Is this the problem you’re seeing @Nimatek?

Known issues with Build 22000.51
Taskbar:
Taskbar will not be shown across multiple monitors but will return in an upcoming build.

So if I’m gaming full screen on my main monitor, I can’t see any taskbar/taskbar icons on the secondary monitor? Does Alt-Tabbing still work to allow you to get to your other open apps on the second screen?

Yeah you can enable the taskbar on other screens but it is just a bar and no icons.

You can alt tab on main screen. So if you play a game and run apps on a 2nd screen make the app screen your main and set the game as the option al screen. Then you will be fine.

From the Ryzen 1000-series or 7th Gen Kaby Lake range and earlier CPUs remain unlisted as being compatible for Windows 11. They will not be getting an official upgrade to Win 11. Unsurprisingly, two thirds of that announcement post is just MS pushing people to buy new PCs that do run Win11 under the pitch line “There’s never been a better time to purchase a new PC”. Frikken shills!

So… Are they gonna ask if you want it, or are they gonna just tell you they’re shoving it down your throat?

I am SO glad I turned off secure boot on the latest laptops I sent out.

I’ll maybe install it on a VM once it releases, but thus far I’m not excited for it at all.

I’m generally not too slow to upgrade to the latest Windows but with the past could of releases since Windows 7, there was usually something holding me back.

  • With Windows 8 it was the Start Menu, but I upgraded once Stardock released their Start menu.
  • With Windows 10 it was the forced automatic updates and automatic restarts, but upgraded once there was a way to disable it. Although I still lost work because Windows managed to bypass the “disablement” and would sometimes even restart while I was busy working.

With Windows 11, I don’t know. There was a couple of issues that I didn’t really care for, but I’d have to look at the comparison videos again. Thus far I’m not that keen on upgrading. I’m probably reloading my PC in December since it has been about 3 years since I last reset it… Windows 11 has until then to whoo me or I’ll just be reinstalling Windows 10.

Looks like 8th gen and up. I’ve never been so happy to support a bunch of out of date hardware :laughing:

More reason for me to upgrade to a 8th gen I suppose. Luckily they are quite cheap second hand.
