Win 11 upgrade from 10 is this normal?

[Pathfinder]

So I finally made the leap, was win 10 Pro, now win 11 Pro. 
So I had to raise the playback buffer....was 256 without issues but had to go to 512-still a little weird. 
Is this normal behavior?

Thanks

When I switched to Win11, I battled my "new" machine for months with bios tweaks.  Then I realized I had forgot to disable core parking - which cured the remainder of my latency problems.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure you need to re-optimize your pc for audio when updating between windows versions.

I th e older days, there were sites where individuals with the knowledge of what to turn off\change whatever in win 7, 8, etc for daws.

Any suggestions? I did ust disable the core parking thanks to th reminder from Hook above.

It's possible that extreme gaming optimizations may apply to an audio system.   Back when I had to start using Win10 for one of my systems, I found Black Viper's Windows 10 Service Configuration pages to help quite a lot, without breaking anything. (I used the most extreme configuration that still allowed internet access).  I'd guess they have Win11 info by now.

I'm pretty sure that, "these days", the amount of tweaks you need to do are pretty minimal compared to the dark ages of Windows XP & prior.

Turning off core parking as noted above is the biggest one.

……. Turn USB sleepstate to never, turn off Windows sounds are also good ones to do.

No, he gave up after W10. But a lot of them apply to W11
