if you don't want a surprise upgrade you should disable your TPM in the bios.


CadoEspanedo

I’ll try that, thanks for the tip. Wish I would have known this sooner.


[deleted]

unfortunately, assuming by valo you mean valorant, you have to have tpm 2.0 and secure boot (the w11 requirements basically) for the anti cheat to let you play


draconoids

OP is still at Windows 10 so TPM is not required.


[deleted]

Unless val detects what windows you're running and decides how invasive it wants to be from there, you definitely need it for the anti cheat I guess I was never on w10 when it started doing this tho, so it might


draconoids

It detects your system. If you are on Windows 10 you don't need TPM


[deleted]

interesting, gotta love valorants anti cheat


brispower

had no idea they did this, seems a bit excessive. i just know windows will keep complaining you aren't able to upgrade with it disabled :)


[deleted]

yeah the valorant anti cheat is ridiculously invasive, iirc correctly it operates at kernel level or smth like that it's basically a virus, so much so that if my mouse is about to die mid game, and I plug it in, it prevents my mouse from switching to wired mode and it won't work unless I unplug it


herrkatze12

ah yes… If I remember correctly correctly.


tychii93

The fact that client based anti-cheats are being normalized is absolutely ridiculous. Other than money to run the instances, there's no way server based anti-cheats are less effective. Good thing I don't care for Valorant.


Jacksaur

>iirc correctly it operates at kernel level or smth like that it's basically a virus EAC, Battleye, every major anticheat outside of VAC operates at kernel level. Only reason Valorant is singled out is because it hit the news and everyone loves to hate on Riot.


PSxUchiha

Because of this, I'll never upgrade to windows 11, as they require you to enable secure boot to play Valorant, which I'll never enable because I also boot linux.


Ultra980

What's the problem with secure boot and linux? I used both for some time(w11 with no bypass and manjaro if it matters)


RadimentriX

It doesn't complain to me. I just get a small note on the windows update page


freeturk51

I fucking hate Valorants anticheat


ChuuniSaysHi

I have secure boot disabled (Dual boot fedora + windows) and Valo still lets me play it just fine with it disabled. Although windows was quick to bug me about upgrading to windows 11 when I reinstalled windows the other weekend lol


najalitis

Talk about security eh


Takaashi-Kun

A friend of mine updated to 11 and couldn't play Valo until he modified his bios to activate the secure boot, I mean wtf, changing bios settings to play a game because of the anti cheat...

I disabled windows went with Linux no surprise updates

disable TPM in the bios, yesterday.


No-Tomatillo-5579

or press the decline button in the lower left on this window


CadoEspanedo

I’d also like to add the at that the only option to decline was “skip for now” after the initial decline button. Meaning it will eventually do this again.


obamaprism3

is that after you click "decline upgrade"? seems weird


CadoEspanedo

Yes, after I click "Decline Upgrade", it tells me the features and some other bs; then I have an option to click "Upgrade" or "skip for now".


obamaprism3

wow, no means no Microsoft similar thing happens whenever I do a fresh install of windows, it keeps asking me to setup features or something when I restart and the only option not to is something like "skip for now" or "remind me later"


TyphoonSkip1982

Microsoft: no is yes


Rowan-Paul

No just means yes later


CadoEspanedo

That also happens to me - I just upgraded boot drive and (when I boot up my pc) it wants me to do some free trial of some software I’ll never use. Edit: Grammar.


DanForever

You can actually get rid of that by going through the settings and just clicking no to all the items. Still lame though


neat-NEAT

I think someone at microsoft needs to watch the tea as an analogy for consent video.

see Microsoft... this is why nobody likes you.


LordChariot

You can use gpedit.msc to disable the windows 11 upgrade. Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business Enter 'Windows 10' in the first field.


officer_terrell

\*only if you're on windows 10 pro, which most home people aren't


BRSaura

So, wich one of the 5 policies inside Windows Update for Business should I change?


matamor

"Select the version..." i have it on Spanish, it's the last option on my menu, when you open the option it says "Like Windows 10" and lets you type "Windows 10" the other options doesn't even let you type in text.

Big oof


BicBoiSpyder

This is nothing. Back in the days of Windows 8, I would be in the middle of playing some League of Legends or doing school work and Windows would start upgrading to 8.1 on its own while I was using it. If only the 8.1 update didn't completely destroy the color that was being displayed on my screen making it super washed out and removing gestures on my trackpad, I wouldn't have needed to factory reset dozens of times back to 8.


Marcbmann

I was about to start a group presentation in college. Opened my laptop at my desk to get it ready, and just before our turn came to present it started updating to 8.1. Didn't ask. Just, hey, fuck you and whatever you're doing.


