That was interesting reading, i read about the new Audio ACX-drivers, and even if i am not an developer of any kind it seem like they want to phase out the old kernel streaming, and have the ACX to be the new low latency driver to adopt to, because of all the codecs and dsp's that are here to stay. but i can also have misunderstood MS article.
Thanks for sharing it.

No problem, the issue is for some that they just take the negatives out of these major new Windows updates, moan and don't pay attention to the improvements that are included. I've never used a new version of Windows that hasn't had some initial bugs and gremlins included.

Yeah, but it's the poltergeists that bother me.

Exactly, i agree, the new version hav it's quirks, but the link you gave was an big improvement, i also read about the WDDM display driver update, also an big improvement. The only bug i found so far is that if you set monitor to turn off, and have 30hz, or any other refresh rate, and wait till monitor looses the signal and goes into standby , Windows will auto set to 59.94hz for some odd reason, and i only use one monitor for most of the time, sometimes i use an dummy hdmi dongle if i need access via team viewer to get an resolution that is not 1024x728, when i'm i headless mode, and i use an Tab A8.
If i then connect my monitor and have dual screen via team viewer on tablet, then it keep my settings and if i have set it in 30 hz to save power it stays there after waking up again. but MS has gotten that via feedback hub, so i hope they will fix it. i can't do much more about that. And i also having that sfc and 8.6gig bug, but i don't care about it for now, they will fix those, that's for sure.
I am overall happy with the update, and thanks to the link you shared i hoping to see more improvements from both graphics and audio vendors to starting to use those new benefits to visual and audio drivers to be even better with even lower latency and much more. Underlying improvements are as important as the one that everyone sees, they have moved some stuff to settings from control panel also i believe, so it moves slowly to the new gui, which is good also.
Up to each to install or not, nothing is really right or wrong here.
No need to make it more horrible than it really is.

I'm remembering a song, from some years ago, in which was the verse,"When will they ever learn".
In all the years that I've been using Windows, all the way back to 3.11, I have never gone from one version of Windows to the next higher version by using the UPDATE process. The complaints from people who do that number into the Thousands!!!
My own, and never failing method to go from a Windows version to the next higher version is to just disconnect the old HD, connect a fresh new HD or SSD and do a CLEAN Install of the new version.
Today that new version is NEVER downloaded from MS or any of its cohorts. But, from an Independent and Trustworthy source.
Then I use ONLY Rufus to burn that new ISO to a Flash Drive for the Clean Install.

Then when I do the install of a new version of Windows, I get a Clean, Lean and mean install of Windows and none of the Crap that one gets from MS.
I know, I've said this before, but Windows 11 24H2 is the fastest Windows I've ever installed. And I virtually have NO problems with it.

"When will they ever learn?"

Hmmm... well "Live and let live" didn't seem to work, but maybe this will...

For crying out loud - I was just giving a different perspective. Don't be so defensive. If you do not like my posts, either report me if they are against forum rules or put me on your ignored list.

Yeah, while I agree and have never "upgraded" a version of Windows myself, it's really sad. On the fipside, my MacBook Pro from 2013 went through about 6 different operating system upgrades with no problems whatsoever.

I've only used Rufus to test installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, but I always get the ISO directly from MS. And I almost always use the media creation tool to create the USB key.

At first I did not like new notepad (thinking it had over complicated a simple tool) but now I love it as I keep the last ten or so tabs open pointing to various text files I have been using recently or use a lot.

Agreed, I use it a lot every day and the tab function has been a game changer.

My friend, I've no no problem with anyone having a different perspective.
I'd appreciate if you could post your perspectives without quoting me.

That's all I'm asking. Just have your own opinions... solo.

Put him on your "ignore" list, as he stated. He has nothing to say anyway. This is the 24H2 awful thread and to tell you the truth, it is anything but awful. Mine is running solid on a unsupported PC. A lot better than Win 10.

@cereberus is a long time regular, and a friend.

We're just two old farts, having a minor disagreement. Nothing to get worked up about.
