Night light keeps turning off on Windows 11 whenever my monitor goes to sleep. This never happened on Windows 10. Any fix or should I just use f.lux?

>>106186733
You should just use f.lux, it's always just werked

What are the things you always forget/have to remember to do while reinstalling Windows

Stuff like exporting bookmarks, browser extension settings, etc

I'm dreading a reinstall because I feel like I'm going to forget something and lose something forever

>>106186733
This happened to me when I stuffed up the display drivers.

>>106187874
I've turned my previous installs into VHDs (that can then be native-booted) for decades precisely to avoid exactly these sorts of problems.

Don't expect it to be bullet-proof, though. Take Chromium-likes, for example: certain browser profile files like Cookies, Passwords or Local State are protected with the old user's DPAPI secrets, thus importing them as-is will fail.

Not to mention the "Secure Preferences" JSON protecting the profile folder from being tampered by malware. It's tied to the machine SID.

Otherwise make sure you have your offline installers ready, use DISM or PnPUtil to export all of your drivers installed so that you can import (and install) them back.

How fucked up is the upgrade to windows 11, does windows still manage to destroy itself if you don't do a clean install.

10 and 11 are similar enough that the change to 11 shouldn't be with much issue.

I honestly think you're being too hopeful for them, I don't think there's anyone left there with the capability of thinking two steps ahead, like for God's fucking sake, the CEO is a pajeet, and everything M$ done since he took over has been for the worse with the only goal in mind of milking as much money as they can from every single retard who doesn't want to know any better.
Hell, even macos, as shit and pajeet applel is, feels like night and day from M$, and the fucking OS is the most retardedly designed and with the worst UX you can find, but at least what it does, does it well and without shoving hundreds of ads in your face.

>>106194642
i had to set it to play battlefield 6

>>106194642
contrary to popular belief, it's actually good to have it enabled, and there's virtually no downsides of using it, even Linux plays nice with it in dual boot

A little while ago, I saw a picture of a windows system on here, that had each type of UI they've used over the years all on the screen at once. Has anyone got that?

>>106194642
Most tards like you who are crying about it are too stupid to use their own PCs. Also, these underage faggots don't even realize that it enabled by default in most systems.

There’s a way to install Windows 10 IoT LTSC without losing data on the official Massgrave website, but why wasn’t it mentioned in any of the LTSC installation guides?

>>106196131
because they're outdated and OP doesn't care

I built up a new fresh computer and I'm trying to be better with file organization for my creative projects (Blender, After Effects, Photoshop, etc). What I used to do was have two big folders (one for Blender, one for everything else) on my desktop for each program and organize projects, resources, etc in folders within those folders. Kind of chaotic but it makes sense to me.
Couple of questions. Does having that stuff on my desktop instead of a different directory make things slower? Also, does anyone have any words of wisdom/resources to share for better and faster file management for creative processes? I feel like I generally have the hang of it but there's always ways to improve.

>>106195811
It's not "bad" other than maybe it is a false sense of security, but it also doesn't really enhance security since there are plenty of ways around it.

>>106196131

Is there a way to keep a window on top, like on Linux? It's really the one thing I miss the most.

>>106197620
unless the application supports it like certain things do like mpc-hc for example, not really

what you could do is write a python script using ctypes or a c/c++ program and set it manually with the winapi though

I've been complaing about OP being horrendously neglected but the next OP never bother to add more info.

How can I check why a program is trying to access a HDD? I have an external drive that goes to sleep and takes a few seconds to wake up and when I open magnet files in firefox and when I open one specific game in steam the harddrive starts booting up and freezes the programs while it does. There's no files being used on it so I don't understand why.

>>106199762
Resource Monitor would help here.

>>106199809
I don't really know how to use it but when I opened it and the game I didn't see any log mentioning the external drive being accessed,

>>106186408 (OP)
I'm very stumped. I downloaded the Win11 IoT LTSC image from the OP's linked pastebin and I keep getting thrown into the sign in to your university prompt for the university of toronto? Is my Windows ISO bad? I got it from massgrave.

>>106200250
Get the ISO from massgrave's repo anon. Also I've never seen anything like this.