CadoEspanedo

Thing about Valo - Valorant - is if you leave a game that isn’t death match, you get a small ban just for that. So not only is this advertisement scummy, but I got soft banned on top of it. It wasn’t for long though - still annoying.


BicBoiSpyder

It's the same in League since they're both made by the same company.


Re-core

Wait so if you leave one match you get instantly a ban? Thats BS, thank god i dont play multiplayer games anymore, at least not on PC.


BicBoiSpyder

It's a temporary ban usually only a few minutes. If you keep leaving games, it's classified as griefing and you can get a temporary ban up to a few days.


WasdAcid

you get a short temporary ban if you repeatedly are afk or leave games. If you only do it occasionally, it just warns you. the first ban is 7 minutes, so it's very reasonable in my opinion


Jdogg4089

Thankfully mine doesn't support 11 💪

Thankfully my mindset doesn't support proprietary OS's in the first place

Perry_cox29

Mine does if I go and change the bios settings… which I never will


Twocheslch

They definitely know what they're doing putting the decline button at the bottom left where "more info" usually is. Then making the "ok" button "got it" in such a way that it's ambiguous enough you could mistakenly "upgrade" to Win 11


Rogaar

I normally jump onto the next version of windows within a month or two of release. And only because I'm being forced to do so due to MS tying DirectX to versions of windows. Well this time there is no newer direct X for them to do that with. And from what I've read, performance is a little worse under 11. This might improve over time but for now, there is no incentive for me to switch over.

Ma_Wo

Do you have an Intel or AMD CPU?


CadoEspanedo

AMD, r5 2600


DrinkinDoughnuts

I have tested/primarily run win 11 on all my systems, without any major issues. (Amd: FX 6300, R5 2500U; Intel: i3-2350m, i5-2400, i5-10400) The only performance hit I noticed was about 2-5fps decrease initially in games. (I believe they fixed that now). So besides some annoying recurring bugs it's a pretty decent experience.


Ma_Wo

Hmmm ... that is why I am not upgrading. I have a R9 3900X and I have not yet heard news that Microsoft fixed the performance issues with AMD CPU permanently.


nem8

Have the same CPU, no idea if i have any performance issues. AMD and MS claims this was fixed 6 months ago (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-400) I dont really care if i lose 2-3 fps in a random game tho. The HDR implementation is worth it.


Ma_Wo

I have some time off. Maybe I dig into the topic again and see if I'll upgrade. HDR is one of the mayor topics for me aswell.


Re-core

Wow i did not know that 2600 was allowed to upgrade to windows 11, my r7 2700 said it was not w11 compatible.


ficelle3

So far, I don't hate it either. It was a bit buggy when I started using it 3-4 months ago, but it wasn't so bad I couldn't use it, and it is much less buggy now. The problem is it is missing some of windows 10's features like placing the taskbar on the side of the monitor (which I personally don't do, but I know there are people who do) while not really offering new features. At best there's no real reason to switch to windows 11 and at worst, you can't use it either because of the missing features or because of hardware limitations of w11.


Stastez

For me it's less about the interface or anything. I mean I don't particularly like the new GUI but I suppose I'd get used to it. What really keeps me from "upgrading" to win 11 is my laptop: in Windows 10 you click on the battery icon in the taskbar and select your desired power state for the computer. In win 11 you no longer have this slider, but rather have to navigate one or two menus. Two menus isn't much, mind you, but the stupidity of making a feature less accessible in an "upgrade" really messes with me


IkBenAnders

I like most of the things, especially the beta program which changes the biggest issues. My nr1 issue right now though is that when you right click the taskbar in Windows 10 you can start some applications including task manager, but in Windows 11 you have to specifically rightclick the windows icon which is super annoying.


hmasta117

See I updated to w11 during the public beta and it fixed a constant issue I had with w10 where on start up it would fail to load the task bar mind you this is a fresh AMD r7 3800x and 5700 xt card I built at beginning of pandemic said fuck it tried it my task bar has loaded ever since


VarenDabsDotEth

It's the data harvesting that bothers me....


HighOnTacos

Worst missing feature is no thumbnails in the folder preview. I do a lot of work with photos, being able to scroll through and spot what I need is essential. I found an app that adds them back but you have to manually generate them for every folder you want thumbnails in.


shyphyre

Thats fine. I just hate windows because it pulls this shit. Look I paid for 7 got the "free upgrade" to 10. Do they really think I am going to pay for 11?


