My OS might be corrupted because of incompatible RAM. Should I just wipe my drive and reinstall windows from scratch?

>>106937167
Fix your ram first.

>>106937245
I found the pastebin with shutup10, privay.sey, chris titus. Which one would you recommend?

>>106937269
NTA but I use ShutUp10 because it's the safest when it comes to disabling shit but also not breaking any Windows components.

>>106937318
Looks like it just disables stuff, it doesn't delete anything. I'm looking to gut it as much as possible, functionality be damned.

>>106937381
It doesn't delete anything, just tweaks the registry and/or disables services.

>>106937136 (OP)
Just switched from W10 Home to Iot LTSC and ran all the updates but it's still at 21H2.
Do I have manually update the version?

>>106937443
If you want IoT LTSC 2021 changed to 2022 you need to run the enablement package from the OP.

do i still need to enable ESU on LTSC, or should i leave it as it is?

>>106937518
You don't need ESU on LTSC because it already has the extended life by default.

So, is there any solution to this >>106929796 or not?

guys I think my windows 10 iot ltsc broke it can't install the latest update anymore

>>106938137
Follow the MAS guide. You need to delete the DWORD DisableOneSettingsDownloads (which ShutUp10 adds as a recommended toggle) and make sure you have the DWORD EnableActiveProbing set to 1. The guide says where they are in the registry.

>>106938159
I looked at the registry and those were already deleted and set to 1... should I try an in-place repair upgrade?

>>106938159
Forgot to add that I get 0x80071a2d as the error code

>>106937381
Considering you're asking, you probably don't know exactly what you're doing and you'll break shit
Even the OP says:
>If you need to ask, then no.

There's no magical thing that makes W11 take XP-tier resources with no real downsides

>>106938222
I'd try a dism/sfc run first and restarting. If that doesn't do anything then maybe try stopping and restarting the Windows Update services (wuauserv, cryptSvc, bits, msiserver) and restart again. If that doesn't work, maybe try repair upgrading.

>>106937780
Thanks man! o7

>>106938280
none of these worked either i'm switching to linux and reinstalling windows a few weeks later after i notice some of my programs aren't working

Finally made the jump to W11 on my own PC last night/this morning. Turns out it fixed that thing I had where there was a minute or so of black screen between the Windows logo and seeing the login screen.

The funny thing is that I once upgraded a client's PC that also had that thing (and didn't fit the system requirements) and IIRC it did NOT fix it there

Now if only I could do something about the long "spinny circle" phase. Though I guess that's from when I turned off hibernation or something and don't remember why. Though turning it back on would fill up 30-something gigs of drive space (because this PC has 32 GB RAM

TIL that despite MSDN claiming that you don't need to HideCaret and ShowCaret when responding to a WM_PAINT message, you do. At least with Direct2D, perhaps GDI does handle it for you automatically.

So little RAM won't happen with 10 or 11.
Heck, could Winhoes 8 be brought down to use so little RAM like Winhoes 7?
But if you still want to be insistent, I strongly recommend switching over to Ubuntu instead of trying to mutilate modern Winhoes to see if it won hardly any RAM like 7 and XP.

>>106939191
Why didn't you just ask Copilot?

>>106939198
>to see if it won hardly any RAM like 7 and XP

*to see if it will run on hardly any RAM like 7 and XP.

>>106939214
i can't believe it actually answered my question.

>>106939239
Like Google with Gemini, MS is putting a lot of fucking money into Copilot to make it feel worth using (and in Google's case it seems to be working because Gemini Pro is always topping leaderboards.)

Ever since I did the Win10 Pro -> Massgrave IoT 10 LTSC, things have been working great as usual, although I occasionally (like once a day?) hear the notification sounds but nothing showed up in the bottom right here.

My (10 home) pc came with candy crush, etc., but just reset it (pro) and that was no longer installed; guess MS ditched it in newer builds, when they ditched all those people from cc div.
Just get Winaero Tweaker (or wait for incoming next ver, since it's been a while since it was updated) to disable reinstalls and a bunch of other crap.

where can I find SSD drivers for a late 2017 MacBook Pro so I can install Windows 10?