So in last thread there was a frogposter asking about using Linux as main system, dual booting a windows installation on a second drive.
I did that and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. I set it all up, it loaded into grub like it should etc. but the next day it stopped working. Not booting with no signal to monitor and boot LED on, removing the windows drive makes it work again but being unable to access the bios I can't even change the load order or anything...
From the brief time I had it working I moved the Linux drive on top but I think it reverted back to windows on top after checking again.

Always check the hashes before installing

>>106200267
I just installed the IoT version of windows 10 and it works. If I want windows 11 I think I'll need a different ISO or something. Because I'm running it on qemu. No way can there be anything left over that windows somehow detects. I even wiped the file for the efi programmable storage qemu uses and the disk image.

This hyper v shit is really annoying makes using vmware a pain in the ass had to disable a bunch of security shit just so virtualization works properly

>>106200383
Use virt-manager instead of pure QEMU for an easier time with it.
Try using the clean IoT LTSC 2024 ISO from massgrave's repo as well.

>>106200393
you replied to the wrong person the post above yours and the windows 10 guy are two different people

How do I disable the fucking Windows Defender Scheduled Scan? I disabled it in task scheduler but it turned itself back on after a few days!

>>106201082
Install DefendNot and don't click on shady links.

>>106201135
I don't want to disable Defender completely, just the annoying scheduled scans.

Has anyone ever bought OEM licences through that GVGmall shop? The whole thing looks like a low effort scam

>>106201238
I'd say if an anon is here, they activated their Windows through MAS.

>>106196923
>there is no point in drive cloning
Why?

>>106201333
Yeah, I should have figured it. I don't want to activate my copy like that, but also won't dish out a quarter of a grand on it

>>106201459
I see a site called vip-scdkey shilled by some youtubers I watch, check that one out if you don't wanna use MAS for whatever reason.

>>106198816
Modern Winhoes can still require reinstalls if a Cumulative Update malfunctions and corrupts core system components. It has happened to me a few times each with both Win10 and Win11 since 2020. I'm lucky that my Ubuntu 22/24 install on its own machine has fared better, but I haven't used that computer as much. My Windows7 install that was on my Ubuntu machine hasn't needed a reinstall, but I only used it a few months before backing up the drive image and then replacing it with Ubuntu.

>>106201196
Group Policy can probably do what you want, but ALWAYS before changing anything regarding Defender, disable Tamper Protection, or the OS will undo your changes. ALWAYS.

Is it true that Windows 10 LTSC will still receive security updates after october ?

>>106201528
Yes.
The version that will not is W10 Home and Pro. Most folks with W10 out there are using one of these two.
LTSC will continue receiving updates for a few more years.

>>106199762
Bump.

>>106201521
I guess I'm lucky because a Windows 10 update has never malfunctioned/installed wrong for me in the three years or so I've used 10 machines. Could be because I always installed Windows to diskpart clean'd drives or that I always full shutdown my machine every night. Who knows.

>>106201580
I've had issues annually. I shutdown my computer each night, too. I've installed to diskpart-cleaned drives as well, but not every time.

>>106201528
There's no shame in asking questions. This stuff can b e confusing, we all know. We do get an uncivil jackass or two here that will tell you off for not being nerdy enough on the topic, but the rest of us know better. Presumably.
Not fully reading the OP is an overly common, and understandable, habit, too.

>>106201625

I did realize the answers were in the OP, so I deleted the question. Thanks for your help.

>>106186408 (OP)
Imagine having to crack your OS

>>106201716
Good thing we can use MAS and not any cracks, sweetie.

>>106201796
A bypass or a workaround is a crack.

>>106201800
Same thing I'm currently thinking. But then OEM licences are also irregular, so... Maybe I should embrace Linux, now

>>106186408 (OP)
nakaԁashi sophie-chan

>>106201800
Cracking is what R2R and such do. MAS is Microsoft-supplied, uses built-in FEATURES (that would never work if they weren't built into the OS).

Firefox breaks more and more for me every day. Chromium is garbage and hogs resources. Why is there no other real alternative to Gecko and Chromium?

