Windows 11

You're welcome. Welcome to the community. We are glad you joined us.

It could certainly be an unusual bug with Windows 11. If going back to Windows 10 doesn't fix the problem, then I would remove the drives the OS is not installed to for testing and see if the issue occurs only with the OS drive and go through the process of elimination from that point.

Todays Joke Of course from Redmond HQ.

• Windows 11 has for weeks been advertised as the best OS for gamers.

• It now seems Microsoft will be enabling security features by default that could affect gaming performance.

Some prebuilt PCs might cause gaming performance issues in Windows 11 Windowsreport.com | October 22, 2021

 

That chipset driver update from AMD actually made a huge improvement. Cinebench score on the crappy 2600X CPU increased dramatically. Not sure what W11 messed up, but AMD fixed it.

Uh... mmm... no. I don't think so. Homey don't play dat. Stupid doesn't get any love here.

StartAllBack is absolutely awesome. It has been the only alternative Start menu I have been willing to use for a very long time, and it's the only one for W11 that's good enough to fix everything. The other alternatives are pretty half-assed. It meant the difference between me being willing to continue testing W11 and walking away from a totally disgusting and repulsively MacOS X-looking pile of dung.

 

this is also a good one: Start 11

 

I have no doubt that it is better than stock, but I stopped using Stardock products a few years ago because they were too bloated and adversely impacted performance too much. It also seemed in some ways they were trying to a degree of respect to certain parts of what the Redmond Retards were doing to Windows instead of taking a sledgehammer to their messes.

Looking at the screenshots on their web site, it too closely resembles the repulsive tackiness of W11 to be acceptable. Their Windows 7 theme barely resembles Windows 7 and the rest of their themes don't go nearly far enough in terms of restoring a classic Windows look and feel. StartAllBack totally leaves them in the dust in terms of fixing Micro$lop's messes.

 

can you name one thing that Windows 11 would offer me that is better than 10 Enterprise LTSC FTW?

!f j00 60, ! would $3|\|6 j00 a v!rtu41 c00k!3

 

Nope. Nada. Zilch. Unless ugliness is your bag, and then yeah. Totally ugly.

I'm sorry, I do not homoglyphs. I won't even try anymore. I just skip over it because it is too annoying. Now, that's not your fault, brother. There is a guy at work that does it frequently and it's not cute anymore because he has ruined it for me.

 

ok just wanted to make sure there is nothing I am missing. There is this little Microshaft devil in my head that keeps telling me "but it's a way newer OS with newer basic drives such as NVMe and whatnot" that may provide better performance but the benchmarks don't show this.

 

Well, you know me. I test everything because either way I win. If it is better, I win. If it is sucks and I gather evidence to support the fact that it sucks, rather that irrationally complain about something on the basis that it is new and different, I still win. It's sad that I don't have an example of the first kind of winning since Windows 7 was released. But, I do find a sick kind of pleasure in identifying reasons why it sucks.

The reason you have that little Micro$lop devil whispering in your ear is that there are no Micro$lop angels. All of the big tech leaders are corrupt and rotting from the inside out.

 

We are paying more for laptops just because they are Windows 11 compatible windowsreport.com

Are manufacturers adding a Windows 11 tax to their prices?
Ever since Microsoft announced the new operating system, hardware manufacturers all over the world rushed to create and put out new laptop models that are Windows 11-ready.

Brands like Asus, HP, Acer, Dell, and Lenovo were among the first ones to come up with these new devices and most of them are already available for purchase if you were looking for an alternative for Surface models.



Maybe they think Win 11 have less bugs and flaws than Win 10?

Only administrators are allowed to print documents on Windows 11

 

Might as well. The people willing to pay for more for them are dumber than a box of rocks. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

And Microsoft do everything they can to help its partners and themself. They know very well there is a lot of people out there they can lure into their trap.



Microsoft will push PC Health Check app to all Windows 10 PCs pcworld.com | Today

Microsoft says in a support document that it's going to push its PC Health Check app to all Windows 10 PCs as a way to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 11… and provide a system dashboard for your PC.

 

And this is how Mac OS looks like when you first set it up on the new Mac OS Monterey, all. telemetry turned off by default and it's just 2 switches, no tweaking for 2 hours to make the OS not act like a spying device:

 

Another go at some restricted, downscaled, irritating, anemic, locked down OS \ hardware in a bid to copy and match their previous big failures ?

HI All, I have a Metabox P670RE-G (Now running a Clevo generic BIOS as it was stuck on 5.10 with a Keyboard shift bug).

