ANCHOR

I love Windows!

>>105940279 (OP)
I'mma give Win 11 Enterprise LTSC IoT a shot. Can't be worse than all the troonix distros I tried.
>why not Win 10?
If I don't like Win 11 then that's the last resort.

>>105940417
good luck anon!

>4 years with Windows
>1 year of Linux
>repeat
My 1 year of Linux has now come to an end. I don't do it intentionally, it seems 1 year is precisely the time I need for the novelty to wear off and for my tolerance of the horrible UX to end.
While on the other hand 4 years is what it takes to make my Windows installation a complete fucking mess of programs I don't need

>>105940441
Windows 11 has more optimizations for e/p cores, resulting in slightly better performance and power efficiency, however results may vary, there's still no clear consensus but the idea is that 11 is better for newer CPUs while older CPUs don't see as much benefits

>>105940510
so hypothetically this should be irrelevant if i pin my vm to only use efficiency cores right

Do any of you guys have older versions of Windows 11's Paint?
https://www.appx4fun.com/history/55494/ has a version story, I'd like to get the v11.2406.42.0 MsixBundle but I can't find it anywhere online. rg-adguard only has the latest one.

>>105940542
Interesting question, I'd say yes but it comes to mind that 11 might still see and apply optimizations to the e cores, who knows if that would be good or bad, testing both would be ideal, but in the end I don't think it would be a huge difference anyways

scoop is a life saver. the only good windows package manager

>>105943172
whats a package manager

>>105943219
It's a manager that manages your packages! :3

>>105943219
Scoop lets you install, update and uninstall software extremely easily
Instead of having to figure out which fucking build of FFmpeg you're supposed to install, you just type in:
scoop install ffmpeg
and it will install and even add it to PATH automatically so you and other software (like yt-dlp) can use it from any folder

>>105940279 (OP)
i prefer the mouse on the left, the ones on the right i do not care for

>>105943691
You can also get ffmpeg installed properly for your system via getting one of the pre-built Windows binaries for mpv and running the update script first time, which lets you also install/update the latest git versions of yt-dlp and ffmpeg. You'll need to add the mpv folder to the PATH manually though, which isn't hard.

Been looking for a direct download copy of zbrush, but I‘m too stupid to find one that seems legit.

It's a pretty trusted list they have, it's vetted quite often.

w11 is massively more bloated, but necessary if you want to take advantage of estrogen cores
or you can just ignore it and use w10, it really only affects performance in heavy workloads like games or something

Can you put your W11 taskbar vertically along the left side of the screen yet

>>105944975
yes you can!

still no option for that in the settings though, crazy

>>105940279 (OP)
is it possible to remove microsoft account and swap to a local account without losing data and not breaking any of my scripts?

>>105945059
u should be able to switch the account type in settings, accounts, your info
"Sign in with a local account instead"

it'll just change your account type

>>105944873
How did you do that anon?

>>105945119
Found this thing called ExplorerPatcher

How can I make the ENTIRE UI on w11 (not just the taskbar or start menu via StartAllBack; I want the windows themselves to be classic too) like XP or 7 or 98

>>105944811
Select a file and press the delete key
You’ll get blinded
Even Emmanuele Bassi understands the use case of dark file-deletion confirmation dialog boxes

>>105945430
Windows 11 does not have deletion confirmation boxes. The file immediately gets sent to the trash upon tapping Delete

Do any of the explorer patchers like StartAllBack, Start11 or ExplorerPatcher bring back the details pane on the bottom?

Same but I'm tempted to bite the bullet anyway since 10s support is packing up.
Also a good excuse to fuel my fetish for just buying new SSDs whenever I install a new OS.

>>105940441
W10 will use P-cores for your programs anyway because it picks the best CPU. So what if the background processes are being juggled around a bit more efficiently in 11?

That's entropy. Happens to everyone. You need to do regular maintenance and even then your appdata and other directories will get filled up with useless shit as time goes by.

Hello fellow windtards. Linux user here.
I have to admit, one thing Windows does great is a user interface that just works. Everything seems on the same aesthetic and it is good enough. Almost beats having the "power" to rice linux to hell and back.
Also, that font rendering is just, great.

I almost want to go back and use Windows as my main OS. Idk

>>105949378
Linux is great if you're a NEET with many hours a day to waste on making sure the system works exactly the way you want, and also fixing any issues that will appear. Or, because you are a dev and it's nice to get exp/practice with the system.

For regular use? Like playing vidya or having a system that just works and you can dump all your available time into doing things you enjoy, instead of just tinkering with a system? Windows.

