How is the new update for W11 LTSC bros?
>>101352271shamiko on the internets!
Is there a way to install stuff with winget but only install certain components? Specifically I want to install open shell but not the classic explorer.Or if I just install it manually at first and use winget for updates will I be fine?
>>101352430What new update? Still waiting until the official 24H2 release to try W11.
>>101352430Good. Ever since they dropped that recall garbage the updates have just been fixes and stability improvements. No complaints.
what's some software you install as soon as you get a new windows installation going?
>>101352430W11 LTSC has been shockingly good and stable. It's a shame that this isn't the default version of W11.
Will there be a windows 12?
>>101352271Nice try officer, is this the version with the 0day installed? Name and badge number please.

will i be fine staying on on w10 iot ltsc until eol? all i do is shitpost and play games, sometimes i make music in fl studio as a hobby
>>101353233you'll be fine, maybe not if you play certain (shit) games where you may need a certain windows version with secure bootI mainly use windows for autocad and I'll probably be fineI think the only people that will have to upgrade early are the ones with certain adobe software and shitty competitive games

Because you're smooth brain

>>101352430excellent, no reason to use anything other than W11 LTSC anymore

>>101352430slightly less shitty than consoomer editions of W11, but that's not saying muchW10 ltsc is still superior in every waybest part of ltsc is you can skip shit editions and be supported so you can wait for W12 ltsc or W13 ltsc
>>101352430just came from linux and i like it, good enough for me to stay. i quite like it

Ok what Windows 10 build is RS3? I'm using W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021. Trying to download drivers but I have no clue what they're talking about here.
Does anyone know if pic related has the boot loader unlocked? I want to replace my old surface but I don't want the stock Windows experience so I would like to install IoT LTSC 2024 ARM64 on it.
>>101358751ARMshit will never be a suitable replacementjust look at the joke that is crapple silicon macsit's been 4 years and those jeets still have zero usable programs besides adobe and everything else has to be emulated at 10% speed and 400% heatjust get the latest intel edition
>>101358816I don't game on my surface anon...Mostly office and reading.
>>What version should I install?>W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021How the hell do you purchase a legit key for this?
>>101353220>>101355780Funny how "Italian Satania" is more /g/ than OG Satania.
>>101358849you dont need to, just generate a legit key with MAS
Is it worth to install the MS Store? i'm losing my shit trying to install some apps with Powershell
>>101358887If you need apps then yeah. LTSC doesn't come with the app installer by default and even if you try to install it without the MS store then it will spit errors out at you most of the time.
>>101358849In a business environment the guy in charge of it spends thousands of company money on at least a pack of six IoT LTSC licenses as MS only ships them in packs officially. But because MAS exists, it doesn't really matter.
>>101358887It's easier to just use the winget-install script from PSGallery and install MS Store UWPs through that instead as it installs it with all the dependencies and shit that they and it need.
W10 IoT sounds too good to be trueWhat finna gonna be the catch...?
>>101359981The only catch is that a very small amount of modern programs won't run because it's frozen on 21H2 and those programs want at least 22H2 for no real reason. Mostly modern Adobe garbage.But then there's W11 IoT LTSC 2024 for that.
>>101358849Nice try officer Lopez.

>>101360061Apparently the monkrus installers work even on LTSC 2021 but I haven't tried them myself
>>101359981>>101360061How long do you anons think shit like web browsers will be supported on LTSC after the "regular" 10s go end-of-life next year?
>>101360639With 10 having extended updates most likely as long as 7 did.
>>101360639ltsc is for corporate customerscorporate customers will throw a shit fit and shit all over google if they dare stop supporting an OS that has a documented support date that hasn't EoL'd yet
>>101360732Probably the reason why 7 and 8.1 had continued support for the longest time too via POSReady7 and Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise.

