Upgrading to Win 11

Red Devil · 05-10-22, 03:40 PM

I upgraded to Win 11 last week, and there were a few irritating little bugs. Today MS put out a large update which is supoosed to fix known bugs. So far so good and overall I have to say it VERY solid, especially (so they claim) for gamers.

All my games run perfectly including SH4, Freelancer (2003), FC2, Fallout 4 and online games like Black Mesa. And many many smaller games like puzzle games.
If all continues on these lines - I like it

PS: any reason for the zombies ^looks up^

I upgraded to Win 11 a few months ago, and I am happy with it. I fly online with IL2 1946 in a small group, and it works just fine.

Has W11 defender as before which takes a lot of memory!?

Yesterday, by some reason, I got the permanent blue circle on the mouse cursor.

Can´'t find out why. Already saw what processes were running,but noting out of the ordinary.

That's a pity because as far as I'm aware this problem is usually because some background process is continuously consuming a huge amount of processing power.

For the time being I am staying put and isolated, with WUS off and blocked, and updates being done not more than every 6 months, or less. But then, I do no shopping, financial, critical, sensitve, personally compromising or other dangerous stuff on the Windows system.

Windows tried to shove W11 on my rig twice, and boith times I managed to become aware of it in time and interupt it. Call me again in 2024 or so, when the teething problems hopefully are gone and Microsoft patches are worth to be called "patch" again. Too often in past years they caused havoc, especially on office and business machines running a lot of typical Microsoft business software. The combination was learned by many to be a recipe for desaster. Pure gamers' machines were a bit more lucky.
