My only gripe with Windows is that it's faster for me to install arch fresh, about an hour and I have my system fully configured. Meanwhile last time I tried windows it took a day. Otherwise idgaf, I just hope Microshaft takes a hint and makes the installation user friendly for normal people like me. Also WSL2 and MSYS2 work for C++ wonderfully, I use it at work for production so its be fine for my hobby shit. The thing about work is that I have there is a IT admin who got paid to debloat+configure sane defaults for my Windows with Group policies and I just install a code editor.

Why is W10 IoT LTSC a little bitch with file sharing?
It is so easy to set up file sharing on my local network with other versions of Windows, but my two machines with IoTLTSC give me a hard time when it comes to accessing stuff from other computers using IoTLTSC, yet I can can access shared folders in IoTLTSC from other machines without issues.

I made sure the right ports aren't blocked, SSDP, NetBIOS, UPnP, and the the Peerblabla services are all running, Network Discovery on, Perimissions are set right, but trying to grab stuff from other machines using IoTLTSC is nearly impossible, yet taking stuff out is easy. I can't find what is missing in online guides.

I went full retard and forgot that you're supposed to use an alternative launcher for Minecraft if you don't want to deal with the Microsoft store being shoehorned into the installation process. I went to retry it thinking it'd just install without having to use the Microsoft store (I'm using the version recommended in the OP, I don't have the Microsoft store installed), and it started to install a bunch of Microsoft store shit. How do I delete all the shit associated with it? There's some process to sterilize my installation of the Microsoft store, right? What about the apps that it managed to install? How do I uninstall those from the command line (considering that I don't exactly know what it did install)?

Should installing IoT LTSC 2024 over current version Enterprise work?

I'm downloading the iso right now.

>>101392217
If you mean mainline Enterprise then no you can't, not natively at least. You can kinda jank your way to it via editing a registry entry but I wouldn't recommend it.
If you wanna go through with it you should back up your shit then clean wipe and re-install.

>>101392215
so how doe it grab the entire drive if its ran from said drive?

I've seen videos where a guy uses it on an online C:\ drive he was logged into and it worked totally fine IE cloning it to another drive.

Go to Device Manager, go to the bluetooth device's properties, click Update Driver, and follow prompts to see if you can get Windows Update to give you a compatible driver in Optional Updates.
Alternatively, in the device's properties, look at Hardware Instance info and it should be a string of numbers, letters, underscores, and percent signs. You copy that weird stuff and put it in Bing or Google search to find the driver .inf, .cab, and related files, if they can be found.

I don't know if it might be possible to score the correct combo drivers from any OEM and install that, but Windows and its built-in drivers will get in the way.

It is recommended that you don't use custom ISOs like atlas or tiny11, learn how to customize it yourself by reading their documentation if you want.
If you want to keep your personal files (non programs) you'll have to put them on a different drive, reinstall windows and move them back unfortunately

11, in fact. Not a big difference over W10, mind you. It is W7 vs. W10/11 I'm unsure about. I can pit them against each other, but my W7 machine has a battery 2/3rds the size of my W10/11 machines' batteries. Then W11 itself has a small edge over my other machines then my W11 laptop runs an i7-12700, so if just light computing (which don't do on that machine anymore) W11 + e-cores beat the rest significantly. But for light computing, posting on 4chinz, I use a low-end machine or another. My W11 laptop tends to be relegated to heavy gaming and Stable Diffusion.

Battery life boils down more to use case and optimization of Winhoes. But you start gaming, doing software dev stuff, 3D modelling, SD or LLMs stuff, and so forth, your battery will not last anyway. The battery is more of a built-in UPS if you do anything more than shitpost on the interwebz and type essays/reports.

but then some are also webms
i just want to be able to tap the right arrow/spacebar/enter to scroll through these and for it to load super fucking quickly because my machine shouldn't take any fucking time at all to load a stupid fucking image file when i have some AMD gpu running
i also want the image to be correctly sized when i open it, irfanview fucks this up constantly, it's not intelligent at all. yes i probably have to configure it but it has gay-ass defaults.
do these faggot image viewers even use some kind of hardware acceleration? it feels like most don't

i recall some old image/file viewer would handle this fucking perfectly, and it was probably back from the XP era
as long as it just handles images fast and ideally also handle webms then cool. if it simply ignores webms (i realize they are videos) then also cool.

