WINDOWS 11 HAS MAJOR FONT ISSUES (VMWARE)...

22 november 2021:

Yesterday I was in the virtual windows 11 again and trying to optimize performance a bit.

I discovered these performance settings and turned everything off, like font smoothing and shadows under fonts... that can\'t of thing.

Related to themes/visuals, I think I found it via right click start button, and then settings, or systems, and advanced settings and then peformance settings or something.

After clicking \"optimize for performane\".. everything was turned off and I NOTICED:

The TEXT/FONTS became much SHARPER/CRISPIER so this may HELP to avoid shaddyness and vagueness/anti-aliased look.

Thought it was worth mentioning it here.

I am considering installing Windows 11 to a USB drive, even though USB port 2.0 is slow and would make windows loading slow at least the CPU should run it faster because it\'s not in VMWare anymore...

However this laptop most likely does not have TPM 2.0 or any TPM ? very maybe TPM 1.0.

So then I would need a work around for TPM issue...

Not sure what I would run into...

Installing Windows 11 on machine without TPM ? Sounds hard, then again maybe not... I have seen some regedit work arounds.

I was not too impressed with Delphi 10.4 when it comes to GIT...

Akward usage, have to use pop-up menu and then click git and then click commit.

3 clicks at least... and then all it does is git add . and git commit.

Hmmm two little commands done automatic... mhoaw.. maybe not worth the trouble ! =D

But then at least I would have a good working Delphi IDE and maybe I can test windows 11 so more... not sure if I want too.

Another thing on my mind is the broken 3D chip... not sure if the installation of windows 11 will work with a broken 3D chip.

That would be an interesting TEST though.

But that reminds me... first I wanted to try and see if there is a special graphics driver for this build in INTEL GPU into the CPU...

Maybe that will give back some 3D possibilities like running 3D games again or at least get some visuals instead of just black screen in some games.

Bye for now,
Skybuck.

TWO WORDS: TOTAL DISASSTER

THE DEFAULT FONT RENDERING IS COMPLETELY FUCKED UP.

EVERYTHING IS SMALL, VAGUE AND WASHED OUT, HARD TO READ.

THE CRISPINESS OF WINDOWS 7 IS COMPLETELY GONE.

I CAN EVEN FEEL A SLIGHT HEADACHE... COULD BE FROM TOO LITTLE SLEEP.

I NOTICED THIS VAGUENESS FROM THE START BUT DISMISSED IT AS SOME KIND OF SCALING ISSUE IN VMWARE OR LACK OF SCREEN RESOLUTION BUT NOW THAT I HAVE UPPED THE SCREEN RESOLUTION TO HIGHER SETTINGS IT\'S BEING APPERENT TO ME THAT WINDOWS 11 HAS A GIGANTIC FLAW/ISSUE.

MY SPECULATION ABOUT THIS IS THE WAY THE OS RENDERS THE ENTIRE GUI, IT MAY BE RENDERING IT/UPSCALING IT TO WORK ON 4K SCREENS.

THIS DOESN\'T WORK ON LOWER SCREEN RESOLUTIONS AND IS A COMPLETE DISASSISTER.

I NOTICED THE VGA ADAPTER OF VMWARE IS STILL AT 8 BIT, I HOPE THAT MAYBE CHANGING IT TO 32 BIT OR SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT WORK BETTER...

MAYBE CHANGING THEMES MIGHT HELP.

BUT SO FAR IF THIS IS THE FUTURE OF WINDOWS, THEN WINDOWS ENDS RIGHT HERE.

I WOULD NEVER EVER USE SUCH A HORRIBLE LOOKING OPERATING SYSTEM.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA\\HAHAHAHAHAHA BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOWN THE TUBE.

I HOPE ON REAL HARDWARE IT WORKS BETTER, OTHERWISE SOMEBODY DEEP IN MICROSOFT SCREWED THEM/BILL OVER REAL HARD.

PERHAPS PAYBACK FOR CORONA CRISIS.

SEE YA !

BYE,
SKYBUCK.

So don\'t use it. It\'s just like every other Windows upgrade. It\'s
marginally better, there\'s no hurry to get there. Applications do not
require it, so you don\'t either.




The only reason I upgraded from XP to Win 10 was because Turbo Tax
needed it. I don\'t even know why TT would need anything special in Win
10. Makes me think that some of the companies get together just to
force upgrades. From what I am hearing many of the old computers will
not even run Win 11. Forcing people to buy new computers.

The only thing I run from MS is the Office progrm. Mainly for the
spread sheet and Outlook just because i am familiar with those and do
not want to learn a new program for simple stuff.

TT should work on Win7; with all of the problems JUST getting Win10
even slightly useful aint worth the fuss (took me weeks).

Turbotax says it will not work on Win7 now. I did not have a Win 7 or 8
computer, but bought a win 7 used off ebay and used the free win 10
update just to run TT when they quit with win XP. I only ran win 7 just
long enough to get it on the internet and down win 10. Never ran win 8
so can not say good or bad about those 2.

From the TT web pages

2021: Windows 8.1 or higher (Windows 8 not supported)
2020: Windows 8 or higher (Windows 7 not supported)
2019: Windows 10, Windows 8.0/8.1. Although TurboTax 2019 will install
on Windows 7 (Service Pack 1 or later), we strongly recommend upgrading
your operating system before installing
