  2. Windows Updates 11 22H2 and internet Efficiancy mode problem!

    My internet connection is more then fine ... and i have a strong PC and its not the cuse of the problme.

    Tried it before and tired 50 other ways, The efficieny mode keeps coming back after 1-2 min.

    its because of the new 22H2 windows update, spoke to 20 people with the same issue aftre the latest windows update to 22H2!

    is there away to permanently shut down the EFFICIENY MODE on windows 11 after the 22H2 update?

    is there a way to go back to previos version of windows ? becasue i dont have that option after you do that update you cant go back... it says this

    option is not available any more..

    ben.

    BTW when i open the task massanger i have an option to use efficieny mode on any app i want, on any internet app i cant use it because it

    automatticaly opens. after i open any browser it opens it in efficiency mode i go back to the task massanger and close it and then it comes back again and again and again..

  3. Windows Updates 11 22H2 and internet Efficiancy mode problem!

    Nothing helps, it keeps coming back it was embedded into the windows setting in the last update..

    i will try to explain the problem again, in the latest windows 11 22H2 update they gave us the Efficiency mode..

    Now i have the option to activate it on any app i want! and thats ok but its AUTO ACTIVAT it self on any internet browser i use

    (FireFox, Edge, Chrome) that means that every time i open a new browser it opens AUTOMATICALY in efficiency mode

    i once again go and turn in off in the task manager but sec later it AUTOMATICALY comes back

    Doesnt matter if i change Any of the internet app setting

    Doesnt help if i put my PC on High preformance

    Doesnt help if i open the internet on Administrator mode

    Doesnt help if i disabble the efficiency one by one on any browser because it comes back a min later

    Tried every solution i found online... Doesnt work

    Tried to reinstall all the apps... Doesnt work

    Tried to reset my PC my internet.. Doesnt work

    Tried Anonymous mode.. Doesnt work

    Tried to do recovery... it says i cant

    Also tried every thing you said and it didnt help

  4. Windows 11 22H2 weird icon in Task Manager - Efficiency mode

    Task Manager only displaying icons under name

    From Windows 11, version 22H2 known issues and notifications

    Task Manager might not display in expected colors

    Status Originating update History

    Mitigated OS Build 22621.900

    KB5020044

    2022-11-29 Last updated: 2022-11-30, 12:44 PT

    Opened: 2022-11-30, 12:29 PT

    After installing KB5020044, Task Manager might display certain elements in the user interface (UI) in unexpected colors. On affected devices, Task Manager should function as expected but some parts of the UI might not be readable. You might be affected by this issue if you have "Choose your mode" set to "Custom", in the Personalization -> colors section of Settings. If you are using Dark or Light for the "Choose your mode" setting, you should not be affected by this issue.

    Workaround: To mitigate this issue, you can set the "Choose your mode" setting to either Dark or Light until this issue is resolved. To do this, right click or long press on the desktop, select "Personalize", select "Colors", and then select either "Dark" or "Light" for "Choose your mode".

    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

    Affected platforms:

    Client: Windows 11, version 22H2

    Server: None
