AI slop hallucination

Alright guys I'm so done installing OS over and over again, just tell me what to use and I'll stick to it. Windows 10 ltsc or 11 ltsc?

I swear that games feel more smooth in windows 10 (could be placebo idk), but after spending so much time using windows 11 at home, work and in college, I actually got used to the UI and I can't help but feel that win10 looks ugly in comparison to 11.

>>106482068
10 iot ltsc
then 11 iot ltsc or 12 iot ltsc when 2032 rolls around

>>106482068
I'd keep to windows 10 iot ltsc for now. And rather switch to windows 11 iot when either the programs I want to use don't work (the only one I know of is newest photoshop, and I use CC15 still) or the 2027 release of windows 11 iot ltsc is an improvement

What are you guys going to do when LTSC 2021 loses support?

>>106482503
I mean that's literally 7 years into the future.

Man I want to try World of Tanks, but I have more space on the windows drive than the linux drive. Please hurry up, Microsoft.

>>106482878

>>106480180 (OP)
Add task bar height shortner.
Further gripe being that Explorer Patcher doesn't work on Windows 11 ;_;

>>106482892
Already have it installed on linux, so not a problem. But all the marketing for that 2.0 update has me interested in at least trying it out, and I have space on the Windows drive.

Do I download the zip on the MAS github page? Sorry for noob question.

>>106483476
You can, or you can use it through the irm powershell command.

>>106483487
Are you saying option 1 is just run the powershell command without downloading anything or option 2 download the zip, unpack it and run the script?

>>106483547
Option 1 downloads the script to the temp folder with a random hash so it doesn't trip Defender.

https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows

is this any good?

>>106483636
Gotcha. So downloading would only be necessary when you want to activate a PC with no internet connection, right? I mean download from a connected device and transfer it on a USB stick to the PC you want activated.

>>106483675
Yes, the manual script is mainly for offline activation methods that it can use.

>>106483087
Thanks for letting us know.

>>106483691
Alright, thanks!

is it just me or Win11 feels way more stable than Win10? Seems they just got their shit together and asking for higher requirements was the right way to go for ironing out bugs

>muh win 10 support running out!
>not just disabling updates as soon as your windows installation finishes

I have been doing this for 10+ years and never had a single issue or my bank account hacked.

What is your excuse?

>>106480180 (OP)
Does Win 11 IoT LTSC let you install it without an online account out of the box? I mean without hacky workarounds.

>>106482068
Win10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 has the least amount of things you have to change to keep it from downloading, installing, and otherwise changing shit without your knowledge or consent. That alone makes it better than the rest.

I'm so scared of the sdd bug bros

>>106485105

Does anyone know if it is possible to share the connection from my PC to my phone? I was thinking of running a server at home and connecting my phone to eliminate a mobile data plan to cut costs. Data providers in my country has started to slow down the speed of mobile internet so I would rather get faster fibre connction and connect it to my phone but maybe that isnt possible?

>>106485314
yea u can if u have WiFi. You can follow this guide, just ignore the stuff meant for VPN lol

Are there any android emulator/player for windows that is not utter garbage?

>>106485361
no i tried a few one of them bluescreened my PC cause i picked a different drive than C to install to

>>106485361
I'd avoid every one of them. Tried that Tencent's emulator for CoD Mobile year or so ago and Jesus wept: humans don't deserve this much suffering.

>>106483750
No problem!

>>106485361
All of them are mediocre, but I could recall Genymotion being the least shitty one. It isn't necessarily gayman-oriented, though
Then there's Bluestacks, considered as a standard choice and was pretty much decent back then
I'd avoid those chink ones like Nox and LDPlayer if you value not getting into le botnetz

Haven't used any of those "emulators" for years anyways, so I can't recommend you one, but you might wanna check the >>>/vg/emugen wiki on this matter
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Android_emulators

>>106485314
what you want is a wireless router, plug your wired internet to the router and connect your phone to the router'sts wifi, done. Kinda more for /sqt/ tho

I would like a free lightweight P2P offline LAN instant messenger client. Ideally, self-contained in one window.

I want to be able to send links to the person across the room without logging into some server.