>>105949378
>one thing Windows does great is a user interface that just works
I agree, if it wasn't for the shit UI I wouldn't really have a problem using Linux.

>>105949378
Rest assured friend, we won't tell /fglt/

>>105945461
That's a setting in both W10 and W11
Right-click the recycle bin and go into properties

>>105947614
I use Scoop for CLI software but Winget is still useful for quickly updating programs that usually need you to download installers to update them like HWinfo for example
Also, while the type of software you'll usually install with Scoop doesn't take up that much space, keep in mind that Scoop doesn't automatically delete old versions when you update, so once in a while you should run
scoop cleanup *

Anons, is debloating a meme?

IMO installing 10/11 Enterprise or IoT Enterprise LTSC then having ShutUp10 ran on it is pretty much all you need at a base level.

Is ei.cfg still a thing today or just change edition after install with MAS?
Any difference between Edu and Enterprise?

>>105956110
IIRC that only needs to be set if you use a multi-edition ISO that comes with Home/Pro if you want to install over an OEM install, like the one from MS's website. It doesn't matter if it's being installed fresh to clean drives.
Also there's fairly minute differences but with how easy Enterprise is to get these days you should just use that.

Yes, they're both in the Business ISO

Take me to the alternate universe where windows became better over time

>>105956423
That's called the universe where shareholders and a line going up every year aren't the most important things in the room.

I'm a bit sad windows 10 support is coming to an end
should I go balls deep into 11? are rumors about cpu spikes from opening start menu true? can i get windows titles on the taskbar somehow?

>>105957026
If you want to stay on 10 for a while longer then change your edition to Enterprise, re-activate, then use TSforge to unlocked the ESU license (all with MAS) to be able to stay on GAC 10 until late 2028. Otherwise use IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 which has support until 2032.

How do make win11 stop feeling laggy and bloated and slow? My quite beefy work computer has been forcibly updated, and feels like shit. Everything has noticeable latency and delay, even right click context menu on the desktop. I’ve seen simple stuff like notepad and paint and even calculator take multiple seconds to spin up. It feels like in the background the system is constantly spinning up and trying to update or something, I can hear the fan unexpectedly spinning up at inappropriate times, even when it’s being used under heavy load (e.g. CAD modeling)

Is there a list of settings and menus I can dive into and turn off to remove as much of the cruft and bloat as possible and speed things up?

Sometimes Windows 11 starts with the start button on the taskbar being highlighted by a thick outline. Normally when you hover over the button, a faint translucent square appears behind it, and when you click it, the windows symbol while shrink slightly, and when you release, it will go back to normal size. Not sure what causes the outline on boot. When I sign out, and sign back in, it doesn't show up. This has only happened on a restart or a boot from shutdown. This happens only on the 2nd monitor (I have 2). Don't have any startup programs except the nvidia control panel and the windows security app. I do have WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) installed, but to do anything with it you need to log in through the terminal first or use wsl commands.

>>105957219
Maybe check Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
There's also the Windows Store apps that seem to have a mind of their own, you might need to prevent them from updating or doing stuff in the background. Click the three dots button on the right and go to Advanced Options (If available, not all apps have this option) and mess with those settings (like Background app permission) and see if it helps any.

Can also check your task manager (right click the taskbar > Task Manager) during a particularly bad lag spike and see what's taking up so much processing power). And maybe disable some startup programs you don't need while you're at it. (It's the button on the left side of the task manager, looks like a speedometer).

I've done a bunch of 'optimizations' like this but yeah it still feels laggy to use Windows 11, especially compared to linux or even Windows 10/7. Yet, somehow the gaming performance is realyl good lol, and much better than linux in a lot of cases. I don't understand why the desktop is so sluggish though, even on a fresh install, even after going through most settings and turning stuff off.

>>105957313
Also some windows apps like Edge want to be running in the background or startup on boot, which makes them faster to access when you open them, so there's that. Maybe let them run how they want if you know you're going to use them. But I don't know what else they're doing lol (probably collecting data)

is it possible to downgrade from win11 iot ltsc to win10

anybody have an rtx 5000 laptop gpu running on windows 10 ltsc?

I want to upgrade from a 4090 laptop to 5090 to run larger video diffusion models. I've been using 10 ltsc for the last couple years, I downgraded a lenovo legion 7i, but after installing drivers the gpu cannot be recognized properly. reinstalling 11 fixes the issue, I think likely lenovo laptop vga drivers are broken on 10. some desktop threads mention issues with PCie gen 4/5 on windows 10, but laptop bios has no configs for this

>>105960442
Use case for downgrading?

