*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

There's a lot of things broken. I just opened outlook on my laptop there and it started doing auth loops flashing windows like as if they where popups open/close/open/close and it wouldn't stop. (exchange account)

Just on removing office completely with the office uninstall tool to reinstall it.
 
Never Combine is something I never thought about until someone here and on reddit mentioned it, and I saw it was an option in StartIsBack too so turned it on and I really like it. Like how the icon stack dynamically expands as new windows open making nice use of otherwise wastes taskbar width space. And seeing titles of opened apps/windows in the bar too.

I have enabled all task tray icons too, mentioned how to do it earlier in the thread. Windows has the option still to show all like on Windows 10, just tick that and any icons that do happen to overflow just drag them out of overflow and from then on those apps will always be in the main tray too.


Slow down mister. It's not about the look., it's about form vs function. The current right click menu is not fit for purpose from a high usage point of view.

There are many good things about 11, but also many bad things. The slower to respond right click menu is one of those bad things. When this improves (there is no registry edit to change this) I will switch back.... But until then I much prefer an instant right click menu and not have to wait for the noticeable delay for it to appear as it's pretty obvious for someone who uses context menus a lot for managing files between drives etc.

Things like this might not be noticed by some as these things don't even register to the average person, but they are still annoying to many and is very evident just casually browsing Windows subreddits and other forums and even this thread.

:p hopefully fixes come in time though so lets wait and see.
 
Anyone had an issues with hyper v vms since installing the release version?

I had a VM setup and working in Windows 10.
I updated to the preview version of Windows 11, VM still worked fine.
Just did a clean install of Windows 11 and tried creating the VM and attaching to the existing hd, now it's got it self into a situation where it's trying to auto repair itself and then says it can't.

I got it, had to do a fresh install completely. There is something up with Hyper-V.

Don't use it for now.
 
Thanks, might make the switch and create a fresh VM. not holding out much hope that this one stuck into the auto repair look is going to be recoverable. My biggest issue is I can't seem to find the windows licence key I bought for the VM :(.

I couldn't get mine to recover no matter what I did it was broken completely. Did you not create a snapshot by any chance?
 
not 100% sure. I think in hyper v before I started the install of the release version it was showing as 'saved' so could have been a snapshot. wondering if whatever it 'saved' was actually on the c: that got wiped and not in the location of the VM files.

But looking at the location of the HD it stored for the VM, the folders in the same location 'Snapshots', 'Virtual Machines' etc are all empty apart from the Hard disk. got a feeling windows has screwed me over here and stored things in its 'default' place

damn!
 
Only if you're incapable of differentiating which drive is which.

The system automatically chooses what's best for it or what the current config is. If you leave the drive in you might not get your data wiped but the drive has the boot info on it. You might find later down the line you remove that second drive and your system no longer boots, so then you need a boot recovery process to fix it.

Always best to keep the only drive in that you need for boot when installing windows.
 
Same here, installed it on release and been really liking the change. CPU also idles around 6-7c cooler.
Just checked my idle temps and I am now running 5c cooler at around 30c with Windows 11!

Was not expecting that...

I bet you both not on load. Go do a cpu stress test for 2 hours, see what temps get up to then. :cry:

Mine can get to about 25-30 when I have 1 tab open in edge and nothing else.
 
Well that's me done for win 11. Tried it, didn't like it. I have rolled a fresh install on all the devices that had 11 on back to 10 LTSC 1809.

I couldn't get used to the right click, and things took much longer to find more clicks to do things. Once 10 LTSC 21H2 comes out I will be shifting over to that shortly.

Never mind.

Note the word "idle" in both posts!

Idle is nothing, go stress test them bitches and see what happens.
