I'm using a 3700X atm and am not seeing perf problems anywhere. 

 

I'll look into it.  Later. 

Is it that you aren’t seeing them, or are not sensitive to them? Check Aida64, I bet your L3 cache latency is out of whack. The same people reporting these problems have seen slowdowns and erratic performance in games too. I definitely noticed a difference in my own use cases with my software development stuff. I’ve gone back to 10 since. I won’t step back into W11 until they figure out what’s up. 
 

Who knows, maybe it’s just the extra debug code that’s running.

As a higher end gamer I tend to notice any perf issues, I'd definitely have gone back to 10 if i was seeing anything like that.  My machines are in an awkward room right now so I'm not playing as much as I could be but I'm definitely latency sensitive nonetheless.

There seems to be some weirdness with this latest build 22000.168 (and possibly 22000.160 too) on my Surface Pro X. I actually thought the keyboard was failing as it started having issues over the last week at random times. It would stop working and at first I thought it was if I bumped it (like if it was having a bad connection), but I've also seen it just suddenly quit while using it on a hard surface too. It go really bad yesterday until finally whenever I would connect it, the device would go into sleep mode. A bluetooth keyboard worked fine, but I noticed the battery was getting low. I charged it up, and the keyboard seems to be working fine again. Really odd.

 

Has anyone else noticed anything similar with the Insider builds on similar devices (if anyone else here has a Surface running Windows 11)?

I need to fire my VM up again, haven't messed with things since the 2nd official build came out. kind of want to play with the new Start11 beta too as I'm not a fan of the new start menu implementation.

 

IMO Windows 10 has the best start menu even if turn off lives tiles because it's so much better being able to group your pins together in categories rather than a static pin section like 11 has. That and the fact that the suggested section doesn't go away when disabled and just leaves white space, such a horrible implementation.

That option to remove it is a hack of sorts isn't it.  There's no official setting to not show it is there?   Anyway, we'll see where they take things in the dev channel now that they're moving ahead to next years version and adding more things.

It depends on the hardware. It is slower on my machine, which falls in line with apparent L3 issues with W11 and Ryzen. 
 

It should smoke on my machine. It’s slower than 10 though. L3 cache latency is through the roof. 
 

Ryzen 9 3950X

128GB DDR 3600

PCIe gen4 2TB SSD

RTX 2080 Super

 

I think you need to be sitting down for this news:

I can't view it since I'm not part of the insider preview for 11.   Oh well.  I suppose it's something to do with the taskbar though.

It has to do with the missing combine vs. not grouping of stuff on taskbar.

Its really strange how upvotes keep disappearing from this feedback.

A true mystery. It doesn’t matter though, the amount of upvotes doesn’t determine MS priority.

I can't view it because feedback hub is too damn annoying to us normal folks.  If they want telemetry, that's cool.  If they want to keep asking me if I would recommend stuff to my friends and family screw that.

 

It's almost as annoying as "WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE US A FIVE STAR RATING THIS TIME"

Windows 11 25115 has been out in the wild for a week - and unlike the last two builds, runs just fine on unsupported hardware (my G3258 has one quibble - it can't run the Windows Subsystem for Android).  That is, however, the only quibble - it supports the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Hyper-V just fine - and has supported both just fine.  Other than the single quibble, so far, I see nothing that absolutely demands TPM.  Curing that single quibble is an expense - but said expense is not even $500USD (yes - I've priced the parts list) - it solves the TPM issue; it even solves the SSD lack (it also quadruples the onboard RAM from 8 GB to 32 GB).

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
