Windows 11 General Discussion

[theFOoL]

Hmm I remember installing off brand drivers for my ATI card at the time "Can't remember the name" but was BSOD after BSOD

 

[freeagent]

Reminds me of old skool versions of Windows, where I had to reformat and reinstall Windows! Including a crash, possibly even after uninstalling the 3rd party video driver before changing the video card.

Ahh the good old days, kinda miss them kinda don’t..

It's a fantastic repair feature for windows 8/10/11 - as it installs a new OS, undoes errors, corruption, and dumb user changes - but leaves files, programs and user content alone.

Oh, you're talking about a repair install through install media. I've done plenty of those, and they work about 95% of the time.

Ahh the good old days, kinda miss them kinda don’t..

Right there with you.

I might be overlooking it. What doesn't seem right?

Cache benchmark, it's the same story on my system, irregular results but game performance seems unaffected so I'm not really bothered

Microsoft is blocking users from circumventing Edge browser links in Windows 11

Another potential reason to hold off upgrading.

This problem is completely negated if you remove(delete/uninstall) Edge.

BTW, screw you on this one microsoft.

I don't have W11 installed but if it is like W10 you can't unistall it, at least not normally like other apps. Sure there are always ways, but most people don't know about them.

I have removed edge, have chrome set as default. that article is saying, if win gets a call for edge, you get a blank window? instead of it opening edge. Well i can't say i have had any blank windows pop up, so maybe completely removing it does indeed do the trick

You need a utility to help do so, but it is easily done. OpenShell has a function to do so, as does CCleaner.

@lexluthermiester
Would this work? if not how did you completely uninstall it?

It does.

No. I've tried that. It's one of the very few packages that can be removed. It works on Edge, but system and startmenu links will remain. They just won't do anything. It's best to use custom ISO's to install Windows, but these methods are good for situation where that is not an easy to use a custom ISO.

Is there a way i can scrub it from my system without a reinstall?

Sure, but i don't think you got my point. It's a shitty move because MS knows full well that 90% will never go search/know what to search/care to search.
That's how i read the article too, this is another push from them to get more people to use their browser, after that fiasco some years ago with the EU and the fines.

There also those "you aren't using the recomended web browsing tool" or whatever the BS they put even on W10.

Anyway kind of sidetracking the topic, sorry about that

 

[lexluthermiester]

Not really. Or at least not that I know of. Fresh install with customized ISO is required as far as I know.

Is TPM really Treacherous Computing? Whose agenda is being followed?
I've always wandered if it was just a smoke screen and never believed for a minute that TPM is supposed to make us more secure.

The Sinister Truth About TPM? | Daves Computer Tips

Microsoft surprised (shocked?) a lot of people when announcing the requirements for Windows 11, not the least of which was the requirement for TPM (Trusted Platform Module). TPM is an obscure security…

davescomputertips.com

I already threw that out there when the requirements were first made public and that notion was as well received as random babble from a tin foil hat wearing individual. What people don't realize is that this even has the potential to circumvent VPNs, and other current methods used to obfuscate a user's identity online.

 

[outpt]

Long time before I put this crap system again on my machine.

 

[Timelessest]

I installed Windows 11 a few days ago and so far my experience has been very good. Only annoying thing was the snipping tool not working, but that's working fine now. I do have a Windows 10 installed just in case Microsoft screws me over

Anybody care to look into my issue if any of you have had a similar one?

"I have been with youtube issues lately, but I think it might be windows 11 update .net not nvidia geforce drivers, for what is worth, will update to this drivers just in case.
Edge works without any problem on youtube, then if you install chrome, chrome will not work on youtube, however if you install firefox, chrome will work on youtube, firefox will not. On firefox connection says 51kbps buffer health dead, on edge connection is at 100.000 kbps on chrome too. If i uninstall firefox then chrome will have that same firefox issue, 51kbps and dead buffer. On edge videos are loaded, if I instal chrome, chrome will not load videos but will keep trying to load but it never does, if i install firefox, chrome will load videos without issues but firefox will not load at all, I believe this is windows 11 issue, messy."

Anyway, firefox stopped loading videos after an update, before the update, everything was all right, .net update I think, but when I deleted the update, issue was still there, i guess it messed up something up there. Funny part is even after a clean install, youtube videos would not load on firefox. I wonder if the issue is on firefox part. Tried everything, turning off the firewall did not help, removing windows auto proxy did not help, changing connections without proxy or with proxy did not help either.

My mobile and other computers in my house work without any issues on youtube, mobile is android, computers are windows 10, so not a router or isp issue here either..

I haven't seen any problems like what you just described. Nothing even close.

Anyone else?

Plus 1 x gtx 1070 and 2 x 3080, nvme 1tb. All windows 11 updated installed. I guess ping to google's youtube video library is not working as should be, something is blocking it on firefox or something is blocking on windows 11. Although I must point it out, youtube page load is very fast on firefox, only issue is not loading the videos, it keeps trying to load but it never loads, interesting issue.

I tried looking at the internet for similar issues and could not find any, plus too many youtube issue post spams over the years make hard to find if somebody is going through the same issue right now, usually forums have recent issues but could not find either.

@Metroid Did update the AMD chipset driver and BIOS? It could be your firewall/anti virus. I am using windows defender and latest BIOS with AGESA 1.2.0.3c.

Yes, I disabled the firewall and windows defender and everything was still the same. I dont know what to do anymore, I used to use firefox, now I'm using chrome for the time being.