>>106201716
You can buy stolen keys for a few euros on eBay, but at that point you're better off using a Microsoft-endorsed (it's still on Github lol) open-source script like KMS_VL_ALL

>>106202049
browsers are complicated as shit and people don't really want to build them. But there's ladybird which I think is set to go into alpha next year or something. And servo is not all that usable but it's getting developed.

>>106201716
Official licenses for regular Home and Pro editions can be had super cheaply and legitimately on Groupon, but security updates are only for 3 years or so. LTSC has much longer update life and is FREE for random mooks in a personal use case.

>>106201929
You still haven't refuted anything that I said.

>>106201929
>Hotwiring a car is the legitimate way to start a car because it uses parts of the car that are already there.

>>106202335
You haven't proven anything you said. And then?

>>106202430
I used a common and widely accepted linguistic colloquialism that's used when referring to bypassing official means of software activation. You don't have to prove common parlance because it's common. You're just being anal and semantic because you have nothing better to do than argue on an anime website.

>>106201716
A crack that gives you a legitimate license doesn't really sound like a crack. If Microsoft doesn't want this they could easily remove MAS from github and update windows to detect these activation methods and deactivate every installation using them. Hell they could permanently ban your device from using HWID activation.

>>106200344
Says I need to reinstall GrubHub or whatever

>>106202467
If I generate my own valid keys, is that a bypass? Or is it official?

hahaha maybe 15 years ago I would have done that. I literally opened /g/ for the first time in like a year, and searched if folks were still sucking Microsoft's dick in this thread: Yup.

Of course I would reply to an AME question.

I've been having an issue that has stumped me for a while:

Sometimes when accessing folders, performing file operations or playing games off of HDD, the system will 'hesitate' or pause for a second before continuing. Note that this is 2 x HDDs set up in a RAID 1. Both HDDs are brand new.
This also happened on my last computer, same RAID configuration with different hard drives.
Am I just buyiing shitty drives? Do RAID 1 arrays always have a 'hesitation' problem?

>>106207689
I forgot to mention, you can actually hear the HDD(s) pausing and then continuing when this happens.

Why not click donate then do nothing? They don't associate donations with sessions or devices, right?

>>106208461
I was on my home internet. It was very weird. But I installed windows 10 and it worked

>>106210119
It's not in the OP because the OP doesn't like change. Things get added/changed they change it right back.

>>106209781
this literally never happened

>>106209736
help plsss

>>106210461
you probably can't login with an empty password. i haven't looked into that specifically because that's an unusual thing to do with ssh. if it works with a password, but you don't want one, consider using pubkey auth instead. it is an alternative to using a password

copilot and chatgpt constantly forget to brace around ps variable expansions.

>>106210599
Try using Gemini Pro

>>106210606
it's no big thing, just a curious flaw. they fix it if pointed out. scripts offered have worked fine otherwise.

>>106210630
I usually just find Gemini Pro gets stuff right overall the first time.

control panel is obsolete
also it is interesting to see utf8 support

Where do UWP apps store their window size and position? No registry values are set when manipulating window, upon closing app there's something set to \REGISTRY\A, which I googled but don't understand.

>>106210637
After the chatgpt-5 debacle, what do you think is the best llm for free users? I tried gemini free and it's pretty nice. The other day I found out it can generate quizzes for you, too!

>>106208771
Just add a simple password... qwe123 or something IF it's not in a public network that is.

>>106188955
what are the advantages of this over the built in browser download manager?

>>106188955
why not just use jdownloader?

yeah, I might need to downgrade back to win10
as far as general performance goes, there's pretty much no difference between 10 and 11
even the slow downs, laggy file explorer and other things people report so much aren't true on my machine, I'm not autistic enough to be able to notice if it is 1% slower or 1% faster
but I'm noticing a considerable amount of screen flickering when alt tabbing during heavy use, some screen tearing and "freezing" (alt tabbed but need a mouse click to actually show the next screen)
just going to clean install my stinkpad's graphic drivers first and observe a little longer

i was eager to use 10 iot ltsc but cant install some programs i read OP post about doing it in cmd, idk if i write the exe filename to run it silently? but just ended up going back to pro version. I think the ltsc edition is for headless servers or something.

