>>103296134>2012r2Is this a joke? It doesn't get updated anymore and using a server os for desktop usage is pants on head retarded.I use 2025 for a jellyfin server and 11 Pro for desktop usage, never had any problem you talk about.
>>103296158It's not worth using daily
>>103296219what
>>103296134I did this when windows server came out, it was dog shit, kys anon
>>103296134why should I when even microshit doesn't maintain it?

>>103296134I want my windows to be updated and come with helpful security fixes to protect me from hackers and other viruses online!
>gaming ability exactly the same as other Windows distrosprocess scheduling is completely different in windows serverWindows desktop will prioritize active processes over background ones. Windows server will give background processes full priority. Good luck running any CPU intensive game
>>103296799You still win, because Server uses much longer quantums. This is something freetards don't know, let alone understand.I've been using longer quantums even on client editions for decades, to very positive effect.
>>103296799How do we fix this?
>>103296854If you feel you have to hobble it down to client-tier scheduling rules, there are a couple of registry values you have to tap on.The low-IQs will tell you there's a radio button in the System control panel for this, but it doesn't do anywhere near the whole job.
>>103296134Isn't this the version of windows server that's unpatched for Eternal Blue?
>>103297002No, every Windows version since Vista (including server and embedded SKUs) has received a update.
>>103297030idk man, when I was testing mitigations for Eternal Blue the only OS I could get to be exploited was 2012 R2. Be careful.
>>103297037A great many Windows Servers are pseudo-airgapped, because they contain actual, important business data - as an aside, it's why freetards think Linux runs everything, because the only server they know of is web servers, which are Internet-facing and easy to get statistics on as a result.Anyway, I'd say this 2012R2 server you were auditing didn't have all its updates installed. Remember, it wasn't until Windows 10/Server 2016 that cumulative updates became standard: with older versions, you have to install all 500+ updates that Microsoft have pushed since the OS was released to have complete coverage, and it couldn't fill in the gaps itself because no Internet access and/or WU being disabled.
>>103297095I know I work in this space lol. The system was not updated because I was testing my own Eternal Blue mitigation. Its nice to see non-retards are still posting here.
>>103296894I wish I could figure out how to enable System Media Transport Controls. This isn't documented well.
>>103297115It's documented fine, but with its reliance on UWP, it's easy to break if your environment isn't expected. UWP apps tend to break on unrestricted administrator accounts for example, and how they break depends on your version of Windows.
