Issues after upgrading to Windows 11

[deadbyfaith]

As the title aptly states, I'm having some issues with FFXIV with Windows 11 right now. The preview version just came out and my laptop automatically updated to it. So far, Windows 11 is pretty cool, but... the issue I'm having is this...

Everything is loading just fine and rather faster than normal... but as soon as it actually loads my character in the game, it freezes the screen. If I tab out, it runs just fine (I have 2 monitors). But if I focus back on the game, it freezes again.

I was thinking it was a power consumption issue but everything checks out there. I've made sure my Nvidia card is the one selected for the game and just about everything else I can think about in regards to making this run properly. It "fixed" itself after a while... but as soon as I went to a new area, froze again.

Anybody else having this issue or know what's going on? Maybe something I haven't thought of?

UPDATE: This appears to be an issue with the Borderless Windowed setting of the game. I don't think Windows 11 fully understand what a Borderless Windowed application is. Changing to Windowed works and changing to Full Screen works.

I will say, teleporting into Limsa, every name is instantly visable now. My laptop didn't do that before Windows 11. xD Weird.

It may driver related. Keep in mind Windows 11 is still in Beta/Testing so not available main-stream yet (you can sign up for insider preview to try it out by MS themselves have said it's not suitable for main-use systems as there's still testing/bugs to sort). As a result, you might not get any support on issues like this until Win11 becomes mainstream. I'm sure the dev's will/have tested the game prior to Win11 release, but there's also graphics drivers and the like that could be a factor.
