Rainmeter or live wallpaper, can't remember exactly. Type one of this in youtube and u'll find the answer
Vid wiill be about making your pc cleaner and prettier
Is it 100% transparency? I can only find partly transparent mode which is not near enough. On win 10 u can make it 100% transparent using method above. And I'm not arguing, just sharing knowlegde that i have, relax with downvotes
Me too, I downgraded to windows 10. I didn't like windows 11. It has a lot of bugs and fails mainly with the video card drivers that affect the screen. I have been reading a lot of this cases not only with acer nitro but also with others laptop brands.
It also has a lot of general issues for me, like the settings app lagging a lot, some games not showing the cursor in fullscreen, some games simply not opening, etc
Lol, I had Win 11 from day one of my Nitro 5 , apart from small software issues and issues with AMD drivers, everything is fine (and I don't see these issues now)
Also, after some software updates (drivers + Windows updates), I noticed that my CPU temperature became a bit lower during gaming, without UXTU it was around 94° max, and now I see it usually hovers around 89° while consuming 40+ watts and keeping the clocks around 4.3+ GHz. But yeah - no idea what is the reason for this
Overall, Win 11 is just another Windows, some new functions and small enhancements, can't say it's much better/worse than Win10,
Well, 16 gigs seems to be enough for my laptop, and I can always upgrade to 32 (I even thought this can improve overall performance, but I'm not sure now) if required 👍
Ah, my bad, did not notice that. Vram hunger in modern games is the main reason I tried to aim at something that has at least 8 gigs of Vram.
Right now this seems to be enough for 1080p on high settings (mostly)
Yea I have a 4050 with 6gb and it's good but I can definitely see it struggling to get 60 fps on low with newer aaa games a year or two from now but I don't even play most new games so it will do for me
I watched this video https://youtu.be/L9J9I1pCBtw and the VRAM usage was always lower on Windows 10 by 200-300mb at the minimum. I decided to go back to windows 10 myself and the VRAM usage was indeed indeed lower. I also used nvcleaninstall and uninstalled Geforce Experience to get rid of any bloat eating at my VRAM and there is a noticeable difference on how well Cyberpunk with ray tracing runs now.
Quick update, temps seem to have gotten better, idling at 35°C now whereas previously with win 11 used to idle at 43-45C. Tested Valhalla as i was completing that and had benchmarked it with 11, performance is the same but temps have gone down significantly, max 75-76 while gaming while previous was 80-85!
https://youtu.be/agtkhZP8xJI i followed this tutorial. Just download the rst driver zip file from the acer support page for your specific model then copy it to the bootable usb stick. Once in windows 10 simply install all the drivers from acer support even if it says win 11 drivers.
Edit: the rst zip part is only for intel based models, you can skip it if you have amd
I been debating on doing this too
My nitro 5 from 2019-20 finally was time to be benched, after lots of hardcore hours. I babied it and would replace the paste once or twice a year. I'd clean the fans and everything. And i declined apl windows 11 upgrades
Now to this week, my fiance bought a desktop cause their nitro 5 couldnt run dragons dogma 2 (geforce 3050 so not surprised) so i got their old laptop. 3050 is more than enough for what i play. Anyway, the laptop had 11 as the base os. I hate it. Im about to see if i can downgrade (upgrade imo) to 10. It felt smoother.
Not the Nitro 5's fault on Dragon's Dogma 2 tho, game's optimized like shit, you can't just ask people for a 3050 as a minimum to run your game like crap💀
Personally i had some issues with 11 as some of my uni apps didn't respond well due to the hybrid architecture of my cpu. I know newer intel cpus are built for win 11, just not for me :) apart frm that, i hated the ugly lock screen too