Where does windows keep the wallpaper image files from the ms store collections, on recent builds? From what I've read, it keeps changing its location, but couldn't find them anywhere.

>>106941491
so apparently you cannot install Windows on a Mac without Bootcamp as it provides the drivers.
Are there really no drivers for the macbook available that I can manually load during install? I only need the SSD driver
It appears that the mac uses some proprietary SSD and I am not finding any info on what drivers may work.

Any solutions?

>inb4 install MacOS.
see pic related, ive been dicking around with this laptop going between Ventura, Sequioa, Tahoe, Mint and Ubuntu and now it wont reinstall Ventura without connecting online.
I have no idea why it all of the sudden wants to connect online after I ran Mint on it. No, I am not connecting it online. I do not trust Apple.

I'm not about to get legally buttfucked by Microsoft just by listening to a rando on 4chin

Just updated to Win11 Home and Microsoft didn't ask for a Microjeet account. What went wrong (or right)?

>>106944771
When you change to 11 from 10 it's not a full re-install. Everything that was on the 11 install is from your 10 install, and if you were already using a local account you'd still be on said account.

what should I do

How the hell do I install drivers for a silicom x540-t4 on windows 11? Intel driver pack installer doesn't see it, and only installs drivers for my i211. On windows 10, the same driver pack (30.4.2), correctly identifies my chinese knockoff x540-t2 and installs fine.

>>106939273
No kidding, they even ordered a nuclear power plant for their own uses. They are all in on this crap hard. Next gen data centers are speculated to require as much power as a large metropolis to run.

>>106944415
As long as you are not a business, they won't care if you use Enterprise LTSC, most of us here are using it, that's what the massgrave stuff in the OP is about.

But hey, if you insist, you can get a legit non-business license for dirt cheap these days on Groupon. I doubt support for 11 home and Pro will last much longer as Windows 12 is supposed to be right around the corner, and Microsoft wants to be releasing "new" versions on a regular basis due to the bad politics of the market and and the corpos these days. I'll be laughing at you if you run into problem with Winhoes 12 while I coast comfortably on 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

If someone could give me some advice or input on these two questions, I'd appreciate that.

1.)
>IoT LTSC only comes in English, if you want IoT LTSC in a different language

Surely this doesn't mean it doesn't support other language packs right?

Does IoT support IME input? I need English, German and Japanese (via IME.)
I see some saying you can manually add language packs to the ISO is it bullshit or not?

2.)
I'm planning on, at least, dual booting two Windows installs, and a documents partition between them. However, I might also install a Linux distro.
I know the Windows boot loader can be a pain in the ass. Which one is gonna give me less grief?:

a.) all 3 oses on the same drive, with a shared /EFI, and their own partitions.
b.) 2 windows on one drive, and linux distro on it's own drive.

I'm assuming b, but I don't like to assume.

>>106944886
I'm talking about business use. I already do use enterprise on my personal system. I'm not sure how you're reading this all wrong, bwo...

>>106944913

Just go through the WU GPO options, it's all in there but Pro is still a bit limited.
Enterprise gets 3y of security updates on any feature release but IIRC Pro only gets 1y

>>106942222
I've done it before on an early 2013 macbook pro with Win10 but it had an Amazon NVMe adapter for a storage upgrade which probably made it easier.
I do remember running into trouble for audio drivers because nothing Bootcamp loads is available anywhere else but apart from that it all worked OOTB.

>>106944891
>Surely this doesn't mean it doesn't support other language packs right?
No
>Does IoT support IME input? I need English, German and Japanese (via IME.)
Yes
>I see some saying you can manually add language packs to the ISO is it bullshit or not?
No but its all about the base language of the install, not its capabilities.
>Which one is gonna give me less grief?:
Either IIRC you can use OS Prober from Linux to detect and automatically add the two Windows installs to GRUB (assuming you want to use GRUB), even with a unified \EFI but you might want to check that. Otherwise, just two Windows installs should be able to automatically set themselves up on the same drive without any manual configuration. Though you may need to do some setup with bcdboot if you want to change the boot order.

