This is my second 970 EVO PLUS, and yes it's new.

Mods at Reddit have removed that post. It seems like it was a false alarm or maybe a prank.
No no, it was real, saw a lot of people crying about it :laugh:

then I must / would like to apologize for the inconvenience! however, your, absolutely good, EVO plus is a GEN3 hard drive. and that what I had cooked up at the time only works if you turn on GEN4 completely, at the price of "sacrificing" the GEN3.
perhaps I have expressed that in the translation unclean or it did not come across correctly.
I am often on the road with a translator who translates perfectly but my writing is often a bit mysterious to him because I often write in dialect and omit syllables or do not always consider the grammar correctly so that he can work properly with it

The 22000.176 has no watermark.
What is the difference between the 2200.176 and the 22449.1000 version ?
They have the same date...

They're both different channels. 22000 will be the launch version of Windows 11,while 22449 is decoupled from Windows 11 and will be in constant development, with some features later making their way to mainstream Windows 11 or not.

i think after 10 years of running win10 they had to come up with something "new".
Because as long as the other systems (except 8) have also had their lifespan.
I suspect at least

you have to give credit to the 11, that with half of the files a more fluid general feeling has come about. but new brushes sweep well....

Than what is the best build to use now.
The 22000.176 or the 22449.1000.
Has one of the two better features or more stability ?

Actually, right now the best one to use is the 22000.168 build. 22000.176 has a serious glitch and 22449.1000 is the dev build not the Windows 11 beta. You want to avoid that one.

Wow. the dead 11 build was because of a faulty ad injection.

Microsoft reportedly broke Windows 11 by injecting ads (xda-developers.com)
Looks like they published a fix;
First of all, Microsoft did publish a fix. If your PC is in an unusable state and you’re reading this in an effort to get out of it, this is what you need to do:

  • Step 1: Use CTRL-ALT-DEL and choose to open Task Manager.
  • Step 2: Choose “More details” at the bottom of Task Manager to expand Task Manager.
  • Step 3: Go to “File” and choose “Run new task”.
  • Step 4: Type “cmd” in the “Open” field.
  • Step 5: Paste the following (everything in bold):
    reg delete HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\IrisService /f && shutdown -r -t 0
  • Step 6: Hit enter, and then your PC should reboot. After rebooting, everything should be back to normal.
However, I'm going to stick to my earlier recommendation to skip 22000.176 for now.

22000.176 runs fine on my pc, so that is the best way to go ?
If the taskbar/start menu begins to glitch or give you trouble, use the above registry edit to fix it.

Wow. the dead 11 build was because of a faulty ad injection.

Microsoft reportedly broke Windows 11 by injecting ads (xda-developers.com)

I think they're half-right half-wrong. The ad so to speak is Teams integration with the Windows shell. Teams is integrated into the Start Menu/Taskbar, hence why it could affect the system that bad. Though an error like that should have never made it into the build.

So, yeah. Not an ad in the traditional sense, and I feel like it's the wrong word to use in this context. Then again, I can't come up with a better one, so it might as well be that.

Also, assuming 22000.176 is "post-RTM" when W11 isn't launched yet. Nobody outside of Microsoft knows what W11 build will ship to current Windows 10 users that get to upgrade to W11 on October 5, nor when will OEMs switch to installing W11 instead of 10 on new computers and what build they'll use.

Hell, I'd argue no one in Microsoft knows either.
22000.176 runs fine on my pc, so that is the best way to go ?
Beta channel is better if you want a modicum of stability. Dev may have extra features (right now, it really doesn't), but less stability.

Promotion? I think that's as close as we can get without us the word ad. That is what they're doing, promoting their Teams app.
Though an error like that should have never made it into the build.
Agreed, that might have been a last-minute addition to the build before going live. Clearly it needed more testing.

Hell, I'd argue no one in Microsoft knows either.
Very likely except for the final built teams.

Hi, fellas. :)

My question is relevant both to Windows 10 and 11, so I thought opening another thread for just one question was pointless.

So: how resource-intensive are the different versions (Home, Pro and the rest)? I've got a very basic Intel Compute Stick with an Atom x5 CPU and 2 GB RAM. Even the CPU is weak as hell, but with the GPU's hardware acceleration, it's actually alright for watching films. My bigger problem is the 2 GB RAM which gets full even with no programs open. Do you guys think I could shave RAM usage down a bit by installing Win 10/11 Home instead of Pro on it?

Hi, fellas. :)

My question is relevant both to Windows 10 and 11, so I thought opening another thread for just one question was pointless.

So: how resource-intensive are the different versions (Home, Pro and the rest)? I've got a very basic Intel Compute Stick with an Atom x5 CPU and 2 GB RAM. Even the CPU is weak as hell, but with the GPU's hardware acceleration, it's actually alright for watching films. My bigger problem is the 2 GB RAM which gets full even with no programs open. Do you guys think I could shave RAM usage down a bit by installing Win 10/11 Home instead of Pro on it?
That's one rare device. But with just 2 GB of RAM... That sucks.

Is it really necessary to use W10/11? Why not 7, it is lighter on resources.