I would like to be able to harass them in the rare event that the internet goes down

IPMSG is almost perfect, but everything comes through windows "notifications" and are invisible on the 2nd monitor when they're playing games.

I could probably force them onto Signal, Skype or Discord, but I'm convinced something like this exists

Thanks

>>106483896
Win11 had a lot of stability fixes recently.

>>106483646
As always the only useful feature is the registry tweaks which something like ShutUp10++ is better suited for.

>>106484157

you cant activate without internet anyway so there's pretty much no use for the download anymore

>>106487422
>you cant activate without internet anyway
Depends on the method my guy

>>106484246
Yep, LTSC doesn't have any arbitrary requirements. You can install it on pretty much any hardware without any fuss.

How much is it possible to de-cancer Win11? Been having issues with my ancient 10 install and considering I'm going to do a clean reinstall anyway I figure I might as well go to 11
I don't need a perfect privacy machine I just don't want to be bombarded in advertisements or have to completely relearn my muscle memory for file explorer etc

Bluestacks has been chink spyware botnet malware for years at this point, if you really want to use it, DO NOT log-in with your Google account.

>>106480180 (OP)
I've never even used Win 10, went straight from 7 to 11 lol. No problems so far (went with LTSC version of course.)

>win 10 iot ltsc: installed
>shutup10 all settings: applied
>license: activated

Comfy. Time to install Steam!

>>106490759
>All settings
That's gonna bite you in the ass at some point. Should just use the recommended ones.

>>106490788
uh oh :(

>>106490838
You can just run ShutUp10 again and just set the recommend settings via the top bar. Should turn off all the other orange and red settings.

>>106488744
then you're going to need a public/static IP for your home server, a domain, maybe a VPN and a lot of tinkering

>>106482493
Programs will probably continue to support Windows 10 until the ESU program ends. So at least 3 years would be my best guess.
>>106482068
I've been using Windows 11 for almost 2 years now and after tweaking it (telemetry + UI) I kinda like it although you seem to like the UI how it is by default which will require less setup. I'd say go with whichever you like more.

>>106490414
10 was pretty decent actually. It wasn't anything special but it was a stable solid OS. I only started using W11 recently and it's fine, I preferred 10's UI but it's nothing a few tweaks can't fix.

>>106490838
>just use the recommended ones.
Eh, I went through all the settings and I've been using all but 23 settings just fine. All of them is overkill and will likely bite you in the ass but recommended is only if you don't have enough time to tweak it to your liking imo.
>>106490759

>>106491326
I actually hated 10's UI (one of the reasons I didn't upgraded) because of the full retard flat design fad that made it look like Windows 3.1. Win 11 UI is what 10 should have been but it's still inferior to macOS's.

There's a built-in way to transfer the OS from one storage device to another?

>>106491694
cloning a drive?

>>106491694
Use a cloning software like Macrium Reflect. The installer links in the OP are what you should use.

>>106491694
you could probably write any kinda linux to a pendrive and dd

What's the alternative to macrium reflect, now that it went full subscription

>>106491833
Use the links in the OP to get the last good versions of it.

I'm going to switch to 10 LTSC IoT at the end of the month, currently using an i7 9700K.
Thought about getting the 9800X3D but heard that performance is way better with 11. What's a reasonable "upgrade" that works fine with 10? Not going to use 11, don't care if it's LTSC, everything I read about it tells me it's even more cancerous than 10.

>>106491918
Use 10 Enterprise 22H2 with the ESU updates enabled. You'll be able to stay on 10 until late 2028.

>>106491694
Clonezilla or Rescuezilla if you need a GUI.

>>106491931
Isn't the final Enterprise version 21H2? I thought 22H2 is only for the regular shit versions and I already have that.

>>106491918
>>106491931
Just install W11 iot LTSC and use explorer patcher to make it usable. It's way better than W10. Just the new flip model makes it worth it alone if you are gayming.

I particularly don't use shutup10, I just set group policies to disable telemetry and automatic updates with iot enterprise ltsc builds
Been working great

>>106492035
I mean just do it the way that's most comfortable to you

>>106492027
>Isn't the final Enterprise version 21H2?
also wondering if I can get a proper 22H2 on enterprise. there are very specific vscode terminal issues I have because of the conpty version used in 21H2 for enterprise

>>106492027
IoT LTSC 2021 is frozen on 21H2. Normal 10 Enterprise is on 22H2, though you can also use the enablement pack in the OP to turn IoT LTSC 2021 into 22H2.

