"showing the seconds" setting for the clock at the taskbar did not make it beyond insider builds it seems....

Just use the ep for time being...

Hi,
Win-11 like app Swiss cheese

22H2 or 22H1? I have two essentially identical PC's for my two Alder Lake rigs. The only difference between them is one has a 12700K with a RX 6900 XT and the other has a 12600K with a RX 6800 XT. The 12700K was an earlier build and Win 11 Pro 22H1 was used, the 12600K got 22H2. I do like the changes in 22H2 but am undecided as to doing the "upgrade" on the 22H1 rig. Are there any real performance advantages to either version?

I installed the Patch Tuesday package on both this afternoon and it fux0red up less things on the 22H2 PC. I use the AMD Pro 2022 Q4 drivers on both and the patches turned off HDR10 on the 22H1 rig. I had to reinstall the GPU drivers as a remedy. Windows wouldn't let me re-enable HDR10 without doing that.

The later 12600K appears to be a better piece of silicon than the early 12700K. It runs cooler and OC's better. I'm contemplating replacing the 12700K with a 13600K soon.

It's actually not as important as you might think. For many, yes. But for anyone who runs in an actual secure config, there are only 3 problems to be concerned with and all three are defeated by blocking the effected with a firewall.

My main W11Pro rig behaved well the past 20 days....

I found out today Malwarebytes on Windows 11 is hardcore as fuck. For some reason it decided to block me launching 3dmark from Steam. Never had any issues before this patch though, and had Malwarebytes installed then too. Weird.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I haven't done 11 updates yet I don't think but steam still throws an error attempting to open 3dmark it says it can't update 3dmark
Mbam pro doesn't show it's blocking it so Ill assume it's waiting fop 11 to update ?

 

[Space Lynx]

Ah... well its good to know its not just me having issues with 3dMark. I am just going to uninstall it and forget about it for now.

Long list so which three are you talking about
Just off the list 3dbuilder/ office/ remote access/ bitlocker :/

 

[lexluthermiester]

Nope, that's not it. There's something wrong. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3DMark?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Nope I'm sort of done with 3dmark I'm not benchmarking anymore so I may just get rid of it and not reinstall.

 

[Space Lynx]

I've used 3D Mark on 3 different systems, 20x over last few months, this is the first time it has given me issues. So, I think it is directly related to the most recent Win 11 patch.

If anyone here wants to download 3DMark and Malware bytes, and launch 3DMark from Steam - feel free to do so and update me if it runs fine for you or if it says "exploit blocked"... very weird.

Actually, I was able to narrow that down to just one. Windows Kernel. I'm not affected by the rest of the problems.

On my system, only BitLocker is present and it's hard code disabled.

That might be an assumption. I don't want to sound like I'm defending microsoft, but this latest update seems to have been very smooth. You could roll it back and see what happens.

Hi,
That sure wasn't the error I got and mbam pro showed no blocking popup I checked the logs and nothing showed for this app time.
Ouch I just flipped to mobile view lol

actually I just thought of something, I do have Malwarebytes settings set on like max - including the advanced algorithmn setting turned to on, that comes off by default... so going to set malwarebytes back to default then try it... but the thing is, 3dmark has worked with it on in the past... so I don't know. weird

Anyone running Win11 Ent on a personal box? Recommended? Or would Win10 Ent be a better option for a low-drama experience?

Just curious. Building a new PC and may perhaps put WinOS on it as a second option. (Background: WinOS desktop admin long ago. Not done that professionally for quite some time now (that’s gloriously delegated elsewhere in my professional life) and have been running exclusively Linux on personal machines since around that time.)

Reminds me of socket 462 chips, where later T'breds seem to reach higher clock speeds. Even when in my case, the newer one seemed to possibly have been running hotter.

Memory lane: Seemed like the ones from '02-week 15 of '03, suck!
I tested an Athlon XP 2400+ 0315 or 0310 (AIUHB?) and it sucked, compared to my Athlon XP 2400+ KIXJB 0415.

Wait, I'm on Build 25267 and my start looks like this:

So it's gonna look like this in Build 26276:

Nah, I'm not gonna update for this.


This seems to work in Win 11 too:

Question

Has any of you nutters in any of your weird LAN setups with servers and domain controllers and whatnot, ever EVER managed to get windows to do updates locally over the network

It's been in 10 since launch, and even googling i'm yet to find a single report of it ever actually working

I've got the second fastest internet of the aussies i know and it's a mere 50Mb connection, we need this crap - and it doesnt work?


found this article on it i havent read yet, but if you google microsofts articles it's meant to "just work" yet clearly does not
Using Windows Update Delivery Optimization in Local Networks | Windows OS Hub (woshub.com)

Even in their bigass article on how to enable it, THEIR OWN EXAMPLES SHOW IT DIDNT WORK

Kinda late in the game, but I'm thinking of going Win11 Home/Pro for my main rig, and my soon to be built2nd rig (in System Specs profile), the really big question I have is, has all issues concerning AMD, both CPU and GPU related, been resolved? IF not all, then most would do just fine as well.

I'm concerned with mostly gaming issues as my rigs are just for games. I'm also using a Legion 5 Pro which came with Win10, I've since gone Win11, but this is an R7 5800H + RTX 3070 laptop, I'm more concerned with all AMD builds like my two desktops.

I have had two rigs all AMD on Win 11 now in recent weeks, its been a great experience. My performance exceeds Win 10 performance.

Only issue I have run into is when someone links me a youtube video in Steam chat, my screen will flicker and the typing in chat gets a little messed up, but as soon as I hit "hide video" steam goes back to normal. It's a bit annoying, but not end of world, and I can still watch the video just fine before I have to minimize it within chat.

I was able to get 3Dmark working btw for the rest of you in this forum, regarding my previous posts, it was because I had hardcore settings turned on in Malwarebytes. Had to put them back at defaults.
