Windows 11 General Discussion

Every update start from scratch it's a pita.

True! It is a PITA. But I do it not only to avoid glitches and bugs caused by mal-configured updates but also so I can see the performance & benchmarks based on fresh install to fresh install. I've learned not to trust updates from microsoft. That will not change until they learn how to get things right. It's been 20 years and they're still screwing things up.

Agreed on most points. Though updates being screwy is a more recent thing, thanks to Mr. Nadella for firing a sizable part of the QA team some time previous to W10 launch...

Install the non-DCH drivers. The control panel will work as expected.

Hi,
Why pay people to do what others will do for free.

The difference is that the standard driver comes with the control panel, which is the correct way of doing things. The DCH drivers require you to install the control panel app from the Windows Store, which is a deeply stupid way of doing things..

seems like the weird unsupported AMD driver is gone. works perfectly fine, does not auto update to any crap and RDR2 does not crash either.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Still does not work Edit scrub that, it is now

Professor Barnatt made a lot of good points!

So anyone with Intel CPU laptop without dGPU cares to verify if this is still happening in W11?

dwm.exe (Desktop Window Manager) Produces a Memory Leak with Drivers...

Describes an issue where drivers newer than 24.20.100.6290 are causing dwm.exe (Desktop Windows Manager) to produce memory leaks.

www.intel.com

Basically your Desktop Window Manager service will generate a memory leak and start to consume gigabytes of ram. I see this on my work laptop (8xxx series) and wonder if MS even attempted to fix it in 11.

This is an Intel driver problem and it is their responsibility to fix. The involvement of microsoft is not required or should be expected. As for Win11, I don't have any systems with the UHD630 so I can't test. However, rolling back to a previous driver should solve your problem as it would seem the memory leak affects only driver packs newer than 27.20.100.8587.

dunno if this has been posted before, good app to remove some of the bloat from 11 and some other nifty features

Features​

I have started a new project with ThisIsWin11 two weeks ago which was dedicated exclusively to getting to know Windows 11. The app has left yesterday the preview status and is now slowly expanded as a practical all-rounder for Windows 11, similar to Microsoft PowerToys.

The app currently offers five modules:

• Presenter: The start screen guides you through an pictured introduction to the new operating system Windows 11 and allows you quickly to configure it.
• PumpedApp: This module allows you checking and optimizing Windows 11 configuration among other things (all changes made can also be undone)
• Kickassbloat will help you removing pre-installed Windows 11 apps
• Packages is there for you to quickly install one or the other app
• PowerClicks allows you automating several Windows 11 tasks based on PowerShell and community scripts.

If you know my previous apps for Windows 10 (Privatezilla, Bloatbox etc.) then you will see that ThisIsWin11 app combines the best of these apps under one interface but on Win11.

An internet connection is required to use the app.

Let us all know when the internet is not required. I never let Windows online until AFTER it's properly configured and secured. This utility is useless in that context.

No worries. It's useful while online, but I'm the ultra cautious type and believe Windows has no business being allowed online until "boxed in and tied down".

I do the same that was the trick to get around local acounts under windows 10
A part of me wonders if a win 10 with local acounts going to 11 will get to keep local

Installing WIN11Go with help of WiNtoUSB! On a SD card PNY 64GB. On a SD card Adapter Transend. Downloading updates now on my 5G yet only slow ISP at DL speed 950kb

Local account generation will still be possible in Win11. You can bet on it. It would seem microsoft is pissing off a lot of people with all of these asinine requirements. My guess is they're going to get a smack down soon. The EU certainly isn't going to tolerate this crap and if they have any sense the US won't either.

NGL, I have doubts about that, since the Chromebook has required a Google account for quite a while now and nothing has happened.

Chromebooks are not desktop/laptop market dominant OS, that's the difference. By way of comparison, Android does not and it is the market dominant mobile OS.
