I've been using it for 2 months but I clean installed recently for ocd reasons after fucking around with my first install to the point where it just felt dirty. I really like it. It's been rock solid stable for me.

so i can just mount the 24h2 iso, run setup.exe, and click "keep all my files" and nothing bad will happen right?

>i would prefer not to use microsoft products as much as i can
are you sure Windows is the OS you want to use?

>>101424435
why winget?
and no its not the OS i want to use

>>101424456
I like winget because
- it is 1st party
- comes with the OS, which is useful when helping others or provisioning
- its apps show up in other apps, so if I want to use 'Installed Apps' section of the settings app, things winget installed will show up there, it can also uninstall apps it didn't install

I am also pretty curious about its configuration function but I haven't dug into that yet

this is so fucking annoying.. literally everytime i play a game or something and press the left shift key it randomly goes to sleep. weirdly this doesn't happen everytime i press it, but sometimes it does and i can't get my computer to turn back on without shutting it off. when it happens it says "hdmi turning off - display going to sleep" and the power is still on but i can't turn the display back on no matter what. i went in the settings to find something about this and nothing. this is so infuriating and idk how to reset it.. i've been through multiple keyboards too. can't find anything online about this

i have a windows 11 and a hp monitor and a intel core i5? idk much about tech but if someone can please help me figure out how to turn this settings off my left shift key i'd appreciate it. also my other shift key doesn't do this, but it's annoying to have to use it because the other shift key is more convenient.
it doesn't happen if im on google or my pcs just not running anything, it only really happens when im running an exe. the issue i have this happen the most with is literally any EA game or very randomly yandere simulator (judge me idc) and the computer display shuts off but everything else if i press left shift all the time nothing happens
as far as i know i don't have any viruses.. maybe some junk files and that's it. my computers pretty bare and i don't use it often
it says its going to sleep and the power is still on.. and idk if it has to do with "too much power" because fps and stuff will be fine and nothing else is wrong. also wouldn't explain why it happens when i specifically press the shift key

The reason the monthly updates are called cumulative updates is that you can just install the latest one and get the benefits of all the old updates as well.
You can get the update setup file from the MS update catalog. Just search for your feature pack along with cumulative.

Okay but I'm not going to run some sketchy activator, so I don't actually mind spending some money on a license key. Except I can't find an IoT license key to buy - the W10 Enterprise key I bought yesterday wasn't accepted by windows

>>101426499
You're only limiting yourself via not trusting a "sketchy activator" like MAS which basically everyone in here used to activate their own copies of IoT LTSC 2021 if they installed it.

>>101426531
Thank you for your comment/insight, although I did consider the amount of people using it here.
But I'm not sure how the willingness to spend a tenner or two on a activation key for some peace of mind means that I'm limiting myself...

>>101426642
Because you're spending money that you literally don't need to when using MAS is completely painless and done in less then 30 seconds after you type 1 on the keyboard at the main menu.

Well if it's a work PC then you might as well get them to pay for a key for you or ask if they have spare keys which they probably do.

Is there any downside in using the LTSC version for a gaming rig? Will I always have the latest drivers for my GPU?

W10 IOT LTSC is the same as 'Windows 10 and later GDR-DU' and 'Windows 10 LTSB' product versions right?

>>101426995
vidya can depend on shitdows updates. personally hl alyx wasnt working for me, and i couldnt update my xbone gaypad fw. i had to fuck around extensively to convert my 10 ltsc into pro just so i could install the necessary updates, you cant force update installs on ltsc afaik.

Is snappy driver installer the best driver installer?

>>101427447
It's a way to install NVIDIA drivers but with as little or as much of the bloat as you want. You could pretty much just install the driver and nothing much else and even disable any telemetry the driver may have.

>>101427451
Is there a program like it but for amd instead?

>>101427450
For general driver installation that WU can't seem to get working, yes it's pretty much the best. Always use the Origin variant of it as well, and only download the index to stop yourself from downloading tens of gigs of drivers.