>>106945312
>0.5 GB of the available 1.2 GB of RAM is being used.
Cool. Now, allocate 8 GB of RAM to your VM, disable the page file, and share another screenshot of your system's RAM usage.

>>106947553
>is mpv an actual video player?
>will i miss any features?
Yes

>>106947553
What "features" are you talking about? mpv's whole deal is being performative while basically being compatible with any format while being very simple, with a majority of things done through hotkeys. If you want mpv but with a simple GUI you can use something like mpv-net

>>106947769
yes
you may miss features but it seeks a lot faster than other players and can do frame by frame (and in reverse) without shitting itself like vlc (does if you care about that)

Legally, can I use IoT LTSC on Virtual Machine?

>>106948303
I mean, you can only use IoT LTSC "legally" via buying a bulk pack of licenses for your business.
Just activate it in an offline way like with KMS_VL_ALL or use TSforge's KMS4k module.

>>106948303
>Legally
lmao
Legally you can't even activate LTSC as a consumer

>>106948545
>>106948553
It's for company use, so things should be legal.
You say I need to buy in bulk, but aren't resellers capable of selling individual keys? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/windows-iot-distributors

>>106948556
Reseller keys are against MS's ToS if you want to be legal.

>>106948568
Please explain. They are official distributors.

>>106948303
>Legally, can I use IoT LTSC on Virtual Machine?
I think you can legally use the Evaluation version for 30 days.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-11-iot-enterprise-ltsc-eval

However, just ask yourself this question. Is the massive data collection by Microsoft legal? Just pirate Winblows. As long as you are not a big corporation, nobody cares whether your copy of Windows is legal or not. Not even Microsoft cares about pirating Winblows anymore.

>>106948586
clueless
do not pirate windows in a business setting if you live in a place with drinkable tap water

>>106948586
We're already using the evaluation ISO. It lasts 90 days.
Unbelievable how much faster and snappier it is compared to Pro.

I activated W10 ESU with TSforge but W10 updater still tells me this even after restart. Did it work? It said it did

>>106948669
It's a visual bug, your ESU is still activated and working:
https://massgrave.dev/tsforge#windows-esu

>>106948669
The massgrave FAQ says that if you check your licensing with slmgr /dli or /xpr it'll show that you indeed have the Year 1/2/3/6 ESU licenses activated and licensed. It also says that if you have the DWORD DisableOneSettingsDownloads in the registry enabled that you should delete it.

>>106948684
>>106948694
I see. Thanks

Could anyone help me with disabling security updates for W10 Enterprise LTSC 21H2? I've been having a hard time with the ESU/AI slop flooding every search and from a few posts ive seen Windows still updates even after disabling them in services.msc.
I don't trust KB5066791 but nor am I seeking a forever-disable, simply looking for a way to disable them with the ability to enable back by my choice if I'm absolutely forced to at some point in the future, any help would be immensely great.

Cannot decide whether to get W10 LTSC or W11 LTSC...

>>106949024
You seriously saving a few pennies with a 650 instead of going 850?

>>106949024
Win11 will probably give you ~3% or so better CPU performance but it really doesn't matter. Its not some huge life changing decision either way, despite what /fwt/ and /g/ will make you believe

>>106949093
I got that microATX board 2 months ago on sale, still expensive. It features good Audio Codec and includes WLAN/BT.

The price difference to a B850 boards in mATX with similar setup costs more than a few pennies, actually 30 bucks and more.
And Wifi 7 is not supported on W10, so I wanted one with Wifi6.

>>106949431

No difference with GPU and its support? Any new shenanigans with software features that only are supported with W11?
I only know that e.g. W10 LTSC 2019 version does not have DLSS4.

I'm on a 1Gb connection and the first setup for 11 IoT LTSC took me like 40-45 minutes. It's ridiculously long for no apparent reason. This never happened to me on regular Windows Pro.

>>106951127
This is what happens when you don't use a local account.

Do I update to the last free update on W10 or has the microjeets snuck in a kill switch in it that they'll active 3 years from now to force all LTSC autists to switch?
Wouldn't put it past them.

>>106951127
Are you using the right keyboard layout?