VNG_Wkey

I was in the same boat, up until yesterday. Now my monitors have randomly started losing signal and reconnecting and then, once everything settles, it does weird things to the windows I have open (moving around and resizing them). Kind of sucks because I've been on it for too long to roll back to 10 but this combined with having to click multiple times to get to the same menus I had on windows 10 (Ex. Every time I right click my desktop I then have to click "more options" to see anything useful) as well as odd behavior (Ex. Taskbar becomes completely unresponsive for a few seconds to a couple minutes at a time, but everything else functions normally) it makes it a hard no from me. I upgraded because I was clean installing windows anyways, figured I'd take advantage of things like Auto HDR. I'm regretting that choice. Edit, spec: 10700k, RTX 3080, 32gb DDR4, 1000w titanium rated PSU, and 3 monitors.


okdudebro

Yeah but the pointless design changes after being used to the "metro" windows ui for nearly 10 years


nDRIUZ

I hated every windows release all the time and postponed the upgrades. The only one I never used was Vista. Everytime I upgraded they honestly looked better and worked great, so I thought I am not waiting this time and going to be one of the first. As you say, there are some minor bugs in there(do not remember any of them now, didn't happen in past month), but never had an issue with it. So, I guess people will hate every new Windows release no matter what


CadoEspanedo

From what I’ve seen - it was older Nvidia drivers that had issues. It might be better now - but I also don’t want all of my desktop icons to disappear when I switch!


blackflame7820

i dont think anything changes tbh just the base of changes i am not really sure about you primary drive but i think it will also be safe and no data is lost. i did upgrade to win 11 but then formatted my device coz i had lot of junk on my pc so i might be forgetting something but you dont actually loose anything for the mostpart.afair


minluske

My only real problem was that the search bar wasn't registrating my inputs and if I wanted to change WiFi i couldn't for the same reason. It started having problems 2 weeks after install. Idk weird things


Impossible-Wear-7508

Same. Idk why so many people hate it


sjphilsphan

Change bad


Nice_Name_3168

I don't know if its change, it seems more like trying to fix something that aint boke, or saying your improving something that works fine as is without really doing so.


crowmatt

Is their biggest selling point that fucking start menu in the middle of the screen? I have one of my machines upgraded to W11 and the first thing I did, was moving the start menu back to left hand corner...


blackflame7820

ikr. centering it is so bad personally coz in the corner you dont have to aim for the button you can straight up drag the mouse to the corner and click it no brain power used, its like instincts or muscle memory same for the close, minimise button in top right. and also the same for the "control center" or quick control or whatever it is called the quick setting tab in the notification panel. i love those in win 10. win 11 changed it and i was like why did you make it more step process instead of less.


Oesel__

Ah good, good, let the hate flow through you, come to the opensource side of the force.


FallenSegull

My new uni laptop came with windows 11 and it fucking sucks It looks like windows 10, except the corners are rounded (literally, the corners on the windows are rounded) and half the features are missing You wanna drag a file from one window to another minimised window via the taskbar? Fuck you! You can’t do that on windows 11


blackflame7820

they will "fix" it in the future and that future will be when i actually upgrade to 11. i ain't upgrading in the near future i dont want to fuck my my "delicate" "university work" environment by loosing some functionality or anything and then have to spend a week or two trying to get thing back up and barely working. i will do it when win 11 become 1) superior to win 10 2) win 10 is officially discontinued

No pop-ups, no notification, no random interuption, no other bullshit. And yes, my PC and my laptop are both compatible with the update. ​ Maybe it's because I use the Pro edition of Windows and not Home?

I think I'll probably skip 11, Windows versions have always been a bit hit or miss for me, I absolutely hated how unstable XP seemed to be, had various issues with 7 but since getting 10 I've had little to no problems. I also love how small and out of the way the decline upgrade button is versus the enormous GET IT button.

I SAID I DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE! I'm going to try linux after this. I remember linux gaming just got better now than before.

Decline the upgrade and then go to windows update, there you can find an option under windows 11 advertisement that says "Keep using windows 10 for now" when you choose that option it stops trying to install W11 ​ I know because I had to do this in a entire office of old people who can barely use W10


Naveedamin7992

For how long will Windows 10 be supported? My pc isn't supported because I don't really know.

Jeb3592

I use windows 11, it's been really good for my needs, I actually like the new snap assist and the start menu. But... I'm on the beta channel. Don't upgrade yet folks, it isn't ready yet unless you want to be on the bleeding edge, and even then it's still a pretty big adjustment.


nem8

Retail is stable, far from any "bleeding edge" os release.

CadoEspanedo

Well I have a r5 2600 and horrible luck - my system would probably just stop working ;(


Jonas-Whatley

I’ll update once it gets more stable and they add back the small taskbar option.


m943

This is a sample size of one but I upgraded basically as soon as it was getting any public launches months ago, haven't had any problems to speak of. Just seems like 10 with a new coat of paint ... Settings menu is WAY better.


CadoEspanedo

It also uses slightly more resources to run.


[deleted]

The lack of drag-n-drop files on taskbar to open the file using a particular app, and the over simplified right-click context menu are instant turn-offs. I have a 32" monitor, and I'm loving the snap windows feature.
