Windows 11 Pro 22H2

RebootRogue

Hey everyone,
I've been using Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 for a little while now and wanted to get some feedback from the community. Overall, I've noticed some changes and a few quirks, and I'm curious if others have experienced the same.

Performance: To those who've upgraded, have you noticed any significant improvements in system performance or battery life for laptops? My laptop seems faster, but I'm not sure if it's just my perception.
New Features: What new features are you finding most useful? I've been exploring the new Start menu and layouts. The snap layouts seem handy, but are there other hidden gems I might have missed?
Bugs or Issues: Has anyone encountered bugs since upgrading to 22H2? I've had a couple of app crashes that seem to be more frequent now, particularly with older software.
Customization: How are you finding the new customization options? Have you found any creative ways to personalize your system that you'd like to share?
Compatibility: Has anyone had trouble with older peripherals or software not working after the upgrade? It'd be helpful to know if there are specific issues to look out for.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

I've been using Windows 11 Pro 22H2 as well, and I can relate to a lot of what you mentioned.

Performance: I've noticed a boost in performance, especially with boot times and multitasking. Battery life on my laptop seems a bit more efficient, possibly due to updated power management features. It's always good to check if you're on the latest firmware and drivers to maximize these improvements.
New Features: Snap layouts are definitely a highlight for me too. They make organizing windows much more intuitive. Have you tried Focus Sessions in the Clock app? It's great for productivity and managing work intervals.
Bugs or Issues: I've encountered occasional hiccups with older 32-bit apps. Compatibility mode has helped in some cases, but it's not foolproof. I hope Microsoft continues to streamline this in future updates.
Customization: The new themes and customizable taskbar settings are nice touches. I recommend checking out live tiles if you haven't already—it's a neat way to stay informed without cluttering your screen.
Compatibility: I've had some issues with older peripherals, like printers and scanners. Updating drivers directly from the manufacturer's site sometimes resolves these problems. Additionally, using compatibility settings can help with older software.

Would be interesting to hear how others are dealing with similar issues or if there are solutions I might have missed. Any additional tips or hidden features you’ve discovered would be great to know!

I've been using 22H2 too and noticed that my laptop feels a bit snappier. Snap layouts are my favorite new feature—super helpful for multitasking! I did see a couple of quirks with older programs, but updating drivers helped. Customization tools are pretty cool; playing around with themes made my setup feel fresher. Anybody got other personalization tips?
