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).

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
