Got a link to verify that claim?

I googled it, Windows 11 will hobble gaming performance by default on some prebuilt PCs

Only effects off the shelf new PCs allegedly, you can turn off the memory protection anyway and if enabled by default on OEM machines, it seems the only issue would be turning it off in settings? That's if OEMS selling gaming PCs even enable it in the first place as it's intended for corporate environments and maybe the security obsessed user.

Slightly different take on it here Microsoft VBS apparently cripples gaming performance in Windows 11 even on supported CPUs

My question is this,, how many devices did they test to come to those conclusions? I'm doubtful of the accuracy of those claims.

Well it seems that Microsoft don't want anyone to have a crash experience in Windows 11 according to the support agent. Windows 11 is going to the general public soon and the requirements are being enforced to have a no crash experience.

Microsoft isn't going to change the requirements since they don't want anyone to have a crash experience on 11.

Yes, I heard similar:

Reliability. Devices upgraded to Windows 11 will be in a supported and reliable state. By choosing CPUs that have adopted the new Windows Driver model and are supported by our OEM and silicon partners who are achieving a 99.8% crash free experience.

I doubt there would be a crash experience.. the topic is performance.

I'm sceptical over anything posted on the web re Win 11 at the moment, is it really likely that OEM's are going to be able to sell Win11 PC's with worse gaming performance than equivalent hardware on Win10?

Yes, it's about security, performance, and getting new pc. anyways, I think I talk enough. Let's just wait for the 5th

When they test basically one device and come to those conclusions my doubt level is very high. They need to do a lot more testing to prove their claims.

I have read somewhere that MS may change some of their requirements. But MS seems to change their mind faster than a windstorm, so who know. We all will find out on Tuesday.

Calm down everyone, they will fix it. Let's wait for October 5th, we are overthinking everything.

Hi,
Try it yourself and see.

Even though we may be wrong or right about what happens on the 5th, we should just be grateful that we all have a OS to use and that we can use whatever we want either Linux, Windwos 10, Windows 11, or whatever. Let's have a good weekend and peace :)

I've been running games on 11 from the very start and I've not had a single issue.

It's a security feature so yeah if it's not activated by default just wait for the defender popup message to recommend activating enhanced security features on win-11 it will come lol
