Windows 11 General Discussion

LifeOnMars · Nov 3, 2021

@freeagent Same on my 3600, no stability in the numbers on Windows 11. On 10 I can hit the expected numbers every time. Something still not right with this "fix" for some users. Gone back to 10 for the time being. I also suffered with performance loss and stutters on 11 in some titles. 10 is still silky smooth for me.

Windows 11 hit by another bug as Microsoft’s File Explorer nightmare gets worse (msn.com)

You know you're f#@$ing up when MSN calls W11 bug a nightmare.

Yep. I Just use ExplorerPatcher and get the old context menus.

I still think Windows 11 is wonderful, and I'm running it on a Core 2

xrobwx71 · Nov 3, 2021

I just got done installing Win 11 on my home PC. So far, all is fine.

The path I took was: I navigated to here and utilized the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. It went smooth and took about 20 minutes from the initial click to a usable Win 11 Desktop.

I did have to initiate a network troubleshooting (from the ethernet adapter itself)wizard to fix a problem with the ethernet driver. After the install of Win 11, I had no internet. I noticed it was switched to a Public network, I ran the troubleshooting wizard and it switched it back to Private Network which fixed my internet connection.

I'm not having any issues with the new Taskbar. I like it.

The rounded edges of the U.I., the font, and the window that pops up in the middle when you click the Start button or hit the Windows key make me think of Ubuntu. I'm not saying it's like Ubuntu, it just has a "feel".

Update: I tried to open Outlook and received an error message that Office needed to be repaired. I opened the Control Panel and right-clicked on Microsoft 365 and chose change, then chose repair. After the repair was finished, I was able to open Outlook as before.

Update: Every time I reboot, I have no internet. Going through the Control Panel>Change Adapter Settings>Right clicking on connected Adapter>clicking Diagnose, would fix it.

This was a P.I.T.A. so, I found a solution:
Open an elevated command prompt and run these commands separately, after each command hit enter. To open an elevated command, hit the Start button, type cmd, then CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (an elevated command prompt should open)

Code:
ipconfig /release

Code:
netsh int ip reset

Code:
ipconfig /flushdns

Code:
ipconfig /renew

Restart your PC.

This fixed the issue for me.

I would call it an In-Place Upgrade. Definitely not a clean install.

I went here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

and used the Windows 11 Installation Assistant path.

I have not seen this at all. I wonder what is causing it?

I think they're blowing it out of proportion.

If the problem persists you may wish to fresh install, backing up all your files first. There have been a number of various upgrade related problems. Fresh installs solve them.

That file explorer bug sounds like a dev branch bug

Bomby569 · Nov 4, 2021

Keep beta testing it, when it's good and ready i will do the upgrade.

W10 is such a great platform, they should have just keep it and improving on it, what a waste of time and money.

Latest dev build managed to brake something you could not ever imagine...

We are whining about AMD L3 cache etc...

Those monkeys broke the Numlock/Caps Lock keyboard light. When pressed it gets stuck and doesn't toggle... imagine how on earth you could brake that piece of code...

I think it shows they are digging deep and it is not just a façade on Windows 10

If this is the end result of digging deep by Microsoft, someone should take their shovel away.

theFOoL · Nov 4, 2021

It's called Dev for a reason... Things will be broken, misplaced, or just awkward rearranged. Deal with it or stop testing

Like when I see images in the explorer UI have stuck images... I just restart or I figure it out for a fix

Mine is broken still.. that 229 moves around. Could be write or copy. Dammit Asus, AMD, whoever

Virtualization was disabled so idkwtf.

Its like when Apple downclocks your SOC.. great, thanks..

Wait.. I upgraded from 10.. not a clean install because I like it dirty. Should I try a clean install? Cleanliness is godliness right?

Edit:

Forgot the screen cap

If your existing install is solid, don't bother with clean installing. Both L3 bandwidth and latency are still all over the place, I don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon. I clean installed 11 twice, once from the initial build upgraded to 282, then straight to 282 once it became part of the main branch. Also had a 10>11 upgrade, no difference between any of the three installs, fully patched through 282 and newest chipset drivers, no additional virtualization protections

If you need to bench, make a small partition with Win 10 (if it's a microsoft account tied key, it will activate on multiple installations on the same PC) on the same drive or different drive, and dual boot 10 whwn you need to. You can set the default boot option on the dualboot screen. Win 10 is still consistent, seems that 5900X on Win 11 is a lottery every run of AIDA

freeagent · Nov 4, 2021

Thank you sir, I am going to do a second partition later this evening. I also passed on the new version of Aida.. a bit pricey. Looks like they saw how much fun we were having and decided to capitalize.

Keep in mind though, this is a General Windows 11 Discussion thread. It started with the Beta but is meant to be ongoing through the mainstream lifespan of the OS.
