    The OP asked about 7, not 8.1. The latest version works only on 8.1 (maybe) and 10.

    The old version, I'm afraid, won't suffice for the updated 15 Pro with iOS 18.

     

     

    even newest version can run on windows 7, just need dxgi from windows 10, please read it all..

    Opera will probably work up to around version 110 (Chromium 125?) with DWrite.dll from Windows 10, replacing DiscardVirtualMemory with VirtualAlloc (or what I also recently discovered, DiscardVirtualMemory is in 8.1 in kernelbase.dll, so you can add by ExportTableTester redirection to this function in kernel32.dll exports and using it for opera_browser.dll e.g. as kernel33.dll) and with --no-sandbox. This is completely pointless due to depriving the browser of security, but for viewing DRM content you can do so. In my case, interestingly enough, DRM works on 8.1 after copying the widvine from Firefox to any compatible browser on Chromium.

    Does it work without --no-sandbox? If so, the differences are unfortunately much greater than DWrite and DiscardVirtualMemory. The biggest problem of Windows versions lower than 10 is the Set/GetProcessMigitationPolicy functions. 8.0 and 8.1 have them, but their implentation is insufficient for Chromium.

    this is really interesting.. and yes on windows "10" build 9888 it works without --no-sandbox flag, just needs the virtualalloc hack. will definitely try the widevine method you mentioned. really cool.

    Would the result of fixing Chrome be much different than Supermium, which has already been fixed? There is not much difference between vairous Chrome-variants.

    Actually yeah, I have been forced to use windows 11 to watch netflix etc.. DRM does not work under supermium or firefox

    Most of my extensions simply won't load. Like it was before, if you remember, in 2021.

    I don't know, I got ublock origin working in chrome 114 on windows 8.1 as that is the last chrome version I'm able to run. on windows 10 9888 all extensions work just fine

  5. I know that we have supermium browser and that it works flawlessly, I myself use it on daily basis, but I was bored the other day and discovered, that the newest chrome works on Windows "10" 9888, so how hard is it really to fix it for 8.1?

    So my laptop has 7 and server 2016 dual booted, and I booted to the 2016 install, and appearantly the October 2nd build switched to Chromium 126, which means no more updates for stock 7 and 8.x, but at least Valve is not actively forcing the update on people's machines if they are running 7 or 8.x, as far as I know.

    It's in beta phase atm, but the end of updates is near

  7. Hi,

    Today, I broke rockstar launcher artificial block. Since I can't link you anything, you need to do the modification yourself. Get your hands on rockstar games launcher version 1-0-83 and install it. DO NOT open it! Make the folder read-only and restrict yourself and all Administrators from write permissions. Delete launcherpatcher.exe and run the launcher.exe, let it install socialclub and if for some reason it gets stuck on installing social club, just download the latest one and install it. We are not done, now you'll see an error complaining about missing dependencies. Download CEF explorer and locate social club folder. open socialclubhelper head into import directory and select user32.dll change adjustwindowrectexfordpi to adjustwindowrectex. and that's everything. To be able to play gta v for example, you need to locate playgtav.exe before the artificial block, even versions from 2020 works since the are just a stub.

    Rockstar Games Launcher since January 30 is Windows 10 only and refuses to install or function on 7. A few games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption II that previously had 7/8/8.1 compatibility and require RGL are no longer functional on these OS as a result.

    There IS a way to bypass that. I discovered a method myself, though I never shared it anywhere, cause I don't want rockstar to close that loophole. https://prnt.sc/aEyLJ1GypD5b

    Follow the instructions in the link I included.
    Over "Balanced" you should have the option of choosing "High" or "Ultimate".

    P.S.

    This is my PC where I chose "Ultimate" but I would also have "High":

    P.S.

    I would not want MS to prevent the Ultimate power plan in laptops.

    But you should be able to select at least "High".

    Follow the instructions in this link (if they seem easier to implement):

    https://computersluggish.com/windows11/optimisation-maintenance/windows-11-add-ultimate-performance-power-plan/

     

    there is only balanced and from what I've seen it has to do something with modern standby

    windows 8.1 is a lot faster, 100 percent agree! The question is whether the employer lets you use it.

    yeah well that's not happening, we just began to phase out windows 10, because the support is nearing the end. The funnies thing about that is that we have 3 windows server 2012 r2 running the surveilance system, remote desktop etc.. :D

    Looks like the OP won't be allowed to reduce, modify those 10 OS at work.

     

     

    Unfortunately, I can't do much with the bloat. we have teamviewer running in the background with teams,outlook,edge and onedrive. There are some dell programs and I tried to get them removed, but ultimately was not allowed to do so. It seems to be related to the cpu frequency though, cause the cpu is underclocking to 1.1-1.8 Ghz and the temperature is around 40-58 degrees so I don't quite get it.

  12. Hi,

    we are deploying 10 laptops with the same exact specs. These are used just for word processing, internet browsing, printing and teams meetings with dual monitors. I though that 13th gen i5 is a bit overkill, but as it turned out it is the exact opposite. The laptop feels really slow, ui is lagging, opening file explorer takes 3-5 seconds??? Is this windows 11 issue, or is this cpu weak? cause I find this really hillarious. Everything is set to it's highest performance mode including bios.

    Intel core i5-1335U

  13. I really didn't expect that valve would "upgrade" their chromium from 85 to 109 just to keep supporting 7 and 8 despite their official claims. I'm not complaining, but why bother with the announcement that they won't support them?

    latest beta branches are working under 8.1 and they keep getting updates.

    "also" ? what else is "not true" ?

    I won't argue with you, I was actually in middle of czech conversation and I was responding to this in english so i pronounced myself wrongly, I meant that this statement you wrote is not correct, cause videos are being accelerated on chromium browsers on platforms such as disney+, netflix, youtube. For some reason 1440p and up on youtube at least is just not working under 8.1. So yeah, I wrote it misleadingly and you didn't bother to respond to anything relating to gpu acceleration.

    They removed any form of accelerated videos on all OSes below win 10, thanks for yet another confirmation.

    This is also not true. Because 1080p 60fps is accelerated on gpu, netflix is accelerated on gpu. 1440p and up is not accelerated. At least on 8.1

    ... Unless you have a recent GPU that supports H/W VP9 decoding, only S/W decoding via CPU takes place for 8k60 YT (do YT serve >=1080p files encoded in H.264?) - Wiki says that "full fixed-function VP9 8-bit and 10-bit decoding acceleration" was only added in Intel's Quick Sync Video v6, starting with Kaby Lake; don't know about the AMD side of things...

    It does work for me on windows 10 though.

    rtx 2060 and r5 3600 so I think it is not working under w 8.1

    1080/720 Youtube videoplay in Chrome ver. 111/112 running on Windows 8.0/8.1 removes Intel iGPU micro stuttering. (With, of course, a gpu capable of playing 720/1080.)

    Stuttering? I have few computers with intel hd graphics ranging from sandy bridge to skylake with no stuttering on yt videos. And I don’t really think that it uses gpu anyways since whenever I try 8k60fps on my main pc the cpu gets heavily utilized