>>105960447
>anybody have an rtx 5000 laptop gpu running on windows 10 ltsc?
DOUBT! :c

>>105960543
apparently it's less bloat which i'd appreciate for my vm

Hows an upgrade from Win10 pirated to windows 11 go?

>>105955418
Did you enter it in an ADMIN Powershell?
Did you check if you had Microsoft Store installed afterwards? You might not get any notification. Type Store into the start menu to see if it's there

>>105960605
If you mean if you activated it with MAS then it's seamless

>>105960147
There's a trick to update LTSC to 22H2, however it's pretty hacky and might not work properly

>>105960442
not at all

>>105960147
>I thought ltsc 2021 was last W10?
It is the last W10 LTSC release - officially.
What makes it "LTSC 2022" is that you force-add the 22H2 enablement package, which isn't offered by Windows Update for the EnterpriseS SKU (internal name for Enterprise LTSC)
>both 22H2 and 21H2, from which LTSC 2021 is based on, are derived from the same branch - codenamed Vibranium - which is why they share the same update KBs
>thus upgrades in between releases from Vibranium's 1904x build range are conducted by small-sized "enablement packages"
>checking the CBS .manifest files in the .cab, you'll notice what the package basically does is add a feature configuration override key that controls the 22H2-exclusive features
>(betawiki autists have documented how this feature-locking management works: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Feature_lockout_in_Windows#Windows_10_and_later)
>along with updating HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion (and the EditionVersion subkey) to accordingly change the build and version values, of course

>>105961074

Activate with MAS HWID
It's permanent, to the point where you could completely wipe all of your drives, clean install the same edition and it would activate itself once it connects to the internet because your HWID is now in Microsoft's servers

>>105961251
It's fine I guess, though not everything in "winget list" gets updated though.

how can I bypass win 11 tpm with ventoy? I want to try LTSC 11 on T440p

>>105949378
how much did they pay you? font rendering is terrible and the ui is more filled with inconstancies.

>>105963351
LTSC IoT doesn't have requirements

>>105963351
Ventoy bypasses 11 requirements by default in its boot menu options, though IoT LTSC 2024 doesn't have any requirements besides needing a CPU newer then a Core 2 Duo that supports certain instructions like POPCNT.

>>105963541
>>105963611
neat, haven't installed fresh windows since 2022 and this will be the very first time for me dealing with windows 11.

>>105961974
so I take it if I have activated windows 10 with HWID before, my next 11 installation will be activated automatically right after connecting to the internet?

>>105963763
Only if your last 10 install was IoT LTSC 2021. Otherwise you just need to activate it again which takes seconds.

>>105963763
Welcome, Windows Sir!

>>105957247
I have the same thing except it's consistent, every single boot. All I've ever been able to find is that 24H2 does that sometimes. I hope someone sees this and know what's causing it.

>>105963443
Between software that actually works, not having to chase down nightly builds to fix some obvious showstopper bug that never should have made it through release candidacy, drivers that don't hang/crash/simply fail to function (assuming they even exist in the first place), not having to google some line noise command that has to be entered every few days so X Distro doesn't destroy itself, sound/graphics/wireless that actually works (and you can be pretty sure you have a hardware failure if it doesn't), UI and font rendering that actually works (your "no u" doesn't work here, sorry), etc. etc. etc., it's actually hard to put a dollar figure on how much using Windows has paid me.
If I had to hazard a guess though, it's likely well above the net worth of your entire family put together.

Thanks man.

What's a tiny pre-built or mini pc I can get with hardware that will run Windows 95/XP well? Would those N100 intels work?

I just wanna tinker and play around for nostalgia and whatnot, I don't plan on connecting it to the internet of course

>>105965620
You need VM

>>105965635
But that's lame and gay and runs like shit ughhhhhhhhhhhh

>>105965639
No.
Qemu and VBox with the correct drivers you get near native level.
You will need era correct hardware otherwise.
1. SATA controllers won't work
2. NVME storage doesn't work
3. You'd be lucky to even getting Win95 to boot on anything modern then 8th gen CPU

>>105965620
No hardware made in the last 20 years will be able to run 95 at all
Also, for 9x VMs aren't perfect and what you want to use is a System Emulator like 86Box for maximum accuracy
Your only other option is entering retro PC hardware hell which is only getting worse every day for various reasons

>>105964840
it seems you got filtered.

>>105966328
I'd say using any Windows system older then Vista is best done in 86Box these days.

Is there any things I can/need to enable or disable in Windows 11 to make VirtualBox run faster (also Windows 11 in vbox). It's just super slow by default and changing core count or allocated RAM doesn't do much if anything for the virtual machine performance. Like, I can't even run a Youtube video properly in a VM with the sound cracking and lagging.

