News Windows 11 Insider Build addresses mouse stuttering, Auto HDR issues, other annoyances

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Overnight, my i9-13980HX laptop with a 4090 became unplayable in WoW. FPS capping at around 20 FPS and consistently dropping to the single digits resulting in consisting pausing. I'm curious if this is the result of an update. I discovered this before having to go to work, so I haven't been able to investigate it yet.

Sounds like a lot of folks have noticed performance drops in several of their games when moving to 24H2 and even some of the CU's since it was released. I'm hoping this update acknowledges and fixes many to most of that performance regression, but we'll see. I haven't been hammered too hard on the few games that I'm playing right now, and it probably helps having some headroom on a Ryzen 7700X, Radeon 7900 XT system.

Why would anyone put up with this dumpster fire of an OS? You get more of what you tolerate, folks!

Still the premier gaming OS. :/
I mean hey, we all have very low expectations of Microsoft; we know it isn't going to get [significantly] better at any point in time, and just like all the data tracking across the web, in automobiles, our friggin appliances... this crud is only coming more. That said, yes, use Linux for general desktop PC uses and whenever else possible, sometimes even gaming! The SteamDeck and SteamOS continue to grow in both customer base and amount of game titles. I do imagine a day when Windows isn't clearly the best gaming OS, and that will probably come in the next 10 years if MS continues with their abuses and downward trend of OS quality.

I have been reading the Internet since before Linux existed. I assure you that every user has already switched to Linux at least 4 times now.

At the rate it's going, with OEMs embracing SteamOS and game devs making sure their games can run on the Steam Deck, it could be faster - I'm not predicting the year of the Linux desktop, but if you start telling people "that platfom makes your games run 20% faster and it's free", you might just get a sudden migration. These things do have a tendency to snowball once they reach a critical mass, and Microsoft completely lost the excuse "it's Windows, it's stable and it runs as usual" with Win11 in general, and 24h2 in particular.
They are betting everything on AI anyway, so as a gamer, get ready to be set aside one way or another for some time.

To those who say you have to run windows for windows apps, or it's the "gaming OS":

Windows 10 is still quite viable. And since MS isn't adding more "features", it's quite stable and reliable too!

Wow, 20 FPS? With your components?
 
Did it also fix the major Windows annoyance - by screwing you with obligatory updates?
And second one - by not being free like many other much more sophisticated and stable OSes?
 
if valve gets its os in gear ill be switching from window 11 before windows 11 three quarters to 12 becomes a thing cause knowing microsoft it will be called some daft thing or use a pointless widget system or have literally Navi ai literally going hey listen if it could,

I also tried many so called Linux desktop incarnations before (the server/supercomputer ones are different, they mostly supposed to work in Terminal like 50 years old mainframes and they fit the purpose generally ok). All were not ready for general user, not user friendly, not polished enough and after all were even worse than Windows and due to small amount of users they keep the same semi-cooked shape up to today. One exclusion: Linux Mint. With Wine to transparently run Windows apps it is even better

Anyone has experience with Chrome OS? My feelings are that Google with their Linux based Android and Chrome OS will swallow all OSes eventually and teach them what it means to write stable user friendly software

Happily Installed Windows 11 on Old PC on October 6th 2021.

And Immediately installed 24H2 update soon as it released on my Current PC

Only experienced minor issues, nothing major in my eyes, and everything i run, works perfectly fine.

Of course everyone runs different hardware, and software installs on each Windows install, so some people may have more issues than others with there Windows 11 Computers. Overall though all is well at least with mine
 
I know people hate change, and I mostly do as well.
But, after recently building a newer hardware platform and going with Win11(pro), it was about as painless as could be. Not nearly as weird as going from Win7 to Win10 was.
It took me a couple of days before I forgot I was on Win11 and there was not even much novelty to it. I spent maybe an hour of time tinkering in settings getting things to act more or less like I was used to over those two days.
Maybe it is older hardware issues and platforms that bothers most or upgrading vs a clean install, I don't know.
 
Wonder if this will fix WSL filesystems disappearing from Explorer as well. Pre 24H2, if you had WSL2 environments, you could browser their filesystems from within File Explorer.

As of the update, they have vanished.

The problem isn't really with the UI experience, but with platform bugs and annoyance. Frankly, between Win11, MacOS and ChromeOS, they're all copying each other so much that they end up hard to separate. Desktop mode SteamOS is rather old school in that regard, actually.

What software? Chrome OS is designed to send you to the internet for any and all actual functionality.

Given the state of internet privacy that is a non-solution for most of us.

But, you are right. If a user is having problems with Windows, there has never been a Linux package that's going to make things easier on them.

I'm not anti-Linux really. Hell, the internet was mostly built on LAMP stacks. Free, as they say, is priceless.
