Windows 11 Support Thread

Sleep on windows have always sucked, so I disable it for all machines while they are connected to power. I let them hibernate when I close the lid.
I've never had that issue, though, and to be honest, it does sound like it's something specific to the apps you run.
So I ran the Windows Reliability Monitor and this is consistent across the days and also around the same time the issues I experience. I am not sure if it is the cause but at least a good place to start. Now to figure out which Dell Software it is attached to. A quick search seems to show SupportAssist. I do use Dell Command Update for drivers. Can I safely disable Support Assist in System Services ?

First thing I do with a new laptop is uninstall ALL that crap and 3rd party apps. Dell this & Dell that ... BE GONE!

Im running 3 machines on W11 ... never seen your taskbar issue my side ....
I also use sleep function every day few times a day ... no problems :thumbsup: ... click mouse, fill in password, 2 seconds later continue where you left everything ;)

So I have disabled some of the Dell Services and so far no taskbar or edge freezes.....

My Precision is running a lot better since I disabled the Dell stuff and started updating the drivers manually instead. My company issued Precision is still subject to all the management software and crashes regularly.
 
Laptop keeps freezing up on windows login screen after sleeping.
Have turned off hibernate after googling, and it makes no difference.
I desperately do not want to format and re-install.
 
Well I just found another wonderful bug in Explorer / OneDriver

Whenever you try to rename a file or folder set up with OneDrive, it selects all the text. So activated the rename tool in PowerToys and that stopped it from autoselect all the text.

Doing a search this issue been around for quite some time.

Think the whole name has been autoselected when renaming since before XP, normal things.
 
If anyone has the need for this to update to 24H2


Microsoft has been hard at work playing whack-a-mole by removing the ability to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. However the developer of the third-party tool Rufus has been hard at work finding ways to allow people to dodge them. Now, Rufus has gotten even better as it gains the ability to perform an in-place update to Windows 11 24H2 while skipping the system requirements.

If you're on an older version of Windows 11 and want to upgrade to 24H2 on unsupported hardware, you may have noticed that the upgrade system performs another system requirements check and deems your PC unfit. Fortunately, as noted in the Rufus 4.6 beta release patch notes, the tool now lets you perform an in-place upgrade without needing to fit the system requirements. The update also allows local accounts to have passwords that don't expire.

If you're using unsupported hardware and you're worried that 24H2 will make your PC even slower, don't fret. In fact, you may experience the opposite effect; people are reporting that Windows 11 24H2 runs better, even on unsupported hardware. And if this is the first time you've heard of this handy tool, check out how to create a bootable drive with Rufus - it's one of the main tools people use to dodge Windows 11's strict requirements.
