[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1114758, member: 39702"] Why... on earth... would you use Microsoft account with Windows? I'd say "okay" if there are benefits using it, but there are literally none. Just because something is offered to you, doesn't mean it's good. Microsoft pushes their accounts on Windows for a reason, and not a good one for you. Many people say [I]"it backs up your Windows license and settings"[/I]. Windows license is backed up on Microsoft's server doesn't matter if you had Microsoft account on PC or not, it will still automatically activate on clean install. And regarding [I]"settings backup"[/I]... if I'm making clean install, I WANT clean install. Not the copy of previous installation. So I want settings reset. Beside, every new major Windows version resets some of the settings back; no Microsoft account will prevent that as it's made like that on purpose. I don't have any particular issue with Windows 11, but the Realtek audio drivers are getting on my nerves. Last two or three driver version (latest is 6.0.9635.1) randomly crash and at that moment, any video regardless if it's on PC or the web refuses to play and just buffers. Volume slider does nothing and when I open settings, entire sound section is blank. Then I either have to restart Windows Audio services or restart laptop. So far I've been unsuccessful in searching for solution. The only thing that works is reverting back to version 6.0.9652.1 from beginning of the last year. If anyone has any idea, let me know.
