• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Windows 11

Well, it turns out that the background screen dimming issue has to do with playing an embedded video in Chrome using DX 11 rendering. Turning off hardware acceleration effectively stops the issue, but if you want to keep acceleration turned on for other reasons you can have Chrome use dxd9 (or OpenGL) rendering instead.

This is set on the chrome://flags/ tab.

Search for ANGLE, and it will give you a list of rendering options to select from.

Evidently this happens in Edge and other video players based on DX 11 as well, so I would expect MS will get this patched up at some point in the future.
 
After my PC crash last summer, my son rebuilt my rebuild :biggrin-new: and put on Win 11. Still working it out but so far so good,