In any case, I loaded Windows 11 on it (I know its not supported because of the i7 6700).

But has anybody else with a Clevo Laptop had an issue where the Laptop successfully boots to the logon screen every 2nd boot?
(Gets stuck at the Vendor Logo, eventually turns itself off, or sits there for ages with the fans pegged @ 100%).

If I then power it on again (if it turns itself off), or reboot it via CTRL-ALT-Delete, it boots successfully?

Happy to roll-back to Windows 10, but was hoping it may be fixable (which is why I tried the Clevo BIOS in the first place

Cheers All!

UPDATE:
As an update to the above, I ended up Disabling both Fast Startup and Hibernation on my Laptop and have had no issues since. Cheers all for the assistance.

 

A nice downgrade with help from Microsoft.... Razer Book (late 2021) review: Now with Windows 11

Where is the performance gain with Win 11 claimed by Microsoft? @Mr. Fox @Spartan@HIDevolution

Razer offer a bad product regarding performance vs others and Win 11 make it even worse

Win 11 got my honest verdict. The valuable "Green puke" trophy stamp.

 

More like force users to upgrade to Windows 11 when they dont want to. I bet the dashboard will have some hidden telemetry in it.

 

A new fantastic must have improvement for Win 11 is in work from Microsoft's engineers.

PRINTER PROBLEMS Even with Windows 11, there is still no end in sight computerbase.de
Microsoft's problems with printing in the network have now dragged on for over two years and there is no end in sight under Windows 11 either.

Tested: AMD's Windows 11 Patch Wins Some, Loses Some tomshardware.com | 1 day ago

Update: We've added testing and commentary below to reflect our updated testing with both the Windows 11 and AMD chipset driver patches that became available last week.

Our real-world game testing didn't find any large performance changes, as some games benefit from the patches while others lose a slight amount of performance or remain the same, balancing out any gains in our overall measurements below.

We found that synthetic measurements of AMD's L3 latency and fabric have returned to normal. We still see a small reduction in L3 bandwidth measurements in Windows 11, but these don't appear to have a performance impact in most of our tested games.

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

Yep, another failed feature added as default.

Windows 11 started rolling out on October 5, 2021. The operating system brings a new Start menu, a refreshed interface, and several new features and improvements. It also includes a Chat app powered by Microsoft Teams. This is the default communication app on Windows 11, and it can sit comfortably in the Taskbar.

AMD’s latest chipset driver fixes Windows 11 CPPC2 issues on Ryzen windowsreport.com | Oct 30, 2021

Update: Issues with Ryzen CPUs and Windows 11 persist
Yes, we all thought that Microsoft and AMD managed to fix the issue that was slowing down Ryzen processors running on the latest Redmond-designed operating system.

Waters calmed down for a while, but apparently because the tsunami hadn’t reached inland yet. This problem seems to be bigger than we thought initially because it’s back.

If you install Windows 11 while using a 5950X CPU, for example, and then change to the 5800X or really any other Ryzen CPU, the L3 latency increases even more.

So, clearly, nothing has been resolved yet. Social media platforms and forums have been flooded with complaints from people that actually noticed this behavior.

Doesn't this look fun bro @Mr. Fox Team Red+Microsoft=Disaster

So, basically, it seems like you have to fresh install Windows 11 for every CPU change which, needless to say, is making updating our data a nightmare.

Not to mention that gaming performance drops quite significantly, sometimes by 20%. So everyone is now simply waiting for Microsoft and AMD to team up again and fight this issue off for good.

Windows (PrintNightmare) printing problems as of Nov. 1, 2021 (KB5006674, KB5006670)
Posted on November 1, 2021 by Günter Born

​

We November 1, 2021 and it raises the question of the status of printing problems in Windows. Microsoft has been patching the PrintNightmare vulnerability since the summer, but is always creating new problems. Even at the beginning of November 2021, the printing problems were not resolved.

Windows 11 also floods folders with empty TMP directory garbage
Posted on November 1, 2021 by Günter Born

​

With Windows 11 everything is indeed better, nicer and faster - at least if one can believe the Microsoft marketing. The only thing that is a bit stupid is that the developers in Redmond are creatures of habit. They really build the old Windows 10 errors into this new, great Windows 11. A blog reader pointed out to me that Windows 11 also floods folders with empty TMP directory garbage.

 

Thankfully, I am back to living in an AMD-free world now, so this won't directly affect me.

