Windows 11: how's it going?

I updated both my laptop and desktop PCs to Windows 11. It was painless updating, and everything I have worked with it (I still have to look at EDDI though, it isn't working at all for me yet - unknown if Win 11 or other issue). All my games are working, including ED:O and others. The only issue I had with my laptop is I have a BIOS update for it and the file won't execute for it to update.
EDDI working fine here, I am using it as a plugin in VoiceAttack
 
I'm still treating this like the WIndows 10 upgrade in that I'll wait until I am sure M$ can deliver stable builds of W11. I am yet to be convinced from what I have read.........
 
Yeah, it was the Win 11 update - I used Hazel voice and it didn't populate on the update, and in fact removed my voice packs. Won't let me install them again either, lol. Other than that, I have no issues with the update to Windows 11.
I am using the HCS voices vith Voiceattack and have the EDDI voices turned off, EDDI is working great as a plugin in Voiceattack for sending data to EDDN.
One less thing to start up with ED
 
Yeah, no. I'm going to sit back and wait a few months as well. I didn't spludge a small fortune on a 5900X to have it run like a Fiat Ritmo.

Mad how a massive behemoth like Microsoft released their flagship product with bugs in it. I bet users on there hammering them about the state of their company, or trying to organise poor reviews in an effort to get Bill Gates to "listen to them." the way our lot did over Odyssey.
 
I was going to say I've had no issues! Until yesterday. I turned bluetooth off (via pressing WIN+A, clicking Bluetooth).... and then Windows 11 decided that was the last straw. No more unreasonable actions like disabling bluetooth!

But for Elite, it's been great! Sans bluetooth issues and all.
 
My original question was how ED was behaving under Win11.

MS may have been OK with compatibility, but they have also been known to having glaring holes in their testing. Yes, stuff gets fixed but, in this iteration, there appears to have been an oversight when it comes to L3 cache on AMD processors.

Given this resulted in a - potential - 15% performance hit, one can only wonder as to why this wasn't picked up by alpha's, beta's and the Insider Program.

This could have affected ED. Whether it did or not is the question.

We're also seeing reports of a network printer bug, laptops being charged over 100% of capacity and file explorer issues.

I was erring on the side of caution by asking before installing ;)
 
I've had it a week now. It's neither better nor worse. I can't tell its that close.
It's easier to customise so your stuffs foremost. And clearing down all the crap they install leaving just what I want.
Stability seems rock solid. No blue screens or overclocking issues/heat etc.
Tbh I don't feel I've upgraded at all...just says Windows 11 home.
3060oc with liquid cooled cpu and array of well placed fans ensures Heat isn't to much of a problem.
Average under load temps are 65c on gpu and cpu.
Idling it's about 30c
Same as win 10.
 
It seems quicker to me than Win 10 on my XPS... but that could be because the animations seem to be faster. But either way I've only had one issue in the two weeks I've been running it. Nothing different for Elite. Still good.
 
FWIW, I have upgraded to Windows 11 on all my machines (except the unsupported ones) when it came out and had zero issues so far. Elite runs as stable or not as ever, even on my notebook which has to use its Acer custom GPU drivers of old. I didn't notice any relevant performance degradation too, even though core isolation/memory protection and HVI are enabled throughout (core isolation was enabled on Windows 10 before, though). At work, we're currently migrating the development department to Windows 11 as well. A colleague had issues with re-enabling Bitlocker on additional drives after Windows detected a hardware change, but that got sorted out in the meantime and as it's a developer machine, nothing unusual really. My own dev PC had zero issues and I like the new UI plus certain features that may not be useful for others, like WSL2 support in Explorer. As for AMD, I cannot tell, they released a second fix recently but that one is apparently still not handling all issues yet. What I wouldn't do is upgrading a machine where Windows detects an incompatible CPU like 7th gen Intels. While this may work, the reason why Windows 11 requires 8th gen+ is the missing support of certain MBEC instructions in these CPUs. While Windows 11 apparently can still emulate these, this obviously leads to a performance degradation of up to 15% and may be the reason why Microsoft set a rather strict hardware barrier. But in fact, I never tried myself.

HTH, O7,

I had to buy a £1800 pc because it would not install in my 8 year Dell.
Teams is built in so everyone want to use Teams video.
I joined the Windows insider so saw it develop over time.