>>106492156
>For 21H2 (build 19044) to 22H2 (build 19045) there were almost no changes besides a numerical increment because it was simply time for a yearly release.
Just read that in the pastebin, so I'm fucked if I want to use a 7800/9800 X3D because only 24Hwhatever got the AMD performance update?

HDDs aren't affected at all? That's where most of the big installations are for me (mostly games). My SSD only has OS and software, but I haven't installed anything recently, only save temporary images/video or zip/7z files before I move them to the HDD. Would downloading stuff directly to the HDD be extra safe or it wouldn't matter? I pretty much only download Windows Updates on the SSD.

Is it possible to update ltsc versions? Eg from 2024 to 2027

>>106480180 (OP)
Anyone know of a good way to log hardware events?
Event Viewer isnt showing USB disconnects im testing for and i need to know what's tripping the disconnect sound that is annoying a client i got

Why windows 10 iot ltsc is the greatest os and I will use it till the end of times instead of Linux:
1. Fractional scaling works excellent. (In Linux only X 200 scaling worked fine).
2. All software runs natively without needing any tinkering. (Easy installation too).
3. I can run all the Linux console programs-scripts I used with WSL. (I use wget often to download websites).
4. Shamba shares work flawlessly. (Couldn't make it work on Linux at all).
5. No memmory leaks. (apps would leak memmory on linux and had to be restarted after some time).
6. Never breaks
>*nerd talking* "but... but... anon you know that after 2032 you won't have any security updates and you would have to install windows 11 or linux again"
You are so wrong you stupid low testostero fe-male. After 2032 starts the real fun when I would finaly withdraw completely from any online activity and I would be offline consoooooming all the videos, books, pdfs, music and movies I would have downloaded all these years in my perfectly working windows 10 iot ltsc machine.

>>106482068

>wich cancer is the best?

>>106492400
>Anyone know of a good way to log hardware events?
Hardware events are generally logged by Kernel-PnP and UserPnp logs/sources, so you might want to create a custom view. Not sure about USB-oriented logs/sources though, but with windows having gorillion event sources and logs of various types, feel free to take a gander at in spare time
Otherwise check the "Administrative Events" built-in custom view, plus the Summary section when you start Event Viewer
Additionally open up Device Manager, choose the "Devices by Connection" view and show hidden devices. Fully expand the USB nodes (controller/hub/device). If you're observant, you will notice that certain USB device constantly (dis)appearing

If I have to bet, it's probably some USB device's cable or transmitter malfunctioning, as it's constantly disconnecting rather than just showing "USB device connection failed". Hope the USB ports aren't faulty
>>106492291
It's an SSD-specific issue, so don't worry about the HDD. As long as your SSD doesn't have a cheap-ass Phison controller (or a rebrand thereof), especially DRAM-less, you should be fine

>>106493456
>As long as your SSD doesn't have a cheap-ass Phison controller (or a rebrand thereof), especially DRAM-less, you should be fine
What about dram-less western digital sdds? I have a wd blue

How do I mount a windows iso onto a usb stick from a mac?

sticking with windows 10 cause old games just work

So uhh... using Windows 11 LTSC IOT right now....why should I use be concerned and use Linux like all fags are telling me?

I even have my porn folders here

Best audio player and image viewer for ltsc?

>>106497706
Whatever you use to use before? LTSC isn't some completely different system it's just Enterprise.

>>106497753
I used to use groove music and photos app

>>106497792
You can just install winget via asheroto's winget-install script and re-install them from the MS Store repo.

>>106493456
>It's an SSD-specific issue, so don't worry about the HDD. As long as your SSD doesn't have a cheap-ass Phison controller (or a rebrand thereof), especially DRAM-less, you should be fine
That's a relief. I think all my drives should be safe then, including the SSDs.