This does have potential to be a blessing in disguise. If it causes a massive movement in the rejection of Winduhz 11 then this is a good thing. Everyone but the Redmond Reprobates would benefit from that.

 

I was asking about win11, not sure what a win10 ltsc video has to do with that. Sheesh.

 

You asked whats the difference. Enterprise come in two versions. The added moniker (LTSC) stands for Long-Term Servicing Channel (see the video).

And already posted in this thread that Win 11 Ent LTSC won't happen this or next year. Next LTSC version will still be built on Win 10.

See also https://techcommunity.microsoft.com...m-servicing-channel-ltsc-release/ba-p/2147232

Edit.

https://www.neowin.net/news/microso...dows-11-ltsc-release-but-its-a-few-years-out/

 

The newest LTSC version is Server 2022 and it's Datacenter built off of 2021H2.
What that means is it's not something you want to run on a desktop or laptop unless you are very comfortable with no gaming, no simple surfing, super locked down security...and on and on.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-2022
Certainly nothing is stopping you from running it but you are going to have to adjust most everything you do to accommodate server security, there would be workarounds galore.

 

Ok I can see that reading comprehension is not that strong with some. Was NOT asking what the difference was between win10 LTSC and win11 enterprise, but what is the WINDOWS ELEVEN equivalent of windows 10 LTSC. It was just a question I have no plans on switching to win11 ANYTHING for years, WIN TEN LTSC 1809 has support to 2028 no reason to go otherwise. Oof.

Edit: I'm not reading through a whole thread to hear someone specifics news sorry it's not going to happen, regardless so just answering questions is too much than that's your problem.

 

I think the simple answer to that is that there is no equivalent to Windows 10 LTSC available in Windows 11. It doesn't exist.

Depending on how one defines "equivalent" there will not be a newer equivalent even in the next release of Windows 10 LTSC because that will be based on a newer, more inferior and slower (slower goes hand-in-hand with newer) version of Windows 10. Every version release following 1809 has been a downgrade with degraded performance. Windows 11 is arguably the worst version of Windows 10 we have seen so far, but that is a trend and it would be an anomaly to see an improvement.

 

The Snipping tool was released for Win Vista in 2002; +18 years later and Microsoft just had to screw it up for Win 11, LOOL

The Snipping Tool may be broken according to Windows 11 users windowsreport.com | Nov 2, 2021

• Windows 11 recently launched with new features, but it also has a few hiccups.
• According to some users, the Snipping Tool is failing to open.
• The Snipping Tool had received a facelift earlier.

As users are basking in the recently launched OS, it appears that they are also having a share of problems in equal measure.

The Snipping Tool received a facelift sometime back, but users are now complaining that they are experiencing some difficulties when trying to use it.

The Snipping Tool had huge improvements, such as dark mode and other key features for Windows 11.

 

The old Snipping Tool was better. It was a single-purpose utility that just worked... flawlessly. The "new and improved" Winduhz 11 version sucks IMHO. Seems like every "enhancement" they do sucks. They're great at doing sucky things. Masters of Disasters.

 

What "isn't" broken in this eternal BETA OS? such basic thing are broken even a screenshot tool and printing functionality!

 

Win 10 is also in beta but not as bad as this mess.

 

This is funny...from MDL Forum

 

Win 11 in proper lights. When you fail at birth. M$ have worked thigt with Intel the last year to make Win 11 the prefered choice for their new Hybrid chips. Less is more, LOOL


To summarize it, however, in most cases we saw virtually no difference between Windows 11 and Windows 10. In fact, the two applications where there was a drop in performance with Windows 11 was actually with the brand new Intel CPUs

Windows 11 issues: Microsoft confirms widespread app crashes windowslatest.com - November 3, 2021

Another day, another bug has been found in Windows 11. As we explained in our report earlier today, a Windows 11 bug is crashing Snipping Tool (snippingtool.exe) with a cryptic "This app can't open"...

Microsoft has now confirmed that an expired certificate is causing issues for users.

Lots of users are reporting frequent crashes when they try to open the Clipboard or emoji panel, touch keyboard, settings and other popular apps, making it hard to use the PC. Yep, new has to be better newer.

Not only Apple create Garbage...

OPINION
The Windows 11 taskbar is an annoying step backward pcworld.com

Why did Microsoft remove so much functionality for an OS designed for work?

There’s a ritual among dedicated PC users. We watch new Apple events closely (whether we admit it or not), just to see what weird stuff the other side of the computer aisle is up to.