>>105966509
windows and apps rely heavily on hw acceleration (gpu usage). so make sure you have drivers+gpu passthrough or whatever setup properly.

>>105966474
86Box doesn't emulate CPUs fast enough for a smooth XP experience
The fastest CPUs 86Box has are Pentium 2s in part because 86Box's accurate emulation is extremely demanding and practically nobody could emulate a P3 or later at full speed

>>105966509
It's been a while but I remember that I once had a turtle here (slow mode) and I had to disable something in my host windows to make it a chip (run at the speed it should)

>>105966760
Since a P3 is just a P2 with full-speed L2 cache and a couple of extra instructions, this isn't the showstopper you appear to be making it out to be.

>>105966806
Ok then, have fun with XP running like molasses on a P2

>>105963836
fortunately I won't be the one who daily drives this system saar.

first impression, LTSC 11 is pretty alright. The hate seems to be overblown, but I guess it's because I don't have to deal with copilot and bloatware bullshits and haven't seen much underneath yet. The good old T440p can handle this thing for sure. Just had a bit problem with bluetooth driver that has been resolved with some tinkering. I thought I was installing windows 11 not Debian 11, lol

I will definitely come back to LTSC 11 if I ever need a wangblows OS again

>>105960917
hold up, you need an admin powershell for it?
cause I'm pretty sure I just wang it over regular powershell earlier today to install ms store on LTSC 11 and it just werks.

>>105967400
IoT LTSC 2024 has support until 2035 so take it easy

Need to reinstall win10, is there some sort of compiled iso that comes with all the latest updates? From what I remember it takes fucking forever to get everything up-to-date on a fresh install and it constantly nags you about this and that bullshit.

>>105967859
Grab the latest iso version from uupdump. It will have all the updates already installed unless you tell it to download a older version.

>>105967859
Massgrave use to offer latest month'd ISOs but they were taking too much space so they only offer the original RTM ISOs now. But like the other anon said you can use uupdump to create a latest monthly update ISO from scratch.

>old motherboard has bent pins on an old "retro" (I guess) Windows XP machine
I would get it repaired but apparently that's not really a viable thing (seems very niche) and buying a replacement board would be cheaper and probably the most convenient.

If I order a motherboard of the same model, and swap CPUs/components around, will there be any issues with my genuine windows activation?
If there will be problems, then fuck it I guess it's MAS time and I should just get an upgraded one.
If not, then getting the same board sounds nice.

No you don't need to do much to LTSC at all, just run a tool like ShutUp10 on it to disable shit like the telemetry etc.

>>105964951
Given what the update does is quite simple, I don't think it will fuck up something during the installation, and just after that. Some anon here reported success adding this package some generals ago, with the system properties showing 22H2.

Theoretically, since your W10 version will now be 22H2, you might be limited to 22H2-destined updates.
But as every W10 version from 2004 to 22H2 is Vibranium-based (the system files are still internally versioned 10.0.19041.xxx: 19041 being the initial release of Vibranium - version 2004), there shouldn't be any potential issues, at least until October this year when non-ESU support for mainstream Windows 10 22H2 systems ends.
>one scenario that comes to my mind is a possible splitting of Vibranium updates between LTSC 2021 and ESU-only 22H2, the latter of checks whether your system is licensed for ESU before installing the updates
>ESU, for obvious reasons, does not handle [IoT]EnterpriseS due to the edition's long-term-service nature - supported at most until 2032
>although MAS' TSForge did claim to support activating ESU for IoTEnterpriseS before release 3.1

It will depend on whether the CBS packages within any further LTSC 2021 and ESU-only 22H2 updates continue to be identical like how it currently is, from that date. If the status quo doesn't change (and Windows Update will still deliver LTSC-specific updates for unofficial [IoT]EnterpriseS 22H2 systems after that date, without sacrificing 22H2-specific code and features on that side), you're free to go.
Yet again, time will tell. You can always uninstall the enablement package like the paste says to revert back to 21H2.

>>105966785
Just checked and yeah, you are right, I do have a turtle icon there. From a quick google seems like you need to disable a bunch of security shit to make it go away like core isolation and Virtual Machine Platform.
Disabling core isolation didn't do anything for the performance or getting rid of the turtle, Virtual Machine Platform was already disabled for me as well as Hypervisor so not sure where to dig from here. I'll try to mess around with disabling it via registry or policies then I guess, maybe Windows Features list is lying to me about VMP being disabled.

