I have the same issue. The culprit for me is using ad blockers or pop up blockers extensions. I have to set those to unblock on this site.

Multiplicity 4 is in Beta testing meaning that it is still in development but the license will become the full release once development is finished.

Reply to Stardock Announces Multiplicity 4 in Stardock Software News Stardock Forums

This is a good choice of software to update to the next major version. Multiplicity 3 always felt a bit outdated when running Windows 11. I welcome the UI changes that match the Windows 11 OS settings menu's better in this release. I also welcome that the basic release now includes drag and drop between files between two computers. However, I believe the vast majority of people that will really like multiplicity 4 will also really want the kvm mechanics that only the pro version. This

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="6" id="3946375"] MS has said that if your computer doesn't satisfy their criteria for W11 compatibility, go out and buy a new one. Not a thought about the e-waste, and piles of perfectly good computers, nevermind affordability.

Reply to Open Discussion for Opinions on Windows 24H2 in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Is 24h2 worth it? Depends on how you want to use your Windows. The worst part of this upgrade is that it will create chaos to a lot of 3rd party modification tools as Microsoft clamps down on using Windows 10 parts. On the forum we are seeing a lot of issues right now because of this. Therefore, 24h2 is a step backwards when it comes to customization's and modifications. For people willing to say good bye to windows 10 and windows 10 parts, 24h2 is in fact worth it. However, t

Reply to Start 11 with Explorer Patcher in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

It does appear that explorerpatcher will survive 24h2 after all. What happened is that Microsoft has closed the ability to hack in a windows 10 taskbar on 24h2. So it is still not possible to use a windows 10 taskbar on a 24h2 part. What explorerpatcher now does is they install 22h2 parts in place of the 24h2 parts. Basically, this means explorerpatcher will have to hack in 22h2 parts onto 24h2 in order to hack in a windows 10 taskbar. It works for now, but it is hard to say if the loophole w

Reply to recommended cpu for sins2 ? tempest is lagging my game to death in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Games maxing out vram is a real issue in general as of late. As a laptop gamer myself it is hard to go above 1080p even with newer laptops simply because there is hardly ever enough vram. Other things that use vram, on top of resolution, is texture quality. Higher textures use larger files that clogs up vram. Another thing to look out for is the temps of your cpu and gpu. If you are seeing dips in performance late game that could be a sign of higher temps causing a crash in pe

Reply to recommended cpu for sins2 ? tempest is lagging my game to death in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I don't think your cpu is the issue here. It could be your ram is the problem. Luckily ram is easily upgradable. Typically 16 gigs of ram is the bare minimal for gaming but things are moving fast towards 32 gigs. If your ram is at that level, your gpu or on board graphics may be the issue. A gpu / on bard graphics capability is typically the most important component when gaming. One thing you could use to check is game bar (windows + G) and pinning the resource usage window wh

But, I think for productivity start 11's windows 10 / 11 style has it beat. It would be nice if we didn't have to choose between the two in this way though.

Windows 10 got the start menu right when they took the windows 8 start menu and made it look less like a phone menu and more like a traditional start menu. I think this is basically what Windows 11 should do. Pretty much this is what start 11 does in many ways.

I wouldn't call Windows 11's start menu "well enough" But, of course you also can't fix a start menu that looks and functions too much like a phone menu by making it even more into a phone menu.

What backups can't be (can't remain) is to get around monitor qty \ connection types, resolutions, or scaling issues. With very few exceptions post Feces 5.5, that has been largely addressed.
