New Frequently Asked Questions list in Settings > System > About hidden in builds 26120.3576 and 22635.5090. Has some questions related to the Windows version and device specs. (vivetool /enable /id:55305888).
Thats a good feature but it kind of reads like ai slop and allows windows to blame the users hardware for issues.
Brings back memories!
5.1 Calculations per second? Seems low.
Depends on what is calculated. Calculating all digits of pi 5.1 times per second seeems pretty fast.
Simpler times, when 0.0000000051 GHz was enough to get by!
Its running Windows. Once the corporations have taken their cut, there are 5.1 calculations left for the user.
Didn’t it also max out at something ridiculous like 8.6? To “keep room for better hardware in the future”?
it maxed out at 5.9 at first, then it was raised to 7.9 for Win7 and 9.9 for the rest. TIL it’s still a thing, I thought it started and ended with Vista: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool
The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”
But it can’t even give me a descriptive error message as to why it won’t accept my password change. Huh.
(Minimum password age, really?)
Or any error issue.
I wonder if it’ll handle e-cores better than Task Manager.
Overall, it’s reporting 20% CPU usage. But all P-cores are pinned at 100%. E-cores idle. Of course I’m not CPU bound, I don’t need a better laptop, don’t be silly! And that’s just a Teams call. Fuck teams.
Just install UBUNTU, it will make your 10 year old machine run like it’s brand new because the OS doesn’t suck and isn’t Windows 98 with code piled on top of it.
That’s unfair. It’s Windows NT with code piled on top. Also, Linux Mint may be an easier transition for Windows users.
Ubuntu has been in quite its own mess and having an identity crisis now.
Ugh I hate this. It could be a list but they’ve got AI or somebody that writes like AI expand each bullet into a useless paragraph.
Can it tell why the currently running OS sucks tho?
Seems like a way to push hardware sales
Honestly, not a bad feature for once. I have seen people build (or get others to build for them) the weirdest fucking systems.
This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.
Oh you mean like Windows 7 did
Wasn’it even introduced in Vista?
Now that you mention it, yes. I’d forgotten because I barely used Vista. I ran it as a dual boot with XP and wound up staying on XP most of the time. Didn’t really switch over till 7.
fuck windows 11
fuck Microsoft
Unfortunately Windows 11 is the only OS to actually implement HDR properly. For that reason alone I still dual boot it with Arch.
Windows 11 won’t let me know anything. Ever since I was able to get Final Fantasy XIV to run on my Debian laptop, I have not had Windows on any of my computers.
Ever since i was able to play system shock one for the first time and monhun world stopped bsoding on my fedora, i won’t experience this feature either.

If you’re getting BSOD on Linux, you run goofed somewhere.
Windows taking a page out of Apple’s book. Apple’s way of forcing you to buy new products from them is when they make slightly more newer things of the same-ish specs, with minor tweaks and with massive marketing pushes. And support starts dropping quickly.
Windows seems to be doing this, by passively telling you to do it. The biggest plus with PCs over Apple, is we decide when we want to upgrade. Until you make a better OS, which is unlikely Microsoft, I’ll upgrade my hardware when I want to and if push comes to shove, I’ll get Linux or I’ll pirate your damn OS like I have done for the past 5 Windows OSes.