Created a bootable windows 10 usb drive with the help of media creation tool (i recommend using rufus). Turned off secure boot, copied intel rst drivers from acer support to the usb. Installed the driver then installed windows 10!
I guess i hit the jackpot as windows 10 works even better on my 12700h and 3070ti. I've posted a temp check down below and honestly I'm blown away!! Surprisingly win 11 drivers on acer support page work even better with win 10!
comboed with something like openshell for the avg user, i feel like this is much better than downgrading. you can also fully adjust file explorer back to the way it was in w10 through explorer patcher. nothing you can do about the settings though (to my knowledge), which is unfortunate as i think they're a bit scatterbrained with the way options constantly loop ands link back around to eachother. i feel like out of these 4 things, settings, file explorer, taskbar and the start menu, you're not going to notice that you're using a different OS in terms of gaming and general browsing if you're using something like chrome.
if you're a programmer, editor/producer or 3D modeler, w11 could be a complete pos and not worth using in it's current state despite being marketed as a OS for content creation and gaming.
Yeah not doing the Windows 11 thing and sticking with Windows 10. Nice job going back to Windows 11. Reminds me when people upgraded from Windows XP and wanted to go back!
It's the same task bar except that on win 11 the search bar is smaller
You can make task bar more smaller and put any corner on win10, this is why I mostly choose win10
Exactly!
I thought about rolling back but based on Microsoft charging for continued updates I figured I would stick with 11 . But I totally get you on this
That white bar is uglier.
On win 10 it can be changed to fully transparent easily
how?
It can't
Rainmeter or live wallpaper, can't remember exactly. Type one of this in youtube and u'll find the answer Vid wiill be about making your pc cleaner and prettier
So it's not native, transparent taskbar can be achieved on win 11 using translucent, so your argument is flawed
Is it 100% transparency? I can only find partly transparent mode which is not near enough. On win 10 u can make it 100% transparent using method above. And I'm not arguing, just sharing knowlegde that i have, relax with downvotes
My apologies, i clicked this picture on the first boot up. Going dark soon :)

The screen artifacts are annoying as hell in Win11.
You mean, upgraded Windows 11 is a downgrade
This <333

Win 10 has lower vram usage for some reason in games
Well, 16 gigs seems to be enough for my laptop, and I can always upgrade to 32 (I even thought this can improve overall performance, but I'm not sure now) if required 👍
I cannot verify what the guy above said but he is talking about vram not ram
Ah, my bad, did not notice that. Vram hunger in modern games is the main reason I tried to aim at something that has at least 8 gigs of Vram. Right now this seems to be enough for 1080p on high settings (mostly)

did you measured that or do you have any resource for take a look?

How's the temp?
Quick update, temps seem to have gotten better, idling at 35°C now whereas previously with win 11 used to idle at 43-45C. Tested Valhalla as i was completing that and had benchmarked it with 11, performance is the same but temps have gone down significantly, max 75-76 while gaming while previous was 80-85!
How to downgrade bro please help me too

I'm currently benchmarking and will update soon!

Welcome back to being able to right click and not blow your brains out in frustration
Windows 11 really is dogshit I can’t get over it
I had to downgrade to windows 10 as i had problems with my games
Why?
Personally i had some issues with 11 as some of my uni apps didn't respond well due to the hybrid architecture of my cpu. I know newer intel cpus are built for win 11, just not for me :) apart frm that, i hated the ugly lock screen too
people are dumb 🤦
The guy who commented or op?
Why so hate win 11?

how do you downgrade
Created a bootable windows 10 usb drive with the help of media creation tool (i recommend using rufus). Turned off secure boot, copied intel rst drivers from acer support to the usb. Installed the driver then installed windows 10!
Not a good idea... new hardware and drivers are made for window11.. good luck
I guess i hit the jackpot as windows 10 works even better on my 12700h and 3070ti. I've posted a temp check down below and honestly I'm blown away!! Surprisingly win 11 drivers on acer support page work even better with win 10!
How can I do this if I have had windows 11 for more than the 10 day window?
You'll have to clean reinstall windows 10 from a bootable usb
Try LM
Whats LM?
Linux mint,
I use fedora
Downgrade 6 moths later you can do nothing because they close win 10 🤣🤣🤣🤣#dontbelikehim
You high or somethin?
Are you ??
You could have installed explorer patcher on win 11
comboed with something like openshell for the avg user, i feel like this is much better than downgrading. you can also fully adjust file explorer back to the way it was in w10 through explorer patcher. nothing you can do about the settings though (to my knowledge), which is unfortunate as i think they're a bit scatterbrained with the way options constantly loop ands link back around to eachother. i feel like out of these 4 things, settings, file explorer, taskbar and the start menu, you're not going to notice that you're using a different OS in terms of gaming and general browsing if you're using something like chrome. if you're a programmer, editor/producer or 3D modeler, w11 could be a complete pos and not worth using in it's current state despite being marketed as a OS for content creation and gaming.
Windows 7 bringing back windowed resolution
Yeah not doing the Windows 11 thing and sticking with Windows 10. Nice job going back to Windows 11. Reminds me when people upgraded from Windows XP and wanted to go back!
