For anyone having difficulty with grabbing an ISO for Windows 11 non-TPM, behold, Rufus to save the day.Blue Footed Booby posted:Same. I like how it lets you mix and match the different eras/versions. I'm using the start menu that's basically the one from 7, just styled like 11. It's the drag and drop between two different windows on the taskbar that broke me. I agree with whoever said it's not so much that they removed features, but that a complete rewrite of the Start and Taskbar code simply doesn't have many of the features yet. I also tried Start11 before StarAllBack and was surprised by how janky and odd Start11 felt. Even the animations were running at 30FPS for opening the Start menu.

The only thing StartAllBack is missing is the window groups new to Windows 11, where you can select an entire group of windows in the taskbar after arranging them in a custom window arrangement.

Twibbit posted:May be coincidence and simply luck, but my surface pro 6 has not randomly dismounted the SD card requiring me to pp it out and back in since I updated to Windows 11. You could easily fix this on Windows 10 by switching over to the generic driver from the Realtek driver in device manager. Just have to remember to repeat this after every feature update (so, every 6 months) It's entirely a driver issue.

The Surface Pro 4 where I reverted to Windows 10 booted up into Windows 11 mysteriously. I start Windows boot manager from grub so maybe it's that. Also wifi works on it again. E: didn't opt out of the dev / insider channel. It was probably that. Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Cross-Section posted:I've been struggling to put this issue into words but basically some programs (namely NordVPN and Mod Organizer 2) are cutting my desktop FPS to ~30 when they're in focus. Clicking out of them or just minimizing the window solves the issue, but it's annoying nonetheless. I think today's/yesterday's update might have actually fixed this for me. Everything's at the proper framerate with these programs open now. Good enough trade-off for apparently having even worse Ryzen performance now ![]() https://www.techpowerup.com/287786/first-windows-11-patch-tuesday-makes-ryzen-l3-cache-latency-worse-amd-puts-out-fix-dates

I built my new PC pretty much immediately after downloading the first insider build of Windows 11, so I haven't actually been able to notice a performance hit; I shall look forward to my speed patch on the 21st.

Windows Update. "Patch Tuesday" refers to patches from Microsoft. They've also gotten pretty good about including important 3rd party patches within Windows Updates these days.

Got updates overnight. Still seems to be running fine, despite the big scary talk about them loving up something with AMD. Though I haven't had time to try gaming yet, so I guess we'll see. But the way my schedule is looking, they'll probably have the fixes out before I can even try.

A few new quirks I've noticed. The onscreen keyboard will pop-up automatically, but it doesn't shift the page, it simply overlays. An annoyance I found out on my Surface very quickly. The second, and this one is a pretty major one for me, is quick sound output switching. With Win10, a quick click on the speaker brought up a selection menu of all available sound output options. Now you have to go to the Settings and then select. There used to be a little program that did this in the early days of Win10, but then they simply added it in as default. I also wish you can just mirror the taskbar on multiple monitors. Having to click Start just to open Chrome or Discord or whatever on another monitor, while I have a game on my main, is stupid.

I have a decent sound system setup on my desktop, as well as a solid headset w/microphone. I went and set a toggle, which is easy with only two options. Right ctrl+NumPad 0 instantly switches between the two and back the second time. It may be on the MS Store, but I got it so long ago I forgot.

There's an arrow next to the volume bar when you click the speaker icon that lets you switch input, but as someone who also needs to switch inputs quite a bit, it's one of my larger annoyances with 11.

I wonder in what manner they hosed with the registry stuff, if it's not an issue on 10.

my personal guess is that they wrote some optimization that assumes ASCII keys since they're apparently very rare and then deployed it without testing on any real world systems.

To get rid of the new garbage right click menu: https://www.howtogeek.com/759449/how-to-get-full-context-menus-in-windows-11s-file-explorer/ I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of reasons to upgrade from 10 when everything I'd be doing would just be things to make it look more like 10 (or Windows 98 in the case of the start menu; thank God for openshell)

Glad to see there's at least some way to get rid of that, since it was far and away my biggest gripe with 11 given how often I had to deal with it. Maybe someday I'll actually give it another shot now

Just buy StartAllBack, has all these options to correct Microsoft's fuckups. Was essential for using Windows 8 as well.

This made dealing with the right-click menu so much better. Now if Microsoft would add the clock back to all taskbars I'd be happy. I know I can get ElevenClock, but I'd rather not have to run additional software just for a clock. Though the lack of clock does lead to some amusing posts on the Windows forum: ![]()

I'm curious: is MS soliciting feedback from early adopters, or are they just relying on telemetry? Are they making any visible effort to collect user impressions? vvv thanks, I'm on W10 (WIN + F does nothing for me, but I do have as much telemetry turned off as possible) on a device that won't make the whitelist anytime soon, and I'm just curious. At least there's a way for people to directly say stuff to the company. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Oct 16, 2021 |

They use ideas from feedback all the time, hit WIN+F and take a look.

Win + F doesn't do anything for me either, on Windows 11. I didn't go out of my way to turn off extra telemetry stuff; not sure what all I left enabled when I installed 10 on this machine.