The laptop also paired just fine to my Bluetooth headphones and gamepad, and it sees other devices like my neighbor's smart TV, but it just will not see this mouse.

Winsisters, how the fuck do I remove edge? I thought switching to LTSC would stop this bullshit, this is taking the absolute piss now. I'm on LTSC 2021 and I've tried:

>https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-remove-microsoft-edge-from-windows-10
>https://github.com/he3als/EdgeRemover
>https://www.wisecleaner.com/how-to/248-how-to-uninstall-ms-edge-and-prevent-reinstalling-on-windows-11.html

Non of these work. I had edge removed for a whole 2 weeks and now its back? I disabled updates but how the fuck is it back? Is there a sure fire way I can gut this from my system for good????

>>101403166
You could just ignore it you know. Delete the shortcut from the desktop, let it rot in the start menu while you use your actual browser.
2019 had pre-Chromium Edge as well.

>>101403166
install windows 7

>>101403259
>You could just ignore it you know.
Sorry, no, not good enough. This shit would automatically turn as my default browser and a lot of my programs try to run in edge. I can't even switch default browsers, the option wont let me, kek. The only thing that kinda works is the wisecleaner program. Now I have to block anything edge related with my firewall and delete the folder through cmd line.

So glad I'm slowly switching to Linux, holy shit.

>>101403354
If even half of my programs ran on 7, I would in a heart beat.

Literally never had your problems and I'm on IoT LTSC 2021.

I foolishly allowed my laptop to update yesterday and KB5040427 got in.
Booted today and got my first bsod in 15 minutes. Googled the update, apparently it also adds copilot. How fucked am I? Can you uninstall cumulative updates?
Reinstalling shitblows and applying updates 1 by 1 is a pain in the ass.

>>101403766
That update is the July cumulative update for IoT LTSC 2021 though? I got that recently and I don't have Co-Pilot nor has my PC acted any different.

>>101403793
I guess
I don't care either way, uninstalling it now, thought it was one of the "non-uninstallable" updates

>>101391900
Explorerpatcher seems to work from what I can see.

>>101403440
>cmd line
I'm not a Windows guy but maybe if you swap edge.exe or whatever with a hard link to Chromium the horror will end.

I have a noisy fucking fan on my new laptop. theres nothing wrong with it except its high pitch that comes on constantly at intermittent random intervals is driving me insane. the pitch is just high and piercing enough to shoot up my cortisol levels. Is there something i can do to the fan to mediate this...like take it out and shave the fan arms down to be thinner or prune off 2 fan arms on opposite side of each other or what. buying this was a mistake, i should got a desktop and for mobile screen use i could got a Samsung galaxy tablet, laptop suck donkey dick. I live in UK where it almost never changes from damp and cold year round, we get maybe 3 weeks of accumulated sun for the entire year so im not concerned by over heating. fuck this shit

>>101404254
You can use something like FanControl to customize your fan speeds.

>>101404268
yeah i may have to. i limited the max cpu in battery settings to 80% to control how hot it gets and that helped a lot but not enough

>>101404287
In Dell there is like a cpu boost mode in bios that makes it spike to 100 the entire time.

What's the recommended antivirus for windows nowadays? I thought defender was free but looks like things have changed now.

>>101404977
What are you talking about? Defender is still the built-in free AV and always will be.

>>101404984
I'm talking about this 365 stuff. Sorry, I'm a linux user and I'm fixing my uncle's computer. It's been a while and it looks like you need some sort of subscription? Am I wrong?

>>101405001
No, Defender comes with all Windows 10/11 systems for free. For a vast majority of virus shit it does the job, though I disable the cloud protection and auto sample submission options because they're spooky.
365 is what Microsoft Office is these days, basically paying a monthly fee to just use Office. Though there's an easy to use activator within the activator script in the OP that can permanently activate Office 365 for free without needing an MS account to use.

