lot less painful, though, especially if you've installed them on a different drive.

 

Should you? No, absolutely not. There is nothing to gain. There is a loss of functionality. It represents loss by any measurement. You shouldn't unless you want to and you like the aesthetic elements of Windows 11 that many absolutely hate and care more about that than you do anything else. If that is the case, knock yourself out and have fun. Windows 11 is a joke. It carries a bigger bloat payload because it is a re-skinned version of Windows 10 and every major release of Windows packs a larger malware payload than the one before it. The Redmond Reprobates needed something to get their fanboys excited about so they could generate more cash, and so they invented an insanely ugly Windows theme and called it Windows 11 instead of something like stupid like 1H22. Then they tried to make it "incompatible" so their Digi-Mafia incest-lovers that sell hardware can help them milk the cash cow.

 

A useless upgrade. Win 11 is meant to boost the sales of own new released HW junk.

Windows 11 review: An unnecessary replacement for Windows 10 pcworld.com
Windows 11 contains some good ideas. But it also feels like Microsoft made some fundamental changes to Windows for no good reason.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A survey reveals almost half of professional PCs are not ready for Windows 11 winaero.com

Microsoft will ship Windows 11 to the public on October 5, 2021. Eligible devices with compatible motherboards and CPUs will get the operating system via Windows Update, while incompatible devices will stay with Windows 10 (or move to Windows 11 using clean installation). A survey from Lansweeper reveals that quite a large chunk of professional computers and workstations are not ready to upgrade to Windows 11. In fact, more than 55% of surveyed PCs will not get Windows 11 via Windows Update.

 

Where's the "don't bother" rating when you need it?

 

2.5 stars out of 5 is all too much. But you cannot expect much more from the editors at PcWorld. At least they didn't give it 3 stars

 

Couldn't agree more. I've been running the Dev channel release on another rig for testing purposes for work which will essentially be the next major release of W11. Wow, I cannot tell you how many more background services are running, it's absolutely astounding. There are so many touch/tablet functions running that are completely unnecessary and unused for a desktop setup. They just grabbed W10X and reskinned it and called it W11 which means desktop users are burdened with a service stuffed, touch screen oriented, telemetry overloaded piece of garbage. While certainly not surprised, I am still disappointed that they spoiled another incredible opportunity to set themselves apart and instead created a Mac-OS themed knock off. Updating, in this situation, is not synonymous with upgrading. They've just taken one more giant step forward in the data harvesting era of technology. The product is not W11, you and your information are the product. W11 is just the vessel by which your data is extracted for the benefit of others. Ugh, whatever.....

It says enough. I agree that a -5 star rating would be more appropriate, but 1 is as low as they go. The thing is, a rating of 2.5 is half of 5 so they are confirming that it is a half-assed piece of trash with the generous 2.5 star rating.

All very true. And, the concept that we are the product is correct. That's all part of the diabolical plan. The list of default services and running background process on Windows 11 is, indeed, absolutely insane. In a not-so-good way it is amazing that an average PC has enough system resources left to run a web browser.

Tested! Here's how much the new Windows security features hurt PC performance pcworld.com

We tested Intel's 4th- to 11th-gen Core processors and AMD's Ryzen 5000 CPU with Microsoft's Virtualization Based Security feature to see how much performance was hurt.

The elephant in the room is obviously Intel’s 7th-gen Kaby Lake CPUs which, in our testing, basically aren’t slowed down any more than an 8th-gen Kaby Lake R lake laptop. If the 8th-gen Kaby Lake R gets to run Windows 11 and VBS, why not the 7th-gen Kaby Lake chips? That really isn’t clear to us, but we do know Microsoft has indicated driver support and system stability also matters here, not just performance. So there’s likely more to this story.

Still no reason for the new introduced HW requrements to see the lights for Win 11. Should be up to the users. Because you will never ever see a 100% secure OS from Microsoft.

Hurry kids... Upgrade now! Hurry!

 

Not upgrading to Windows 11 certainly seems to be the smart thing to do. However, just like when Windows 10 was launched, the previous OS, in this case Windows 10, is going to turn into nagware, with popups all over the place urging you to upgrade.

 

Yes, that will most likely happen if it is permitted. And, it will be permitted because most Windoze users are muppets that allow the tail to wag the dog. But, not here. Metaphorically speaking, we are (or should be) the gods of our computers. An OS that can't be controlled by its "god" deserves to be damned. Windoze 11 is worthy of it regardless. It's an unholy product, produced by an ungodly company, and the devil is in the details.

Why Microsoft Is So Hell-Bent On Windows 11 TPM And Cloud Security Requirements hothardware.com

David Weston, Microsoft director of OS and enterprise security, spoke with CRN about the company's controversial decisions with Windows 11. The primary motivation, according to Weston, was to improve security across the board for consumers and businesses, and that meant making some hard decisions regarding hardware requirements.

For example, Weston said that only 8th generation Intel processors and newer support all the functionality of VBS and TPM 2.0 while hitting its internal performance requirements. That's why only a select few 7th generation Core processors are supported by Windows 11, while the vast majority are blocked.

"Ultimately, we could have chosen many lines," he added. "But we used data analysis around reliability, performance, and security to get there, and that is how we landed on that particular bar."

Windows 11: The bottom line
I'm sure Microsoft will add back some of the missing features and behaviors in future releases, but I don't think it'll add back everything. I have a feeling that the vision for Windows 11 going forward is simplicity and ease of use, catering more to the average user who is more familiar with how things are done on their phone, and less to the die-hard Windows power users who want everything to be accessible in a single-click.

