Windows 11
Anyone upgrade yet? If so, what do you think of it? Any problems? I've upgraded two systems to W11, and it's working perfectly on both of them. One is a home built Ryzen 5 based desktop and ...
I may have to replace my early 2013 15" Retina MBP. The keyboard membrane is finally going. This started about 6 months ago where the power button was sketchy trying to turn it on. Now it doesn't work at all and I never shut it off until I go to bed. I have it automatically wake at 3am in case I get up early. If I bring it anywhere I just close the lid.
If I accidentally turn it off I have to physically open the bottom (9 tiny screws), disconnect the battery with a spudger, then reconnect it after a minute, replace the cover and plug the magsafe power cable back on. That's the procedure to boot a MacBook without a power button.
That was somewhat livable, but now the E, C, I and down-arrow buttons have started missing connections too. So, it's time.
The battery I replaced in it a while ago is still good tho. That was a fun job. The old one was swollen so bad it would press against the bottom of the trackpad so it wouldn't click anymore.
Well, my mini PC had two instances of freezing, necessitating a hard shutdown each time. I ended up performing another clean install and it's been working all day without issue, so hopefully it was just some kind of glitch that won't rear its ugly head again.
Have you seen this issue discussed anywhere? I wonder if it's happening to others. EDIT: I did a cursory search and it seems to be happening to other users too. One of the theories is that it may be related to an improper screen resolution, but there seem to be others.
I saw that too. I've run the recommended checks and such, though nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Hopefully it won't happen again with the new install.
