Windows 11 General Discussion

Much appreciated

In our testing with pre-release builds of Windows 11, a feature called Virtualization-based Security (VBS) causes performance to drop. VBS is enabled by default after a clean install of Windows 11, but not when upgrading from Windows 10. This means the same system can get different benchmark scores depending on how Windows 11 was installed and whether VBS is enabled or not. We plan to add VBS detection to our benchmarks in a future update to help you compare scores fairly.

Hi,
Yeah 3dmark always says disable g-sync if it's activated too.

Thought this feature also required bios virtualization features to be enabled, guess not :/

Remains to be seen if VBS will be fully enabled without a switch to turn it off in the final RTM release.

I've been using Win11 for a week now and I can say it is a little snappier than 10. The taskbar in the middle feels odd at first but it made sense since I'm using an ultrawide. There's still that knee-jerk reaction of scrollong to the lower left of the screen for the start button. The window key on my keyboard gets a lot of use now.

I also just updated the bios of my motherboard as it jad better ram compatibility in the release notes. I tried tighter timings and higher speeds but AIDA64 is saying that my L3 cache is 3x slower than when I compare it screenshots I saw in the internet.

I only found out after a few hours that there is a bug with AIDA64 and the L3 cache in Win11. So much time wasted.

Can I ask a Question? Since I found online the Reg Bypass to install windows 11 do you think M$ knows of it or will do anything about it later on or is it too late

That bug has been around in all insider builds of Windows since months, possibly years now, and it's not exclusive to Windows 11. RTM builds for whatever reason are fine in that regard.

Bypass for what?

 

[lexluthermiester]

do you think M$ knows of it

They know.

Bypass for what?

UEFI/TPM/SecureBoot

 

[P4-630]

Bypass for what?

I think he means the TPM/secure boot/ older hardware thing.

 

[theFOoL]

I think he means the TPM/secure boot/ older hardware thing.

As right now on my 775 build have WiN10/LTSC/Beta and Dev

Why so many?

Wait for the final build and you will find out

Hmmm I don't think they will change

Very, VERY doubtful anything will change.

I hope so, i don't think they will be very happy when people start having issues and then blaming them.

I mean of course WiN11 works on my 775 Build Duh... and looking forward to what my WiNLTSC will do which is based off WiN10. That and the LTSC is on the Laptop based IDE HDD which after everything is loaded it just works

Hi,
MS looks for updates way too much if disabled may last a while until you have to do your tweaks again

I'm sure they will eventually fix the workarounds and start rejecting old hardware

But then again someone posted a little while back the disclaimer to agree to before install
No telling if that is true or how often it might reoccur

As far as 11 differences and changes os wise
I'm sure MS will bloat it up in no time with adds maybe some with the new super sliding effects cruising across the screen like blimps display lol

Quick note: It’s important to note that installing this version of Windows on unsupported hardware is not recommended since you may experience stability and problems, and the device may not even receive updates. Use these steps AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Quick note about that quick note:

There are a number of users(here at TPU and elsewhere) that have been testing Windows 11 on hardware that is unsupported(including the now very dated Core 2 line of CPU's) to no ill effect and no instability! The warnings issued by microsoft are little more than scare tactics. As such, users who utilize the above methods to bypass microsofts requirements have little to worry about where stability and compatibility are concerned.

Indeed but my 775 Build is running fine

Hmm.. mine has just begun downloading Windows 11 Insider Preview 22468.1000 (rs_prerelease)

Maybe I'll wait till they no longer have an expiry date; less than a week now to the official version.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Maybe I'll wait till they no longer have an expiry date.

The Insider Previews will always have an expiration, unless kept updated. The beta builds seem to be absent an expiration date thus far. I have deliberately set the date forward 2 years(to Oct 2023) with no adverse effect. For example my VostroV131 has it's date set to 10-03-2023 in the BIOS. Windows 11 22000.194 boots and runs without complaints, warnings or even showing that it cares. I tested this just a few moments ago as I had not done so yet for 22000.194.