Crushing on a guy I've never met

He's a hockey player. And this other user posted about him, ever since then he's been on my mind. When I think about him, I smile. I spend some of my nights fantasizing about him and its weird because he's like 3 years younger than me. I never thought I'd ever find someone younger than me as appealing. Its not his looks, but his character (that is of course displayed on camera cause I've never met him before) and the way it just lights up. He has such a big smile and a funny personality but also can be very serious.


I keep trying to find ways to meet him, but every time I do, I get discouraged. I don't know this person, and they don't know me. I have not a slightest of clue on why I'm doing this to myself.


I've even went as far as to create collages and banners of him. On all of my devices, his photos are stocked in folders/files.


Im crazy


I used to see his name in the most oddest places and it shocked me because his name is very unusual.


When I close my eyes I think about a future that is very stretched out. From the day we meet, from the time he asks me out, the time leading up to our date, from the time we make it official. Then we date, get married, travel together. Then our kids, from toddlers to adults.

You mean make a Windows boot USB manually on Mac? You gotta make the USB FAT32 formatted firstly then mount the ISO and move all the files besides the sources folder into the USB. Then make a sources folder and move everything in there besides the install.wim file. Then install Homebrew if you haven't to install wimlib to your system then use that to split the install.wim into two files so it'll fit properly on the FAT32 filesystem. Then you can just unmount the USB and have a boot USB that'll work properly made in a Mac.

Can any screenshot tools automaticaly crop an image by content? Not by window border.

>>106489986
I think they are still US-based, though it appears that the company owning it has focused on cloud mobile bullshit and rebranded themselves as their cloud service - now.gg
That and bundling in the emulator's installer
>a
>fucking
>gaming cryptowallet
and automatically installing it alongside regular bluestacks disqualfies these guys from now on
A shame, really. Their emulator was really good before the "BlueStacks X" bullshit happened (if you have to use it, you'll have to scout for the last version before the company rebranding and all these bloat being introduced)

At this point you might consider using an Android-x86-based distro and one of those ARM-to-x86 native bridges like libhoudini for non-x86 APKs

>>106491694
dism /capture-image and dism /apply-image is the "approved" way of doing it with inbox tools.
If you're smart enough to set up a VHD native boot, wbadmin start backup -include:C: -systemState will do it the job.
If you're not smart (or simply want a GUI), go third-party with Macrium Reflect.

>>106500663
I remember hearing of another emulator called Nox which is fairly easy to defang apparently. Turning on root mode and removing a bunch of things using .apk installed launchers and file explorers that aren't bloaty spyware, then putting a bunch of the telemetry addresses in hosts.txt to block them.

>>106493599
The Triton MP controllers that are used in WD and SanDisk SSDs are just licensed and slightly modified Phison controllers, and have the same flaws as the originals.
Indeed, the flaws in Phison controllers that 24H2 exposed were first detected on the WD Blue SN* series.

Microsoft Edge feels so much smoother to use and consumes less battery life than all other browsers on Windows. It's allegedly because of some low level optimizations that they're doing. Why are the other browsers not at least trying to implement similar things?

>>106501310
Because Edge literally runs at system level and is basically a part of Windows itself. Only it can get the kinds of optimizations it can get.

>>106500714
>Nox
It's one of those chinese android "emulators" that you want to stay away from, if you're privacy-conscious
There are debloat guides for it (also for MEmu and LDPlayer), but one thing is debloating the android environment it virtualizes, and the other is not having the application datamine you and phone home to chinese servers on the windows side of things

You may want to give WSA a try, although MSFT-provided support has been discontinued since March this year: https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds
Google also provides their own stuff with the Google Play Games beta release for PC - you'll be stuck with their games selection, however
>unless you use the developer builds, which should allow APK sideloading
Otherwise not that many choices left that you have: maybe try getting Waydroid to run under WSL2 for lulz?

>>106501495
That's why the guides say to replace its launcher with something like Lawnchair and use a root-accessible file manager like MaterialFiles to replace its own. Also needing to make the .exe read-only so it can't constantly disable the telemetry removal, so it's kind of a ballache to actually keep working correctly. But I hear it recommended because it's pretty performant for games and shit otherwise.

Can you still use Windows Media Creation Tool to make a Windows 10 ISO after October?

Or do you have to make the backup image right now before discontinue?

