@TheBobPony The problem is VM video driver. Usually it’s just a low resolution timer not clocked for steady 60 fps nor host vsync

@thebookisclosed Community notes: StartIsBack used to have as-is Win7 menu in 2012. StartAllBack used to have as-is Win10 taskbar in 2021.

@unixterminal Raspberry Pi with 4GB of RAM seems like fair target

@ClintRutkas Absolutely incomprehensible amount of resources and technologies used and duplicated just to show an edit bar. Yeah you can be proud of 94ms of hot path...

@cmuratori Classic Run dialog is instant since 1995. If it regressed to 100+ms it is due recent dark mode kludges and GDI regressions

@phantomofearth It was always possible to specify any pause date in registry

Fortnite creator Tim Sweeney and Elon Musk want Microsoft to bring back the vertical taskbar and stop forcing the Microsoft account in Windows 11.

Microsoft is facing the heat as the company keeps pushing Copilot and other AI features.

Recently, Microsoft confirmed it’s adding “Ask Copilot” to the Windows 11 taskbar. It’s also testing “agentic” features for the operating system.

Microsoft’s Windows boss has promised the company deeply cares about power users and is listening to feedback.

Looks like the most overengineered dark mode Win32 common controls are coming in Canary at least
