I will keep using 8.1 for as long as it keeps working (I have 4 'lifetime' licences). If it stops working one day then I will consider using an alternative. Just wondering if there will be any more updates for 8.1 because there hasn't been any for ages now? Not to worry, as long as it still...

Yes, they do seem to be having a lot of updates lately. And, this is driver update number 4 (or is it 5?) where the NVIDIA tray icon won't stay disabled as I posted about several driver versions back. I also posted about this on the NVIDIA forums at the time but so far there's no fix. Perhaps...

Thanks neves. However, after reading about all of the problems people are having with this latest driver on the NVIDIA Forum... GeForce GRD 572.16 Feedback Thread (Released 1/30/25) (scroll down) ... I think I'll stick with the previous 566.36 driver for now (I've restored a Macrium Image...

Used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to remove the old driver then installed the new one (572.16) and it still does the same thing. Oh, well... I'll just have to live with it. Not really a big issue seeing as I use the Standard User Account in Windows 11 99 percent of the time and...

Thanks KevTech. I've updated the driver on 2 desktop PC's so far and I have the same issue with both. I always select the 'NVIDIA Graphics Driver' option (not 'NVIDIA Graphics Driver and NVIDIA App') then 'Custom' (Advanced) then I untick everything except 'Graphics Driver' and tick 'Perform a...

Updated to 572.16 and the first thing I've noticed is the NVIDIA notification tray icon keeps 're enabling' itself after a reboot (I've always disbled it after updating the driver - I don't like 'clutter' in the notification area). I've disabled it several times in the NVIDIA Control Panel but...

That picture (and several others) was taken by a passenger on the Carpathia the morning after the sinking. Lifeboats of the Titanic Top right picture:

Oh, that will NEVER go away... just like the "Get Started" icon and the "Recommended" section on the Start Menu that I (and many other people, I suspect) never use. I hardly use Edge but on the rare occasion that I do then I just ignore it, same with the orange dot that occasionally appears on...

I'm not sure if you guys are joking around or not but just to avoid confusion for anyone who isn't sure - CU means "Cumulative Update" here (the monthly "Patch Tuesday" Windows Updates).

edge://flags/ and look for edge-show-feature-recommendations MS removed that option from Edge some time ago because... well... (I assume) lots of people were using it.

Thanks for this thread guys. My next door neighbour is having the same problem with a PC he recently bought with Windows 11 installed. The sound through his connected speakers suddenly stopped working yesterday and he can't work out why. After seeing this thread I'm betting his audio output...

Updated one of my PC's so far with no problems Yes, when I saw that I had a momentary sense of dread as memories came flooding back of Microsoft's infamous GWX (Get Windows 10) campaign from nearly 10 years ago. It was a long, hard battle to evade the constant nags and other tactics that were...

Thanks guys. I decided to go with the MSCONFIG option posted by cereberus. I was thinking about the text only option posted by hsehestedt but that seems a little "old fashioned" these days. The boot screen looks a lot better now and I don't mind that it doesn't fill the screen (it's just 4:3...

This has probably been discussed before but I'm sure if Microsoft wanted to lock out "unsupported" PC's completely they could probably do so. I have a feeling that the workarounds that people are using to install Windows 11 up to and including 24H2 are only possible because Microsoft are still...

Thanks Bree. I had a feeling I'd seen this problem somewhere recently but I couldn't remember where. It was probably your post #985 that I saw in June (I've been lurking and reading the forum for a long time before signing up).