Been trying out dynamic lock at work and homeIt's rather inconsistent but I guess that's the nature of wireless signal strength tracking
>>101361091I mean it is a Bluetooth signal it's looking for when you move away. That shit's mega inconsistent.IMO I'd just manually lock my computer before getting up.
>>101361109I do, it's instinct at this point but this is a fun failsafe (including the 5 minute lock at work and 30 at home). It never not worked at least, it will always lock by the time I exit my office/room but sometimes it will lock when I'm sitting at my desk idling lol. The distance is pretty variable
>>101361138Does the phone also act as a key to unlock the session when you come back to your desk after it notices it?
>>101361150No but I think third party stuff can do that
Whatever happened to using KMS_VL_ALL for activation?
>>101361510MAS's HWID module is just quicker/easier to use. Though obviously you can still use KMS_VL_ALL to activate a Windows system if you want.
>>101361510Newer technology exists. Rather, Microsoft intentionally makes cracking their software easy, because they would have you run a pirated version of their own software than you using somebody else's.HWID activation works on all SKUs of Windows at this stage, including /g/'s favorite LTSC.
>>101358407That’s why you don’t upgrade to the next windows until after a couple years at least. You think windows 10 wasn’t shit until 2018?
>>101352430Had some weird graphical glitches and UI stopping working problems so I moved back to 10 for the time being. Now the start menu is invisible half the time. My computer seems to be cursed.
>>101353474You spelled mpc-hc wrong
>>101362179mpv is better overall IMO but if you need a GUI for your video player then MPC-HC is a fine choice.
>>101362189I like how convenient it is to map audio channels, normalize audio, embed/save subtitles and a few other things.
>>101361743W11 has been out for 3 years already, if anything it's gotten worse.
>>101362232mpv does all that too but just does it through hotkeys and plugins
>>101362333Well at least the original version of Recall was shitcanned because businesses got mad
I have a problem on my PC, I switched from W10 to 11 hoping it would solve the issue but it didn't work.Basically, video starts lagging compared to the audio, I thought that maybe it was some driver issue, but I still get the same problem on W11 with the most up to date drivers. My GC is a RX 6800XT, is it just AMD drivers that reeks shit or the graphic card itself that has a hardware issue? Would switching to Linux solves the problem? I could you a liveCD of any distro to test, but the issue isn't systematic, although on youtube it's always each time.
Monitor goes to sleep, window closes out but I still can't interact with the desktop until I press the mod key, and I hear that one sound that's made when something's disconnected. It's only happened to me when playing games. What do? I'm thinking that it's a driver issue, but I downloaded the latest drivers for my GPU. It might also be that the games are a bit too intensive? I doubt that'd be the case, otherwise it'd happen much sooner, and I don't experience any frame rate issues with what I play. Win10 Enterprise IoT in case that makes a difference. Can it be an issue with something like DirectX 12 or something like that?

