If your windows are in good condition, taking steps to improve their efficiency may be the most cost-effective option to increase the comfort of your home and save money on energy costs. There are several things you can do to improve the efficiency of your existing windows:
First look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying new windows. Then review ratings on the energy performance label from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to find the most efficient windows for your needs.
Having many apps, programs, web browsers, and so on open at once can slow down your PC. Having a lot of browser tabs open at once can also slow it down quite a bit. If this is happening, close any apps, browser tabs, etc., that you don't need and see if that helps speed up your PC. If it doesn't seem to help, restart your PC and then open just the apps, programs and browser windows you need.
The differences are not very big, but I think it makes the whole OS feel much more fluent. I personally think the way windows open by scaling instead of appearing from the background, to fit way better with the other current Windows 11 animations but let me know your opinion.
Windows Hello enables users to sign in to their device using a PIN. How is a PIN different from (and better than) a local password?On the surface, a PIN looks much like a password. A PIN can be a set of numbers, but enterprise policy might enforce complex PINs that include special characters and letters, both upper-case and lower-case. Something like t758A! could be an account password or a complex Hello PIN. It isn't the structure of a PIN (length, complexity) that makes it better than an online password, it's how it works. First, we need to distinguish between two types of passwords: local passwords are validated against the machine's password store, whereas online passwords are validated against a server. This article mostly covers the benefits a PIN has over an online password, and also why it can be considered even better than a local password.
First, it seems as though you can leave the "use HDR" option enabled at all times, including the desktop. With Windows 10 if you left HDR enabled on the desktop, it would mess with everything making things washed out and generally unappealing. While I don't know what is happening under the hood, this is no longer an issue on 11, the desktop looks great whether HDR is enabled or disabled. Secondly, the auto HDR and auto HDR enabling in games is working properly. With the "Use HDR" option on, windows will automatically ensure HDR is on when you launch a game, and with Auto HDR on, supported games will be upscaled, and unsupported games will display SDR, again without having to toggle it every single time.
I've tried KillCopy 2.85 and I can say only one - this is a powerful copy software which can replace a windows file copy on 100%. May be the best from alternatives that i've tested for now. File transfer is very fast. KillCopy is the fastest software and can copy files with 40 MB/s.Reasons for my choise is simple - KillCopy works fine on all Windows platforms without meanwhats is architecture - 32 or 64 bits.
You need to figure out whether the software you are currently depend on will run on the new platform and if yes would it be crippled in any way? Personally, I have windows, macs and linux experience, and from a software development point of view linux gives the best experience, because almost everything is pre-packaged and easy to install. If you depend on commercial software that is not available on linux, that is another issue. Apple has weird choices, for examle: macOS 10.15: Slow by Design
So my question is the following:Is it better * to install Ubuntu and use a Windows 10 Virtual machine when needed or to use Windows 10 ans an Ubuntu VM running most of the time on it ?
Every time I install ubuntu as a main I spend ridiculous amounts of time just trying to get it to work as good as it does in a VM with some drivers making it unstable, run slower and not to mention wasting a truckload of my time. And then hoping to open windows in a VM to run a game or something CPU or GPU intensive, how can I expect it able to run well when the host OS can't even use the hardware properly.
You can only run the VM at 60hz which is a downside however, somehow the mouse movement is still buttery smooth typing is responsive even if the app windows inside only refresh at 60hz. (don't ask me how this is working)
Another plus is when you need to say run several versions of PHP and apache and maybe an android app you can easily just do it all. I've still haven't found a way to hot-swap apache and PHP and MySQL on ubuntu at all let alone as easily as windows can.
Or maybe you need DirectX for some game development project on the side or many other scenarios where ubuntu just can't do it without up to a week of stuffing around and it's not going to run as fast if windows is inside the VM under Ubuntu.
And then when you feel like a break, just suspend your VM and open AAA game titles running at max capacity, 144hz with free sync and all your custom gear working perfectly because is all run faster in windows albeit at the cost of an extra gig of ram being used meh.
I have 16g/ram and I give 10g to the VM and windows still has enough for steam downloads, discord and a heap of other game launchers downloaders and even a web server running in background tasks to run while I'm working in the VM.
Vbox is better if you're not fussed about graphical performance, don't want ubuntu's animations and want to frequently switch between windows and fullscreen Ubuntu with host key shortcuts. Plus it also has snapshots feature where u can save the machine at multiple stages and just boot up a previous state if something goes wrong. ( if Vbox had the same Graphical performance as Vmware I wouldn't consider VMware at all )
I am in need of advice. I have been rendering on SketchUp for years using Windows, but recently thought about switching to a Mac. Does anyone have some input on this? I am rendering interior and exterior spaces for interior design purposes and have a Pro license. I am wanting to upgrade and start using V Ray. Which would be better for my needs?
If you opt for a Windows machine and especially if you are thinking of a desktop machine, you might consider having something built. You can get better components for a lower dollar investment and they tend to be upgradeable.
Because all new Macs have AMD GPUs, I would say for this specific need, a Windows machine would be better, specifically one with an NVIDIA card, as that is what VRay likes for rendering. Otherwise, macOS is far superior in pretty much every way to Windows.
yes there should be a plugins tab on the sidebar just like assets. this is much easier to access than having it popup in an external window in front of my work each time. having the plugins organized on the left sidebar and then i can click through them is much better
Thanks Bob I have stuck with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" model for this one. I didn't make it to the end and was struck by the better CPU, the 4090, and the fact with that workstation he's using DLSS and the initial frame rate comparison was a nothing burger. Does it get any better? I truly have perfect performance now, everywhere, so no way I would change to Win 11 and jeopardize that.
I have been using a macbook pro with maschine for years, but recently have been having a lot of crashes with it randomly, so it stifled my productivity. I decided to just move everything over to my work laptop which is a pretty good Dell laptop running windows 10, and while its more stable (no crashes yet!) it sounds worse than when it's hooked up to the MacBook... Like there's less bass, almost a weird EQ setup and a very very barely noticeable slight bit of an echoey sound or something..
... switch the USB to the windows machine, same headphones, same headphone jack, same spotify track, same volume, it sounds worse. If it's all I had I might not even notice, but comparing them back to back it is definitely different.
I don't use Mashine but Traktor. I have windows installed on my MacBook Pro and was shocked to find out that my laptop doesn't heat up and have the fans spinning on windows as much like it does on Mac OS. lol.
Headphone Jack on the Mk3 - using it as an audio interface via USB on both mac and windows. When connected to windows it sounds noticeably worse than when connected to the mac. Hard to notice until you compare them right after each other, then it sounds super obvious (to me)
Just a quick question, which one is better for gaming specifically? Went to a couple of sites, and they all have mixed reviews. Looking to see what you guys think. I cannot install the normal windows 11 due to my cpu not being supported (ryzen 5 2400g)
Agree. Keep windows 10. The only reason I use windows 11 is for the window snapping on top and bottom half of my screen with WIN+Z on my vertical monitor. And even for that you could use a program to do it.
TBH going and making sure you don't have random programs on startup is probably enough to have a good experience on windows 10. IMO it is not worth the potential instability or time spent figuring out what exactly to debloat. I doubt you would have enough measurable impact to justify it.
