how do i install winget on win 10 ltsc 32 bit? it seems that i can't use the usual auto install script.

And now every server PC and the like affected has to have a file removed from C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike while in Recovery or Safe Mode (specifically every file that starts with C-00000291*.sys) so the PCs stop bootlooping. What a fucking disaster lol, CrowdStrike are in the toilet.

Yeah, winget-install doesn't have a 32-bit version. You'll probably just have to re-initiate the MS Store.

Hello, I'm finally upgrading from a 2014 W8.1 laptop to a desktop, parts on their way (pic related). I have a couple questions:

1. In the massgrave link, it says that you can change editions (Enterprise LTSC from IoT to Non-IoT) just by "inserting a corresponding key". It also says that the non-IoT has uninstallable Edge and $OEM% Folder Support. So, is the right move to install the non-IoT version and then add the IoT key? or am I misreading?

2. Are there any reasons to install older LTSC versions? I remember reading a while ago that 2016 and 1709 had lower resource consumption in general, and the latter was better because it was the last one before HPET changes. I wrote it down for the future, but no clue if it's still relevant today? Thoughts?

>>101467753
MAS itself has an option in its extras menu to let you natively change between any editions the version you're currently using can change into. So if you install LTSC, you can change it to IoT LTSC in a couple keyboard presses. Though you'd obviously just use the IoT LTSC ISO in this case and install it directly. With parts this new and if you want to use LTSC, then I'd recommend using IoT LTSC 2024.
And no, there's no real reason to use older versions of LTSC unless your PC is super old I guess.

>you'd obviously just use the IoT LTSC ISO in this case
Aren't they the same ISO?

>>101467970
The LTSC ISO doesn't include IoT LTSC, but IoT LTSC includes both it and LTSC.
And if you don't want to use 11 for whatever reason then use IoT LTSC 2021 I guess. Ryzens don't have that e-core shit so it should work fine.

There's no alternative to Windows. I want to be able to use my PC for everything, I want to emulate console and mobile games, I want to play PC ports. I want to have stability. I want to have compatibility with all the software and hardware I own. I want to have freedom to customize my UI and to pirate whatever I want.

Absolutely none of that is possible in alternatives such as macOS, ChromeOS, Linux (Desktop Distributions). This autistic seethe towards microsoft from /g/ is hilarious considering how much more FREEDOM windows offers compared to literally any other proprietary OS on desktop or mobile.

Microsoft won. I love microsoft. My childhood was on windows. My first vidya was on windows. I met my gf on windows. Windows is home. The comfort of hearing that bootup sound will never be matched by anything else. Thank you microsoft, thank you united states of india, you are my greatest allies.

I turned on all the anon telemetry and optional services so that I get the best security possible and also help microsoft tailor their services to make them even better and make the world a better place for everyone.

Not sure if anyone may have encountered this issue before but I am at my wits end here.

Been having this weird problem with VSync and I cannot figure it out, I thought I had ruled out software as the cause because I finally managed to find a LGA1151 motherboard so I could then test to see if my current motherboard was faulty in some way. This is after having tested and replaced with known working parts, every other piece of hardware in and around my pc.

Now with a different and known working motherboard, this issue still persists. (See image) From top to bottom.
1-In game VSync only
2-In game VSync and in game 60fps framecap (this is the same if the framecap is at driver level e.g. Nvidia Control Panel)
3-In game VSync and RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics Server) 60fps framecap (this is my current "fix", requires RTSS running always with 60fps framecap)

So VSync can't ...sync? Unless an external program enforces a framecap? Wat.
This is not just in Cyberpunk, but almost all other games and also seems to affect youtube videos in certain web browsers if played at 720p60fps or higher with dropped video frames every 5-10seconds. The only game that I have played and that doesn't seem to be affected at all by this VSync oddity, is Need for Speed Shift 2 (and it's not because it's a DX9 game, having tested all of the API's now in multiple games and versions of windows)

All evidence now points towards software and I have already ruled out Win10 on it's own by installing Win7 the other day.
So if not the OS or programs installed (I didn't install any of my commonly used programs in W7), then the BIOS?
But I loaded defaults and the issue still persists.... I just have no idea anymore.

