Windows 11 General Discussion

[FireFox]

Maybe. It could also be the fact that this is NVidia's first go at Windows 11 specific drivers and they might have a minor issue to fix

Still odd is the fact that i don't have any issues on build 22000.168.
Anyway, it is not a big deal, the final build is around the corner.

Have you tested the new drivers on that built? I wonder if the glitch is present in that build as well?

True.

There will be no more updates for windows 11 22000.194 is the last one tell release date according to this video
(987) Windows Insiders in Release preview with compatible PCs getting Windows 11 build 22000.194 - YouTube

Ok, it looks like this was correct after all. Not super surprising with the release about a week away.

Now you're insulting me Joke
Yes, i have the 472.12 driver installed on that built, 0 issues

 

[theFOoL]

Hmm I See that windows update actually DL it's driver's even though I installed from nVidia but no issues as of yet

Ok. I thought you were doing as I have been, testing each build progressively and that you were reminiscing about 168.

I've been running 22000.194 for a few days now, clean install and no issues whatsoever. OS operations seem slick and fast, games are all performing the same with Nvidia Driver 472.12 and drivers all fully updated. It seems like a W10 reskin but the one major thing I have noticed different is that so far (touches wood) I have not had the Standby Memory issue that I have been constantly fighting on W10. All in all I'll stick with it now and hope that improvements in the future will pull it further ahead of 10.

I am running two copies of W11, first copy on a Samsung 850 with the build 168 installed and never updated further because as i already mentioned in one of my previous posts it's the most stable, the second copy is the one I've been updating everytime there is a new build.

If I had one complaint is you can no longer right click taskbar and select Task Manager..lol You can right click the start button or if it's even called that any more.. lol The windows button? I have new young employees that call me and I say click the start button.. and they are like what start button.. lol I guess it's still Start because you can hover over it and you get a callout that says "start". Even with this I am still enjoying Windows 11.

EDIT: I have added the Task Manager shortcut to the taskbar as well.. lol I know we can still do the 3 finger salute..lol

This was one of the biggest irritants to me for the 2 days I messed with a Win 11 build. Maybe Microsoft's telemetry told them that @Mindweaver and myself were the only two people who accessed the Task Manager by right-click, but I somehow doubt that.

I personally think the Win 10 Task Manager is the best process manger/info center offering between Windows, Mac, or Linux. By all means Microsoft, make it more difficult to access one of the things you got right.

Yeah I feel they took a step back by removing those shortcuts.. I mean everything else so far feels great. I even prefer the new "settings" app/menu. I do still prefer the Win 10 21h2 start menu.

EDIT: I still need to use the new Start "pinned" part of the new start button. I'm still purging all of the recommendations..

They actually seemed to take the feedback from the Windows 8 UI disaster when designing 10. It's like they've completely forgotten about that, and are working their way back to more ads and widgets that just get in the way of using the PC.

Also, the non-movable task bar is a no-go for me. I always have my personal machine's task bar at the top. Don't know why, it just works better for me.

Yeah I don't know why they only give you the option of left or center. I tried center for a day and it drove me crazy.. lol

EDIT: I already had windows terminal installed on Windows 10 from the app store, but it feels like it's in the build now. Can someone who didn't have it installed can you go to search and type terminal to see if Windows Terminal pops up?

 

[FireFox]

Another thing to add is the taskbar size, you need to edit the registry to change the size of the taskbar, unacceptable.

BTW has anyone compared performance differences between windows 10 and 11? A comparison would be interesting. Does Windows boot faster, direct storage loads games faster, etc?

I honestly wouldn't even see the reason until its RTM. Preliminary just fluctuates too much. At this stage normal windows updates still give the build entire features.

 

[FireFox]

What about W11 dual boot, will it be supported?

Yes I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be supported.

Nobody knows.
I would expect anything from them.

No, but it's close by. Right-click the Start Button and the task manager is in the menu that comes up. All they did was move it.

BTW has anyone compared performance differences between windows 10 and 11? A comparison would be interesting.

Yes, the differences are margin of error type results. Nothing worth mentioning.

Does Windows boot faster

A little bit, not by much though.

direct storage loads games faster, etc?

That function has to be written into the game itself. Older games will are not coded for it so there will be no difference for them.

I honestly wouldn't even see the reason until its RTM. Preliminary just fluctuates too much.

The testing I've been doing shows a more or less stead state of performance which is on par with 10.

Yes I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be supported.

Not sure with SecureBoot enabled. It might not be possible or easy, haven't tested yet though. With it bypassed however, it's business as usual.

Tbh if dual boot isn't supported i would be pretty happy

Did you read my next sentence? I said, "You can right click the start button". lol But to be honest muscle memory has me do it without thinking.. lol but I'll get use to it.

Forgot to answer, yes it pops up

Sorry, I speed read. Didn't see that you mentioned you found it. :shrugs:

No problem.. I do it too.. Hell I had to go back and re-read it.. haha

Leftclick on start button and type taskmanager. Than you see the taskmanager app. Rightclick on taskmanager app and add it to the taskbar.
Simpel...
