And it's working gangbusters. They added a "system protection" link finally in the system settings. At this rate win 11 will be finished before Linux!

I swear to God, killing Edge, never signing into a Microsoft account, and uninstalling as many of the built-in apps as possible makes a huge difference. I’m pretty sure it came up here a few pages ago, but some clever guy wrote a nice blog post detailing his process, and the difference is almost night and day. edit: obligatory from the GPU thread, c/o rinkles: https://twitter.com/PhantomOfEarth/status/1756334413040718140/ …what Hasturtium fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Feb 11, 2024 |

I think I might try Linux as my main driver next time I update my computer and record the problems I ran into. I'm reasonably tech savvy and use linux a lot as a server platform for work, but I haven't had to muck with desktop poo poo outside of Steam Deck. I suspect I'm going to end up going back the first time a game doesn't work on release day or if one of my older games just flat out won't function, but it might be worth a shot. Maybe just dual-boot; I actually still have a spare hard drive in this computer. gently caress, now that I think about it, that spare HDD might be the opportunity I was looking for.

At least now with EFI dual booting is much less of an endeavour than the days of "oh god dammit there goes grub again"

I've run dual-boots for over 20 years, mostly so I could game in Windows, but also because having two discrete operating systems on a machine is a nice failsafe. It hasn't happened often, but on a few occasions I have had either Windows or Linux crap out hard, to the point of not being functional, and it's really nice just being able to reboot into a working OS to figure out what broke in the other one. Or if I'm in the middle of something important then I can pick up where I left off with little disruption to my workflow.

Oh poo poo they're going to make AI characters huh. They'll iterate designs, focus group them, add them to menus and OOTB branding. Ugh... AI late night guests... Microsoft will have the... Hyper customizable gamer waifu or bro stereotype. Or a skyrim dragon. Apple's gotta have a beach ball somehow but they're scared of water. They're either 20 or 70 years old, no intermediate choices. Android will be in a 90's power suit. Pencil in hair. The Linux version is Linus with high cheekbones and lip filler. You pick which Linus, and whether the lip surgery was successful. Also it doesn't run on your chipset, specifically. There is a fork for different genders but it's on some Cyrillic .cx domain. GNU, obvious Oracle Solaris: Completely batshit. Unknowable. If you try to get to know them, they only get stranger. Hot.

 Is it normal to still be on 22H2 at this point? Trying to think of anything in my system that might be incompatible (the venerable Sound Blaster USB sound card that I've used with my PCs since 2015, perhaps?) and preventing the larger update.

My desktop on W11 23H2 downloaded 23H2 again this morning to unenroll itself from Windows Insider (it had been queued for ages and was meant to opt-out the next major update) and ran the installer to do something with the recovery partition, which I was sure I had already done manually a while back when the WinRE vulnerability was first mentioned. Anyway it definitely resized the partition to make it a couple hundred MB bigger.

Has anyone else noticed the DCOM process being pegged at 5-10% CPU utilization in the last week or so? Disabling Defender's real-time protection seems to end it. Quite annoying on a laptop since it's keeping the fans from spinning down.

I have an archival drive where I move files I want to keep but am unlikely to use often. I'd like to make this drive encrypted, and also automatically back everything in it up to another drive, whenever I move something there. How would I accomplish this in Windows 11?

Encrypting: Bitlocker. You need 11 Pro to encrypt drives other than C, a Pro license is cheap from the two goons in samart. Instructions Automatic backup to another drive: You could use windows' built-in File History backup, or dedicated backup software, or something more manual. Will the backup be to an external drive that only gets plugged in every so often, or a drive that is always available?

Oh I told him flat out I couldn't help him if it wasn't and he said "it's okay, this is just my travel laptop all my stuff is in the cloud" "Oh thank God" He was absolutely willing to accept a flatten reinstall. Easiest money/friend-cred I ever made.

So I checked and I was in the same situation. It has to do with what channel you're on Release Preview Channel is apparently still on 22H2, switching to the Beta channel initiated the download of an update.

I've got the weirdest problem with some (not all) of my Windows 11 programs. The text and icons, whether on buttons or in text fields, get "blurry" or "smeared out" a couple of seconds after opening up correctly. This doesn't happen with things like word processing or web pages/web text, butt mainly seems to show up in game launchers such as Steam or Epic Games launchers (and the new Eve Online launcher), as well as the new default Outlook. Usually you can move the mouse over the smeared text/icon and it will clear up to "readable" right away, but may fade back to blurry after a second or two. I recorded a short video with ShareX of my Outlook getting wonky and it shows the transitions quite well. This is Windows 11, all current updates, but has been happening for a while now and doesn't seem to be clearing up on its own!

If so, try setting it to 100% to see if that changes anything.

That was my first thought as well, and I just had the brilliant thought to try hooking up two different monitors to check if it was monitor specific, but it did the same thing on both HDMI- and DVI-connected monitors. Appreciate the suggestion, though!
