Before anyone says it, I already have Fedora in another drive (which I will remove to install windows, dont worry) so no need to suggest linux.

Basically the last time I tried 24H2 was earlier this year from a forced update and it sucked balls, major performance issues in most games. I heard that a fresh install could fix this but I really couldnt be bothered so I reverted and blocked updates. But now thanks to my shitty chinese NVME that died with 30TBW with 2 years of use, I have an opportunity to install windows fresh. Should I even try 24H2 again? Better to install 23H2 offline and block feature updates again?

    I see, how about gaming performance? I might give a try from what you told me but any stuttering would just mean wiping clean for 23h2 tbh

      between the two, maybe margin of error in favour of 24h2?

      Can you tell us the contexts in which you encountered stuttering? Was it just gameplay on its own? Did it involve video playback simultaneously? Maybe streaming gameplay or something like that?

          I see, that could be relevant to the areas above. The Chromium project has at least one high-impact open issue pertaining to Windows multiplane overlay implementation.

          Am I right in presuming you used a chromium derived browser?

              you can disable it via windows registry but it’s not a method I like to recommend, given that it’s a beneficial technology.

                    After several hours of struggling with a ton of stuff, I played MH Wilds with 24H2 and it ran fine? Game’s performance sucks but this isnt any better or worse than 23H2, a win I guess?
