Standard procedure for proper Gaming is not to multi-task it. Whatever your resources may report. There's so much more going on in the back-end that effects the entire Game. It's not just Chrome (which is a culprit on its own), Discord or any other process or service.For those using Windows 11:
Have any of you noticed memory-related issues? i seem to be having an issue with memory management, whereby after gaming for roughly an hour, I start to experience lower frames and poor system performance.
I've been playing some Ghost Recon Breakpoint (for about an hour) and now Warzone for maybe an hour and I'm sitting at 80% Memory usage (Warzone, Discord, Chrome running). Warzone usage is reported at 4,547MB. I have 16GB, and total memory usage is sitting at 12,5GB. this seems excessive for one Chrome, the game and discord. Nothign else is reported as using much memory.
Possible memory leak issues with the OS itself? Never had this issue with Windows 10.
Have you tried just installing it via ISO?I have a amd Ryzen 3 3200g, 16gb ddr4 ram and more than enough hdd space. Windows insider tells me my pc is not compatible. Any reason why?
Technically true and very applicable 15 years ago. These days multitaksing isn't an issue, especially with the increased cores and memory available to systems.Standard procedure for proper Gaming is not to multi-task it.

It's not Windows related. It's user related
Games are intended to be a Full Screen Task. Not a Window to switch back forth to. Even Windowed Gaming is for convenience. Itself not intended for multitasking.
A process or service is not 'sandboxed' or a virtualized entity. Each process can communicate with any other process.
Just because you see explorer.exe and steam.exe and chrome.exe doesn't mean they can't 'talk' to each other.
It's called IPC.
Interprocess communications - Win32 apps
The Windows operating system provides mechanisms for facilitating communications and data sharing between applications. Collectively, the activities enabled by these mechanisms are called interprocess communications (IPC).docs.microsoft.comInter Process Communication (IPC) in OS

You will never know what it thinks. Ever.
Close what you don't need. Especially when Gaming.
Does it tell you why it isn't compatible? My guess is you have TPM disabled in the BIOS. You'll find it under the Security tab in the BIOS - enable it, set it to TPM 2.0 and you should be good to go.I have a amd Ryzen 3 3200g, 16gb ddr4 ram and more than enough hdd space.

You can't deduce that. As I said. There's many different aspects at play. It's far apart from resource usage, as you clearly see.Technically true and very applicable 15 years ago. These days multitaksing isn't an issue, especially with the increased cores and memory available to systems.
As I said, I never had this issue on Windows 10, I do have it on Windows 11. No change in hardware, so it isn't a hardware issue. It's a Windows-related issue.
Agree. TPM will break the deal for many current Windows users if it's a requirement in RTM.Microsoft gained a shite ton of publicity with the release and TPM queries blown up by the media, which I think was the primary goal as the added features and changes could easily just have been a win10 update.
Apparently the only real difference between 10 & 11 is hardware base optimization..... M$ just wants to forget older hardware exists the way they did with vista. Only this time the support window is MUCH smaller and that is going to backfire for them.Microsoft gained a shite ton of publicity with the release and TPM queries blown up by the media, which I think was the primary goal as the added features and changes could easily just have been a win10 update.
You speak like a guy running a low-end rig who cannot conceive of the actual capabilities of modern hardware.You can't deduce that. As I said. There's many different aspects at play. It's far apart from resource usage, as you clearly see.
The types of Games you referenced weren't designed to be background tasks. However you spin it. Not even on your Quantum Rig in 2035.
Not sure, it did work fine for me, though with a bit of a delay.This is what is 'supposed' to appear when you click on the Widgets icon on the taskbar:

However, when I DO click on it, this is all that appears - an opaque window with clickable areas (the cursor changes to the hand icon when you move it around there) - but NO info widgets data is visible.

Any ideas on whether this is just a 'technical' glitch or a bug? I have done the latest update to the latest W11 Insider Preview.

/forwards illegal tpmer device id to ms.Hi Everyone, I have just installed Windows 11 on my 10 year old Laptop. It does not support TPM 2.0 nor does it have Secure Boot. I found a workaround last night and installed this morning.View attachment 1107518
I updated from Window 10 and kept all my personal files and installed Software, Office 2019 etc, it worked seamlessly. The changes to the original ISO are approx One Mb and it takes seconds.

What does your page file look like then? Task manager, memory, bottom left is says committed, cached, paged pool and non-paged pool.For those using Windows 11:

That's not needed in a modern system, you're talking about a few MB of RAM, and most of the other stuff doesn't really matter, your PC will not be creating an index while you're gaming unless you just installed windows, windows defender scans generally only trigger on adding and opening new files, so shouldn't impact performance.I use gamefire (paid) for this.
I'll take donations to modernize my three current potatoes.That's not needed in a modern system, you're talking about a few MB of RAM, and most of the other stuff doesn't really matter, your PC will not be creating an index while you're gaming unless you just installed windows, windows defender scans generally only trigger on adding and opening new files, so shouldn't impact performance.
Those tools used to be useful when systems had in the few hundred MB of RAM, an intel graphics that shared memory and a 2C or something, not with modern 4/6/8 cores and 16GB+ RAM.
