There's your problem mate. Windows doesn't auto restart on crash until after bug checking so it's likely a hardware fault. If you don't see anything in event viewer then Windows itself isn't crashing and its something else.

Kernel power in event viewer, using windbg. It couldn't communicate properly between the directX system file with the watchdog system file. Something about the memory addresses not lining up which caused a video encoder error and made the system crash and reboot. Don't know the nuance behind it but that's what Leo told me.
I don't have access to the dump file, but this is happening on the latest AMD driver. I've had my computer on since 12AM last night and it's nearly 6pm now, hasn't been any crashes, no weird stutters or abnormal behavior while using the previous driver.

"Siri, is $599 less than $899?"

And that's a shitass machine inferior to a PS5.

Isn't 899 dollars price of a PS5 right now? Also 1k dollar consoles will be the norm sooner or later.

But back to topic, here's another minor annoyance about Windows 11. Up to Win10 when you rename a file, it instantly shows the old menu and you can just rename it from scratch. You cannot do it that easily in Win11 and you have to click one extra button for more options or you need to do it through the file properties.

Here's a gaming PC with a GPU equivalent to a PS5:

Win11's file renaming is cancer.

You can use regedit to restore the old right click menu.
 
My Win11 starter pack is almost entirely about making the normal context menu the default, and then cleaning it up.

I repeat myself but the context menu is so central to how the OS "feels" like that it was (still is) probably a big reason why 11 will always feel off to some people. You can do whatever you need to do in the new control panel and then forget about it if you don't like how it looks now, but the Fisher Price context menu will piss you off every single second of your life.

My OCD probably made the transition much easier. Have a cheap USB stick and build these QoL packs for whatever operating systems you use commonly, you'll thank yourself later.

I still use Win 10 and it pisses me off how renamed files are instantly moved wherever they're supposed to be according to sort order. The file remains selected and it can be confusing if the folder contains lots of files. I think you had to manually refresh folder contents to do that in Win 7 and earlier versions.

Send it back to IT. I kept on having BSODs on my last laptop. Just sent it back and made them get me a new one.

It's just that, it happens so intermittently that it'll be weeks/months before it happens then one day it happens but after a reset everything is fine. Maybe the Omnissiah wills it.

funfact too, that right click menu is also regenerated every time you open it, so if your system is under load, it might not even show up or have missing options.

I noticed that you can do much less on 11 using a right click vs a left click. Activating a menu item used to be possible with either button on 10 but is only using the left button on 11.
Also, the shortcut underscores on the Win+X menu often aren't shown on 11 unless you press Esc and try again.

Here's an absolutely horrifying article about how a jeet who's obsessed with OpenClaw has risen through the ranks of Microsoft and is now pushing out what is essentially malware.


There is a nonzero chance that Microsoft ends up deploying "agentic AI" (read - nondeterministic scripting engine) that turns every Windows 11 PC in the world into an infinite attack surface.

So looking into this it appears this is the worl of a Chinaman in Beijing, not a jeet. I was initially very concerned believing this was a jeet working of the the US, but chinks in China have 0 understanding of privacy. I have 0 faith in Microsoft properly filtering their hiring pipeline, but I expect it more over there. (Honestly chinks and jeets are actually very similar in their business culture, we just deal with the chinks less due to the firewall and language barrier)

Its not even a bad PC but its also nowhere near worth $1k, I upgraded from a 6650xt to a 6750xt and its not bad at all but also kind of deliberately gimped at the advertised 1080p resolution so I had to use a 1440p card for 1080p native

A base Rx 6800 is better than the 6750 xt while having 16gigs of Vram for less power draw but I learned that after getting my card and decided tech consumerism was gay and would just he happy with what I have

You can get a used 6750xt on ebay and it will be better for like $200 to $300 and its only like 10 fps less than a 9060 xt and buying used parts is the key to not being jewed for $1k on midrange 2020 era hardware