Windows 11 review: Aesthetics over functionality neowin.net

 

Yes, amen to that. We will never see a 100% secure OS from them or anyone else. Any device connected to the internet is vulnerable to exploit. Plus, the immensely more important underlying matter is that it is none of their damned business what CPU is installed, or whether or not Secure Boot and TPM are available or enabled. They need to butt out and buzz off with the hardware requirements nonsense. It is fine to recommend those things, but requiring those things is outrageous and it makes their ugly-looking digital abortion harder to accept, or outright unacceptable. It may not occur to them that some people don't want Secure Boot and TPM, so they should not have a surprised look on their faces when people reject the idea of installing their trash OS. Anyone that goes out and buys a new laptop only "so they can have Windows 11" deserves whatever kind of broken pile of garbage they get just for being ignorant.

 

This didn't take long:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Windo...-memory-leaks-remain-unresolved.568613.0.html

Details:

File Explorer memory leak
The other major bug that was noticed by Insiders (via u/gyrohan269 on Reddit) is a File Explorer memory leak. Essentially, any well-written process should free up the allocated memory space once it has been terminated. Looks like that's not the case with File Explorer in the public release of Windows 11 (Build 22000.194).

The issue appears to affect all Windows 11 installs; we could replicate this issue ourselves as well. Just open multiple windows of File Explorer and notice the RAM usage in Task Manager. Now, close each window to see if the RAM usage declines accordingly. In all likelihood, it doesn't.

If you work with File Explorer a lot with too many Explorer windows open, you may eventually end up with a sluggish PC. This problem may not necessarily impede those with fast RAM kits and the likes, but it does pose an issue for systems with lesser (and slower) memory.

Nevertheless, this is a problem that should not exist in the first place. Third-party apps such as Files v2 and Shrestha Files Pro do not suffer from this bug, so it's high time Microsoft fixes this on a priority. If you notice this issue as well, be sure to log it in the Feedback Hub for an increased probability of redressal.

A launch day memory leak? Really? M$ had a real opportunity with W11 to change the game in a meaningful way. I held a sliver of hope that the development of WSL meant a kernel change might be coming. With leadership at M$ starting to warm to the idea of open source as a viable and necessary element of the development ecosystem, W11 could have positioned itself as the ultimate OS; a platform where private/public partnership met and a possible start towards the last operating system anyone might need. Customizable, transparent, tiered support and delivery, and most of all, debugging in the open. Instead, we get a tablet OS shoehorned in a bug-ridden, overburdened W10 clone. What a mess.

As long as people are willing to accept garbage and deal with correcting the problems on their own, or living with those problems, there will be an endless supply of garbage. Garbage hardware, garbage OSes, and garbage software available for download from their "store" cesspools.

Aesthetics? Really? Where? Maybe they really mean the absence of pleasing aesthetic qualities and they are trying extra-hard to find something nice to say.

It amazes me that they showcase the disgusting UI as if it is something special. It's ugly enough to gag a maggot. W8.X and W.10 were arguably equally atrocoious, but they clearly are not learning from past mistakes and they seem to have a knack for employing designers with no talent in the area of design. They have all the bases covered... it's ugly, and it's inefficient, and it impairs performance. By my count that is three strikes.

 

Yep, the major problem is the users/people that is willing to accept garbage.... http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...nfo-for-their-ads.831352/page-7#post-11121867

See my comment above.

 

I tried running the OS in a virtual machine again but this time with the released ISO and, well, they didn't actually tighten up the TPM requirement. So, I downloaded Pro, chosen Pro for installation and did that TPM bypass trick thing with Regedit. It did install, but discovered that in setup that was slower than molasses I still had to login with my Microsoft account and had no option for local user... What gives?

I went with Pro, expecting to see Local account creation but the setup UI looks so awful and burned my eyes. I ended up deleting the VM entirely, and was surprised to see it still actually work in a VM, without TPM...

Back in June, when Windows 11 was leaked online, users found that the “next generation of windows” required an internet connection to grab a Microsoft ID.

Benchmarked: Do Windows 11’s Security Features Really Hobble Gaming Performance? tomshardware.com 5 hours ago By Paul Alcorn

How much do they hurt, and how to opt out.

Wrapping Up
Microsoft's decision to leave millions of older systems off the Windows 11 upgrade list has earned plenty of criticism, and much of that decision hinged on the performance impact of these types of security features. As a byproduct of targeted hardware-level optimizations, like MBEC, newer chips can handle these types of security measures without as much of a performance loss.

However, our tests show that you will still see an impact in both gaming and application performance due to the heightened security, and that's even with the newer chips.

This long nasty list below is latest patches for their latest Win 10 versions. I wonder how long the list will be for Win 11 every months forwards.

What's new in KB5005611

• Addresses an issue that causes the system time to be incorrect by one hour after a daylight saving time (DST) change.
• Addresses an issue that causes the Server Manager application to disappear after you use it to remove Hyper-V features on Windows Server 2022.
• Addresses an issue with parsing time formats in event logs. This issue occurs when you exclude milliseconds.

It is such a joy to exempt myself from their ridiculousness. By refusing to participate in their nonsense, I bypass the endless and unnecessary drama associated with using Windoze in the manner that they would like me to. Even the versions of Windoze that I hate most work reasonably well for me because I don't allow them to molest my system with their update filth. When it ain't broke I don't fix it.