Pc noob here currently in the process of getting a new one. Right now im watching tutorials on how to install windows 10 from a usb stick when i get it. My current pc is so old i used a cd to install windows 7 and it had one ssd for windows and a hard drive for movies, games etc. Now ive read that hard drives nowadays arent really a thing anymore so I was planning to get a single 1TB ssd for my new pc which would have a partition for the windows system and then another for all the files. My 1st question is would you recommend this? Like does having one single ssd work well or should i get a small ssd just for windows and a second bigger one for the movies, games etc.? 2nd question: Should i partition the ssd during the installing process of windows 10 or can i do that later on without any problems?
>>101366114You should use two SSDs. Also let Windows deal with an unallocated drive itself when installing to one.Also HDDs aren't completely obsolete, people use them for large scale storage because they're cheap.
How much of the windows privacy talk is schizophrenia and how much of it is realistic?Like if you're watching anime or doing job related stuff with proprietary windows software what privacy are you trying to get exactly?
>>101365548>n-no there really are demonic faces in the wallpaper laughing at me>if you can't see them too, y-youre delusional
>>101366163Sorry not a native english speaker, what exactly do you mean with let windows deal with an unallocated drive itself when installing to one?I assume since you said i should get two ssds you mean i select one purely for windows and dont do any partitioning or anything else on that ssd?
>>101366202privacy is subjective first of all.second, nobody cares about your data unless you're a public figure.
>>101366202Most of 4chan is into kiddy porn. You can't be too paranoid/delusional/schizophrenic regarding that.Here in reality, governments, health care, F500 companies (where it's literally a crime if Windows leaks their data) use Windows every day.
>>101366224Yes, use one SSD only for Windows and the other for storage. In the Windows setup when you see the connected drives you should select "Disk 0 Unallocated Space" to install to.
>>101358849By going to your local Microsoft Certified Partner, and ordering a volume license for it. Minimum five licenses, but those licenses don't all have to be for LTSC.
>>101366251Will do, thanks for your help!
>>101360061>programs want at least 22H2 for no real reasonLike I've been telling Win7 baby ducks for a decade, I'm not writing, testing and supporting thousands of lines of fallback code when there's a one-line kernel32/advapi32 call that's been there for years, just because you're poor and stupid.
>>101360061>those programs want at least 22H2 for no real reasonbecause WDDM. if your WDDM doesnt support a feature then the application doesn't run at all. Case and point when all the LTSC retards were crying back then when DX12 Ultimate games didnt work for ages.
>>101352785I run as many portable programs as possible, so I can simply move the folder to a new install, and it's ready to go. No more installing, importing settings or setting it all up again, just launch and it's all the same.
>>101352271Fun fact of the day:French Windows 10 users don't get bugged by the full-screen "Update to Windows 11" pop-up. RUXIM specifically checks for it, and stops dead if detected.Common patriote W.
I previously had some sort of configuration that prevented W11 from downloading and updating automatically, and would let me pick and choose which update I wanted. I reset Windows and now I cannot find a way to do that again, not even running Chris Titus's debloater won't work. I am running a custom iso I made with NTlite and enabled an option there to make updates manual but it seems to not be working for some reason. I want Windows to NOT update anything out of the box and let me pick driver and security updates and just let the iso version alone. Any help?
>>101366473Disable the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy in Group Policy. It should make it that all updates need to be installed manually via the update catalog.
>>101366251One more question if youre still here (or anyone else who sees this). How big should the ssd for windows be?I suppose I dont need a 1TB ssd for it so I would get a smaller one to save some money but im not sure how big it should be.
>>101366515You could get away with a 500GB one if you want. A Windows install takes around 21GB these days.
>>101366504When I pressed to check for updates it started downloading them automatically,
>>101366525You do need to factor in pagefile, hiberfile, and growth due to installing updates however. I personally like to budget InstallSize * 2 for my Windows partitions, and as such, 30-40GB has served me well since Vista.
>>101366550Well then something fucked up somewhere. Try enabling the policy but set it to notify when there's updates to download. Better then nothing.>>101366564Personally I disable hibernation on my PCs so the hiberfile doesn't matter, but yeah okay I get you.
>>101366525>>101366564If you read the earlier replies my original question was if you would recommend getting a new pc with a single 1TB ssd for everything or if it would be better to get a smaller ssd and another bigger one for games, movies etc. But now you said windows is like 21gb, maybe a little more with future updates but it seems crazy to get a 500gb ssd just for this. So now i unsure
>>101366615If you're on a tight budget go ahead and use a 250GB one if you want. People don't really bother because storage is a relatively cheap part of a PC build like RAM.
>>101366615Purchasing drives, unless you have specific capacity requirements, has always revolved around best $-to-GB ratio.If the 1TB is cheaper (per GB) than the 500GB, go for it. The other anon was just saying how big Windows is, and I was recommending how much breathing room to provide over that.
>>101366635>>101366653Gotcha, thanks. You are right it doesnt cost that much money so I will probably just get two.
>>101353474lol no

Using W11, on the latest security update.Today after booting the PC it just refused to recognize my motherboard's wifi as plugged in. I can only see the Ethernet adapter, which I can't test right now.Any help? The Mobo is a gigabyte B760M DSH3 AX. Downloading the manufacturer drivers didn't work. Doing a network reset didn't work. Removing yesterday's security update didn't work.In device manager the adapter is hidden, and simply shows as unplugged.
Reinstalled windows and now posts on 4chan have the wrong time on them. Says posts made at this very instant were made 6 hours ago. Is this a windows issue I got to tamper with? A browser issue? Anyone can guide me on this one?My windows is using my local time no problem, always has and I never had this issue before.
>>101367019I use MPC-HC because it's the only thing that works with HDR correctly with MadVR. MPV tonemaps incorrectly. VLC is roflmao artifacts or crash.
>>101367234>MPV tonemaps incorrectly.False
>>101367083Do a bios update or if you're already on the latest try reset cmos.
>>101367250It's a common issue repeated on their GitHub with no fix.
>>101367254One more thing, which had me discount the mobo: I have a usb wifi adapter, and windows won't recognize that one either.
>>101367268Skill issue most likely
>>101367284Yeah the skill issue is using mpv. The unofficial fix is move to MPC-HC as they close all tickets now on it while it's already resolved on a other player.

