my partner has a Ryzen 5 3600x cpu and I believe it’s supported by windows 11 but windows tells her it can’t be updated yet :shrug:

microsoft is utilizing Telemetry to make sure that features used by a smaller subset of people go away. this is called "data-driven development" and it means you can go gently caress yourself if you want that feature

Yeah if Paint is running slow then I'd immediately think about throttling or something hogging the cpu being the issue

Still can’t believe windows 7 came out 9 years ago. Time flies.

You mean 15 years ago? Unless you meant Windows 10, which came out 8 years ago..

Didn’t they introduce grouped taskbar items as the default in like Windows 7? Not to defend MS too much, but I doubt maintaining a legacy setting in their primary multitasking dock is as easy as keeping a few check boxes around.

Anyone else having an issue with StartAllBack's version of the start bar not showing on top of all windows? Or is that the expected behavior?

Yeah whut. The start menu is the only thing that seems a bit “laggy” to me, but it’s been that way since win 10?

Windows can boot from an external drive now? I always remember having trouble doing that

I’m annoyed you can’t move the weather widget on the taskbar to over where it should be and where it was in win 10: by the date/time.

You absolutely can disable Co-Pilot just ask it how. If you want something gone in windows, there's at least a hundred youtube videos about removing it. This is windows ffs, not macos.

This reads like a r/walkaway post where the person pretends to get outraged at something that causes them to "leave their political party"




I think people are just tired of ms bundling a bunch of crapware no one wants into its OS. if it was just copilot, there probably wouldnt be a lot of annoyance, but there's a lot of junk now

Recently, my job gave me a new (Dell Precision) laptop, running W11. It mostly works fine except: I was in the habit of leaving my old laptop (W10) asleep overnight.

If I try that with my new one, it won't start in the morning - the power button starts something in there but won't fully wake it up, and I have to hard shutdown it before starting again.

What do?

We’ve had a very similar issue with a couple newer dell laptops at my job recently. Not sure what’s up with them, but maybe there’s a bad firmware version floating around?

I can ask IT at work tomorrow.

I removed the Xbox game bar overlay thing in Windows 11 and now a dialog pops up when I play games saying it’s missing and I have to dismiss it each time now. Good stuff

Thankfully since Windows is primarily only good for gaming these days, it should be fine. you likely don’t need to encrypt your Steam directory.

I only use my windows pc for games and I still can’t stand the new start menu.

It just feels slow and lovely compared to the third party ones.

Yeah I think this conversation started with Microsoft newly attempting to block apps like that (specifically, StartAllBack? I think).

Microsoft seemingly knows that some people won’t be able to upgrade and they are graciously going to let customers pay a yearly fee to keep using Windows 10

Sooner or later it's gonna be a popular aesthetic for digital images to fake dithering and feathering artifacts or whatever, right up there with Insta filters. If they don't exist already.

It’s already happening, a subset of zoomers carry around what they call “digicams” just to get that authentic 00s “aesthetic”

The second one seems ok, the built-in apps it removes are generally worthless and safe to remove. Just look over the list and see if you want to keep some things. (Or remove things that it defaults to keeping -- I always uninstalled the Photos app because I used a different image viewer and Photos would sometimes force itself back.)

I’m pretty sure I’ve used this to remove pre installed apps before and it works great except if you remove the Xbox game overlay, some games may complain it’s missing every time you launch them, which may get annoying after a while.

It apparently has fixed that, as the game overlay is now on the keep list and the only xbox thing on the remove list is an old app that's not used anymore.

Game bar / xbox overlay is actually pretty important for performance if you have a recent intel CPU, it detects games and keeps them from using the slow E cores.

That’s good to know, thanks. I eventually reinstalled it just because I was tired of dismissing the dialog in some games lol.

It’s be cool if you could browse your file system in Edge. Couldn’t you do that in like IE 4 (and probably earlier)?