>>106951127
>Windows not accepting my login password

Use the utilman.exe trick, backup your User folder, create a new local account, and then delete your old account.

>>106951126
Apparently I can adjust screen brightness and sound, but that's about it.

>>106951390
Backing up my User folder will allow me to transfer all my old stuff to a new account or nah? I do need to get my hotmail back as well which is why I'm worried I got hacked or something. But yeah I should switch to a local account I didn't even realise I wasn't lmao.

>>106951452
>Backing up my User folder will allow me to transfer all my old stuff to a new account or nah?
Yes. Just copy the contents of your C:\Users folder to another drive. After you created a new account, you can transfer the contents of the old Users folder to the new one.
>I do need to get my hotmail
That's a separate issue. I have never had a hotmail account. So, I don't know how you can recover a hotmail account.

Trying to set up Windows to work with a NAS Samba share for the first time but I'm not some /hsg/ network fetishist, is it even possible in W11 to toggle network discovery only for a specific device and not have my desktop go spreading its asscheeks and popping up on roommates ~network neighborhood~ or whatever the shit? Even if they don't have local accounts to log in with, I don't trust like that.

All I wanted is this one SMB share from the NAS and ONLY the share to be visible on my own W11 devices that have reserved IPs in the router, but the default Network Discovery options in Settings look like they're all-or-nothing and I'm not ITpilled enough to know which shit to manually block with Simplewall

Check your font embedding settings.

You can achieve something similar with Pro if you use ntlite to remove all the store apps, disable store (gpedit) and disable consumer experience (gpedit) all in the ISO. That'll give you a clean Pro image to work with for your business

I'm facing PC crashes when gaming on Windows, it seems to be related to certain games like GTAV or something similar in size or intensity. Error shows WHEA cache hierarchy error. I've pretty much ran stresstests on every part of my computer. Prime95 passed, occt passed GPU/CPU/RAM, and memtest86+ passed RAM. PSU has been replaced. I'm at a loss

>>106954891

>>106956026
do you have rebar enabled on your setup? try disabling it. if your gpus vram is dying or unstable it can manifest as whea cache errors because the cpu can pickup bus errors over rebar.

>>106954891
Try y-cruncher, I had some ram problems that only happened there and in games.
Also try reseating all ram and using only one stick at a time.

>>106956079
iirc RDNA has error correction that results in stutter but almost never crashes just because of dying vram.
or maybe that's only on RDNA2.

>>106956026
Maybe the memory controller is busted. what version of windows?

>>106956101
only RDNA4 will actually slow down if it has memory errors.
Rest will just artifact, crash, or whea error.

>>106956107
I'll look again but I'm pretty sure it's 22h2

>>106956138
microsoft made several wddm changes since then. if you'e running latest amd drivers for example then you need latest windows or you get bugs from wddm mismatch.

>>106956108
it was a big deal back during the flood of refurbished mining gpus, supposedly nvidia crashed but amd was harder to test because it did not crash, just ran slower, if the memory was busted.

>>106956079
I disabled rebar, still crashes. Still give WHEA error, so does this mean that the CPU is on the fritz despite passing the stresstests?

>>106956146
AMD can clock stretch when it thinks its unstable but thats just pulling back core/memory/fclk mhz. Real error correction wasn't added until super late gddr6 modules, the ones used in 9000 series. 7000,6000,5000 use older samsung/hynix chips.

>>106956187
Update your Windows to 25h2. your drivers are wddm mismatching. also update your BIOS to latest.

I'm trying to install VP9 Video Extensions for W10 but I have the MS store disabled and shit like winget and Add-AppxPackage doesn't work because I have the defender firewall turned off for privacy. Wat do?

>>106957300
I always use winget-install to get access to the MS Store repos without needing the store itself. I installed shit through it like said VP9 extensions and Terminal for funsies and they installed/work fine on my end.

>>106957334
I installed winget with winget-install but it refuses to run even though it's in my PATH. Maybe I'm retarded

>>106957161
You don't need to improve RAM usage, it will eat proportional to your max RAM anyway on idle and when you need it it will free it.

>>106957379
Strange, it shouldn't do that. Maybe read asheroto's readme on their git for troubleshooting.

