I just restarted my W11 laptop after installing updates and it wanted to "finish setting up my device" by "connecting to a few more Microsoft services". Anyone knows wtf is this about? The only options were either do it or be reminded in 3 days.

So I just got a new laptop a few days ago, and it's running Windows 11. It's a 15.6" 2-in-1, and it seems like the appropriate hardware for Windows 11 - it's obviously a touchscreen-oriented OS. On this laptop it's fine, but I would find it very annoying on my desktop machine. There's some poo poo in 11 they just straight-up stole from ChromeOS, like the combined volume/brightness/wifi box that comes up instead of separate icons and options for each. Using the touchscreen it's fine, but I'd find it mildly annoying using a mouse, which is what I experienced on my Chromebook 2-in-1, too. So far so good, and I already upgraded from Home to Pro. I still need to spend more time using the machine, but so far Windows 11 seems fine on this particular machine, but it's not surprising it hasn't seen a level of adoption like 10 did.

W11 keeps loving up the sizes of my windows. Steam window, which I kept maximized keeps getting shrunken a tiny bit making the ugly W11 window borders visible. Discord, which I keep on the left side as narrow as possible gets randomly expanded by ~5 pixels so those pixels start covering windows next to it. And doesn't anyone else think this is ugly af? This window is jammed to the top right corner, yet there's still this white border visible.  Most programs have this border, but sometimes it's thinner.

A fresh install and (maybe) windows power toys fixed my window sizing issues. Nothing else worked. It also cleaned up some really weird issues with the Xbox apps I barely use. That's probably not the answer you want to hear though..

MPC-HC, the regularly updated clsid2 version, is like VLC in that it comes with a pretty comprehensive AV decoder library built in. (Installing the HEVC pack from Store is still halal though: you need it to generate thumbnails in explorer for HEVC videos, and it costs microsoft a nickel when you do.)

Does there exist an alternative program for controlling per-application DPI/button bindings for Logitech mice? The G HUB crap keeps getting me killed in games because it randomly switches between the desktop default profile and the game-specific ones while I'm playing.

Dunno about automatic per-application control but just use Logitech's Onboard Memory Manager and ditch background software for your pointing device entirely.

The G HUB crap keeps getting me killed in games because it randomly switches between the desktop default profile and the game-specific ones while I'm playing. The easiest alternative would be to switch to on-board profiles and only use g-hub you need to edit / change profiles. If you're really dedicated to input profiles that are dynamic per-application you could get into autohotkey, and as a bonus you'll learn to program!

The need to change profiles would be every time I tab out of games (I'm at 1600 DPI for regular use, but need to lower to 400 DPI for sweaty shooters - plus remapped side buttons). I've got the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse. Programming is not an issue but I guess I will need to figure out how to approach the issue first. As far as I could tell there's no way to switch onboard profiles on the mouse itself (and its manual didn't go into this at all) so I guess I will still need the lovely Logitech software to switch profiles? It's hidden quite far into settings so there better be some way to switch programmatically. Unless onboard mouse profile switching is some standard thing I don't know about? My Google-fu for AutoHotkey mouse profile switching is not yielding anything so far, and running lghub.exe with the help switch just launches the program normally, so if anyone knows more I'd love to hear it.

I've got the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse. I guess the main issue is that the mouse doesn't have DPI switching buttons so you can't do it yourself without messing around in the software or taking over one of your normal buttons you're using on the mouse in game. I see that there's some Logitech Lua API stuff for their mouse that might be useful, here's a recent stackoverflow where someone used capslock to change mouse DPI: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69939845/logitech-dpi-shift-using-modifier That could perhaps be used in conjunction with Autohotkey to generate the key presses on application change to fire the events to trigger the DPI change, but it is kind of a lot. Here's what comes up as Logitech LUA although this pdf doesn't really have a date on it I could see easily, so perhaps there's a better newer source: https://douile.com/logitech-toggle-keys/APIDocs.pdf Here's the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager tool to set up the mouse without GHUB in onboard mode: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059641133 This is maybe less relevant, but I found a command line python script to change DPI for a G400 mouse that this guy developed for Ubuntu and macos: https://github.com/rprichard/logitech-g400-config

