Was: [winfldigi] fldigi freezes when trying to decode anything - MS

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Mike,

Am I a fan of Microsoft? No. Am I a user? Yes, since Windows 3.1 because the organizations I worked for standardized on it.

Recently my faith in MS has become shaken. The suggestions I gave are ones that have tripped me up on both Win 10 and 11 Pro. My editorializing was gratuitous, but is heartfelt. Windows has become a necessary evil for the reasons that I and others have mentioned. I am too far invested in Windows based software to quit and go 100% Linux. That¡¯s the way it is.

I have two nice Dell laptops with Win 11 pro that started out beautifully but are beginning to slow as the updates roll in. Awful lot of crapware arrived with those updates and I was force fed ¡°solutions¡± I don¡¯t trust or want and have had to disable to maintain reasonable performance.

I apologize if it upset people.

I¡¯m going to take a wild guess here and ask if you maybe don¡¯t think much of Microsoft¡­¡­.. ??that wasn¡¯t real clear¡­..

WOW!

Yet somehow, my Win-11 install is flawless.? I must be crossing my eyes right or something. I don¡¯t have much to say in the forum¡­¡­ because I¡¯m not having any issues and have not experienced any issues.

Cliff is on the path as is Drew. M$ is notorious for installing crapware as part of the OS. Kill process and disable the One Cloud app, XBox app, any other stuff you don¡¯t need that autoloads on boot up. Look at anything that grabs the sound devices.?

Do not configure fldigi or flrig to use the ¡°M$-anything¡± devices they like to own the interface and can do unpredictable things with the audiostream as well as lock the COM ports from shared use. The M$ stuff is optimized for gaming apps.