>>101405062
RetroBar can at least make your taskbar look like a 9x/2000 one, and you could use OpenShell to make the start menu look like the 9x/2000 one as well. Can't help you with Explorer though.

Trying to install WIn10 IoT LTSC through vmware and now it's asking for a version to choose
Should I go for Education or what

>>101405347
You used an IoT LTSC 2021 ISO but it's asking if you wanna install Education? The only two choices should be LTSC and IoT LTSC, which you should choose IoT LTSC.

>>101405136
Just close it? There's an office 365 version of Windows Defender but you don't need it just use the free one that comes preinstalled on Windows.

>>101405347
As the other anon said if you can select education you are not using a Win10 IoT LTSC ISO.

I had a SSD for windows and hard drives for games etc on my old pc and im getting a new one now with a single 2TB SSD .
When i install windows10 via usb stick and choose the only SSD for installation, do i have to make partitions or anything like that or can i safely just put all the games and files on the same SSD without any trouble after i installed windows?

Is anyone else perpetually paranoid that they always manage to taint or defile clean installations on brand new SSDs by accidentally setting up drivers or programs wrong, inducing needless write cycles, or otherwise installing bloat?

I sometimes feel the compulsion to reinstall Windows even if I just did so on a brand new SSD with 30GB already written just so I can set up the user folders and re-install proof stuff wherever possible. I don't like programs shitting up the Windows folder directory and mixing and mashing in there to the point where you can't tell where the programs end and the OS files begin.

If windows is closed source how could someone write programs for it?
Are some parts closed and others open?
Is the running program only able to use certain parts or what?

>>101406735
>wasting 25gb rewriting a new Windows install to an already formatted SSD when you can just uninstall, clear reg keys, and shrink the partition to move the user and appdata folders and install all programs on that partition instead
Is this what crippling autism looks like?

Anywhere I can still download MagicDisc or MagicISO? The website seems to be dead.

Okay, building a new system now with a 7950X3D. I'm most interested in Linux, but figure I may need a Win install at least at first for testing shit out given my last overclocked system is a Haswell-E X99 platform and clearly lots of shit has changed.

I know I need Win11 to deal with the scheduler/thread director stuff and if still accurate, I'll need the stupid fuck Xbox Game Bar (and Xbox Game Mode, Xbox itself etc) in order for the proper cores to be used without having to do manual fuckng around with Process Lasso or something similar right? I also need to have access to stuff like old fuck SMB shares on my currently ancient file server until I rebuild it.So with all that in mind if it worth it for me to get
>W11 Pro or similar
>W11 Enterprise LTSC
>W11 Enterprise LTSC IoT
I know that Enterprise LTSC and/or IoT version has less bullshit around, but I don't know how difficult it is to install stuff like the Xbox Game Bar or similar Windows Store shit on those platforms if they're needed. If its a matter of simply installing them but they're not there by default then okay, but if its something where you need to basically fuck around in the registry or manually enable stuff with polikit then I'd like to know in advance

>>101407046
not that I know of but perhaps we can suggest an alternative? what feature do you need

>>101407495
>what feature do you need
Mounting and dealing with ISO's on older versions of Windows without the need to install heavy adware like PowerISO. Checking out Passmark OSFMount next.

>>101406794
you do not need the source code of windows to write code for windows, you need a compiler that can output windows binaries. There are open and closed source compilers for windows that are both free to download

Anon, I'm just about to build a new Zen4 system and its my first AMD Ryzen based one (before that I was HEDT Intel and old Threadripper X399 days).