It's hidden quite far into settings so there better be some way to switch programmatically. Unless onboard mouse profile switching is some standard thing I don't know about? The standard way to do profile switching with on-board profiles is to bind an mouse button to do it (in g-hub, or alternate less-busy app OMM). I dunno which mouse you have, but pretty much all logi mice that use g-hub have at least an extra topside button that is good as a profile switcher. Keito posted:My Google-fu for AutoHotkey mouse profile switching is not yielding anything so far, and running lghub.exe with the help switch just launches the program normally, so if anyone knows more I'd love to hear it. Nah for autohotkey the idea would be to set up a standard set of stuff bound to the mouse buttons, and then have autohotkey intercept them and change the inputs to whatever specific binding for an app or game. But that does nothing for the DPI issue, so if DPI is your main need for profiles then it's not a useful suggestion. I do fairly constant DPI across profiles and adjust sensitivity in games rather than on the mouse, so didn't really think about that, sorry.

Keito has the Logitech G Pro X Superlight which seems to have a minimal number of buttons so as not to be heavy or something: Seems like even just one button for profile switching or a set of DPI buttons would make it a non-issue, but GHUB should be able to change up the profile dynamically based on the program, it just isn't.

Rexxed posted:Keito has the Logitech G Pro X Superlight which seems to have a minimal number of buttons so as not to be heavy or something: Oh, welp! Well, if I had that mouse, here's what I would do: 1. only one profile on mouse, constant DPI 2. use sensitivity settings in game to change speed 3. keep the side buttons to default back/forward 4. use autohotkey to change the back/forward to other keys or macros on a per-app basis using #IfWinActive, which I've always found to be super reliable. However, I'd do this because I already know autohotkey really well. It's a lot of work to avoid g-hub, but that's worth the effort IMO. (Actually I wouldn't do any of that because I've recently switched to linux, and autohotkey is windows only. OTOH in linux the mouse software can switch mouse profiles from the command line, so I'd make a keyboard shortcut to cycle profiles. The mouse software is hilariously superior, as long as you have a supported device.)

What's the reasoning behind switching to 400 DPI for shooters, rather than just staying at 1600 DPI all the time and dividing your sensitivity by 4?

repiv posted:What's the reasoning behind switching to 400 DPI for shooters, rather than just staying at 1600 DPI all the time and dividing your sensitivity by 4? I've seen a lot of arguments for 1600 over 800 DPI if you use 1440p since that's likely closer to what you use in windows, so it might be a good idea. It could vary based on how granular the game makes its sensitivity settings, though.

Hello users of Windows 11 thread, I have an old W10 Pro install (with a legit key). Can I download the W11 ISO and install it from scratch using said key without any sort of upgrade process? Or do I need to do upgrade W11 via my already established W10 install and then do a fresh install?

I don't know about the factor thingy, but it seems to higher DPI actually results in lower input lag so there's that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYBTj2RXFs Edit: I just have mine at an high DPI all the time and lower the mouse speed in windows.

I just assume none of their sliders work the same and try to feel out a tolerable setting with my mouse at 2000 DPI.

Tiny Timbs posted:Is there really a way to egghead an ideal sensitivity in games? I just assume none of their sliders work the same and try to feel out a tolerable setting with my mouse at 2000 DPI. Yeah, there's a lot of websites for doing conversions between games. This one has the most games on their conversion list that I've seen but I'm sure there's half a dozen out there with similar stuff: https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/ It also may be available in some of the aim trainers that are out on steam now. I only know of aimlab but I think there's more. You can also always get into a game using the same DPI and get a ruler or other static measure to find a 180 or 360 and just adjust the in game sensitivity until it matches what you know should be the distance for that amount of turn. edit: oh I guess I thought you were asking about adjusting a new game to what you were used to from a previous one. It's going to vary per person but a lot of people take the 18" or so they use for a mousing space and try to figure out what amount of turning feels good for them in that space, like 360' or something. It varies per person because we don't all have the same arm length and sitting position and stuff. It can also take a little while to adapt to new settings, but generally slower is better in an FPS where you can use large motions to get on target with your arm and then go down wrist and finger motion to get on target. Practice and not getting a repetitive strain injury are the important parts. Rexxed fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Jul 21, 2022 |
