May 10May 10 Anyone enabled it in Windows 11 and have any thoughts and comments on it? I've just enabled it and am testing to see if there is any benefit or advantage to be had, but wondering what thoughts you may all have. Edit. Just after posting it caused MSFS24 to completely crash and needed a restart. Suffice to say I won't be trying it again until there is more information and stability. Even worse - It turned off HDR on reboot and it now won't turn back on again, so now I'm going to have to figure that out - HDR did come back on second reboot but had to use the Windows callibration tool to get it set up properly again. From what I can gather from a video I watched yesterday, performance improved across a number of titles (though not MSFS2024) and it disables a number of background services that are not required for gaming to improve performance. The guy was using an RTX4070, but as everyones system is different and I'm using an RTX5080 I thought it might be worth checking it out.

May 10May 10 I don't think I've noticed that option on my Win 11 PC. Is it in the graphics settings of Windows (eg. where the Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling is? Because I just see these two options:- Or is this "Xbox mode" buried somewhere else?

If not you have to enable it as per the instructions.