>>105970102
I've jumped ship from W10 to W11 and recently, and aside from some questionable UI changes it's not that different from W10 honestly.
In some aspects it's way superior, like for me personally it's the proper borderless windowed mode for games that finally works like a proper fullscreen mode. I can run a game in 2K in borderless windowed with Nvidia DSR while having my desktop in native 1080p and the game will actually run in 2K with instant alt-tab and such. After Windows 10 this shit is like magic.

>>105970396
>borderless windows mode for games
You can do this in windows 11 without 3rd party software (besides native game settings)?

>>105970411
Basically any modern game that has "fullscreen" option 99% of the time runs in borderless windowed mode. Some games specifically split the option into Fullscreen Exclusive and Fullscreen.
What I mean is that any game that runs in borderless or "fake" fullscreen actually runs as if it's proper fullscreen on Windows 11.
I think you can achieve this on Windows 10 too by using SpecialK, but I remember even the author of SpecialK said that people should upgrade to Windows 11 for gaming because Windows actually does proper borderless mode natively now.

Also adding to my example with virtual resolution (running the game in 2K with native desktop res being 1080p), on Windows 10 I had to use fullscreen exclusive because 2K was either unavailable when borderless mode was selected or you could select it but the game would still run in 1080p.
Another thing that it helps with is GSYNC, it's just more consistent since on Nvidia "Fullscreen & Windowed" mode in GSYNC settings has some issues, so you can just leave it at Fullscreen only and it will work properly with borderless games since they're essentially treated as Fullscreen application.

>>105969988
updating the post: what killed the turtle is setting EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity to 0 in the registry. Seems like disabling core isolation would've done in older builds of Windows but 24H2 runs some other shit that doesn't fully disable VBS.
Not sure about security impact of disabling core isolation and vbs though, I'm not a total tech retard and I don't download random shit from the internet but still...
VM runs a lot better now and shows proper V sign instead of turtle.

Hello, I'm using W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 from the pastebin in this thread and I'm now getting a message in the Xbox app telling me to update Windows, even though no updates are available at the moment. It's preventing me from logging on and playing the games. What should I do to get rid of this message? Thanks!

>>105971024
I don't know maybe you can spoof the system version somehow.

>>105971024
stop being onions and install windows 11 already, it'll only get worse when the support for mainline win10 gets dropped

>>105971024
You'll probably have to do an inplace upgrade (keeps your apps and files) with a win10 iot ltsc 22h2 iso

>>105971024
i thought there were no issues with the Xbox app in 21H2, maybe you have to update the MS Store?

Yeah, that sounds like what I had to disable too
I feel like VirtualBox should explain that shit to you in some popup the first time you get the turtle

alright, I've been on linux for the past 3 years or so, but too many small niggles in the general experience have been irritating me more and more recently. today I wanted to change to mono audio for a test and found out you can't do that shit easily here without multiple packages and terminal commands, while on windows it's like, a single toggle. I think that shit made me schizo out for a good few minutes.
I've been out of the game for a while, and have a W11 microwin ISO ready to go from a while back, is that a good path? are there better W11 "de-bloated" or whatever options nowadays or should I go to W10 LTSC?

>>105973768
https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

Pick windows 11 LTSC. No bloat at all, if you don't like some of the UI you can install Startallback to make whatever part of the UI to go back to the win10 look. There's a 100day trial which you can reset by reinstalling windows, or just get the 5$ lifetime key.

>startallback
I really don't care about that, sorry

>>105973973
Not that Anon, but IoT LTSC is not the same as a debloated GAC ISO
IoT LTSC is frozen on a version and never gets any feature updates, and it gets security updates for 10 years (which is why a lot of Anons are on the last W10 IoT LTSC: They get to have security updates on W10 until 2032)

>>105971725
It was one of the first things that broke akshually. LTSC doesn't have Store, so Store apps follow GAC release cadence quite closely.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, I am very new to this

Is it possible to "mix" different W11 or even W10 OS and UI features and preinstalled software from different versions that I happen to like?

For example, I want the Classic Task manager, notepad, paint, and wordpad included/the new ones disabled, but I want being able to have tabs within windows for the Windows Explorer folder viewer, and the ability to scroll through grouped windows of a certain application in the taskbar when it shifts to a drop down list with the mouse scroll wheel.

Is there a way to get that all in the same W11 LTSC install, even if I have to use third party tools and UI hacks (or can some even get that to work with W10 via some) even though some of those were added or went away with different updates, some past when LTSC is from?

