Well, no, nothing i did solved it. At some point between 5 minutes and 18 hours after reboot, unzip performance degrades 500%. But only on the mobile cpu, desktop cpus keep the same performance level. On the plus side, I've cleaned out a bunch of old stuff i never use, trimmed startup services, and excluded work folders from indexing and a/v. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
I've been suspicious of Copilot for some time, that it was the bloat that came in the February updates and started my performance issues.
-
Btw, any Macrium Reflect users, be sure to check periodically that it's still licensed. It uses some trigger from Windows to determine that it's on a new machine. If it decides the license is no longer valid, it stops doing backups without telling you. I like it but that's annoying.
-
Just anecdotally, the performance issues i was having were the same with or without allback. Windows went south after NT5, aka Windows 2000. The problem is you need to pay developers to keep Linux current. Didn't somebody just hack its back door?
-
The unzip weirdness mystery is solved. Something about using displayport to hdmi converter to connect to an old tv was the culprit. probably caused Webroot's issues.
-
Don't use its displayport to connect to a 5 year old tv's hdmi. It causes some weird backup that degrades performance.
-
Webroot. Geez... it was the first thing i checked but something made me think that wasn't it. uninstalled and performance is back to normal. unzip is still weird but within normal range. sheesh.
-
So when i got the Titan, it was 20% faster than the Clevo X170KM-G with i9-11900K. Now it's 20% slower. It's a very expensive salesman's powerpoint laptop...
-
yeah. same result.
-
That just gets me back to pre-reset... it gives me a few minutes after reboot to use the cpu. after that, which may be 15 minutes or 90, it throttles immediately.
-
Msi updated firmware which set bios back to default balanced instead of high performance. 🫰
-
Not really seeing anybody else affected by the February updates. I did a reset yesterday on the mobile cpu machine. It still slowed down an hour or so after booting. Maybe i never really checked sustained performance in the first place? Not sure if i gaslighted myself at this point... Not buying any more notebooks.
-
Daily doesn't do it. Just had a machine hang 7 hours after it booted, it had been fine an hour before. The mobile cpu machine slows down after 3 or 4 hours.
-
Ok, seems like it's just a matter of how long the system's been up. I'm scheduling daily reboots on everything.

Trying to switch from Windows to Linux, ongoing issues thread
br2 replied to Aaron44126's topic in Linux / GNU / BSD
So my newest machine hung this morning and had to be force rebooted. The oldest is already on a scheduled daily reboot. Every time Windows p1sses me off enough to think Linux, i come to the same conclusion; it's a nice idea but volunteer developers aren't enough to make a viable platform for me. Crossing my fingers the April updates fix whatever the F**k Msft broke in the February updates. -
Anyone use OS/2 back in the day?
br2 replied to Sandy Bridge's topic in Operating Systems & Software
Some fond-ish memories of it, but it was when i was working in banking software. A time best forgotten outside of nightmares... Kinda cool you got it up in a vm. Might do that with Windows 2000 some day. -
Geezus... it apparently has to be done every reboot now. i guess y'all have given up on notebooks entirely. looks like i'll be following you down that path. my oldest machine, consigned to host ftp, now requires a daily scheduled reboot. feels like we're back in the days of 16 bit windows.
-
@#@#... Msft changed the guid on power plans. I changed it to balanced and high performance disappeared. below brot it back. it's much better now... powercfg -restoredefaultschemes powercfg /aliases powercfg /s SCHEME_Min powercfg /l

I used to unzip 100 gig db file in 50-ish seconds, now it takes 5-6 minutes. I'm on an Msi Titan notebook with a 13980 cpu.
-
I was starting to contemplate rerunning the cable in the wall.
-
quick glance at Google indicates 7 was a dead end. if you're running cable in walls, probably go 8. 6a appears to be fine for 10g.
-
Its network connection was still flakier than normal. I replaced its new (as of the time i bot it) cat7 cable with a 6a and moved the cat7 to another machine which immediately started flaking out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So far so good...
-
The whole Killer thing may be solved. I've spent the past year fiddling with driver switches to no avail. I just dug into their too-busy app and found a "maximize throughput" setting and turned it on. It hasn't dropped the connection in over 24 hours. Not sure whether to be embarrassed... 🫰
-
"Unhappy" is a little too strong for where I am with them. Annoyed that they have a compromised keyboard when there's ample room for a full one. Killer, I'm not sure if it's their issue or my environment, just wanting an alternative to see which it is. Yeah, the 18 inch Titan is an attractive option except for the stupid cramped keyboard. It comes in over 6k with everything I want. I think I'm just going to upgrade the wifi in the machine I have. My inner Scrooge will be pleased...
