Well, the modern standby actually leaves the CPU in a working state and on Windows 10/11 the computer would install updates in the background and do other random stuff that heavily drains the battery. The true standby is not there regardless of your operating system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonstopmaximum Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Windows 7 has been my favorite and daily OS since 2010. When web browsers (I use Firefox and Opera) or internet functions begin to stop working maybe then I will make the switch to Linux which I haven't been fond of but I hope that day doesn't come anytime soon. I've experienced browsers becoming unusable before with PowerPC Macs and had to give up using the internet on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Nvidia security update driver 475 arrived, but didn't bring anything new to the table in terms of comparability with newer games, it's still based on the old batch R470 from several years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost half a year later, I finally tried, unfortunately it introduced stutters to the gaming process. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