>>101427459
Not as automatic, but RadeonSoftwareSlimmer exists which lets you take out as much from an AMD driver installer .exe gotten from the AMD site as you want.

If you don't have separate partitions, you will need to take care of your own backups.

Is cpuid hwmonitor actually useful or not?

>>101429980
If you need to ask then it's probably not useful to you.
For me it is because I can see how my system fares in terms of temperatures and cpu voltages.
If you want to use a computer you need to know what is happening, it's not just a black box which you can send back to warrant repair when it fails to boot one day.

I have a spare laptop that fulfills two functions. Access to devices with legacy IO and a travel laptop with no personal information on it.
I've been running xubuntu on it for a while and haven't much choice in DE since gnome, for example, runs incredibly slow on it. Win10 is completely unusable. RecenI have an old laptop that serves two purposes. The first is that it has a couple of legacy IO connections that I rarely need but is certainly nice to have when a fringe case does pop up. And the second is as a travel laptop. It's never happened before, but tourists usually don't have a right to privacy and then I can give them a computer with a fresh install and nothing saved on it.
This computer is pretty old now, I think from 2010 and it's been running mostly xubuntu for a long while now. Recently though, I've been xubuntu has been feeling slow, it failed to recognize the nvidia gpu, and xfce crashes a few times on startup. I haven't had to chance to really investigate what's going on but have had another idea, and that it to install the original factory OS back on to it. In other words use win7. I probably stopped using win7 ten years ago but was wondering how usable it actually is today. When traveling, I would just need it to be able to connect to a VPN and access various services. Just a web portal basically.
Can this be done safely? Not super interested in installing a bunch of hacks but would using a non admin account while connected to a VPN via public coffee shop wifi in a third world country be even remotely safe? I'm guessing not but an curious what other anons think.

Norma/admin account doesn't matter on windows since windows is a mess of local privilege escalation, compromise is compromise, it literally doesn't matter if you're admin if you have malware

How is microsoft Remote Desktop for gaming?

I have a work laptop (Mac) for use at home. I would like to game while doing some light work on the side. I cannot install anything new on the work laptop. However, it comes preinstalled with Windows Remote Desktop and TigerVNC. I tried using TigerVNC to connect to a linux computer for gaming, but the performance was terrible (very low frame rate / terrible compression). Allegedly RDP is a better protocol with better compression. Is that true for gaming? Or only native windows apps with normal UIs (i.e. not a directx/opengl canvas).

I'm asking (instead of trying directly) because the only windows computer I have is a Home edition, so Remote Desktop isn't included. Trying to decide if it's worth going through the hassle to upgrade.

Any anons here to who made the switch from W10 IoT LTSC to W11 IoT LTSC can share their experience? I'm still on W10, haven't touched W11 all these years, but I'm building a new PC (with a Ryzen CPU) and I'm wondering if I should install W11 from the get-go or not.

>>101438911
actually seems like the gamebar is not on the microsoft store

>>101440029
Anons have chronicled their time using the IoT LTSC 2024 ISO to upgrade their 2019 and 2021 installs and there hasn't seemed to have been any failures so far. It just seems to upgrade it to 2024 with no real issues.
In a general usability sense most seem to really like it too. Basically just 2021 but with an 11 backend and the features that brings.

>>101440029
By far the most egregious thing about W11 (the new right-click context menu) can be resolved in three steps with Windows Terminal in less than a minute. Ignore the OP ranting about UI downgrades, it's all kind of autistic shit less than 1% of users care about that you can easily fix if it annoys you so much.

Is there a way to get old windows 10 emoji set on windows 11?

I've heard many good things about the LTSC version of Windows like no ms store or bloat but now I want to know its cons.
What are the drawbacks of using Windows LTSC?

>>101441318
I guess you can have some trouble with drivers sometimes, though SDIO or your OEM support page can help with that. Also I guess a small pool of programs need 22H2 to run properly for no reason when 2021 is stuck on 21H2 (though 2024 is on 24H2 so those problems disappear if you use that.)
Besides that, LTSC is pretty much the most solid/clean way to use current Windows.