Ok so I'm still using windows 7 and finally decided it's time to upgrade to 10. There are 4 LTSC versions for me to choose from, which will work best with an ancient Thinkpad T520? Sandy Bridge, 16gb of ram and iGPU. Is oldest (1607) better here?

I just spent 1 hour doing post install installing software editing group policies etc and it turns out I INSTALLED WINDOWS ON THE HDD INSTEAD OF THE NVMEthey were just called drive 0 and 1 during the installation and I thought for some reason that 0 would be the nvmecan I use clonezilla to copy everything to the ssd and then format the hdd? will that fuck anything up?would I have to redo all the group policy/drivers/services shit?
>>101371805>I thought for some reason that 0 would be the nvmeNope. Windows enumerates IDE, then SATA, then SCSI/SAS, then NVMe.

I'm trying out Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC on VirtualBox and it's not that bad. It's a nice refresh of the UI. I can autohide the ugly taskbar so it's all right. I thought they removed the calendar when you click the time but turns out you just need to expand it.Will this version auto-update or will you need to reinstall it from scratch every time a new LTSC comes out?

Putting your user profile on a separate partition (and updating registry/environment variables) allows for fearless OS updating right? Does anyone actually do this?

>>101373362The OP hasn't changed it from when it was originally leaked from the preview branch, and the one that's on massgrave's index now is an open preview ISO for OEMs. According to anons it's getting better and better with each cumulative update.
>>101373065I'm not a thread regular (I don't even use Windows myself but want to bcuz gaymes) but I want to know more. What steps did you take to disable telemetry? What tool are you using to monitor network traffic? i've heard anons say if one is serious about taming wangblows homephoning features, that you need a separate router for it. Would you agree?
>>101373760Most just use ShutUp10 or something else like it to automatically enable any telemetry disabling registry edits and disable any telemetry-focused services. There's also Simplewall which is a frontend to a firewall-adjacent filtering platform that comes with telemetry IP blocklists by default.

It's crazy how slow Windows 11 GUI is, even on a clean, patched install. Even with transparency and animations off. This is a 10th gen Intel laptop and Windows 10 absolutely flies on it. It's just so depressing. I'm trying to find a Linux distro that works because I'm done with my OS feeling sluggish for absolutely no good reason. Is Microsoft ever going to address performance of their OS or is this just the new status quo?
If I have a PC with two drives, each with a separate instance of windows, is there an easy way to only allow one of them internet access?I want to airgap one while allowing the other normal functionality.
>>101373970win+r ncpa.cpl right click interface disable
>>101373542I do, I keep my partitions, profiles and programs separate from the windows OS.
>>101373998How simple was it? What does your Disk Management look like? Your file structure?
>>101373608Like any game, recently I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 (pirated), and it started stuttering a lot when driving, then on the most recent SMTVV on Steam, at first there was an occurrence where I started the game then it would freeze or stutter and then it would run like normal after like 10 minutes, this never happened before when I was on the preinstalled W11 on the laptop, so I think I did an oopsie when doing the clean install of W11 LTSC... so yeah I dont have the cool configurations or my past configs...
>>101374080(me)Also as additional info, there were times on Cyberpunk, the game would freeze... I would have to force shutdown the laptop since I couldnt alt f4 nor change tabs
>>101374014It very simple actually, one partition is windows the other partition I throw programs in folder called programs and user accounts in folder called user, a folder for stream games and a folder for visual studio ect junk, another partition for backups of software and two portions with WIM boot loaders for emergencies (installed windows on this PC with no DVD drive)app data can also be moved with registry key hacking for full roaming accounts but I don't mess with that anymore it leads to trouble with some software environments
>>101374014forgot to say desktop, documents, music, videos ect user folders are also all moved over to the other partition.
moving your whole userprofile to another partition/drive will end up causing issuesfor some reason some programs expect some of those forlder to be on C:in my opinion is just better to change the location of the user default folders
>>101374231IMO just changing the location of the default user folders to folders on a D:\ drive for example is good enough.
>>101374244i think i even had issues with some old games because my documents folder was on D:old games love to save to documentsso i dont move all of them
>>101374231>>101374244
>>101371805yea you can clone it, should be fine
>>101373065you don't use a block-by-default firewall?the only way to be sure you've got everything is to white list the stuff you want online, instead of trying to work out a black list for stuff you don't
My girlfriend computer has been experiencing trouble, so far I've gotten Kernel in page error and recently now she told me she got a BSOD of unexpected store exception, one she restarts it'll say like reboot or select proper boot device. Is it my GPU that's dying or RAM/Hardrive? It's a 2060 Ultra KO with 16 GB, 3600 CPU. It's way passed overdue for a cleaning.....
>>101373065We aren't low IQ chimps that don't know how a firewall (like, for example, the one that's been built into Windows since you were in diapers) works.If you actually want to impress us, you have to tell us something that hasn't been common knowledge for literal decades.
>>101374436>>101374545imagine doing all that to just run winowsand no you cant block shit, microsoft stuff is hardcoded to connect to their serverscrazy how people just accep this shit

