Hi Bob, I just loaded the image into Photoshop and enlarged the compass to full screen to measure and you are right and I am wrong. Now I know why I never won a dime when I entered the Littlewoods Football Coupon Spot the Ball competition! There was me convinced that the postman was making off to the Bahamas with my winnings.

I should sue Specsavers!

Ha! Ha!  No problem Pete.  I did a similar thing recently; our perception can deceive us sometimes.

BTW I have also lost circa 10fps thanks to the current release of Win 11

How odd, the sides were never clipped for me with Win 10 and all dials were perfectly circular.

Looks like you are in window mode, full screen mode should fix the distortion

You need an HDR monitor/TV. 

When I turn on HDR, it becomes a lot dimmer and a lot more white...Is that normal?

What monitor have you got?

With my Samsung CHG70, which is HDR 600 (nits), I never had a satisfying experience: dull colors, bad blacks... I just leave HDR off. It's the first HDR monitor released and has only 8 local dimming zones.

A good HDR monitor would have 1000 nits peak brightness and 384 or more local dimming zones. OLED would be ideal of course.

As far as I know, both the HDR technology and its Windows implementation leave much to be desired. The situation is better with high end TVs and consoles.

That’s only HDR400. Waste of time for MSFS, you’re better off wit h a good calibrated monitor. You really need HDR1000 and /or oled.

I have always had MSFS selecting Full Screen mode (within the programme) and resolution set in Nvidia and Win 11 to 3440 x 1440 so I cannot think of anything else to check?

I remember back when Windows 10 was new, Windows update would hassle you and even download a big update file in hopes that you would then run that Win10  installation. I recall repeating steps from time to time to stop that process because I wanted to keep Win 7.

Some people may not want Windows 11 and are looking for an easy way to prevent Windows from hassling them to install it. I think if you turn TPM off in Bios then Windows Update will consider your computer not Win 11 compliant and then stop hassling you about Windows 11.

To check if TPM is turned on, type “tpm.msc” in the Start run box. It needs to be version 2.0 or higher for Win 11.

Most retail computer systems have TPM turned off in Bios by default. You have to turn it on to qualify as win 11 compliant. Normally you also have to set TPM to 'firmware' instead of 'hardware' in BIOS. Because most motherboards have TPM in firmware instead of hardware. Or you may want to leave TPM off so that Windows Update will not try to continually nudge you to switch to 11.

Bios has a search box feature and TPM can be called TPM or PTT (intel bios) or fTPM (AMD bios). So you search for those to find the switch.

Confirmed 👍 

Will keep 10 until they fix the taskbar functionality and a workaround for the performance loss due to "security" measures is available.

Thanks Mr. Fuzzy I think I will stick to Windows 10 for at least a year!

EDIT: I changed the TPM option in BIOS from 'firmware' to 'discreet'. Since my motherboard has no discreet TPM hardware, then my computer now has no TPM (Since I turned that switch in BIOS). If I had left it at 'firmware' then Windows update would see my system as ready for Win 11, which I don't want.