>>106957379
Did you close and reopen terminal again?

>>106956434
I think it's fine but people rush to it too soon without actually understanding what they're gettting into, not to mention a lot of people believe it's a "faster" or more private Windows

>At least Windows 11 IoT LTSC is AI free/
I used Win 11 IoT LTSC 2024 for a while. Microsoft released an update and shoved their AI cancer into all SKUs of Win 11. Even Windows Server 2025.
https://windowsreport.com/windows-recall-spotted-ltsc-server-editions/

What's the issue with win11 AI? Can't you just disable it with DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"Recall"?

>>106958869
Yes that's how you disable Recall.

>>106958611
That's the neat part, you don't. As long as nothing's broken, I don't bother updating. And when there is any major issue, I just need to overwrite any scripts that's problematic.

>>106958869
>Can't you just disable it
After running that DISM command, Windows will report that Recall is disabled. However, some files will remain on your system because Windows 11's File Explorer depends on Recall. Also, Recall is not the only AI bloat Microsoft added to IoT LTSC 2024. The latest updates installed several unwanted packages called Resume, Actions, and Click-to-Do. As far as I know, these new components can't be removed. The Resume feature is a memory hog and was one of the main reasons I switched from Windows 11 IoT LTSC to Windows 10 IoT LTSC.

>>106958881
what scripts do you recommend?
one i would definitely need is thumbfast

WINE stands for...

But what does the WINE in WINE Is Not an Emulator stand for? And if it's the same thing, then what does that WINE's WINE stand for? How deep does this go, for eternity? If so, that's a lot of WINE!

The only truly forced update you get is the monthly one on Patch Tuesday (second Tuesday of every month) but you can just use group policy to delay the updates longer if you want. ShutUp10 is the easiest way to set registry keys to do with privacy and such, while also disabling services associated. WinUtil is more about setting other kinds of Windows features, and includes an option to download ShutUp10 as well.

So, does upgrading to Windows 11 through a Rufus-made USB make future feature updates not show up on Windows Update? Even if you don't have the hardware requirements bypass? Because that's what I'm dealing with right now. Plus I think I heard somewhere that this happens if you do work around system requirements.

>>106963693
it's been a while since it was updated but I assume it's still good to use, you could use WinUtil instead as well.

>>106963520
Rufus shouldn't mess with Windows update, and installing on an unsupported system will still give you feature updates, although keep in mind they get delivered in gradual rollout for everyone

However, annual updates are usually not delivered to unsupported PCs, like getting the 25H2 update, you have to download enablement packages or use an ISO instead

>>106964385
Oh, annual updates, that's what they were called
Anyway, this is on a PC that SHOULD meet the requirements. I saw the option to upgrade to Windows 11 through Windows Update, but opted to use a USB I already had because I thought it would be faster. Turns out the US. had 24H2 on it. 8th gen Intel CPU, plenty of RAM, UEFI boot.

Is there a way to stop paint3d from updating?
I use paint3d every few days to do simple editing of images. My preferred method is to right click the image and open with paint3d. But p3d keeps updating to the newest version that no longer works and tells me I need to go to the MS store to find a program. I reinstall an older version, it works for a day, it updates, I install old version it works for a day, it updates.....You get the idea.
How the fuck do I stop it from updating. And why the fuck do they call it an upgrade if it stops functioning? how is that an upgrade?

Good tip. I found a guide on this. There is an option to disable automatic updates in the store. When applied it shows up in the store settings as updates disabled even though MS disallowed toggling this option.

I meant block paint3d from accessing the internet so it won't update, not the store, since your only concern is paint3d updating and not the store.

>>106969257
Are the drivers for it only for 11? Then you'll probably have a harder time.
Maybe try running Snappy Driver Installer Origin on it and see what it can pick up.

>>106969292
It's not super easy to continue using 7 in the modern day. You'll need to use a special browser like Supermium/Thorium or the last 7-supported Firefox ESR to access the internet in a normal way. The best way to use 7 though is to install it through something like the Updated v5 ISO which includes every update it ever got plus drivers for USB3 and NVMes
