Windows 11 General Discussion

Like I get all the sercuity mess but for those who just want to just use windows 11 without the whole you need this and that. What about us? As mentioned my system is running fine

Win11 is as stable as 10.
22000.160 is especially smooth, Granted.

I agree with you.
So far very happy with the build 22000.168

does anyone know how often the beta channel will get updates after the dev goes separate

Not really, but looking back at the history of Windows 10's beta channel, it seems that you get weekly or bi-weekly updates

 

[theFOoL]

I may go back and restore to 10 image and check for updates bc I think I missed one bc when I tried WINpass11 for Dev it kept giving error or just redoing the same thing. I'll check in later but let me know if ya can

well win 10 lasts until 2025/2026 so i mean at some point you will upgrade your computer before then right? so use win 10 until then.

the xxx.168 feels very smooth and quite "finished" for me. i had not to mod (except win defender) something. drivers are fine. and the software i run is working properly

so all in all i am not crying a single tear for the 10

 

[FireFox]

I downloaded the 22000.168 iso. got a new 970 for W11 so next week i will install it, however i will continue using the W11 i have on my 860 so i can test the new updates.
one important thing is to not make the same mistake like i did last time when i installed W11 for the first time, that is to disable the rest of the drivers so that the bootloader will not end on my main driver.

You know, I'm thinking that if they're gonna do that, might as well disable the capability to install unless you launch the setup using a special parameter, like

install.exe /nm

Hmm we shall see "Rabit"... We shall see but is that on the Final Release or

 

[plastiscɧ]

maybe M$ just realized that if they try to restrict people, people will still look for a way to realize their wishes and needs.
We are no longer in 1990.
no one wants to be told what to do anymore, which doesn't really make sense or at least doesn't serve a reasonable purpose.

There you go lexluthermiester

I'm not buying that on any level. I've been deliberately trying to make Win11 crash and I'm getting nothing. Credit where it's due, this is the most stable Windows Beta I've ever seen. Beyond a few minor glitches and bugs, Win11 is as stable as 10 IMHO. 22k.160 is especially smooth. Granted, some games and apps are running worse(lower FPS) in 11 than on 7 or 10(see video below), but I'm certain microsoft will sort those issues out.

It's just corperate speak for "don't bug us if it breaks."

 

[Metroid]

There was a new video on linus channel youtube, I hope microsoft changes many bs they changed before release.

To me it seems a compromise would work, where PC manufacturers would not be allowed the 'Windows 11' sticker without secure boot and TPM 2 each enabled, while allowing old machines to still run Windows 11.

And, don't forget, you can still get this WINpass11 on Major Geeks:

I love the statement made on that page for MajorGeeks!

Anyone reading this in the early release of Windows 11 knows that Microsoft requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. Then, they stopped updating their own app that checked if you could install Windows 11. The entire process is stupid; let's be honest. If you can run Windows 10, you should be able to run 11. The entire process has been embarrassing and pointless.

Well said folks! This is one of the reasons I love MajorGeeks!

Microsoft has said that machines that do not meet system requirements may not be eligible for updates, not even basic security updates.

I do manual updating anyway and as such couldn't care less.

It's just corperate speak for "don't bug us if it breaks."

I'm cool with that. I don't think I've called microsoft for support. Like ever.

Microsoft always manages to unsettle users.
Again and again, the M$lers manage to publish vague statements. The latest example for this are the announcements for Windows 11.

Everything was still okay with the hardware requirements that were published for the Windows 11 insiders in June. There some media, this announcement for the "final" version distributed, although these were only now really published. But that's when the chaos started. Microsoft has adjusted the hardware requirements (slightly) and many owners of older hardware in front of the head.

Then came the message that you can manually install Windows 11 on non-supported devices. This message was indirectly confirmed by Microsoft, as they reacted to it and let it be known that these devices will probably not receive any updates.
I had already written yesterday. Microsoft only wants to unsettle the users here. Zac Bowden also commented similarly on Twitter, "The fact that MS doesn't outright say "no" when asked tells me that it will probably work fine, and that MS is saying "maybe or maybe not" because the ambiguity is keeping people from even upgrading their "unsupported" PCs."

It's bad that a company like this can't manage to, instead of putting out a text that goes on for ages, succinctly state what's possible for supported devices and what problems might arise with non-supported devices.

Because many have already installed Windows 11 now. Even without being insiders and are now unsettled by such vague statements. Even those who have now been shunted off to the beta channel are certainly no better off. Especially the insiders, who have so far revealed many problems to Microsoft through the tests, which Microsoft was then able to fix, have a right to clear information on how things will continue.

Even if it certainly won't happen. For some, Windows 11 on old hardware and no automatic updates and drivers would be a dream operating system after all. No more tweaks would be necessary and you can decide for yourself when an update or driver is installed. But that certainly remains a dream.

I am having issues with Afterburner and Win11, I've created a profile then saved it and applied whilst the PC is on it works but if i restart or turn off and on the PC it won't apply the profile, i have to open Afterburner and apply it manually.
Any idea?

With the build 22000.168 thankfully the issue has been solved

Because of this, apparently:

Because it makes use of Mode Based Execution Control, HVCI works better with Intel Kaby Lake or AMD Zen 2 CPUs and newer. Processors without MBEC will rely on an emulation of this feature, called Restricted User Mode, which has a bigger impact on performance.

I downloaded the 22000.168 iso

Where did you download the .168 ISO from bro?

On the Windows insider I'm only seeing .132 ISO?

Or, maybe someone else knows where to download the latest version?
