Higgsfield AI premium unlocked on Windows 11 - GPU Performance, Security Warnings & User Experience
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently been exploring some cutting-edge AI-powered video generation tools — particularly apps that turn static images into short animated avatar videos. One example is Higgsfield AI, which seems to be gaining traction for its real-time neural rendering capabilities.
To better understand the user experience and performance bottlenecks, I tested an early version of this type of app through a public-facing platform available at https://modhello.org
-> While the platform doesn’t host official software, it gave me a helpful sense of how these tools behave under different system conditions.
🧩 On Windows 11 (Home/Pro), I’ve noticed a few recurring issues:
- High GPU and memory usage during generation, especially on devices with integrated graphics.
- Windows Defender SmartScreen warnings, even when using known/trusted installers.
- Intermittent crashes when the app accesses media resources (camera, file system, etc.).
- In some cases, Security features (e.g., Smart App Control) seem to block AI models from loading.
These observations were made while testing AI tools for research purposes, with no modifications to system policies or app code.
❓ I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- Are there known compatibility issues between AI/ML applications and Windows 11 security settings?
- Does Windows 11 handle GPU memory allocation for AI inference differently than Windows 10?
- What’s the recommended setup (sandboxing, virtualization, etc.) to safely test these AI applications?
I'm particularly interested in whether there are best practices for developers looking to optimize AI tools on Windows, while staying compliant with Microsoft’s modern security architecture.
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Windows 11 introduces some improvements in hardware handling, but in terms of GPU memory management, the fundamental behavior remains similar to Windows 10.
