you should do your research before saying that. IT IS official. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/microsoft/directx-graphics-samples/d3d12-12-on-7-sample-win32/

8.1 exists. it has around 4% of marketshare

it is not windows update. It is called d3d12on7 and can be implemented by any game developer

also windows 7 usage is huge in comparison to vista/server 2008. Windows 7 still receives newest chrome updates, steam. Got support from microsoft by backporting d3d12 libraries etc..

Hi, I want to have vmware workstation 10/12 (I don't know which of them I will need) alongside vmware workstation 16. Is that somehow possible?

It is pain in the a** to get it up and running under windows 7 and 8.1 let alone vista..

Have you tried this update? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-14-2021-kb5008274-monthly-rollup-e7eed5a2-1154-4af6-a3ec-1db61d66f967

I’ve decided to create this thread, since the amount of half working programs have became kinda crazy. Handbrake - 1.3 is the latest officially supported version. At this time the newest version work just fine, but it is no longer supported. Beamng.Drive and Rocket League - Both give "App stopped working" When you properly exit them. They function just fine, but this weird message comes up every time. Geforce experience - While you can install and open the newest 1.24 geforce experience, it no longer screen captures and many other functions stops working. 1.23 is the latest one that still work normally. VMware workstation Pro - The newest 16.2.1 version of this still functions on 8.1, but 3D acceleration has been turned off for some reason. 16.1.2 is the latest one that still functions as intended. Logitech GHUB - The latest version works if you update it through vista compatibility setting. For some users a warning saying that the driver is not digitally signed pops up, but everything still works. iTunes - See my topic on this. Onedrive - Microsoft claims that it will stop working on 1st of january 2022 Office 2019 - Somewhere on msfn I’ve seen people claiming that it can be installed. I use office 365 and it still updates to their newest version just fine. Ryzen CPUs - They work just fine. Don’t forget to manually install missing pci drivers from amd folder and usb 3.1 root hub. Use AMD’s windows 10 driver version 2.17.25.506 RTX 3000 - Unfortunately no known workaround has been found RX 6000 by amd - They seem to work. Sometimes you get weird colors on unity games. Please contribute to this list. Cheers

I would suggest loading different ahci driver from intel?

Sorry for going off topic, but glad to see you back 😉

Windows 8.1 is host and my 1650 super does support dx 11.1

I know that this is not the best thread and sorry for going kinda off topic but could you please try what would happen with 8.1 I wonder if you could use that? I don’t have anyone who could test this for me. If you don’t want to I understand but it would be nice. Thanks

8.1 has all my bluetooth devices already connected and wifi works immediately.

When aero is off it is no longer being rendered on the gpu. So you gpu is completely irrelevant

I also feel this way. I never got any issue even running it on non supported hardware. though I might be weird cause I love the metro ui. I hate windows 8 approach though. Many users had to google how to shut down their own computer

it does not work on 8.1 either so you can't do anything about it afaik

So the latest version works only on 8.1 and 10 then..

I'm getting different error but nonetheless windows 8.0 is not working unfortunately. https://prnt.sc/1y76wpa

There is a reason not to copy this file. In my case it breaks some apps if they detect you have d3d12 library on your system. for example rivatuner no longer works when you have this file in your system32 folder.

I have no idea what happened here and why is everyone arguing and have no intention in joining any fights here. It was quite a long time ago with my dell latitude e6330 with i5-3340m. if I recall correctly the vmware service was giving me bsod but later it was fixed with some windows update. I have no idea when that was though. Btw I didn't even know that avast/avg was based in the czech republic LOL

I know it is kinda off topic, but could you please link me where did you get drivers for Vega gpu? Thanks

Well that’s only partial solution. My company is actually paid subscriber of VMware products. We get these for free, but they do still pay for them. Windows 8.1 is officially supported so why does it not work? I downgraded my VMware for now, but that’s not the solution I feel satisfied with.

that's odd though. I tried restoring iPhone 11 to ios 15.0.2 and it worked just fine. it might affect iPhone 13 series though

Please help me with this very weird issue. After the newest vmware update (16.2.0) no 3d support is available. https://prnt.sc/1whuvv7 any hints why that is? Thanks Edit: My specs: Ryzen 5 3600 32GB DDR4 GTX 1650 Super 472.12 driver

Thanks for your report! Windows 8.1 on the other hand still works as of this time. (12.1.1 works just fine)
