HVCI

[uco73]

After switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11 I ran into a problem. My computer does not shut down and runs non-stop. However, I have noticed that every day the computer slows down when launching most applications. After restarting the problem disappears, but the next day the same problem is there. I deleted some drivers, updates and even some applications, thinking that the problem was with some of them. I was not able to fix the problem. I ended up deleting the C partition and reinstalling Windows 11. I didn't install any programs or apps and waited the next day to see if the same problem would be there. Was! I've been searching the internet for days and haven't found a solution. In the end it occurred to me to turn off memory integrity and thus turn off hyper-V completely. I restarted the computer and waited again the next day to see if the computer would slow down. And here is the solution! The computer slow down problem is gone so I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same or similar problem.

Here's the news. The problem was not with HVCI. The problem was in the file explorer, more precisely with WinRAR. I deleted WinRAR and now exclusively use 7-zip. Now slowness is no longer a problem for me.

WinRAR has been out of sight out of mind for YEARS now.
I haven't used it in over a decade and I'm sure it has something to do with the attitude shift in how we deal with and distribute compressed packages.
Win95 era was pretty much all WinZIP and WinACE.
Win98-2000 era was WinRAR.
WinXP-2003 era was more WinRAR and a bit of PeaZIP or IZArc for the few of us dealing with the original WinPE.
Vista-2008 was kind of the early mass adoption period of 7-Zip.
Win8-2012 is when I noticed less and less people using WinRAR, full 7-Zip adoption.
Win10-2019 WinRAR starts to get packaged with new motherboards as part of gamer distribution software, thanks out of touch boomers...
Win11-Azure Full 7-Zip desktop supremacy.

A lot of those earlier applications are likely falling out of favor on modern operating systems and while I keep distributions of like 99% of everything used in those older eras, I don't really go back and mess with them on newer stuff unless it's priceless software like Animation Shop, uTorrent or Wakan. Just like running antique games made for Win95 and the like from the Steam launcher, messing with them is a BAD idea. I don't do it. Introduction of new technologies like NX Bit and HVCI aren't going to play well with them either.

Rigth.

I used to have similar problems with WinRAR and chose to replace it with Peazip it supports just about every compression type I've seen including .Rar and .7z

I still use winrar but I completely understand why people would use 7-zip over it, given free vs. commercial.

 

[DaemonForce]

free vs. commercial.

Well that's the thing...Pretty sure a deal was struck with Asus and possibly others to provide a free build of WinRAR to customers through the Armoury Crate software.
I'm not turning it back on again to verify. It's annoying enough to see it auto-install itself in the form of an automatic Windows service.
Anyway if people are genuinely preferring one over the other and it's not because of missing features then that tells me everything I need to know.
The world has moved on from WinRAR. ✔

Not debating it just saying if you have a license and enjoy it no reason to not use it for personal archiving at least.

WinRAR's days are numbered, it seems. The world has moved on to 7-zip!

 

[iNinja9K]

Glad I'm not the only one who's moved on from WinRAR! 7-zip has been my go-to compression tool for years now.

I hope no, and never.

7z has not even what i'd call a GUI (first, it's UGLY... and can't even respond to next/prev by mouse side buttons.........................................................................), it's so bad to use and WRar is verry well intgrated in explorer.

To Do points to compare WR and 7Z:

WR = ...
7Z = ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Peazip is as good as winrar when it comes to explorer integration and is free

I have been strictly using 7-Zip for years now! It's been a long time since ever seeing 7-Zip report a RAR file being corrupted, which IIRC, was false, but I didn't run into that issue again for years.

Peazip? I was thinking that was the one with dependency issues that turned me away from it. Don't remember, though. That was years ago!

I've not struck any dependency issues with PeaZip and I've been using it for a few years now maybe early versions did but not any longer and it's updated regularly

Could you contact WinRAR and describe to them what happened on your PC to they fix this (possible) programming error?

IIRC, it had extraneous dependencies, which it shouldn't even have had. Internet Explorer, LOL!

I too am kind of having a hard time thinking winrar was related to the initial problem, but if it was, he should indeed reach out to them.