>>106503415
depends on Microsoft if they want to keep supporting it after EOL, chances are it will still work for the 3 years of ESUs

However, it's not like you can't just create one with an ISO at any moment

>>106503415
You should use rufus or ventoy and you can always download the iso files from masgrave or even archive.org.

anybody using the insider preview?

>>106501310
which is interesting because Edge is now one of the most bloated and telemetry intensive browsers, it's so much different than when it first released

>>106497926
Who posted my Steve Balmer fanfic?

its exactly the same. idk what i expected honestly.

>>106504675
why you wanted to try it? Preview Channel is basically just early access to already tested features, however, if there's nothing worth it announced then it's gonna look basically the same.

Dev and Canary are the ones that usually get big stuff months before but they're the most unstable

I'm curious about the windows version on this thing. Will it be just the usual win 11 + the xbox overlay gaming mode bullshit or will it have some optimizations and bloat removed out of the box and how it would perform when installed on a normal desktop

Why you aren't using IoT LTSC ?

>>106505174

>Windows 11 LTSC IOT
What does that even mean you fucking brainlet? What the fuck do you mean LTSC IOT? Why did you capitalize the o in IoT? Why did you put LTSC before IoT when the exact release of windows you are running is IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, there is no LTSC IOT version of windows, you are using a Enterprise build that is on the long term support channel instead of the general access channel, and it's the IoT or Internet of Things.

I try linux out once every quarter, and while a lot has improved, most of the distros are still pure dogshit. openSUSE Tumbleweed out of the box legit doesn't even have proper font support for asian languages, the Wikipedia page is just boxes. Ubuntu latest LTS release crashes during the installer if I have ethernet cable connected, or if I run it with GPU acceleration, so I have to run it in safe mode with no cable for it to even work. And once it's installed the software updater (which they have 3 different ones for some reason) tells me it's got issues and can't do a full upgrade. And these two and Fedora are pretty much the only ones that have a functioning basic security out of the box like SELinux/AppArmor, Secure Boot, and Full Disk Encryption. Fedora is by far the best one, but it's codec situation and documentation being so FUCKED it just makes me give up on doing anything beyond removing the LGBT flag wallpapers by dnf removing gnome-wallpapers and then simply installing everything in Flatpak. That's a pretty decent experience, until you realize Linux text rendering is dogshit and will never get better and every single site with small thin fonts will forever look blurry so you just give up on the deadshitos and move back to good ol windows. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 just werks, it should at least be fully supported until 2028 considering the ESU program and 2021/2022 builds of W10 practically being identical, and at least some browsers will 100% support it for a long ass time like Firefox ESR which is even supporting W7 still, and Edge that promises to support even ancient builds of W10 as long as LTSC is going on. I couldn't care less about steam working or not later on in 2028+ since I pirate all my vidya anywho.

>>106483896
Windows 11 can never be considered stable as long as the core system apps are completely broken. Weather widget doesn't update properly, the spotlight images often just stop working, the right click context menu on files which are recognized as defaults of Paint, Notepad, Copilot, Photos etc have a massive laggy delay loading in those plugins every time you click on the image. If you right click on a iso to rename it through the new context menu of file explorer it often times just launches it instead of renaming it, if you spam open the start menu it keeps increasing in CPU until 100%. Issa coal. Just let ts die and move from W10 -> W12 directly, not even IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 is safe as that shit's recieving feature updates that it shouldn't get lmao, even updating to a fucking 25H2 preview. Until MS is no longer ran by a jeet it's cooked, the only reason W10 is half acceptable is because most of it's code was from Balmer and previous eras like file explorer, task manager, context menu, paint, notepad, calculator, etc. Now issa coal. Ts pmo, crazy how linux fags can't make a single competitive distro with windows when windows has been getting worse actively for ages

Anon you do realise its just fixed to 24H2 right? For as long as they release quality updates for 24H2, LTSC will get them. This will at least be until 25H2 releases but even GAC editions get supported 24H2 for 3 years now.

