Brings back memories!
Didn’t it also max out at something ridiculous like 8.6? To “keep room for better hardware in the future”?
it maxed out at 5.9 at first, then it was raised to 7.9 for Win7 and 9.9 for the rest. TIL it’s still a thing, I thought it started and ended with Vista: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool
The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”
Windows 11 will soon let you know why
your PC hardwareWindows 11 sucks.This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.
Imagine your car does this too: “Beep Bop. Too slow. Car needs a new engine and tire.”
Not really even accurate though. It’s more like “buy a new car”.
It would be really nice if upgrading the engine was something the average person could just do. That’s feasible on EVs, but I’m guessing manufacturers and regulators block it.
No, you can do it.
Can I take a Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt and throw on a second motor? Can I add some additional battery capacity in the back?
In theory, yes, of course. It won’t bolt right in, obviously.
That’s an easy answer. It’s because it’s running Windows 11. Install Linux on it and it won’t suck anymore.
Seems like a way to push hardware sales
MS doesn’t really sell much hardware though…
What are you talking about? Most people buy from major manufacturers, so another hardware sale means another Windows sale.
Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.
Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon
Can. Are they?
Just discussing potential.
They sell bogus certification for others hardware though.They used to, not relevant today. Sorry.
Do they? This is the first I’m hearing about this.
Looks like my info is pretty out of date, they stopped charging a long time ago.
Windows 11 won’t let me know anything. Ever since I was able to get Final Fantasy XIV to run on my Debian laptop, I have not had Windows on any of my computers.
FEED ME, SEYMORE!
Just download more RAM. I don’t see what the big deal is? /s
Unlock more RAM with a monthly subscription, starting at 10 €/month for every GB we disabled for you!
Oh you mean like Windows 7 did
Can it tell why the currently running OS sucks tho?
Ugh I hate this. It could be a list but they’ve got AI or somebody that writes like AI expand each bullet into a useless paragraph.

Unfortunately Windows 11 is the only OS to actually implement HDR properly. For that reason alone I still dual boot it with Arch.
I was just wondering why tripple-a games don’t tell you that in the graphics options. Gave cyberpunk another chance with a newer pc and it was hard to dial in the right settings. It’s weird to me that they put a lot of effort into the games itself but don’t care how it will be experienced. Stating bottlenecks and recommendations for demanding settings would go along way i think.
Don’t most games list their recommended and minimum system requirements? Wouldn’t also Task Manager or something similar suggest what the bottleneck is?
Yeah but “recommend” could mean anything? Is that 60fps at full ultra or 30 at high? It’s often quite a bit of trial and error to dial in a good compromise on lower spec pcs