As I understand, if you want Windows and you want a Zen4, especially a Ryzen 9 proc that has any heterogeneity in its CPU cores like the X3D series (7900X3D, or probably 7950X3D) you absolutely NEED Win11. This is also the case if you have a P core + E Core Intel 12th gen or newer setup. Basically Win11 has a new thread director/scheduler thing that has not been backported to Win10. Now there may be some benefits for the Ryzen 9 NON 3D cache scheduling too or those with a single CCD like the 7800X3D but its especially important if you have a 2CCD proc w/ 3D cache. Also, apparently for stuff like gaming AMD and Microsoft basically did least possible work at times in that it expects the Xbox Game Bar to be running to decide what cores to push to stuff in what I hear is like this
>Xbox Game Bar running over/alongside this executable? Well, its a game, push it to the Cache Cores on CCD0
>No Game bar? Its not a game, seek highest frequencies possible on the non-cache cores for production work
You can manually fuck with this with Process Lasso of course, but it always bothered me that a top of the line proc should not have a built in and/or open source software profiler that "automatically" sets things as they should be, by profile or heuristic/usage at both OS/software and board/firmware levels. I've been told that thngs are better now than they used to be and in Linux the Ryzen 9 X3Ds work as well, but still its something to keep in mind. So yeah, for Win you need 11 - and maybe an 11 that will have access to Xbox stuff if you're going to game on it.

I don't, I am the only person that uses my PC, I don't do anything risky that I may need to restore later

Is it safe to buy and activate a cheap windows key from sites like mmoga, kinguin etc or do i risk that after a few months stops working?

Can I still install Office 2003 or '97 on Windows 7 and get Microsoft Agents to work? I want Clippy and that cool robot back.

>>101407802
The better question is why the fuck would you do that

>>101407869
What options do I have? I used my windows 7 key which i upgraded for free to windows 10 for the past ~10years and now im getting a new Pc and i need a windows 10 key. An official key cost like 150+. You cant sriously tell me people spend that much when they get a new pc

>>101407903
You could just stop being retarded and read the OP.

>>101407915
Dont care about using scripts or anything of that sort. Just want to pay a little money and use it for the next decade and thats it

>>101407959
You're paying money for the exact same thing. MAS is a legitimate key, it even shows up on your MS account if you have one.

why can't I shrink my SSD partition by more than half

>>101407903
>I used my windows 7 key which i upgraded for free to windows 10 for the past ~10years
I have had success using the same key multiple times, did you try this already?
>An official key cost like 150+. You cant sriously tell me people spend that much when they get a new pc
buying resold keys is against ToS the same way the activator in the OP is against ToS, rarely do people pay the $150, they usually break ToS

>>101408065
Dont have my new pc yet so i didnt try but i read that microsoft stopped in october last year letting people upgrade to w10 with their w7 keys for free.

>>101408035
Are there any good tutorials for this im a pc noob pretta much. I even though of just paying 80 bucks to the shop where i order and get the pc built to have them install w10 for me. But my original plan was then to download w10 on an usb stick with the media creation tool and then install it on my new pc and actvivate it with some cheap key.
However now im interested after reading the faq. Those LTSC versions of w10 if i understand it correctly, these are less bloated and versions that i can use for years to come without havung to uograde to w11 next year is that correct?

When installing drivers should you always install it to your Local Disk or can you use a separate partition?

>>101408269
You don't usually pick where drivers are installed, are you sure you're not thinking of where they are extracted during the installation process, 10 times out of 10 the drivers go into a sub directory in C:\Windows

>>101408269
>>101408333
Trying to move the entire user or users folder onto a secondary partition or drive (inclding AppData if you somehow move that) can sometimes feel like it may be unnecessary especially if you're on a laptop, even if you're using portable applications. Is it really going to save you time setting up again when reinstalling? I'd imagine you always want to delete all partitions and reformat every time you do so.

Also, I'm fairly certain Windows doesn't fully support this either. Especially if the machines are networked and make use of the public folder or if the system has multiple user accounts.

>>101408563
I don't think moving the user folder is a supported feature, although I have never tried it. I don't try to save time on reinstalling, when I reinstall the OS I reinstall the programs too, to eliminate any left over forgotten files, to do updates and simultaneously audit to eliminate any programs I don't use any more.

do you guys actually use a second partition if you're on a laptop with one SSD

>>101408658
no, I don't see a point

If I shrink a volume, format the new volume, delete it, then extend the original volume to re-encompass the new volume, do I need to re-align the partition or re-install and reformat? Diskpart reports 1024kb offset for the recovery partition, but for the main 232gb disk partition it reports a 501mb offset.