>>101374597>>fight your computer to make it stop doing what you don't wantsolved completely and permanently in 30 seconds unless you're technology illiterate
>>101374566>imagine doing all that to just run winowsLiterally takes seconds to launch some firewall software.>and no you cant block shit, microsoft stuff is hardcoded to connect to their servers.LOL hardcoded are you trying to say windows isn't software,
>>101374566For 25 years, you've lied about this. Tell me where this "evil bit" in the firewall is, and better, tell me how it also reprograms all downstream devices (in realtime) to hide telemetry packets.Go on, tell me how it does it you braindead fuckstick, I'm waiting.
>>101374597>fight your computer to make it stop doing what you don't wantI press four buttons in a memescript.If this is your definition of "fighting", no wonder you get beaten up by 6yo girls so often.
>>101374705you literally can go an open the resource monitor and check for yourself lolyou blocking shit with the firewall does nothing
>>101374165um you can't post something like that...

>>101374754>>101374765The only think that's pathetic is how much you had to lie over the last 30 years to achieve 2% market penetration, freetard.No wonder you need fucking safespaces to hide in - imagine being as shit as you IRL.
>>101374730>too stupid to configure a firewall>reeeeeeeeeeeee da firewall dun workUltra common loontroon l

>>101374785deranged
>Baiters biting baitersWow awesome
>>101374800Most freetards became freetards because they couldn't do something basic in Windows like disable a pride flag or something. Configuring a firewall would be like asking these dumb animals to build a FTL drive.
>>101374845More like wipe their own asses (impossible)
>>101374845still waiting for your resource monitor picture
Was doing some routine drive cleanup, and I found this. Any idea what it could be?
>>101352785the free trial version of iobit advanced systemcare
>>101373794so for simplewall i just leave the default settings right?i see that it has that WindowsSpyBlockers IPs
>>101375018Yes IIRC the WindowsSpyBlocker IPs are default.
>>101358816the urge to buy a decommissioned miner increases
>>101374941It would be like giving you the blueprints to the SpaceX Dragon: a waste of effort because you're far too fucktarded to understand it, as you've demonstrated up and down this thread.Now drop off, you stupid freetard (but I repeat myself). This is the last (You) you're getting.
>>101375031should i install it or use the portable version?
Good morning sars

Is there a major reason to use Win 11 LTSC if I'm just gonna remove/disable/block as many MS services as possible?
>>101375301The main reason people argue for 11 is the partition bug in 10 ltsc which isnt getting fixed. I have no idea what it even is but I was on that for a while and went to 11 expecting slow explorer and all this other shit but its all just as snappy. Must only be the normie edition thats bogged down with all this bing start menu and slow explorer shit. I actually like the center taskbar now, seems more efficient.
>>101375301Mostly that you have an LTSC edition but any new features 11 includes are now something you can use like Auto HDR and DirectStorage, plus native DNS-over-HTTPS.Also it's on 24H2 instead of 21H2, so some more snooty programs will actually run.
>>101375416Nah, it's just poorfags being poor: they're installing it on their dumpster-dived 2500Ks, and whining it doesn't work and its le bad, just as they tried to install Vista 20 years ago on their Pentium 2s with 256MB RAM, and it doesn't work and its le bad, etc.Basically, the universe is poorfags all the way down, not turtles.

