Do you believe Microsoft is going to rebrand Windows 10 to something else?

  2. No chance, they are going to cling to the "Windows 10" brand for as long as they can.

    Dropping 32bit os is really about dropping 16-bit support. 64-bit os still runs 32-bit programs. Every cpu made in like the last twenty years can run 64bit os.

    Nope. I tried, but either Oculus itself, or video encoding overall is broken, and I need working VR (whole reason I run Windows nowadays :p)

    Specifically, running Oculus (Link with wired and Air with a Quest 2), it will work fine in the headset for exactly 25 seconds, and then become a stuttery mess. Oculus Logs don't indicate anything aside from GPU encoder backup, but no indication as to why (just after 25 seconds, encoder usage in Task Manager drops abruptly). Doesn't seem to happen with Virtual Desktop (the $20 wireless streaming app), and I haven't checked if it affects any other video encoding software (like HandBrake or OBS).

    I have a RX 580, but this happened with both WDDM 3.0 (the UWP driver AMD distributes on WU) and 2.7 (official AMD) drivers, and only on 21996 (Oculus works fine on W10 19041). If anyone is looking to try to reproduce this, here's the quick points:
    • Only saw it happen with Oculus Link and H.264
    • GPU encoder performance drops without obvious reason after 25 seconds of it being initialized
    • Happens with a RX 580 with WDDM 2.7 and 3.0 drivers (unsure of Vega/RDNA1/RDNA2 on AMD, or anything NVIDIA)
    • For free software that uses GPU encoders, HandBrake (video converter) and OBS (recording/streaming) are two that come to mind
    • GPU encoder usage is shown in Task Manager (performance -> GPU tab at the bottom)
    • To reproduce issues: Start something that uses GPU video encoding, and observe performance up to 25 seconds, and beyond that

    I downloaded untouched ISO to my Surface Pro 4 and it updated quickly and without incident. I was actually amazed.

    I think a lot of people will be staying or forced to stay with Win 10 for the foreseeable future. This was probably pushed by OEMs who want people and especially companies to buy new computers.

    My current PC runs Win10 amazingly but doesn't support Win 11 because of TPM

    How can we deal with TPM and secure boot? I mean, is there a way to override that requirement?

    Its too early to tell. I think there will probably be work arounds but it won't be officially supported by Windows 11 and it might even cause system instability and problems with future upgrades.

    Hi, would it be possible for someone out there to make an installer for the windows 11 system sounds, that can be used on windows 10.
    Thanks very much.
