New system

"Efficiency Mode" to OFF

Settings to maximize performance.

Opened Edge with 9 tabs, used for 15 minutes (every tab)

19 tabs and processes in "Efficiency Mode"

Types question

30 tabs and processes in "Efficiency Mode"

Windows STOPPED

Unable to change tabs or programs

The (anti) efficiency mode is severely disrupting system performance.

WHY?

How do I STOP this?

    Hi Lawrence,

    I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Windows does not have a switch to turn off efficiency mode. This is by design.

    That being said, you can turn off Edge's efficiency mode at the following page:

    edge://settings/system

    Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.

    Thank you for the response.

    That switch is (and has been) OFF, with ZERO effect.

    This (anti) efficiency mode has DESTRYED any efficiency this new computer had.

    My 10 year old Widows 10 computer is orders of magnitude more efficient than this new Windows 11 machine!

    Thanks Lawrence,

    The programs should not stop.

    To better understand the issue, Please see the article below on how to share System and app logs.

    The system also decides, on its on, to jump back multiple screens (multi keyboards and mice)

    System specs:

    Brand new computer (for gaming)

    I9 processor

    64 Gig Ram

    Plenty of SSD storage availabl

    Per request:

    SimpSysLog.evtx

    SimAppLog.evtx

    Already performed total system reset

    EXTREMELY frustrated that I cannot use a brand new computer

    Lawrence

    Thanks, Lawrence; the problem is hardware - I also see some WHEA errors and crash dumps.

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000003, 0xffff8b82c4b2c060, 0xffffc18f8a05f738, 0xffff8b82e221b560). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\072923-8531-01.dmp. Report Id: c81fdf87-963e-4f6a-aeb2-8492a1cb463d.

    A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x1C:0x0
Secondary Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device Name:PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7ABC&SUBSYS_0BBF1028&REV_11
Secondary Device Name:

    Can you share some minidump files from:

    C:\Windows\Minidump\ to find the root cause?