>>101408658
>>101408687
This was bascially my question from earlier:>>101406523
So I can just put Windows and all the other stuff on the single SSD. But lets say i wanna make a seperate partition for windows alone right fter installation, doesnt the SSD get wiped when you split it?

>>101408716
>shrinking volumes, deleting, and extending them just added 150gb of writes to my SSD out of nowhere
brb killing myself
thought I defiled my virgin ssd and wasted write cycles enough just by reinstalling the OS once and reformatting

Lol what happens if I format the recovery partition during installation

>>101408741
>do i have to make partitions or anything like that
no
>can i safely just put all the games and files on the same SSD without any trouble after i installed windows?
yes
>doesnt the SSD get wiped when you split it?
no

>>101408835
Thanks

I second the advice in OP W10IoTLTSC install procedure link, having data of value to you on a separate partition if you don't have a second drive is an excellent idea.
I've never tried it as it has never crossed my mind. I am so accustomed to saving anything of value on blank CDs, DVDs or USB HDDs. I still think saving to a second, external or internal, drive is the better way to go. But if you only have one at the moment, then a separate partition is a pretty good idea.


>>101408801
There should be a procedure to make sure Windows repairs it. I've never run into that, so it is up to you.

>Dig laptop out of storage for a short trip
>Network options are gone so I start poking around in services
>Attempting to display dependencies for services throws a win32 error
>Zero fucking idea what service handles displaying dependencies for other services

Anyone have any advice on this? I've tried looking online but I'm phoneposting because I don't have another computer and any results for "service dependency win32 error" gets me an ocean of shit that has no use for me and which I can't wade through on a tiny screen and local documentation is basically nonexistent.

the same way people write programs for linux?
do you think the kernel source code is actually used for anything much aside from drivers
binary code libraries contain symbol names for functions and data and constitute part of application binary interface, in order to consume them from a programming language you need something that maps the symbol name, size, and other stuff to how the language would access it which constitutes the application programming interface
linux and windows both have C APIs, windows also has a lot of C++ code which are accessed from header files
windows ships its headers in the windows sdk
some small parts of it are open source , some are source available
things like mingw have their own versions of the windows sdk components

>>101406794
documentation and headers are available
but yes, you're only supposed to use specific parts of it

>>101408053
because there's something at the half way mark that is in use by the system and can't be moved out of the way
you'll need to unmount the volume first. if it's your C: you'll need to do it from another os such as a linux livecd (yes, you can resize ntfs from linux)

I know the iot ltsc version strips out a lot of features and whatnot, but minidumps shouldn't be one of them, right? my computer has been intermittently BSOD'ing for the last few months and I've been trying to diagnose it, but I don't have any info to work off of and it's very annoying. my only guess is that it might be an issues with either my ssd or the m.2 slot itself, so I even set the dump to write to an external drive just in case that was why nothing was being written, but I'm still not getting any logs

>>101414281
You should run specific tests while the system is running.
If your system bsods it won't dump anything if it goes down hard enough.
Why not do some disk benchmark/stress tests along with prime95 and furmark while you are at it? Could be your PSU.
Also check Event Viewer but it's quite shitty to use really.

>>101414788
did a disk benchmark and it worked fine, event viewer doesn't show anything either the few times I've looked, logs just suddenly halt at the time of crash. and I don't think it's my psu or otherwise power related because it doesn't go down when I'm pushing the system hard while gaming or anything. so far the most reliable way I've found to crash it is to have an automatic backup of the c: drive run in the middle of the night. if I manually run it during the day, it seems to work fine, but if I run it at 5am I wake up to the bios screen. since the other weird side effect of the crash is that it restarts, but thinks it doesn't have an os to boot into so it sits on bios. but as soon as I turn it off and back on, it boots into windows just fine.

