There's some changes/bug in Windows 11 that don't gel with some games. At least Prepar3D, CS:Go and Saints Row 3 Remastered do something to send some system service called Capability Access Manager flying off the rails, eating up as much CPU as it can, while also taking up several gigabytes of memory. If you're gaming and something inexplicably has poo poo performance, it's worthwhile to watch out for that one in task manager (some svchost taking up lots of memory, will stand out).

Seems like it. It's unlikely the games to be the culprit, since the service exists on Windows 10, too, and doesn't get triggered. I was trying out Saints Row 3 Remastered on the notion of being free, but wondered why it ran like crap, until by chance I looked into task manager and saw that service hogging around 8GB of RAM and eating >80% CPU cycles (on a 16-core Threadripper). CPU usage stopped when I killed the game, memory didn't seem to get freed. It's pretty much 100% reproducible. I hope MS catches and fixes it before release. There's already a bunch of entries about it on the Feedback hub, let's see what that's worth.

Klyith posted:That CPU is on the Zen 1 architecture (same as Ryzen 1000 series desktop CPUs), which doesn't have the particular hardware acceleration feature that MS wants for their virtualization-based security. This will cause performance loss, though how noticeable it will be day-to-day I don't know. See this article, scroll down to the section titled "A towering stack of security acronyms". --edit: I read on reddit that the Zen+ might have been dropped. >:[ --edit: Without Intel MBEC or AMD GMET, performance hit can be as much as 40% hit with HVCI (Memory Integrity) enabled. That'd certainly explain the frame rate reductions I've seen while trying HVCI in the past. Well, gently caress me. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 29, 2021 |

I never understood the complaints about the start menu. Most power users pin everything to the taskbar and use the start menu as search UI.

UI is a front-end to functionality in a system, and both are interlinked. "Releasing" an "old UI" (presumably open source or as freeware, or whatever you mean) doesn't really do anything, because they'll be yanking the carpet from under your feet rather sooner than later.

What'll be more interesting to see is if they'll gonna fix that DPC latency issue, that causes the audio subsystem to freeze for a minuscule period intermittently, causing the audio buffer to loop and sound glitchy. Plenty of people have been reporting this and it is annoying to boot.

I like Linux, because it's got plenty of interesting features, I like tinkering and the UNIX ways, but it's pretty useless if I can't run various (Windows only) productivity software flawlessly out of the box or play AAA games near their actual release date. If I have to run VMs left and right to make this work, I ought to stick to Windows to begin with. I gave it an extended try a long while back, when GPU passthrough via VFIO started to become a thing, and I found myself running the VM more than the underlying Linux system.

So why exactly is everyone so hot for Windows Defender, anyway? Today I downloaded an ostensible crack for Far Cry 6 to see whether Denuvo is loving with my system or not. The thing is throwing me tons of notifications about the executables and I keep telling it to remove it. It's doing gently caress all (i.e. it doesn't quarantine nor delete the files) except bothering me. And I haven't even ran the files. It's just Defender being stupid. Nevermind the UI is atrocious, anyway.

I've been trying to diagnose those audio glitches that appeared with Windows 11, and this time around, I came across a whole lot of people being convinced that the fTPM on AMD CPUs causes this and disabling it fixes it.

Fame Douglas posted:Seems unlikely. What audio glitches are you experiencing? I'm not getting any DPC/ISR latency spikes in LatencyMon, so it's not the NVidia driver (or any other) being a pain in the rear end. I'm currently running fTPM off to see whether that does something. Other people are convinced that it's G-Sync being enabled, so v  v

So far, I haven't noticed no more glitches of the kind I'm complaining about, since I turned fTPM off. (Then again, it's probably gonna happen when I hit submit, like always when I'm posting about resolving an issue.)

MikusR posted:It's possible that enabling it turns on either the Virtualization based security or some other device security features. The bigger issue will be getting Microsoft's attention about this. Chances are that it's some bullshit about the fTPM driver and the audio driver running on the same core and interfering. On other systems it might be the graphics driver instead. Probably not impossible, because I've read about complaints about stuttery graphics on Windows 11.

I still need to monitor (  ) it some more, but I think my displays stopped doing this stupid mode change flicker (sometimes up to 8-9 times) when coming out of sleep, since disabling the fTPM. At this point, since it's essentially a firmware implementation, that it's probably just buggy. Lets see if I can put a discrete module on this mainboard, because I sure as hell don't expect any more BIOS updates.

Clipchamp? What the gently caress, Microsoft? Some barebones web-based video editor where you need to pony up  a month to export in 720p or higher. I guess that's the price for ease of use in face of something like Davinci Resolve, which is free for the most part.Also, the OneDrive updater spawning four console windows during the update.

They should not gently caress around with the task manager for the sake of making it look more in line. That piece of poo poo started becoming relatively crash happy since once of the latest regular updates (usually switching tabs, most often going to the process tab), so if anything, it needs more bug fixing and hardening, and less messing about for no goddamn reason.

The "changelog" of the latest dev build mentions that they're going to bug you about the Memory Integrity feature, if it's turned off. I sure hope that notification stays entirely within the Defender UI, because I can't be assed with yet another toaster notification on (re)boot, more so because it's a performance killer on my CPU that doesn't support MBEC/GMET.

What the gently caress is wrong with this OS? Because sleep breaks some driver's functionality here, I decided to go the fast boot route and shut down the whole system. Except when I attempt to shutdown, the thing restarts instead and boots right back into Windows.

The 22H2 installer from within WU insists on TPM 2.0. Goddamn. --edit: Wow, that's mean. It's just a gatekeeper app. As soon it detects your system to be compliant (i.e. me reenabling fTPM), it closes and tells WU to go ahead, which then takes back over.