Samba file sharing? Funny you should mention, I haven't been able to get it working. I tried for the heck of it, other computers can access my Ubuntu machine's shared folders but I could not access other computers' folders from Ubuntu. I had some fun messing with Samba file sharing, but it is ultimately too slow and inconvenient for me versus using one of my flash drives to move files around. Win7 Homegroup makes this business easier, though.

I did learn a bit about how to get Samba file sharing to work properly for Win10/11, and the full details of it are not on any one site, not even from Microshit themselves - except desuarchive now because I shared that here.

This is honestly tempting me to install regular Enterprise and join dev channel. But I also can't be bothered to basically just turn it back into LTSC..

>>106509312

Maybe interface-wise but code-wise it would be fairly benign

>>106509498
nah I paid the $10

Goddamn I just reinstalled W11 earlier today, and thought I'd try out that admin account + daily standard account use. I even set secpol.msc so I would have to type in the password with the highest level UAC a la linux style. It was horrible and a mess. I had to type and retype my password for every little thing. Can't open stuff like gpedit unless I actually go into the admin account. Can't even run vcredist-aio via scoop because I need admin access, which won't run the installer script even in an elevated terminal.
Everything went smooth once I changed my daily account to admin again. Though unlike my previous install of 5 years, I set the UAC to max now (it was at 0 before).

Every little deviation and change you make to your default Windows 11 Home/Pro installation is likely to completely break your system's reliability, security, and performance. I remember seeing those posts of people who uninstall gamebar losing like 20% performance or not having access to VRR in some games, or people who change to user account getting like a 50% performance cut in games until some bugfix was pushed that supposedly fixed it. It's so funny how spaghetti the ms code is, so many chuddies just break their expensive GPU's performance by tinkering geg

Microsoft assumes that since you're using a microsoft product, you obviously trust them to follow the laws and regulations and uphold their reputation and not infringe on your rights as a human or a user, and think the average normalfag feels happy knowing that Microsoft, the biggest company in the world, is looking out for their system and keeping it safe from evil russian hackers. Tinfoil hat niggas are so retarded, same with that "My Computer" to "This PC" change with tards not realising PC is literally Personal (My, personal) Computer, and schizoposting about it. Also if MS were really spying on people, you'd hear about cases of people getting arrested for crimes using windows and being exposed through microsoft's spyware, in reality that has never happened and that's why EU and UK are massively trying to add credit card and selfies to social media because realistically the only spyware is just that, you yourself assigning your personal identification to your posts and searches online. Windows is as private as mainstream Linux, there's objectively no way of disproving this, especially since Linux kernel itself has proprietary blobs and most people are running non-fsf approved distros and proprietary BIOS

LTSC builds remove all codecs and UWP apps, it's practically unusable considering how much shit relies on WebView, UWP apps, and proprietary codecs nowadays to have proper experience. And if you reinstall all that shit then you are back at step 0 and could just use base W11. LTSC also isn't a popular channel, it's used by like 0.1% of windows users, so practically no app developer care to accomodate LTSC users except for business specific apps that you don't need at home. I just looked up a random modding guide for FNV and they explicitly say they don't support anything deviating from GAC windows like meme LTSC builds because it often causes issues with outdated libraries, it's like using Debian LTS for gaming, there's a reason why valve moved to Arch

I'm doing a bunch of maintenance, installing, and re-installing etc. of several Win10 machines. I need a free & reliable utility to clone drives. Used to use Partition Wizard 9.something back in the WinXP & Win7 days, but it's not reliable to create bootable Win10 images anymore. Was great to automatically & custom resize partitions so I could use a 128 GB SSD as the source drive and clone it to a 64 GB drive, so long as the total data footprint would fit. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't now, probably due to GPT ... dunno.

Anyway. What suggestions to look into, please? Would Partition Wizard still be fairly solid, or is there better?

I don't really want to use an imaging software since I don't want to be dependent on a specific software being installed on a system that can only unpack and write a proprietary image format. Want to be able to connect any two drives to a system and clone directly.