/v/ tourist here. Considered switching to linux (EndeavourOS) but ditched the idea once I lurked on the linux threads here and saw how much of a hassle it can be to run games that's not on Steam.
I'm gonna switch to IoT LTSC, but I'm not sure whether to go for the W10 or the W11 version. I bought my Lenovo laptop with W11 Home preinstalled (along with a lot of bloatware as expected). I wanna ask here, if you guys don't mind, which of the two, W10 or W11 IoT LTSC, runs "better" or is the least resource-intensive. And how do I check if I "fell for the 12th+ gen Intel meme and need the new CPU scheduler"?

how do the websites know when you screenshot them, yesterday I was watching a stream from an official source and screenshot were blackout, tried fullscreen and windowed, if you use a third party screenshot tool would it still happen

>>101416506
Turning hardware acceleration off should allow you to screenshot or record it but they might lower the video quality.

So how does the MAS from OP actually work, do i just click a button and it generates a key or how exactly does it work? I was thinking about just paying an extra 80 bucks when order my new prebuilt PC so they install windows 10 and all the drivers for me and i can instantly use it. But from what it seems like its fairly easy to install w10 via usb stick with the media creation tool and then get a working key with the MAS tool. If its simple enough for me it might be worth to save some money

>>101416904
The massgrave website details how all its activation methods work.

>>101416904
>Run the irm command in an admin PS instance
>When it loads, press 1 to run the HWID activation

And your system is activated. Never think about it again.

>>101416929
Will look into it thx
>>101416982
That doesnt sound too complicated. Does it matter which windows10 version im gonna install? I think during the installation i can choose which version and i was planning on windows 10 Pro. Does it matter when using MAS?

>>101396174
No vertical taskbar so windows 11 a shit

>>101417025
HWID can activate any version of 10 or 11 besides the server editions. I recommend you use, Enterprise as well because it lets you disable basically all the telemetry and such.
You could even convert your Pro install into Enterprise with MAS as well with the edition changer in its extras menu.

>>101417043
I will be honest im a pc noob so while no telemetry and bloatware sounds attractive to me, out of convenience and missing knowledge and fear that any programs or driver updates or something like this wont work with these enterprise/ltsc versions i was just gonna go with the standart windows 10 pro.

>>101417082
Normal Enterprise is really similar to Pro, LTSC editions are frozen on a certain version and just get security updates. Normal Enterprise gets the same updates as Home, Pro and Education. All your drivers will work just fine.

>>101417254
So basically Enterprise is Pro without temeletry and Bloatware but all the other normal features correct?
I just read a bit how MAS works and my plan was to install w10 pro on my new pc and the use MAS to activate it. Now you said
>You could even convert your Pro install into Enterprise with MAS as well with the edition changer in its extras menu.
If i wanted to do that should i do it immediately after? Will it be a complete new install that wipes my SSD or how does it work?

>>101417254
Also another thing I just thought about. If I dont want to be forced to upgrade to W11 next year, would you recomment using LTSC version? Do i run with these versions into any trouble if I just wanna use the PC for some Gaming (Like certain Games not working with LTSC anymore after a few years)

>>101417337
Think of it like Enterprise being the "mother edition" of 10 and 11.
Every other edition of Windows is Enterprise with something disabled/taken away, with the closest in blood being Education which only removes two enterprise IT focused features that home users won't ever use.
Also 10 and 11 have always been able to change editions on the fly natively, so changing to Enterprise would be quick and painless.

>>101417358
If you want to stay on 10 for as long as possible then IoT LTSC 2021 is your best bet.

>>101417337
If you're planning on installing Enterprise anyway you could just use an Enterprise ISO. You can download the Business ISO from Massgrave or create one yourself using the Media Creation Tool with a command.
>>101417382
This is true but if he wants to play the few games that don't work on LTSC he's kinda fucked.

>>101417369
>>101417382
I see. I think LTSC would probably be my choice then. Would i be able to change w10 pro to LTSC 2021 on the fly too with MAS? And turning of telemtry and bloatware works on LTSC too correct?

>>101417427
No, LTSC is its own branch and can't be changed to via edition changing from a mainline edition. If you want it then download an IoT LTSC 2021 ISO from massgrave and clean wipe the Pro install and re-install it.

>>101417427
Nope Pro can only switch to other consumer editions, Enterprise and IoT Enterprise. You have to download the (IoT) LTSC ISO from Massgrave. LTSC can only switch between LTSC and IoT LTSC.

