so 194 is final?

So I checked if I can leave the dev channel and no dice, only way to leave now is by a full reinstall. Bleh, I thought you could easily move about this chit, I guess not. I guess I stay here until I have some major problem. Updated to the current release after just installing a few days ago and had an install failure on first attempt, second attempt worked so all was good, last build wasnt all that smooth for me. had terrible mouse lag until everything loaded and some taskbar crashes. Lets see how this one goes.:o

They usually release the RTM version for Technical Preview channel before general availability, so yes, this should be the version being released on Oct 5th, unless some major bug happens.

There are still quite a few bugs to be ironed out. Even blatant ones like some of the Windows Update Advanced Options crashing when you select them. But Windows is never truly finished. It's "good enough" for the general public now, and bug fixes will be a regular thing just like with Win 10.

Yep, latest build in the Dev channel is no different, everything has to load before the mouse lag stops, maybe I will try hibernate to get around it.

Edit: So having everything already loaded works for this but I have never been that fond of hibernate, we will see, in my years using it, it either turns itself on by itself or fails to properly load at times. we will see, I have a chit load of stuff loading at startup but it never seemed to bother windows 10. Its always the same with a new OS though, takes months to get it all right. Works fine once everything is up.

Does anyone know if the following is implemented in Win 11?

And Windows Hello broke today, it just does not work with my Logitech Brio. It was working fine after upgrade some days ago, but now refuses to work again. :bleh:

The Dev build on my system I cant pull the calendar or notifies up when I want, Its funny because a half hour later it will all of a sudden start working and pop up and stay working for a while and then fail again like now.

Anybody ever been in the Dev channel? Is it normal they just put out new builds every 3 to 5 days and dont use normal updates? I was expecting maybe a build every few months and they would just use updates, this reloading windows every few days to get those updates is ridiculous. Probably will have to do a reload when 11 comes out if that's the case, Should have waited I guess.

Anyone try this tool to bypass the hw check requirements?

Honestly, Win 11 isn't worth jumping through hoops to get and install. If your hardware is supported, by all means upgrade. If not...stick with Win 10. You're not missing much.

I have 6 computers at home, only 3 support Windows 11. On the other 3 I will deploy Windows 11 after it's officially out, have an old Surface Pro 3 for testing :D

My main desktop runs Windows 11 smoothly, the Hello issue is solved, somehow...

Just installed on the Lenovo laptop. No issues so far.

Installed a few weeks ago and all is well. No BSOD's or anything like that. Seems very stable. Games play fine so not complaining.

Beware VBS.. Virtualization. Can hurt game framer ate by 28%

You saw this, right?

"And if you're upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 then you don't have to worry about VBS being enabled, unless you were already running an enterprise version of the older OS, that is. The issue comes if you're receiving a machine which has had an OEM build of Windows 11 installed on it."

I upgraded from 10 to 11 via the ISO, and in my case VBS is enabled. :( I'm using Pro, not Enterprise or whatever if that matters. I don't recall whether it was turned on in Win 10. It's a bizitch to turn off VBS though.:mad:

:eek:

I’m still holding off for a while. I don’t expect issues due to acroig’s success with it (same exact laptops) but I don’t want to be an early adopter this time around.

I figured out how to permanently disable VBS, but honestly I'm not seeing any difference in fps in games.

Munkus, what did you do to turn off VBS? I'm still on Win10 but noticed that, per MSInfo, VBS is already running on my PC (maybe b/c I use the hypervisor for WSL2?). Was it just a registry edit to do it?

Installed it yesterday via the official Installation Assistant, also created a bootable USB installer with the official Media Creation Tool just in case.

It's fine, I like most of it so far. There's a lot of evidence being posted that the UI is largely just a skin, screenshots and gifs of the old Win 10 UI glitching through the new Win 11 UI. I'm hoping this isn't hurting performance, it doesn't "feel" like it is though.

I actually kind of miss being able to group pinned apps in the start menu, but the Win 10 start menu was a huge waste of usable space.

The clipboard history tool is very useful, check it out. Enable it in the settings and hit Win + V.

Not at home to check in Windows 11 but in Windows 10 you can turn off VBS by searching Device security and there are options to turn it on and off in there.

As much as I dont want to, I'm probably going to drop out of the Insider preview Dev crap and install the release version of Windows 11. Don't like how the Dev preview channel works with constant new builds that require reinstalls every time you want to go to the next. And there is no way to drop out of it without a reinstall! Bleh!

Enabled TPM and just installed Win11. I really like the new taskbar, this thing is sweet for a 38" ultrawide! Not a huge fan of this start menu, though .. I'm sure it'll grow on me

There was more to it than that, but TBH I tried so many things and eventually found the winning combination. I think it was a combination of registry changes and uninstalling Windows Defender Application Guard. Regardless, I didn't see a huge jump in fps in games, so I'm not sure about the claim that VBS causes a 28% performance hit. I'm probably going to reinstall App Guard and undo the registry changes just so I have max protection.

Same here.

I don't like the new Start menu or where it's positioned. Luckily it's easy to move it back to the left side. Also, Stardock just released Start11 to bring back the old Start menu I love, so that's an option if Microsoft's new design doesn't flick your Bic. (arcane reference there...who gets it?)

I was going to just do the upgrade from Win10 but I'm gonna reformat. Just need to backup some pics and get the ISO on my flash drive.

Is auto-hdr available in the current version of win11?
