Windows 11 General Discussion

[Splinterdog]

Depends on your perspective. IF the Xbox app is troubling you, stop using it, remove it and move on to something less of a hassle. It's perfectly constructive within the context of removing hassle and irritation from your gaming life.

You're just being obtuse now, with all due respect. The XBox app is not troubling me, it's Microsoft's game management that's the issue, with or without their apps, a point which you seem reluctant to address.
And, as if I need to spell it out, I enjoy the Forza series which you can only play through Microsoft apps and I have no intention of ditching those games. I don't see why that is so difficult to understand.

I got your point. Lose the name calling. The game library for ms games is a pain. Not contesting that. What I'm saying is, if you want a hassle free experience, move to another game platform. Otherwise this is not the thread for such a campaign of complaint. Let's move on..

Don't know if this is a Windows 11 thing

My CPU can do 2.83 GHz, but Task manager/Performance has it bouncing around but never reaching 2.83

Now if I use CPU-Z, it also bounces around, but I do get to see it reach 2.83 GHz now and again; even if I put the CPU under stress, while CPU-Z shows it stuck at 2.83 GHz, Task manager/Performance has it stuck at 2.58 GHz

As for me liking WiN11, I have WiN10/WiN7 on each SSDs but as Windows 11 gets a big update it kills Windows 7 not too boot but I have a back up with Active@Boot Disk via a Bootable USB

The seems like a power management thing. Have you set your system to prefer performance?

You need to unplug the other drives when installing Windows 11, otherwise this will happen. Once installed, plug your other drive back in and continue as normal. The arrogance of this aspect of microsoft is shown front and center in this instance as a prompt for input about other bootable drives is not made during setup. They just assume(moronically) that the OS being installed will be the primary OS and alters the boot records without asking. This of course causes a number of problems for other installed OSes, not just other versions of Windows. This problem has been a thing since the Windows 8 installer.

Simply unplug your other drive(s) while installing Windows prevents a number of problems so it's a good rule of thumb to follow.

 

[Splinterdog]

I completely agree with unplufgging other drives because I learned the hard way by accidentally formatting the wrong drive on one occasion which just happened to be a live Windows install

CPU-Z says things are running at top speed (2.83 GHz)

Hi,
Dude rk3066 was referring to installing large updates not clean installing though.

Who are you talking to? Please use the reply button, otherwise conversations get confusing.

EDIT:
Ah, I see the edit. Fair enough..

Weird.

Hi,

Yeah. I mean windows 10 do not do anything with my windows 7 SSD but 11 after the update killed my 7 drive unBootable so I in turn reinstall 7 but after everything set up I backed up

Though I remember installing 11 it did infact made my SSD 7 unBootable. Would it have to do with new boot process?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Edited

Got a new bios today lol
Most have been pulled for other z490 asus boards see if this one lives though the day

lol even x299 board got one

 

[lexluthermiester]

Got a new bios today

There is likely to be a lot of that happening in the coming months.

Hi,
Clean installing as said by at least two people already
Never leave other os's connected or really data disks either otherwise installation boot partitions will be installed on them.

Updating wise when 10 or 11 wanting to restart to finish install you have to use the boot menu to point to the right disk to reboot too usually otherwise default os selected in bios might interrupt booting to the os you want.

 

[theFOoL]

I find these updates an having to reboot just messes with the OS or say OS's if you will. At least I have plenty of back ups

Hi,

Yeah I'm in no hurry lol

 

[Rock N Roll Rebel]

so i wonder if they are going to update the beta channel this week? probably not,

 

[lexluthermiester]

Doesn't seem so..

 

[Splinterdog]

I've heard that Windows Insiders should now switch to the Beta channel. Is that the way to go?

 

[windwhirl]

I've heard that Windows Insiders should now switch to the Beta channel. Is that the way to go?

Depends. It will be a bit more stable, but you're probably not going to get any new features.

It's mostly a recommendation to switch now because once they resume Dev channel updates you'll have a hard time switching from that to Beta. So, users that want a slightly more stable Windows 11 experience should switch now, otherwise they will get stuck on Dev

 

[lexluthermiester]

Is that the way to go?

Yeah, it really is.

 

[Splinterdog]

Yeah, it really is.

Can't switch to beta (greyed out) because I have TPM disabled in the bios due to Win 11 not booting with it enabled, hence this message:


I feel like a hamster stuck in a wheel, so I'm going to try roll back to Win 10 and then join the insider beta with TPM enabled. If that doesn't work and since there's no beta ISO available to my knowledge, I'll clean install Win 10 again and wait until the smoke clears.

 

[GerKNG]

can i keep my windows 11 install now without reinstalling on launch?

 

[theFOoL]

Hmm maybe, maybe not. Don't know how M$ is playing this..