>>101376159Hey, you only cried to mommy for (checks watch) 3 hours this time. Your ability to handle being mocked as the 'tard you are is improving.
>>101374014https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1964-move-users-folder-location-windows-10-a.html
>>101377364great that you can do it, but i think it creates issues with some programs that expect certain folders to be on C:
>>101377585It all comes down to the dev. Sometimes they're a little more free with locations and some want hardcoded C:\ locations and it's basically a roulette draw on what it'll be. This is why portable stuff is so appealing to some.
I have a question, who confirmed the sha256 hash in the OP post here so that it's a genuine w10 ltsc iso file? https://pastebin.com/ywkasnhM why does it point to a random website instead of actually downloading from microsoft or something? and in the 'details' section that points to the 'mydigitallife' website what does this have to do with anything? it's some gay gate kept website that wont let you see any links or posts unless signing up that doesnt even work
where is the official cangelog for the monthly updates of w10?for instance I use https://uupdump.net/known.php?q=category:w10-22h2 to get the iso and currently the latest version is (19045.4713) so what's the changelog for this?
>>101377713If the ISOs are uploaded to massgrave's repo they are geniune. You need to pay a monthly fee to get access to MS's actual hash entries so that files.rg-adguard site is the next best thing because they just provide scraped hashes from said MS hash entries. So just download the ISO, run the ISO through Get-FileHash in a PS instance then compare it to the filename entry hash on the files.rg-adguard website.
>>101377762Ahh okay thanks, just curious though you imply massgrave is very reputable since it's on that site, I've never heard of it, whats the quick rundown on that site?
>>101357811>bravelmfao
>>101377793Massgrave is another alias for a user on MyDigitalLife who is very reputable, with MyDigitalLife pretty much being the main place where people in the Windows ISO/activation world hang out. You need to sign into the site to actually see any links/most posts but it's full of Windows knowledge.
>>101377825It's the best Chromium browser.
>>101377837vanilla chrome is better if you're just gonna igve all your shit to an ad compnay like brave

>>101377889Yeah but literally everything you do goes through Google servers and that sounds great. Also Youtube sucks in vanilla Chrome because UBO barely works in it anymore.

why does mpc-hc takes so long to open a video
>>101378296hdd spinup?
>>101378362mpv is almost instant
>>101378383easiest would be a reinstall with settings reset. my guess is its some codec fuckery. mayhaps a different codec pack is interfering.
>>101378410i dont have any codec pack installedi noticed that mpc-hc loads the small player and it says "opening video" then it opens the videoi think thats just how it works
>>101378432for me it takes around 0.7 sec from idle hdd, 0.2 for ssd shitposting webbums. im on 2.2.1 portable with basically default settings. 8700k 3060. though i cant say it was much slower on my previous 3570k with a 1060.
>>101377585Back in the Win8.x days, moving your profile folder wholus-bolus to another drive would break per-user Metro apps, because they used hardlinks to connect the per-user install somewhere in %APPDATA% to the system-wide install - and hardlinks famously don't work across volumes.I've seen a few anons swear blind this was fixed in one of the early releases of Win10, but I've never tested it myself. As a result, I use the right click->Properties->Target tab to move the profile folders backed by a shell folder the "approved" way, and then junction specific remaining folders to the new drive that I know won't cause trouble (such as cache folders, rude Win32 programs that install themselves into %APPDATA%, etc).
>>101377762>You need to pay a monthly fee to get access to MS's actual hash entriesYou don't actually - Microsoft just makes it fucking obtuse to get there. I had to click about 14 different links until I got to the MVS display, but as I was doing it semi-randomly, I have no doubt it can be optimised.What you DO need is a Microsoft Account of some type (no, not linked to your Windows install/logon - just a Hotmail or OneDrive account on MS websites will do the trick). It doesn't show complete information if you're not subscribed to MVS (such as product keys) of course, but it does show basics like file name, release date, SHA1/SHA256 hashes etc.
>>101377856I always find it entertaining when idiots "defend the honor" of Google - an ad company, and by a considerable margin, the most evil of them.
>>101377856Ah yes the closed source browser made by Google will definitely respect my privacy unlike the open source browser by the evil ad corp.
>>101378689neither respect your privacy

Is there a way to tell explorer.exe to eat shit and have every programs use something else like Explorer++ instead?
>>101381957i mean, for a start you could always try replacing the explorer exe in sys 32, though its "a bit" risky, so you better have another os on usb or whatever.