Bonus features:
* be able to clone over a USB port, not be constrained to only using a SATA connector

* clone an SSD or HDD to a USB stick or SD card; not to boot & run, but to clone it back to SSD, HDD, NVME and have the image work (I have a shit ton of SD cards that would be great to keep several back up images on)

* would be fantastic to run such a utility from a bootable USB drive

* bonus bonus, defragmenting software similar to the old JKDefrag where you had numerous useful options for sorting & moving data; it worked spectacularly on Win7 but breaks Win8 & Win10

>>106511166
you can delete them in 5 seconds, you can never get apps that require a specific 23H2 or 24H2 build on windows that's stuck on 21H2 or will be stuck on 24H2 when rest of people are on 25H2, 26H2 and 27H2. Your entire system stack will be permanently stuck on a build that will every 3 years be 3 years out of date and incompatible with anything inovative and new that released in that period. You can't even use Directx 12 Ultimate or Auto HDR on Windows 10 21H2 now, and it has no CPU optimizations for any new 13+ gen hardware that's years old at this point. You also miss out on security features, your defender gets security heuristic updates but the actual capabilities of it never evolve. There's literally no use case for LTSC, a GAC build with all bloatware removed in 5 seconds right clicking in the start menu or using winget is infinitely more useful, secure, optimized, and compatible with windows apps

>>106511203
>permanently stuck on a build that will every 3 years be 3 years out of date and incompatible with anything inovative and new that released in that period

Yeah, in october of 2027. If there's some hardware or software that doesn't work on 24H2 build and needs 25H2 or 26H2 or 27H2 you'll just need to wait three short years

>>106511203
>Your entire system stack will be permanently stuck on a build that will every 3 years be 3 years out of date and incompatible with anything inovative and new that released in that period.
Not an LTSCfag but Enterprise gets 3y of support on any given feature release which gives you more guarantee of support. This is also a big reason to just use a GAC edition but the whole appeal of LTSC IMO isn't the lifecycle but the OOTB minimal configuration that you know future updates will respect.

It's best to ignore schizos and shills.

I believe Education, Enterprise and LTSC allow you to fully disable data collection while Home only allows "limited data collection" not sure if ShutUp10++ can remedy this or not.

Is there a way to actually view all the differences between standard editions? It seems like the weakest and most limited to various degree are
>Home (N, China, Single Language)
then you have slightly better versions with access to group policy but still no way of fully blocking telemetry, based on Pro
>Pro (N, Education, Education N, for Workstations, for Workstations N)
and then you have the most powerful editions which allow fully disabling telemetry in group policy editor based on Enterprise
>Enterprise (N, Enterprise LTSC, Enterprise LTSC N, IoT Enterprise, IoT Enterprise N, IoT Enterprise LTSC, IoT Enterprise LTSC N, Education, Education N)
Where exactly do the meme editions fit like the S, S N, SE, SE N, and Team? Are they all some extra scuffed cloud variations of Home core? I feel like I'd probably be best served using Education or Enterprise on my new tower, Education in particular seems good because it's even available on the standard windows media creation tool, so obviously they expect the average normie to use it like students or professors. I know that Education has spotlight disabled permanently, and it has no ms store recommendations. But beyond that I wonder if it's gimped in any real problematic way compared to the vanilla Enterprise which I assume is the cleanest most powerful edition that's kind of the ultimate base

man, i was really hoping that delay in explorer was from some fuckery with the pirate version but no its just as bad when legit. do winfags really, REALLY, live like this?

>>106513396
>Education in particular seems good because it's even available on the standard windows media creation tool
You can get Enterprise using the Media Creation tool you just have to use a command to get it to create an Enterprise ISO. Execute .\MediaCreationTool.exe /Eula Accept /Retail /MediaArch x64 /MediaLangCode en-US /MediaEdition Enterprise in the directory with MediaCreationTool if it asks you for a key just use the generic one.

>N
Sub-edition without Windows Media components - doesn't extend to just Windows Media Player but the whole technologies including Media Foundation (along with the transform codecs)
The Media Feature Pack to re-add the media components may not be enough to restore media capabilities, so if all you don't want is WMP - use the non-N edition, uninstall the UWP app plus disable the classic one from OptionalFeatures.exe

So is this legit? One of the OP guides mentioned genp and monkrus and genp seems to be the better route. Just want to make sure this isn't something shady since it's a lot of reading.

