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.

That's either a driver bug, or a (vaguely) monitor one - changing between fullscreen and borderless windowed for example

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?

I don't think I've ever seen it at work. Also, I imagine people with domain controllers and the like would probably set up WSUS (or whatever name it's called) instead of that.

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.

Hi,
Best thing to do is create a system image and upgrade and see for your self.
If you don't like it "and at first look" you likely wont it is a very weird oobe and for myself 11 needs a lot of changes to get fairly decent.
Hell this is an easy list to help ease the pain of win-11 first encounter :laugh:

Our IT guy at work has been running 11Pro on his AMD PC's since it came out and likes it over 10. He has no issues with it and pushed me to run it on my new intel build, which I am glad that I did, and find it is faster and seems just as stable as 10 is. The UI gets some used to getting too, but once you get the feel for it, it's not that bad.

I would try it and if you do not like it, you could always revert back to 10.

Space Lynx · Jan 14, 2023

yeah Win 11 is the way to go really.

Mussels · Jan 15, 2023

The best summary is that 11 has had two major problems with AMD CPU's in it's lifetime, that were both patched fairly fast - but news articles about them are often posted AFTER the fix has gone live, and stay online forever

This often gives a lot of negativity the OS doesnt deserve, but it's ragebait that makes ad revenue so it'll never stop (And it'll happen about all tech, everywhere)

Anyone else having a broken Weather app? I tried to reset and to reinstall it, it didn't help...

Hi,
Yep pretty bad if it's raining in the app :laugh:

Nope, app works fine for me. EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you mean, there are no details of the temperatures for the next days, just the min-max. App has not been updated in the last couple of days, so it might be an issue from the weather data provider.

Ah, so the same issue.. Ok.

Well I hope they fix it soon then.. :ohwell:

I'll second this statement. For all it's quirks, it's been a joy, once properly configured.

Do you have a .wim or some other way you can share your configuration? It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I knew WinOS like the back of my hand.

Anyone running Win11 Ent on a personal box?

Yes. It's just pro (literally the same service image is deployed) with some additional grouppolicy keys enabled.

True for both 10 and 11.

I have only ever had success with WSUS, but that's a maintenance nightmare for a home user.

I don't. All the configurations I do are post stock install.

Fixed on my end too. Probably a problem with the weather data provider since MS Store doesn't list any recent updates of the app.

I'm really surprised M$ doesn't advertise in the weather app... it's probably coming someday knowing them...

I tried using weather.com (an IBM company) without Ublock Origin one time... it was a nightmare. with ublock origin, its actually a nice simple way to check the weather lol

Ok I use uBlock Origin among others, but I really like the simple weather app!

Hi,
Since I use a few sites for local weather "also read site paper anyway" I don't believe one app would suffice or worth the app streaming.

Add Microsoft account to Local account for Hybrid account in Windows 11

A Microsoft account (MSA) is a good choice if a user wants to use the same account on multiple devices, or wants to make it easy to use all / any Microsoft services. Setting up a preinstalled Windows 10 on a new device, after a clean install, or creating a new user on existing Windows...

I am running a bone stock upgrade from 10. Its running ok.. With 22H2 I really dislike the forced network connection. I did the upgrade so I didn't have to use a PIN. Ugh.

I don't really use them. It mostly keeps me up to date on the current temperature outside and it also changes the icon when stocks I have favved like ages ago on the Money app go up or down but it's mostly useless since I get my news elsewhere and my investments are not in specific company stocks... Have a free thumbnail though

Hi,
Yeah I just mount 22h2 after rufus removes the required crap tad faster than waiting for ms servers to download the updates/...

Still need to do x99 rig.
