Brings back memories!
Didn’t it also max out at something ridiculous like 8.6? To “keep room for better hardware in the future”?
it maxed out at 5.9 at first, then it was raised to 7.9 for Win7 and 9.9 for the rest. TIL it’s still a thing, I thought it started and ended with Vista: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool
The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”
Windows 11 will soon let you know why
your PC hardwareWindows 11 sucks.Imagine your car does this too: “Beep Bop. Too slow. Car needs a new engine and tire.”
Not really even accurate though. It’s more like “buy a new car”.
It would be really nice if upgrading the engine was something the average person could just do. That’s feasible on EVs, but I’m guessing manufacturers and regulators block it.
No, you can do it.
Can I take a Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt and throw on a second motor? Can I add some additional battery capacity in the back?
In theory, yes, of course. It won’t bolt right in, obviously.
Seems like a way to push hardware sales
MS doesn’t really sell much hardware though…
What are you talking about? Most people buy from major manufacturers, so another hardware sale means another Windows sale.
Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.
Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon
Can. Are they?
Just discussing potential.
They sell bogus certification for others hardware though.They used to, not relevant today. Sorry.
Do they? This is the first I’m hearing about this.
Looks like my info is pretty out of date, they stopped charging a long time ago.
Ms will be paid handsomely by intel and nvidia to push their hardware and ignore competition. Kinda like intel has always done make their cpus seem and benchmark better.
This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.
But it can’t even give me a descriptive error message as to why it won’t accept my password change. Huh.
(Minimum password age, really?)
Windows 11 won’t let me know anything. Ever since I was able to get Final Fantasy XIV to run on my Debian laptop, I have not had Windows on any of my computers.
Ever since i was able to play system shock one for the first time and monhun world stopped bsoding on my fedora, i won’t experience this feature either.
bsoding
If you’re getting BSOD on Linux, you run goofed somewhere.
Oh you mean like Windows 7 did
I wonder if it’ll handle e-cores better than Task Manager.
Overall, it’s reporting 20% CPU usage. But all P-cores are pinned at 100%. E-cores idle. Of course I’m not CPU bound, I don’t need a better laptop, don’t be silly! And that’s just a Teams call. Fuck teams.

Unfortunately Windows 11 is the only OS to actually implement HDR properly. For that reason alone I still dual boot it with Arch.
I was just wondering why tripple-a games don’t tell you that in the graphics options. Gave cyberpunk another chance with a newer pc and it was hard to dial in the right settings. It’s weird to me that they put a lot of effort into the games itself but don’t care how it will be experienced. Stating bottlenecks and recommendations for demanding settings would go along way i think.
Don’t most games list their recommended and minimum system requirements? Wouldn’t also Task Manager or something similar suggest what the bottleneck is?
Yeah but “recommend” could mean anything? Is that 60fps at full ultra or 30 at high? It’s often quite a bit of trial and error to dial in a good compromise on lower spec pcs
It’s incredibly hard to properly assess your PC’s capabilities just from some hardware specs. You need an actual benchmark for that, which takes time and usually slows the machine to a crawl
Can it tell why the currently running OS sucks tho?
Honestly, not a bad feature for once. I have seen people build (or get others to build for them) the weirdest fucking systems.
Now, the question will be, will they actually keep it around this time? This was a feature they introduced in Vista, and soon after killed.
FEED ME, SEYMORE!