AI was a mistake.

go to Settings and disable it
lel, that thing isn't even enabled in a fresh new install

>>106514772
Yep, it seems at least from the dozen things I've tried that the built-in version of WSL in LTSC can't be updated. Neither the kernel nor WSL itself. And since the version of WSL is ancient (<1.2.5 while we're now at 2.5.10) docker desktop, podman etc don't work.

Last attempt I guess, has anyone dealt with this? It seems like my only option is to reinstall windows to a non LTSC version.

Get the installer

>>106517441
Tried that, the installer just crashes. I give up I can't deal with this anymore. I'm going to reinstall regular windows 10

>>106517456
Try the installer on a clean LTSC using a virtual machine.

>>106517506
Appreciate the effort to help but I'm not doing that I don't give a fuck how shit the regular version is I'm not spending another minute debugging this.

Photoshop's system requirements says:
>Windows 10 v21H2 LTSC, Win 10 (V22H2); Win 11 (V21H2, V22H2, V23H2, V24H2)
Can I really install Photoshop on W10 IoT LTSC 21H2?

KMS38's been replaced by KMS4k via TSforge these days

>>106516895
GenP and monkrus are the two paths of Adobe piracy, yes.

>>106517338
This is a fresh new install, though (iot ltsc). I can only disable pic related, but it still pops up.

>>106517521
you answered your own question

>>106517683
Have you tried the chkdsk/dism/sfc trio to ensure your install isn't corrupted?
What keeps trying to call up the gamebar?

>>106517773
My controller; anytime it connects, the gamebar pops up. That said, I haven't done a restart or anything like that after disabling the settings (I would assume you needn't so).

>>106517755
I'm asking now because I was pretty sure Photoshop wouldn't install on LTSC

>>106514476
Hilarious to see the poors STILL trying to meme this into existence.
It's just endless FUD with these "people".

you can stop samefagging and peddling the debunked fake news, retard

Why do you get a kick out of pointlessly trying to troll the world around you as it passes you by and leaves you behind?

>>106516729
reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0
reg add HKCU\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0
There's no Game Bar in LTSC because it's an UWP application, and apart from the system-critical ones from Windows\SystemApps, the standard-issue apps from Program Files\WindowsApps are all gone
Apply these registry tweaks in cmd (might have to do it elevated if it won't apply the first time) to disable GameBar functionability, and you shouldn't have the prompt showing up anymore

>>106518201
I have done that as well, and it doesn't work. I also disabled the game recording policy in the windows gaming template of group policy as well. I'm at my wit's end, nothing I find online works.

>>106517802
I have an Xbox One Series controller (actual Microsoft controller) I use for gaming and not even that calls up the gamebar. What are you using?

>>106518323
Bought it 5 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BC2K7VW

>>106518299
i gave up on ltsc because of this specifically.

>>106518201
You also need to run
>Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage
in an admin powershell alongside
>reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR /f /t REG_DWORD /v "AppCaptureEnabled" /d 0
>reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore /f /t REG_DWORD /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /d 0
to completely remove all traces of that UWP dialog that pops up.

All that work just because some controller stubbornly calls up the gamebar? No way for the controller to not be configured to not call up the gamebar? That's doable with Microsoft controllers.

>No way for the controller to not be configured to not call up the gamebar?
dammit
*No way for the controller to be configured to not call up the gamebar?

>All that work
It's literally copy pasting three commands into a terminal.

>>106518503
Yeah it still doesn't work for me. I tried all 3 commands, and before that went into the registry to do it manually.

>>106518540
No idea what's wrong then because it's always worked for me.

>>106518550
Fuck, thanks for your help nonetheless /fwt/bwo

Just popping in to say I'm really loving Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It's like a true successor to Windows 7.

>>106518550
Oh I got this working, based on a script on github (I didn't want to run the script so I did it manually with chatgpt).
Or, well, I hope it works. I just tested it by connecting my controller via bluetooth and nothing popped up. I'll probably hop into a game later and see how it goes.

I'm surprised that edge still haven't moved to v3 manifest (I can still use ublock origin).

>>106519005
Uni!

>>106519008
It's better for them to play good guys to gain market share from Chrome, however Edge is also getting more evil in other ways like telemetry and MS' good ol anti competitive tactics

I know it's fake news - can't you read or something?