>>106210647
Staying on 10 and thats final. You cannot bait anymore.

i will NOT succumb to the loli temptress

>>106207689

maybe change spindown time with hdparm

>>106205294
You're not supposed to have it on unless you're viewing HDR content.

Is this a fake repo? The download link contains nothing but pic related that does nothing

thanks for existing. decided to switch to w11, great to have access to legit dls, easy activation, etc. up and running smooth

>>106216588
Dude... That's obviously malware, Wallpaper Engine is not open-source and must be bought on Steam...

Nvidia dropping driver support for Windows 10 late next year is where I start to worry

>>106209781
>>106210365
Sorry guys, I w
as high on meth and sleep deprived. The blue screen wasn't BSOD but a recovery menu thing. It had text like "ESC to go back to uefi" "F1 to try reboot"

It really did take 40 minutes though. Probably my shitty asrock mobo which automatically tries to download all drivers on first setup.

But it actually installed correctly and booted after a restart. So I just upgraded some firmware and wiped the drive afterwards. and my bios now has a better looking font too! But w11 is still as shitty as I remember. Takes half a second to open menus, taskbar still unmovable. Also there's copilot in the LTSC edition too KEK. Microsoft shills are okay with and will defend this.

>>106205744
Based and Clippypilled!
>>106207834
Satia...
>>106218057
I wouldn't worry as they are making shitty drivers for a long time, not at the level of Radeon but still...

>>106218768
I haven't updated my Nvidia drivers in a long time, but a future Nvidia sponsored game may really really need the day 0 game ready driver and in that case I will be fucked

>>106210647
If you declare it in your manifest you get native utf8 for narrow page APIs for free. Enabling systemwide is how you break shit. I have seen a lot of flies get corrupted by that setting.

>>106218791
Not really anon, some drivers work well with old Windows versions.
Especially because WIndows 11 and 10 are almost the same on that level. But, we'll see...

>>106212834
Gemini Pro is usually the leader on most LLM battleground leaderboard sites, followed by the o3/o4 variants of ChatGPT.

>>106213389
Same for me and now im undecisive of putting 10 pro back on or 11 pro cause i know the end of life thing is 3 years but time goes fast. I read more on that ltsc thing it can be used for headless machines whereas server edition is essentially for servers. Both of them i wouldnt recommend for your daily driver. The ltsc/server doesnt seem any different when i was benchmarking a few games i owned so yeah just using whatever works for now.

>>106209736
>I suspect this is a windows setting/issue
You are correct: Windows hasn't allowed blank passwords for ANYTHING but local console logon (by default) since Vista.
>I have the gpedit setting limit blank passwords for local account to console only
That is only for RDP logons, not anything else.
The only suggestion I have is to try a diferent SSH client that doesn't obey Windows' password requirements.

>>106213389
>ltsc edition is for headless servers
Sorta, but no. It's an "embedded" edition, and while server is a type of embedded role, and LTSC can be used as a rough-and-ready server, it has (artificial) limitations that a proper Windows Server SKU doesn't.
In reality, LTSC is meant for things like ATMs, medical equipment, POS terminals etc., where it's stripped-down nature and low-impact update policy can shine.

I would like to be able to move windows with Windows Key + left click and resize them with windows key + middle click. What is the best way to accomplish this?

>>106220029
I just wrote a 20-line program in my head that would do that: it works by listening for NCCLICK messages, checks the status of modifier keys (though I'm not certain you'd be able to use the Windows key, Ctrl, Alt etc. would be fine) and taps on DefWindowProc to make the window think you've selected Move or Size from the window's System menu.
I have no idea if anyone's ever written something remotely like this, however.

>>106220029
maybe autohotkey?

Who could track an IP address just by taking into account the information of the browser used, device used, country and city?

>>106205186
any good foss alternative?

is there anything like rainmeter but not bloated? I just want graphs for CPU usage, individual disk usage, and cpu/gpu temps

>>106221244
you can format hwinfo64 gadget registry entries to anything you want with python or whatever if you dont want to use p*thon

>>106221208
It's 5 euros...