>>105973666
>sure, maybe if they remove all that react native garbage and other bloat. but that won't happen
5700x3d, 4060, 32gb ram
literally no perceivable difference in performance compared to windows 10, if anything some games actually feel smoother
and no i'm not an autist who looked at every single number and did a before/after test
also what bloat? just use the unattend.xml to remove most of it during the install process, it's going to be less bloated than default windows 10 install

>>105975040
yes, in theory, I have seen anon here smuggle XP erra utils into W10, do I know how to do it? no, you probably need to do it the simple way of installing the OS in a VM and just moving it to the new OS manually

>>105975014
It's not a dumb question - it's a complicated question, with multiple solutions, all of which have pros and cons. It's a laptop (which are famous for being very inflexible about their boot procedures), so it may not handle multiple EFI System partitions - so we can't guarantee a multi-ESP configuration (the hardest to break) will work for you - not to mention multiple ESPs means you want to "mirror" your BCD configuration between all the ESPs if you want dual boot to always work. It's why we're all shy to give you a hard list of steps to set this up - there are too many unknowns.

Is it a good idea to install IoT LTSC instead of regular versions on someone else's computer? They don't want the shitty feature updates, but I don't know if it's more complicated to use for the average user

>>105976357
It literally depends on the use case
If grandma just wants to browse facebook and check her mail on her 2010 machine then it's probably fine to set up W10 IoT LTSC 2021 for her
If it's a normalfag gamer who often plays the latest AAA games then he might find it annoying when he'll have to manually upgrade to a newer LTSC or tweak shit in a few years
The average normalfag doesn't want to deal with shit like the IoT LTSC 22H2 workaround

Anons, it looks like Windows 10 is now the Windows 7 of our times. So, I just got a ryzen 9950x. Is it good to go back to Windows 10? Or does Windows 11 have better "support" for this CPU?

>>105975262
Well, basically all of what you just said went over my head.

Should I just remove the current OS drive then while installing LTSC? Also, does install instructions differ at all for W10 LTSC vs W11 LTSC?

I am going to install Windows 7 on my t480

I can't take it anymore. Fuck Linux and fuck Windows 10

Is there a way to selectively disable automatic restarts on W11 LTSC?

Not automatic updates, I'd still want those downloaded automatically, but specifically just automatic/forced restarts?

Or does LTSC disable automatic updates by default anyways?

>>105983232
Yes, see picrel. Especially the highlighted section.

>>105983232
>>105983333
Also, make sure to configure 'Configure automatic updates' group policy. I'm actually not sure if #3 will auto-restart. Do not disable this otherwise the >>105983333 group policy won't run.

>>105975213
Well, can an anon with W11 IoT LTSC comment on if it supports scrolling through multiple windows of the same program with your mouse wheel like this?

I think this was only added in some W11 update, so i'm not sure.

I'm also curious if any anons who have messed with W10 UI tweak or debloating tools know if any of them can add this functionality to W10 IoT LTSC, alongside being able to have multiple tabs with different folders open, within 1 Windows Explorer folder viewer window, which was also added with some W11 LTSC update (I am told W11 IoT LTSC DOES at least have)

>>105983194
Don't forget that you can now activate W7 ESU with MAS TSforge to download the last updates directly from MS instead of having to use Simplix

>>105983668
Like just all the updates that you use to get from Simplix are just included in the TSforge ESU now so you can get them straight from MS? That's pretty nifty.

>>105984907
>just all the updates that you use to get from Simplix are just included in the TSforge ESU
What TSForge does is just add the ESU licensing data to SPP's trusted store, so that the licensing checks won't set off.
It doesn't magically include all the ESU updates, my fellow n7gger.

I was using PortableApps for most of my apps, as I believe they sandbox software better than Scoop, but there are some limitations.
Mostly with web browser. I have LibreWolf and succeeded in registering it as the default web browser Windows-wide, but every time I click on a link from an external app e.g. Discord then it says there's already a LibreOffice running and it cannot open a new one (instead of just opening in the open one as a tab). Apparently this is because the browser has not been installed like a normal browser, I guess.
Does Scoop have the same issue?
How would I go from transferring the totality of my profile + history + bookmarks from the PortableApps LibreWolf to the Scoop LibreWolf?

I got an error saying there are no valid drivers when installing W10 IoT LTSC 2021. What do?

Then again, I'm not sure how the WebExtensions rewrite fares compared to the original XUL extension. Haven't used the foxy ever since the XULocaust.

