Windows 11 experience with CS:GO
My Laptop asked me to update to Win11, i rejected.

Have you experiences with the update to Win11?
Better performance? Worse performance?
Heard about Mouse-problems, and FPS-problems.

there's of course a lot more problems that I've seen my friends had before they downgraded to 10 and that just people on the Internet had in general like game not launching at all or massive input lag as if the game was running windowed even in full-screen which are of course fixable, but why even update if everything works right now? to break it and then fix?

if you don't want windows 11 to ever forcibly be installed on your PC, you can either disable automatic Windows Update (search for guides on the Internet — you need Windows 10 Pro for that so you can access gpedit.msc, if you don't have Pro search for regedit guides of doing so) or you can go to bios and disable TPM if you can, which will make your PC kind of incompatible and maybe they will stop forcing you to update…?

it is better to rollback windows to 8.1
noooo, it's basically worse than 10 in performance, you already can't disable Aero (to bypass DWM which uses forced double-buffering, therefore adding input lag to any windowed application) without too much problems, unlike you can in 7, and FaceIT anticheat for example won't run on it, and also some other programs like Source 2 SDK in case you would some day want to make a map for Dota 2/Alyx/CS:GO if it will ever be ported to Source 2

Probably the overwhelming majority of the "problems" crowd are simply parroting something they read/watched online rather than having any experience of their own.

i've been using Win 11 for a year now.
Overall i like it more in games than Win10; But in CSGO - i don't see any difference between Win10.

The one main issue that i'm having with Win11 is that Nvidia drivers are wonky. Every driver update was a lottery, sometimes new driver just sticks in and everything is fine, sometimes new driver just crashes the games and gets random driver errors on the screen

I have no problems with Windows 11 pro and Faceit Anticheat works fine too. Whether the game now starts 5 seconds faster on Windows 10, I do not really care. (But I personally did not notice) FPS and load times also fit, but that may also be due to the hardware that everyone has installed.

My Hardware:
Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0
12900K @ 5.4 Ghz
3080TI
DDR5

Just skip windows11 and update for windows 12.
Nutsnut Feb 15, 2023 @ 2:53am 
I had slightly better FPS and productivity benchmarks in windows 11 compared to win 10, tha was the main driver in switching.

There has been no down sides
