    Hello everyone !

    It feels good not to be alone encountering these problems.

    PC Specs

    • CPU: i7 8700k
    • GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6Gb
    • RAM: 16Gb @3200MHz
    • Storage: SAMSUNG SSD 980 M.2 500 GO PCIE 3.0 X4 NVME
    • OS: Windows 11 22H2

    It's been 1 month since I've decided to *upgrade* to Windows 11 *Pro*. Guess Win11 is still in Alpha (if not in Beta) even after the 1 year release...

    Regarding CS:GO, the exact same problem as everyone here happens to me : CS:GO takes from 16 to 17s to start, while it used to start instantly through Windows 10.

    Not here to blame nor to cry, but after more than a year of Win11 release, maybe time has come for the dev teams - both from Microsoft & Valve - to at least try to resolve this scanning problem !

    We already know the answer from both of these companies.

    Anyways, here is a list of things I've used / am using to this day :

    • installed Win11 from scratch instead of "upgrading" from Win10 (formatted M2, fresh & cleaned hardware) ;
    • checked CPU/GPU temperatures & disks' health ;
    • sfc /scannow'd & so on related to CMD ;
    • using Intelligent Standby List Cleaner (ISLC) ;
    • unparked CPU cores (Park Control) ;
    • disabled unneeded services (msconfig & Autoruns program) ;
    • enabled MSI mode for with MSI Mode Utility.

    I've been using the exact same programs on Win10, never been in any trouble regarding performances back then...

    Anyways, hope this helps the devs to at least get informed of this aberration...

    If any solution got found since November the 10th (other than getting back to Win10 since I can't myself do so), I'd love to be informed !

    Thanks for your time reading.

    Edit n°2 05/12/2022 : To this day, still having the 16-17s launch time for CS:GO.

    I'm desperately checking each day for a divine Windows 11 update or a game update from Valve.

    Edit n°1 10/11/2022 : still having the problem with the driver update, version 526.86.

    I have a feeling that microsoft started to push users and activate the "non-gently" migration to Windows 11 making Windows 10 "worse". Any news regarding this CSGO issue?

    I was hoping it will be fixed, but it's still slow to start.

    just getting used to it.

    keep hoping for a fix.
