Seems like NVIDIA / GeForce Experience are responsible for the graphics slowdowns.

LOL... the ONLY thing Chris Titus likes about Winduhz 11 makes me want to puke my guts out. Too funny... but remarkable the the only thing he likes screams how much the product sucks and should be avoiding like a plague.

Microsoft documentation (quite in-depth) on modern standby. It's been around a while but it needs hardware (including BIOS) support. It replaces S3 Sleep with S0 low power idle. I only ran into this with my GT77 as it's the first hardware I've owned that ships with it. Basically what happens once you hit sleep is:

 

1. Screen off, W11 starts preparing for Sleep. This apparently includes maintenance tasks etc

2. Between 1 second to a few minutes later, laptop goes into low power idle. Fans stop, but CPU is sipping a watt or two (I measured). Occasionally the CPU wakes up (every few minutes) briefly to 'check for things to do'

3. A few hours later it enters hibernate. Apparently it can go back to S0 low power idle from here, but I haven't seen it do it after 1-2 days. I used the SleepStudy tool in W11 to verify it is staying in hibernate

 

My laptop is always connected to AC so I don't really care, but if you were on battery this could be annoying. There is no way to disable this without completely reinstalling W11 with S3 Sleep enabled. Some laptops will no longer support S3 Sleep on a hardware level.

 

Hopefully this helps some people, I was confused when I first slept the machine and it didn't actually sleep right away.

 

sounds nifty but also kinda annoying if not implemented properly. i for one am a pretty straight shooter in this regard, i just disable all sleep states / hibernation features entirely and just use high perf ON or machine switched off 😛

The main problem is the latest and greatest from Redmond. New changes in the core OS and more useless features will make a huge havoc for the users. And Redmond say they will release new moments several times a year now. This on top of the feature updates annually. And this below will be the outcome.... Todays Microsoft word... HAVOC!!!! 

 

More update problems, this time affecting Rocket Lake processors

 

Windows 11 22H2 suffers nasty bug that crashes some PCs with Intel CPUs

By Darren Allan published Today

Got an Intel CPU? Then you may not be able to upgrade to Windows 11 22H2, at least not yet.

More disgusting from the Redmond tech company.... Why can't the users determine what they themself want installed on their pc's?

I just checked and Spotify was installed on my Windows 10 machine on September 29, without my knowledge. Thanks for pointing this out, so I could uninstall it.

Unfortunately, some people are using this piece of trash because they want to, and some because they bought a new PC with this cancer preinstalled. Many of them don't have the skill needed to upgrade to an older version of Windows. Windows 11 belongs in last place because it is an inferior product.

I expect a lot people and companies hate the idea getting a more unstable and buggy OS. Why buy new hardware only to try get this never ending mess?  I'm quite sure they know they won't gain much with such a upgrade. Worse for the wallet and worse for your moode. A big win if you skip both 🙂

 

The Windows 11 22H2 file copy performance bug could be far worse than first thought

Oct 8, 2022 · HOT! 23

Microsoft recently acknowledged a problem with file copy speeds on its Windows 11 2022 feature update as a big slow-down of up to 40% was noticed. However, the problem could actually be even worse.

 

Why release this? Microsoft use thousands if ont millions of guinea pig and noone is able to catch the bugs. And Microsoft test engineers fails as well. Just release a single new OS every 3rd, 4th or 5th year. And spend all years before the release for testing.

I gave windows 11 a fair shot (ran enterprise for a couple months on my m18x r2) and yeah, had too many annoyances and was generally more sluggish compared to win10 LTSC 2021. So in the end i went back to LTSC 2021 and plan on staying there unless something better comes along.

What a mess. Wonder if the fixed the 21H1 issue with Capability Access Manager Service randomly waking up to consume massive amounts of CPU, or whether they added more bloatware on top....

Sad news for people running Windows 10 and 11. Sordum gives up on Defender Control. Your only option to avoid Windows Defender now is to wipe it out totally from your OS.

I'd suggest looking at this defenderUI https://www.defenderui.com/

You can use one click to disable defender and improve security. Since TS comes with WD boost tweak bench and gaming are rarely affected

Better use MSMG and remove it, I won't install this pile of trash Defender ever. I disabled it on Windows 8.1 Enterprise but Windows 10 needs that to be totally removed from the OS itself. LTSC1809 17763.xx using MSMG deleted off defender totally.

 

Windows 11 is not an OS that I will ever consider, even if it's getting LTSC or BS. It won't be in any of my machines. I will move to Linux, Windows 10 LTSC will be end of line for Windows platform to me.

Microsoft's next goal is to squeeze out Ccleaner out from the market. Ccleaner's parents company Avast is already affected by Microsoft's security suite baked into their OS. They eat their own cooperation partner one by one. This just mean we will see even more bloat comong from Ccleaner and in Avast AV suite. 

 

Microsoft is working on its own CCleaner-like PC optimizer for Windows 11

Windowslatest.com - October 21, 2022

Windows isn’t really great at handling software as it wouldn’t automatically clean your registry entries and folders for all apps. The remaining files of uninstalled apps are all over your system, and it’s believed that the end result could be a slower PC. As a result, PC optimizer apps like CCleaner are popular among users.

If PCs tend to feel clogged up and sluggish, users download and install PC Optimizer, Registry optimizer or cleaner apps. It’s not surprising, though. It is widely believed that speeding up a system is cleaning it thoroughly and removing the leftovers of past programs.

 

 

There are several tools for speeding up a cluttered PC, but it looks like Microsoft is planning to join the train too. Over the past several years, Microsoft has been trying to make Windows faster and native apps smaller in size by pushing updates through the Microsoft Store instead of bundling everything with the OS itself.

Microsoft just can't stop improve their latest and greatest. 

 

Windows 11 Task Manager is preventing the Safely Remove Hardware feature

Ghacks.net Oct 23, 2022 in Windows 11 News.....

The latest version of Windows 11 has a bug that may prevent the safe removal of hardware from the device.

 

 

Users of Windows 11 who activate the operating system's Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media feature from the system tray, to remove USB devices and other devices connected to the system safely, may notice that this is no longer possible if the Task Manager application is open.

Windows 11 displays the message "Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device", stating that the device can't be stopped by the operating system because of another program that is still using it. That program, at least in this case, is the operating system's Task Manager.
