I've noticed my scroll wheel on my mouse, when I click on the speaker button at the bottom, won't increase or decrease the volume, so I've just be using my volume control on my keyboard. If I click on the "slider" highlight ring, it will work then, I can scroll volume up or down, could just be my mouse, but it works great in 10.

Anyone noticed higher frame rates or lower latency in games? Supposedly it’s the reworked thread scheduler.

Is that what you've seen/feel with W11?

Booted up, my ASS is fine today, windows security was all fine.

I've noticed my scroll wheel on my mouse, when I click on the speaker button at the bottom, won't increase or decrease the volume, so I've just be using my volume control on my keyboard. If I click on the "slider" highlight ring, it will work then, I can scroll volume up or down, could just be my mouse, but it works great in 10.

Mine works fine.

Anyone tried this tool for installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware in a one click installer?

Release WinPass11: Auto Release 1 [v0.1.0] · winbyte-devs/WinPass11 · GitHub

This is what i used too, very easy, no problems.

Try to remember this is prerelease software. It's going to have problems. Don't assume it's a deliberate act by microsoft.
They expect too much from a Beta version.

Hi,
But it is a deliberate act and they say as much, "you must have internet so ms can install drivers" for 10 home users
MS account too but as you noticed I commented about drivers.

Only hope is they don't extend having internet for pro users too for both driver install and ms account linking.
5 more months and we shall see pretty much why I don't bother anymore with insider nonsense.

I think you're misunderstanding something. The update feature obviously requires internet connection to work. Drivers are also delivered through Windows Update.

Hence the internet connection requirement. And before you think it's stupid to make an statement about something so obvious, there are people stupid enough to go make a lawsuit about how it was not mentioned.

It also ties in with the MS account requirement, but although I personally don't have any complaints about it (I use the account since I have a 365 subscription), I can understand that people may not like the idea.

Hi,
Having an iso already during either mounting of it "which I usually do" or clean installing with it on usb/... makes windows updating unnecessary even the iso has a drivers store

Only time internet would be needed is if someone were using the update system to actually go to another build like 11, now this is the only obvious time internet would be required lol

Yeah I'd never use a ms account unless I was still an insider which I dropped out years ago.

You missed a bit of context. MrBill was stating that 11 didn't seem to like his Logitech mouse as he was having issues with 11 understanding the input he was giving. This is not a driver problem, this is a Windows problem and to be expected with prerelease software.

Internet connections and driver downloads are not the issue there.

Hi,
Not really
Since ms came out with mouse and keyboard center feature they've screwed those two devices functioning properly

That crappy software on win-7 was totally removing my laptops driver that controls touchpad/.... adjustments if installed automatically just by using a mouse
On 10 & 11 that crapware is bundled lol

There are a few glitches to work out still. For example, I was editing services in the management console and after exiting a service dialog window I then couldn't select it or the other services around it. Literally couldn't click on them, but after clicking down a few and then back up a few times, I could select them again. It's an annoying glitch that has to do with the way the OS is interpreting inputs given by the user. MrBill's issue is very likely along the same lines. microsoft has no choice but to sort that one out.. Which will likely be in release 22000.83(?), maybe...

I have a weird problem.
Joined the Insider Program and since I'm working on a new NVMe with a fresh Win 10 install, there wouldn't be much to worry about, so I enabled TPM 2.0 and hit the update button.
Windows 11 started just fine and after a bit of poking around, I restarted just to see how things were and was presented with this:
recovery-win11 (Medium).jpg

None of the recovery options in the list worked at all and once I had set to UEFI to load defaults, everything came back to normal, but I didn't know what had changed.
I then did a tpm.msc in 'run' and found that TPM was disabled, so I went back to the UEFI, enabled TPM and was hit with the same error.
That's weird, considering Win 11 shouldn't run without TPM, or maybe that's just... WON'T INSTALL without TPM?
Only trouble is that I now get this warning, which I can live with anyway. A BIOS update might help, but the Gigabyte page doesn't mention this issue and I never update the BIOS unless I have to.

This is strange. Haven't see this. Then again, none of the Win11 installs I've done have been on systems with TPM or SecureBoot enabled. A few have had UEFI. So maybe put your BIOS into Legacy mode, disable SecureBoot and TPM, then see what happens..

I disable TPM in order to get Win 11 to load in the first place. It installed with TPM enabled but won't load in that state.

I had TPM enabled throughout my fresh install with zero problems
That's sparks a thought...

Had you flushed/wiped/reset the keys in the TPM module? I think that needs to happen with each OS reinstall. Only a thought, my experience with TPM modules and functionality is limited..