Hmm alright. Ill be honest i will probably just use w10 or enterprise then. Im happy i found out how to activate it with MAS so i can save 80 bucks atleast. Im just someone who turns on the PC after work to play some games or watch movies and i dont know a lot tech stuff so i have been pushing the whole getting a new PC and dealing with all the installation and setting it up shit away but now i wanna get throught with it. Thanks for your help

>>101417497
At least just changing your 10 Pro install into a 10 Enterprise one will help you out with controlling what your computer does in the long run. I recommend downloading the tool ShutUp10 to mass disable all sorts of annoying shit that the OS does.

Oh and if i use MAS for activation, i definitely wont run into trouble down the road? Like i wont get a message in a couple years telling me invalid key or something like that?

>>101417513
No, you won't. HWID activation via MAS is basically the closest you can get to official activation you don't pay for.

>>101417511
>>101417525
I wrote down that tools name. Ive been using W7 for basically my whole life and as long as i could before being forced on W10 and i tried turning off all the bloatware and uninstalled things like edge, cortana etc but whenever i had windows updates it came back and eventually i gave up. Will definitely try to minimize that with my new PC. Thanks a lot

I know somebody already answered this but JPEGView (sylikc fork), Nomacs, qimgv are all pretty good for this. I prefer JPEGView because I really like the options it provides but Nomacs is a close second.

Do you guys ever create Start Menu folders when installing software using installers?

>>101418295
I never really use the Start menu so no. I just press the Windows key and search for it.

>>101418319
Sometimes they never give you an option to not create a start menu folder, though you can change the directory. Dunno if removing those folders afterwards changes anything, whether there's any junk in the registry that'll still be left and that sort of thing.

is archive.org a good source for old windows (95, 98, XP) or are they dangerous?

i was tasked to take care of defender flagging cracked .dlls on a legit W10 but despite my efforts it keeps persisting. any definitive guide to kill it permanently?
tried control panel, services and registry

>>101411401
i still have the laptop (W7 and office 2010 that came with it) so can you spoonfeed me a bit more about the process? i make a MS e-mail and account, go to their site using my old laptop (if it still starts), then what?
i never activated anything on there it was a mass purchase from uni and everything was preinstalled and i only had to press on the start button and that was it
yeah i'm really not great with computers in case that wasn't obvious
thanks for the reply tough

Why does Office 2007 not create desktop shortcuts by default after installation?

>>101418962
>any definitive guide to kill it permanently?
You would have to turn off defender, as it is constantly updated, it will be updated with new detections so any definitive guide would be outdated with enough time

Fellow Windows brethern, anyone has foolproof instructions on how to activate a copy of MS Office on Mac?

>opendirectory.luzea.de
this shit is down
where else can i get clean windows 7 ISOs?

>>101411401
>>101418970
wait, the PC serial number i know where to find, i think. so i just make an account, enter the serial number, and it automatically knows there's an activated version of office linked to it or is there more to it?

>>101418962
Can't you just set an exception for the files?

>>101411029
Newer editions can just be cracked with MAS.

>>101421298
yes i know but i'm too paranoid and incompetent for that.
and i have legit open office on my old computer but like i said i have no clue how to tie that to a microsoft account, or what or where it came from because someone else did it for me. my first OOBE literally happened around half a year ago
back then i could have started excel literally 15 seconds after pressing the start button for my first time after picking it up from the computer department. perhaps i should mention the old one was in use for nearly 14 years and i'm a 30+ year old boomer
dell is good

>>101416213
While those CPUs still benefit from enhanced Win11 schedulers because its managing a relative fuckload of cores once you get past one CCD, its not nearly as complex as a 7950X all the cores are homogeneous, same potential clock speeds, same cache etc. So yeah,I'd take W11 even if not strictly necessary, but its not as complex and you likely don't have to worry about stuff like Xbox Game Bar or the like. Its just a less complex situation I gather - you should be fine more or less with any Win11 version overall.

>>101419018
after some tinkering one would think that the defender got turned off but it keeps "protecting". some process maybe?
>>101421256
it refuses to do so

>>101418962
>install any av
>defender disables itself
