Windows 11 on the m18x r2

[Azther]

Just thought id make this post as abit of a heads up for anyone wanting to run win11 on the old m18x r2. I upgraded from LTSC to standard enterprise to test out and whatever graphical app or game i tried to run resulted in a dxgmms1.sys BSOD (was repeatable with the epic games launcher and heaven benchmark). Turns out this is due to a setting called Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, which is on by default in windows 11 but not 10. Once this is turned off everything runs perfectly fine, ive attached some screenshots of where the setting is:

 

 

Hopefully this helps others, im assuming this isnt just exclusive to the enterprise edition but also affects other editions too.

Just wanted to let everyone else know as mentioned this isn’t windows 11 exclusive. I had the option on in 10 and also had bsod. 
 

this seems to affect SG mode systems with upgrades such as 

 

M18xR2

M17xR4

AW18

AW 17 R1 

 

so if you’re getting bsods this is the first thing to check. I spent months trying to fix this before.