Otherwise find a desktop download manager worth a damn that has browser integration (with a helper extension.)
I know IDM does, and same for ArrowDL (which is basically a DownThemAll clone, but as a desktop app). Not sure about JDownloader2 though.
>>105990733 (dubs)
Try different USB ports. Otherwise change the method you chose to prepare the install medium - Rufus or Ventoy should be a good bet. Hope you aren't straight-up dd'ing the ISO (or using balenaEtcher).
You'd actually expect this kind of stuff to happen when installing an earlier version of Windows (e.g. 7), due to the lack of XHCI and NVMe drivers.
>or try actually specifying the storage controller drivers, you dip

Okay, I have an old problem that spans several windows versions, Ive had this harddrive for a while.
Im on windows 10 and this harddrive has files on it in a specific folder. In this folder there are subfolders. And in these subfolders more subfolders and files.
Whenever I try to change anything about this folder, including adding new folders, moving or deleting, it tells me I dont have permissions. I am administrator and the only user on this PC. I tell it to "Continue" with the blue&yellow shield icon, but it says I "need permission from x". When i try to uncheck "read only" from the folder settings, it tells me "access denied" for every single subfolder.
Now, X is an elusive fellow. His actual name is a long string of numbers. But he owns the folder, every single subfolder and file in it. I assume he's an earlier version of my account from earlier windows installations when I hadnt linked up to my microsoft account yet.
I managed change the owner of the folder to "everyone" and delete the elusive Mr.X, then grant "everyone" all rights and permissions to the folder but I still cant modify any subfolders because they still belong to Mr. X. The result is that now says i "need permission from everyone." whenever I try to modify or move a superfolder.
What I can do is go to the lowest level of each file, change the owner to everyone, grant all permissions to everyone, then delete or move the file, then move one level up and do it again. That would be THOUSANDS of objects.
Trying to solve this with the "inheritance" setting in "advanced security settings" just creates more confusion. i dont even know what that is and if it should be enabled or disabled. In some cases, this created a new user called "CREATOR OWNER"
Now my question is: WTF is going on and how do i fix it?

It's finally gotten to the point where I pretty much HAVE to move from Windows 7 to Windows 10 now, but god, I don't want to have to backup all my files and set my browser and such up again. It takes forever.

It's just about 200GB of data. Game, saves, files etc. It just takes an annoying amount of time and waiting to copy all this to one of my externals. There's also a couple installed programs that can't be moved and will break that I'll have to remember exist at some point and reinstall.
>Browser
I have over a hundred tabs because I have goldfish memory and would forget any of this stuff exists if i wasn't open at all times. That said, it's incredibly easy to trick a new install of a browser to think a transferred session backup is its own and restore all your tabs. Again, it's just annoying and takes time. I just want to play videogames, but the game doesn't want to work with Windows 7 so now I'm stuck spending all my free time installing Windows 10 and being frustrated.

>>105993394
I'm curious. What made it so you actually have to switch now?
Also, I thought you could just upgrade W7 to W10. Dunno if it's easy if you want to switch to IoT LTSC 2021 though

>>105993574
Setup a portable Librewolf and all your shit will always carry on in one directory.
What is so difficult to copy files over night???

>>105993720
>I'm curious. What made it so you actually have to switch now?
Well over time, more games or programs I'd want to install (like an OCR) just weren't compatible. This became increasingly the case. At first I could find alternatives and workarounds, but those have also become rarer over time. Now recently, a game I play got an update and now doesn't want to work in W7. Then today, a different game I wanted to try wouldn't work on 7 either. So it's just gotten to the point where I have to update, or basically won't be able to use this computer for anything but browsing the internet.
>I thought you could just upgrade W7 to W10. Dunno if it's easy if you want to switch to IoT LTSC 2021 though
Microsoft basically 'retired' the ability to upgrade from 7 to 10 and I'd definitely want the long term support version over having to switch to 11 in a year or two.
>>105993729
I wanted to play the game now, dude, not tomorrow. It's just petty annoyance.

Try something like Joplin or Notesnook then

what i do when reinstalling windows for people is i boot up a linux livecd, and go through their "C:" and just delete everything that isn't needed, windows, program files (except certain ones like steam which are reusable), etc. distilling it down to basically just user data which i move into a new folder (so the end result is like "C:\Backup" with everything you want to keep in it). deleting windows boot/recovery partitions so it can make new ones, and installing windows from there. NOT selecting to format the volume
it sounds like more work but it's usually much faster because you aren't copying everything off and copying it back at all, just moving your stuff "out of the way" temporarily on the same volume, which is basically instant.

if you don't use the Xbox services and MS Store, then removing those and some basic debloating and telemetry tweaks will get rid of most of it. But if you use any stuff from the MS Store then you'll not be able to do much about it

>>105994732
Xbox app is so unholy it's actually fascinating how it even ended up that way.