>>101382902skill issueseriouslyhow is everyone struggling so much with windows after using it for decades when it's supposed to be retardproof?how do they then move to linux when they couldn't even figure out windows? are they all larping?
>>101382902Windows updates are basically a computer literacy test.If you're too dumb, stupid, or technology illiterate to do a 30 second google to block the updates until you want to do them, you are exactly the type of braindead subhuman normie retard who can't be trusted to take care of a computer. You're the exact type of moron who would click "no" to security updates for months or years while installing 200 malware greeting card toolbar trojans on your PC while blaming "M$" for having "bad security." When people talk about how fucking stupid and clueless boomers/zoomers are with technology, they're talking about you.YOUSUBHUMANNIGGERSHAVEBEENCRYINGABOUTTHISSHITFOROVERADECADEAND YOU STILL CANT FIGURE IT OUTAN ENTIRE FUCKING DECADEKIDS HCAM FIGURE THIS OUT BUT YOU CANTYOU ARE SUBHUMAN NIGGER TRASHIf you cry about something this fucking simple, you are too fucking stupid to use a computer, you are too fucking stupid to even breathe without assistance and need to be put in assisted living since you clearly can't take care of yourself much less your computer. You are exactly the type of brain dead retard who should not have a choice to apply updates. The funniest part about this is that even with everything taken care of for you, you subhuman niggers still manage to fuck up your PC by ignoring all warnings and installing 219837387 viruses and 13952598 hobbyist system hacks that break your entire system and proceeding to blame MS and Windows for your own retardation. Forced updates on normie retards are the best thing to happen to computing, it protects braindead retard niggers like you from yourselves (usually), while having a net positive impact on computer literate users because we don't have to deal with most of your self inflicted retard problems anymore. If you need to bitch and cry about this, you don't have the IQ to own a computer. Just lynch yourself and purge your subhuman trash genes from the pool for the betterment of mankind.

Office LTSC Pro Plus 2021 isnt updating anymore
I am having trouble connecting to Dark Souls servers (any of them, and coincidentally only those titles) after I fresh installed Windows using W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 and this thread's guide (https://rentry.org/windowsinstallguide) to set up basic privacy and QoL changes. The game boots me to the menu screen after 2-5mins because I lose connection with the server, but I can log back in instantly from the menu. It seems like I lose connection for 30s, because network features like signs and bloodstains stop working, which is enough to boot me out, but I can login again instantly again from the menu.I made sure to not use any external tool other than the guide, only modifying via gpedit and registry (I have experience setting things up with them). I tested if it wasn't the firewall acting up but even creating rules for the games specifically and even disabling the FW it doesn't change.Anyone else had any issues with fromsoftware titles using this version? I don't know what could be causing it and don't want to format for the 3rd time (unrelated issues)thanks anons love you
>>101386401>he fell for the debloat meme
>still no 24h2 in vlsc what are they cooking
>>101384136It may still be a preview currently but with it being open preview now you should expect more stability (or at least more stability every month with the cumulative updates) then when it was leaked from the closed preview branch.
>>101387060Originally it was lots of AI garbage, but because companies got mad about Recall they gotta change everything. A thanks to the customers that truly matter most.
>>101386401Have you tried just changing your system-wide DNS server in the network settings? Whenever I had problems connecting to shit game-wise this usually fixed it.
Is there anywhere to get W7 Ultimate free? I'm putting linux on a shitty celeron 3150 all-in-one and figured dual booting windows would be fun. I don't see W7 ult on my usual usenet sources.
>>101388218It's easier to use Enterprise instead these days because you can activate it easier. 7 ISOs are in the same place as all the other ISOs in the OP pastebin. Mainly massgrave.

>>101388238Does enterprise have offline activation? I supposed I don't need any of the ult features since the install will be a glorified toy.
>>101388279Yes, you can use the tool KMS_VL_ALL by abbodi to freely activate it. Ultimate though can't be activated with this method.
>>101388279yea, ultimate is a consumer edition, so it doesn't support volume licensing. only professional and enterprise do
