Did they ever fix the bug with high polling rate mice where the computer would become extremely non responsive if you tried dragging a window? I used Windows 11 for 6 months and they wouldn’t fix that issue, so I wiped it clean and installed Windows 10.
Comment on Is Windows 11 decent yet?

It’s fine for Windows. I highly recommend coughing up the money for the pro version so you actually control some of the OS, since MS decided to remove things like the group policy editor from regular users. You’ll need that if you don’t want Windows shoving updates down your throat all the time.
I like the UI more then Windows 10. I don’t know why reddit had such a hard on for 10 but 11 is much faster and more responsive than 10 was.

Is polling rate the same as dpi? If so I can test it later today because my nose has adjustable dpi.

No, it’s different. The polling rate is how frequently the mouse reports its movement to the OS. What was happening was when you drag a window around the screen, it was drawing the desktop each time the mouse reported back to the OS, 1000Hz, which was apparently too much for my 3080TI to handle.
Razer Synapse lets you change the polling rate, so I was able to lower it to the standard 10Hz and workaround this issue, but I bought an expensive mouse because I wanted more precise mouse movement for gaming.

Windows is always faster and more responsive once you reinstall it, it doesn’t matter the version lol. I’m due for a proper nuking myself, now that I think about it.

It still gets slower with time? I remember how it used to do that in the 90s too, and you had to reinstall once in a while to get your speed back. Lol.

Maybe I’m just lucky, but I have not experienced Windows 10 or 11 getting slower with time at all.
