https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/07/08/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22000-65/ There's a lot of small bug fixes, but only one of true importance: quote:Taskbar will now show across multiple monitors which can be enabled via Settings > Personalization > Taskbar.

Aside from that, is multi-monitor support any better in 11 so far? Does it still run into dumb scaling issues? Will it move my desktop icons back and forth between displays when switching scaling/primary display? Will my mouse cursor still move unintuitively between different-resolution monitors of the same size?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Will it move my desktop icons back and forth between displays when switching scaling/primary display? I can't speak for the rest, but this works differently in Windows 11 than it has in the past. It remembers how your windows and icons were arranged on each monitor setup. Not sure what if any limits or quirks exist in the implementation right now, but it works great on both my laptop and my desktop when changing monitor configurations.

I heard Windows 11 lets you have multiple desktops on a per monitor basis now (like Spaces) instead of switching all of your monitors. Is that the case?

does it have something other than win+p for changing multiple monitors on the fly, they probably should rename that as display change instead of presentation

I had to use it to get windows to recognize my second monitor once when none of the control panel and graphics card driver settings would let me use it.

new Win11 insider builds coming out soon. if you joined the Dev channel to get the first build and want to avoid the buggy poo poo that's coming, now would be a good time to go in and change to the Beta channel

I've been in the beta channel since 11 was announced, and today I got the prompt to restart, update to 11. I was expecting a long, drawn out, sit at 37% for an uncomfortable amount of time, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER experience, but nope! It took maybe 5 minutes total. Everything works perfectly fine....so far.

So I was in the beta channel to fix a bug a long while back and today my computer auto installed Windows 11. Kinda goofy that I don't think it ever prompted except saying I needed to reboot for an update. So far seems about the same and with an ultrawide display I like the centered taskbar. My only problem is that it auto-collapses everything on the taskbar and has no labels. Really hoping they at least add labels.

Half tempted to preemptively update to 11 just because my 10 install seems incapable of updating anymore. I'm getting error code 0x8007000d every time, and none of the tips about fixing it I've seen online work, so maybe I should just jump straight into Windows 11. Is this a terrible idea?

Try an in-place upgrade -- get the latest installer and say "upgrade this pc now". It works even if you're on the latest version and you're "upgrading" to the same thing you already have. This is by far the best way to fix w10 issues like those that don't get solved with the normal troubleshooting.

The betas haven't even been the worst Windows betas. There have been some really unstable ones back in the day when you'd have to wait for a CD in the mail with a fix. But, I'm out  the first two builds were working fine except that something was causing me to get massive compositor drops in VR, like every 3rd frame, that just do not happen in Win10. I have ideas, and if any of them are right I don't really expect this to get fixed until RTM. Sucks though.

11 is mostly a massive UI change, so there's some unfinished stuff there, but the core OS is basically solid. There's really not been a lot to say about it after the first insider build dropped, it's not quite finished but it's good enough for me to use as a daily driver and not look back. I like it a lot more than 10 already.

They're just come full circle on that with DirectX, back in the DX9 days the runtime was a standalone thing bundled with the game that used it, then it started being integrated more deeply into Windows, then the DX people realised that being beholden to the Windows update cycle sucks actually and they're going back to bundling the runtime with the games https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-dx12agility/

fawning deference posted:I am not an Insider, so I have to wait to get a stable build until official release, yeah? You can become an insider just by flipping a switch in the settings panel, it's not like some exclusive club. But beta builds are not what you should be using if you want "stable". Windows 11 doesn't offer anything that will vastly improve your life right now, other than the new UI if you like the looks of that more than 10. Also running beta / insider builds locks some things out of your control, for example telemetry is locked on. Which might be related to this issue, now that I think about it: BrainDance posted:But, I'm out

Apparently the 900 series chipsets have UEFI booting, it's sucky but it's there. SecureBoot & TPM might be avoidable things that you can force your way around. But I would not recommend it. That's the very first generation of chips with support for 2nd-gen hardware virtualization, which is an absolute requirement for W11. So you might be able to trick W11 into installing on the machine and it would run, but it'll be slow as balls. Stick with W10 until it is EOL, or you get a new PC.

Which might be related to this issue, now that I think about it: Thats actually what I thought has a good chance of being the cause. VR is really sensitive to anything that might add any extra latency to a variety of things (like the longstanding but recently fixed nvidia driver bug that tanked performance with any GPU monitoring tool.) After a while of trying to figure out the cause otherwise I started to think "this is probably something like that, and out of my control" and, a fresh install of Windows 10 fixed it.

wasn't there a new feature that let you assign different 'desktops' to different monitors? That would allow some useful differences from a normal multi screen setup. It's hard to google since desktop is such a common word.

It's hard to google since desktop is such a common word. My 8yr old laptop has a TPM chip but I’ve never dealt will a Dell for BIOS. I upgraded from a 2013 to 2021 BIOS, and finding the TPM switch to “On” with no problem. I’ve never seen a BIOS like this, and I don’t understand where an equivalent to “Secure Boot” is located, or if it’s just called something different on Dell’s part because it’s not in the Boot option or Security tab, either.

Naw I don't care about the wallpapers. I'm talking about the Spaces part where you can arrange everything and even have applications in multiple "Desktops". If I can assign a Desktop to a particular monitor it'd be helpful rather than hit the desktop switch key and it moves all monitors to the new desktop FuzzySlippers fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Aug 6, 2021 |

It looks fine in Task Manager, so it's just a weird UI bug I guess? E: Okay, so it's only for one specific file, just a text file that acts as the config for a VR plugin, but it's marked as a .cfg file and has no Windows association, so maybe it's something to do with that? I got it open by just double clicking and selecting Notepad as the associated program, so problem solved I guess. It still locks up the context menu even with a file association though. Very weird.

I know there's software that lets you customize the context menu but maybe this will put an end to random garbage right click options

Klyith posted:I don't believe that ctrl+alt+del does anything special at the hardware level on modern PCs, where "modern" dates back to the late 90s and the switch from 16 IRQs to APIC. So a long time. (It's not technically wrong to say that ctrl+alt+del generates a hardware interrupt, but does every other key.) The guy that wrote taskmanager back in the day is on youtube and describes how it works. Im not entirely positive but I think it hooks into the Kernel itself with CTRL ALT DEL. [edit] Dave's Garage