No steps forward, two steps back
The biggest change to the new taskbar in Win 11 is that its tools and shortcuts are centered, as seen on the MacOS dock and (perhaps a better comparison) the ChromeOS taskbar. Microsoft is still intent on adding extra tools next to the Start button that I personally have never seen anyone use.


Microsoft once again throw out a new carrot/rabbit from their thin foil hat to try push trick you over on Win 11.

Windows 11 has a weird bug that 'overcharges' laptop batteries

Everyone likes the idea of squeezing as much life out of their laptop as possible, and every new iteration of Windows has made great promises about prolonging battery life.

But a strange bug in Windows 11 means you might get more than you bargained for. Over on Reddit, one user shared screenshots of their laptop battery charging to beyond 100 percent.

 

Where's the performance gain Microsoft bragged about? Do they even test own home brewed OS? Conclusion - 15:19

 

It seems Microsoft's engineers works hard to make Win 11 useful and tasty.

What you need to know

• Microsoft promised Windows users some slick new 3D emoji by "holiday season" 2021.
• Microsoft then provided them with 2D emoji, which has caused some users to lament being "robbed" of a dimension.
• Now, Microsoft is back on Twitter, showcasing 3D turtles, and it's unclear what the intention is.

HARD-HITTING JOURNALISM
Windows 11 emojigate rages on as Microsoft flaunts 3D turtles windowscentral.com

 

They chose turtles because Windows 11, and the people that like it, are slow.

 

What?

Microsoft please stop messing about with the emoji garbage. This isn't a kids toy.

 

Even though the UI looks like a low budget cartoon, it is far too messy for children.

Windows 11 SE wallpaper is available to download now windowscentral.com

Rainbow sherbet is delicious. The Windows 11 SE wallpaper probably isn't nearly as tasty, but at least it will remind you of rainbow sherbet.

They could put the crap into the new Win 11 sibling branded Win 11 SE.

Microsoft announces Windows 11 SE built for low-cost education PCs

 

The wallpaper that some people say is so beautiful looks truly hideous to me. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I won't fault anyone for having different taste than me. But, I can't relate to the notion that it looks nice. There are a couple (maybe 2 or 3 at the most) of random things that I like about the Windows 11 GUI, but none of them are related to aesthetics. I cannot identify anything that I consider aesthetically pleasing.

 

I don't know why but the Surface Laptop SE would look more appealing with a 1080p panel than 768p. I'd buy one with 1080p. Preferably with Windows 11 Pro so I have total control.

 

I won't get into the pros and mostly cons of things in Windows 11 already covered in this thread (like performance degradation, weird UI, moving things around, unnecessary resources wasted on kiddy emoji's, etc.), but with that said after using it for two weeks now I would grade my experience a C to C+. At first I thought the centering of the Windows Start button would annoy me, but like anything else, if you use it enough times it grows on you. And the UI for folder explorer is decent enough, but TBH, it has been working fine since Windows 95.

The biggest issue I still struggle with now is the change to put a menu on "context menus"! Just a dumb idea. For example, I use context menus to move files using Cut/Paste. So when I'm looking for Cut/Copy/Paste, on a context menu, now I have to either look at the toolbar icons (no text by default) horizontally and then scan through a list of items displayed by text vertically. Maybe it's a case of you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I think scanning horizontally on images and then vertically on text doesn't lend itself to quickly finding what you're looking for. It's easier to look in "one place" than two (if that makes sense).

 

in Winaero Tweaker you can bring back the old right click context menu easily with the click of a button.

 

But you can't get the new fancy official Win 11 SE wallpapers from there

Microsoft’s Windows 11 SE cannot be reinstalled once removed windowsreport.com

Windows 11 SE availability
According to Microsoft, Windows 11 SE cannot be bought and installed onto PC and laptops. This is a major setback as schools now have to get new hardware that will allow them to benefit from the new Windows 11 SE.

You can only access the Windows 11 SE only if the laptop you get comes with it already pre-installed. it is worth noting that you can update these devices to Windows 10 or even Windows 11.

However, you will not be able to reinstall Windows 11 SE onto your device once you remove it from your device. Microsoft pulled the same stunt with the licenses on the ARM versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10.

 

They really are trying, aren't they? Why not make it worth the price, then Microsoft?

 

Yep, they are

It is clear that Microsoft won't reverse its position on the change without outside pressure. Users of Windows 11 are blocked from making changes that they want to make.
