Listening to the Windows Weekly podcast it seems that Windows 11 won't be available to anyone but Insiders and OEMs until "early 2022". That's odd.

Xun posted:Hello I would like to loving escape windows 10 insiders dev branch eventually. Should I do a clean install of windows 10 or hope for windows 11 to save me? Try 11, if you don't like it, flatten and resinstall 10.

Not Windows 11 chat, but I've installed the beta release of Office 365 on both my Windows 10 and 11 installs, and I'm still not seeing the UI refresh - any idea why not?

Heran Bago posted:Also these icons look like some very old iPhone / iOS stuff and the look conflicts with everything else. They don't show if they have contents like normal folders and are not even consistent with their equivalents in the quick-access panel. Folders that have contents show a slight white line on the top left of the icon.

See the Windows 11 build in the release preview channel or whatever that one's called, is that essentially the RTM build with additional patches, or is there likely to another build issued as RTM?

Hungry Computer posted:That's the channel for builds that could be RTM, but will likely(hopefully) have additional bugfixes before release. I don't think there have been any W11 releases in that channel yet. The announcements on their blog still only mention Dev and Beta channels. Oh I'm sure it'll get patches etc., I'm just wondering if I can install Windows 11 now and when it's officially released I don't need to do a reinstall with another ISO or whatever.

It keeps disabling different animations for some reason, a setting I think is synched from Windows 10 which always did it as well. I disabled settings sync - where can I delete any presence of it from the cloud?

my kinda ape posted:Which dumb rear end in a top hat decided to completely remove the option to display taskbar labels!? Christ this sucks This is one of those things that makes me wish they'd do more than once yearly upgrades to begin with. They'll maybe add functionality back to the taskbar but it's my understanding that there will only be bug fixes and security updates the first year? I might actually buy Start11, because they've eviscerated the taskbar for simple things. Didn't seem like a huge deal to me until I flattened and reinstalled 11 and bit by work I couldn't so the simplest things the way I have done for over 2 decades.

Odd situation here. A few months ago I gave my dad an old GPU of mine, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Boost. Even on my previous machine I was able to have Secure Boot enabled (Ivy Bridge era). I built him a new machine a few months ago, a Ryzen 5600x on an MSI B550-A Pro. I wasn't able to enable Secure Boot because it says the GPU doesn't support GOP. He uses 3 monitors but we had only one plugged in when trying to sort this out. I'm confused as to why we're having this problem. Should we try a different output port on the GPU?

Worked for me, I just finished installing a Windows 11 image on my wife's 2013 Toshiba laptop, which is running an Ivy Bridge CPU and of course has no TPM or secure boot support.

Hunter Noventa posted:What's the verdict so far? I went ahead and changed my group policy so I don't wake up to a nasty surprise of a lovely taskbar and who knows what else no longer working, but I'm curious what else they screwed up. What group policy did you change and what does it do? Thing that grinds my gears is that you can't click and drag something into an icon in the taskbar, even from folder to folder. Bullshit.

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.

Hi all, This isn't specific to Windows 11 but it has plagued me on Windows 10 for years, and the saga continues. When my machine first starts up, windows has the System Properties> Advanced> Performance> Settings> Animate windows when minimising and maximising checked, and honours this setting. Within the time it takes to startup all the background stuff, at some point that setting gets changed to off, and those animations are no longer active. The last time I had that setting deliberately switched off was in Windows 7 because there were a few missing animation frames with it activated, and it looked awful. I'm not sure why this is happening - it occurs whether or not I have settings syncing to my Microsoft account. Initially I set this Windows 11 install up with a purely local account, but at some point in setting everything else up, this setting has been cleared again. Is there some way I can view what's switching this off? Event Viewer? Pay a psychic?

DerekSmartymans posted:Yeah, I definitely wasn’t trying to be a dick about it or come off like that. I have an online friend (is there a term for a person you’ve known for twenty years and count as a friend but never have met or even seen?) that loves RGB and overclocking his system to instability at the edge. He just likes the tweaking and tuning. His computer(s) and even his office look like a fairy threw up some neon, but there is enough RGB ambiance light to read a book! Have you tried StarAllBack? Not sure if it does what you're looking for but it's excellent for me.

henpod posted:I'm a big dummy and mess up the most simplest things and will end up making something slower, or file systems messier, or whatever. Are you saying I can choose which OS to start with, and if I don't like 11, I can just 'delete' it, and then my pc will boot up as normal from 10 as if nothing happened? Fair enough. Are you running anything in particular you're worried won't work? I've been using 11 for a few months and haven't encountered any major issues.

CoolCab posted:this question legit is not intended as a troll (even though it might read that way, apologies): For me, the animations and general aesthetic. Though I loving hate the changes to the taskbar, but StartAllBack addresses all my complaints. They really need to get their poo poo together with the native apps though, Mail and Calendar haven't changed much in nearly 10 years.

I should never not do that, probably. Remember the bad old days of clean installing Windows? You could literally spend an entire day downloading and installing updates. Horrific.