>>105995508
I mean not really, it's current Microsoft.
We're lucky we can use the least cucked versions of 10/11 freely with the ability to remove basically all the real telemetry so easily ourselves.

I just moved on from windows 10 to windows 11, because support will end october this year.

What am I in for? It has better security and performance right?

>>105999029
At its core 10 and 11 are very, very similar. You'll basically have the same experience you had with 10 on 11 just that everything will look different UI style wise.
Native features include auto HDR, native DNS-over-HTTPS system wide and the DirectStorage API.

Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.

Any know fix? googling says disabling some microsoft login service might help but it prob breaks some other stuff
As usual microsoft forums has some 30 pages of posts of people going "yep still a problem 3 years later lmao"

>>105999459
Maybe try the "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" into "sfc /scannow" then restart sweep first to see if it gets cleaned up.
You could also try repair upgrading as well, mostly because this error is system file based.

Does W11 LTSC already contain the updated ryzen thread scheduler?
Asking since I usually disable updates as soon as I install windows.

Thank god for PowerToys.

the new powetoys run kinda sucks

Where can I find a safe download for FL Studio? Is 1337x to trustworthy? I only get movies/shows there

>>105999818
>Asking since I usually disable updates as soon as I install windows.
There's no good reason to disable updates on LTSC as it only gets security updates
The entire point of LTSC is stability so it doesn't get feature updates that change or break the system. It's made to be used on stuff like medical devices and such

>>105942625
Look up shellexview, you want a context menu editor.

>>106002601
1337x is pretty much present day piratebay. Just use an FL Studio torrent that has lots of seeds and comments saying it works fine. Like this is where people get their working Photoshop CS6 installers from.

>>105940417
Did you try Debian? Just works... Windows 11 isn't an option at this point.

>>105990695
Notice how in the post you're replying to he uses the word "Program" but you use the term "App?" That's because you're a subhuman nigger and he's not. No other explanation.

>>106006286
What a ridiculous fetch. This shit has gotten out of hand.

>>105944811
But you need classic shell to remove half the cancer and registry edits for the other half. '3D objects'? OneDrive integration into explorer? The entire Start Menu situation?Christ, when you press WindowsKey+E it doesn't even open up "My Computer" (sorry, 'This PC') by default anymore.

I've come home after trying linux. Packaging on linux is so bad. If you want to update just 1 app, you have to update the other 50 apps on your PC! If 1 out of those 50 version updates introduced a bug? You're stuck with it! Also, GIMP sucks.

>>106006316
It's funny how autistic people are about using the most private browsers and minimizing fingerprinting, and then they go ahead and post a detailed list of their operating system and hardware

Wrong
>If 1 out of those 50 version updates introduced a bug?
Rare unless you use a distro with bleeding edge packages like Arch

I prefer Windows myself because it's still more "just works" than Linux, but you don't have to make shit up

Ok, then. But only because you asked nicely :).

>>106004974
I would advise against blindly downloading from unknown sources. Many seeds doesn't mean much and most people who comment are literal tards.
Rutracker has a section for audio software and that's a forum. I'd pick one guy who has hundreds or thousands of posts and pick his torrent instead.
But whatever.
If you need to ask, you are already stupid enough to not even notice when your computer gets infected.

Anyone know how to fix a scanning and repairing drive load loop? I keep getting it and it restarted my PC and after clicking on my windows partition it does the exact same thing over and over again constantly. I tried going into safe mode, turning off my PC, and everything and nothing works.

he probably tried arch, where updating one package is actually unsupported (though possible for most programs if you know what you're doing)

he probably did

Take ownership at the top level and force propagate it down. Close and reopen the properties window and then grant yourself full access and force propagate down. If it doesn't work you might have better luck with the command line, ask chatgpt for details

are you going to answer my question or just behave like a feral indian nigger?

I used this (https://github.com/SiL3NC3/PortableRegistrator) to register floorp installed using scoop as my default browser. Whenever I click on a link on Discord or steam, it opens using floorp, so I think you may find it useful. it should work with any portable app, not just those installed through scoop.

Stupid question, will I get some sort of interference between GPU and iGPU if I don't uninstall the drivers? I'm on Windows 11 and even though the display port is connected to the GPU the system keeps giving me the option to use the iGPU.

>>106011470
Why not just disable the iGPU entirely from the firmware settings, seeing as you don't have any display connected to the mobo ports (unless you want to specifically use it for some purpose?)
I guess with multiple GPUs Windows will allow you to choose which to use per-app (think laptop switchable graphics.)