>>106195794
From Finland actually. Thanks for the tip.

>>106221505
>>106195794
Thanks - ironically. I don't see any punctuation issues. Most Americans are just too stupid to understand English because it is not American English, and some certain Kentucky dialect.
Drink bleach faggot and go eat some french fries for school dinner.

>>106221208
Look up Lively Wallpaper

Active fork of AltDrag. Defaults to Alt hotkeys by default, but can be configured to use Windows keys instead.
You can also reassign mouse functions so that window resizing will work with MMB instead of RMB by default.

You're not being Friendly

Does 4chan X work on the latest Chrome? I've seen anons complaining it's broken, is it fixable

>>106222416
IIRC it's because userscript managers like Violentmonkey/Greasemonkey don't work with MV3 properly.

>>106221488

i rather look black and see waifu when it is freedom

>>106222416
>still using Chrome after they killed MV2
Nigga if you hate Firefox at least use a chromium browser that still supports MV2 but Jesus stop using that cucked browser

>>106223120
Brave is like the only Chromium browser that still supports MV2

>>106223131
Still a better option
I wouldn't be able to go back to browsing 4chan without Violentmonkey and 4chan XT

>>106223196
Not saying Brave is bad. It's basically the only good Chromium browser left.

Anyone know how to check my current ClearType settings so I can apply the same exact options to a new PC?

Or the same font rendering options in general, W10 just seems to have ass font rendering no matter what I do (feels like I tried everything with both ClearType and MacType), whereas I don't even remember having to adjust it on my old W8.1

>>106223208
>basically the only good Chromium browser left
ungoogled
chromium

>>106223217
Does it keep MV2?

>>106223216
>Anyone know how to check my current ClearType settings so I can apply the same exact options to a new PC?
Registry contains font rendering configuration (HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop):
https://github.com/bp2008/BetterClearTypeTuner/wiki/ClearType-Investigations
Additionally there are font rendering settings that pertain to WPF applications (which the desktop composition part of Windows may or may not use them, also): {HKCU|HKLM}\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics

Wild guess - is that a (QD-)OLED display you're using for the new PC? ClearType was made with LCDs in mind, by the way.

>>106218861
The Windows 11 requirement slowly crawling into the game world is pure BS, more political than some kind of genuine software need.
Pure faggotry.

>>106224963
Every computer made in the last 8 years can run 11 officially, every computer made in the last 17 can run it unofficially.
TL;DR: Sorry you're poor dude.

is tiny10 a meme? dont care about the potential security risks, im just looking for a windows 10 iso thats relatively debloated by default so i dont have to spend hours removing all the aids microsoft has kindly gifted me with the install (even ltsc has a lot of bloat)

>>106225086
There hasn't been any backlash against Tiny10/Tiny11 really.
Tiny11 also recently dropped a version of itself that uses 25H2 as the backend which is cool.

>>106221358
I don't know how to do that. I currently use hwinfo64 graphs for the temps but I have to manually send them to my other screen every time my computer wakes up.

>>106224963
>>106225008
Which games absolutely require W11?

>>106225086
I remember reading it was suspicious, and the creator didn't bother to address the doubts.

Just hate how WD marks everything as a virus specially cracked shit

>>106225356
If you wanna use cracked stuff you should try to put it all in one excluded folder so it won't pipe up at you constantly.

>>106225356
>Just hate how WD marks everything as a virus specially the primary vector for viruses
FIFY. You're welcome.

>>106225370
I will do that in my other PC, playing VNs is better when lying down

>>106225356
you guys havent disabled defender entirely yet?

>>106224524
Thank you

>Wild guess - is that a (QD-)OLED display you're using for the new PC?
No I'm reusing the same LCD display which is why the wildly different font rendering is so bewildering to me, they *fucked* something up along the way when just leaving it alone would've been great

>>106225356
Disable it. There are guides online.
*** Make sure you disable Tamper Protection before doing anything! Your changes will be undone otherwise. ***
Rely on Malwarebytes' Antimalware to cover your ass instead.