>-Only if you fell for the 12th+ gen Intel meme and need the new CPU scheduler
So does this mean I absolutely need this version just if I have a new intel CPU or only if I want to use the "CPU scheduler"? (I have no clue what this is)

>>101473784
If your CPU is mid range 12th gen Intel Core and above the CPU scheduler in 11 knows how to use the e-core/p-core hierarchy within the chip, while 10 doesn't know how to use it properly.

>>101473843
Does that really matter for anything beyond simple tasks? I specifically got a beefy cpu ( i7-14700K) for getting into blender and game engines and I have a general idea of how the e/p core stuff is supposed to work. Does this mean that in order to use my CPU to the fullest in those situations I NEED to get windows 11?

>>101473922
Yes. Intel and Microsoft were obviously in bed together over this.

>>101473941
Fuck me. I would've bought amd if I knew this beforehand, I don't want to use that shitty ass fucking OS holy fuck

>>101473996
You could always use IoT LTSC 2024 to have the cleanest version of 11 you can get. Easily guttable with ShutUp10 and the like as usual.

>>101473941
Okay I did some research which is...looking at one video but it seems the "unoptimized" performance of W10 isn't that impactful? i.e. in a blender render test W10 was like 6 seconds slower than running all of the same hardware but on W11. Granted, this is testing 12th gen so maybe it's possible the performance difference is even bigger on 14th gen or something but I doubt it.

I'm just gonna stick with W10. I've seen too much shit about how not just the UI being worse but general performance of the most basic shit is 100x worse on W11 for no fucking reason.

>>101470383
>schizo posting about motherboards and whatnot
Some people shouldn't use computers but game consoles...
Some games are unable to vsync when running in borderless window. This varies from game to game. I don't remember what was the case with CB2077. Valve games are like this too. Some games don't like exclusive full screen.
You could just force vsync via nvidia control panel and go from there - if vsync works properly there is zero need to limit the frame rate. You just need to take it case by case basis and consult pc gaming wiki if needed.
Most of the time I don't have any issues though.

>>101475439
Thanks.

I still love Windows :)

Syncing my settings if needed, having full access to MS windows features that might require it like some of the apps, and also having a way to recover my PC if stolen or if I forget bitlocker password. And just generally having a guaranteed safe windows activation for good.

>>101470383
Is your monitor only 60Hz?
If it isn't and your game doesn't sync, especially a demanding game like Cyberpunk, it's because your crappy GTX 1060 can reach the refresh rate of your monitor and so you stay below the vsync cap and get frame tearing.

Then once that's done I pretty much just download games and they all work perfectly. IF some game's vsync or framerate cap is fucked after all that, then you either cope with it generally just being poorly programmed or you try to bruteforce a proper lock with RTSS by setting it locked to 57 FPS if you have 60hz

>>101478240
What on earth are you talking about? Locking fps to 57 (???) won't "bruteforce a proper lock" on any level.
Just get a game console already and stop giving retarded advice.

What's the latest guide to disabling absolutely everything in W10 that isn't essential? Including internet access, but not network access? I got a cheap Windows laptop that I just want to use as a media server via a CIFS mount, so I don't want it doing anything with telemetry or anything else. Since I'm only going to be accessing it from other computers on the network, it doesn't need to be (and SHOULDN'T be) accessing the internet directly at all.

>>101478885
You should always be locking at 3fps under your freesync limit if you are aiming for perfect frametimes and don't mind the RTSS input lag. You are a retarded monkey.

I agree with the UI bits, probably only because I'm used to W10. But you can easily revert most of that (including the taskbar) to W10 style with ExplorerPatcher. Plus, use a better explorer, like Directory Opus.

12th+ Intlel CPUs with E-cores have zero benefits and are defective by design and will overvolt and kill themselves or criple themselves so bad they crash 100% of the time in certain tasks.
Just so happens they also have the requirement of W11 to fully function.
Anyone with a brain jumped ship to AMD 3 years ago or stayed on Intel 11th gen or older.

hello me save my data.

TL;DR: how to copy word documents from infected usb without risking infecting a PC?

so at work we have this PC that has some important word files (documents) that we modify and print on a daily basis. this PC is infected with a worm. we are trying to copy some files into a usb, but the moment we plug it in, it gets infected.

We managed to copy the important files on the usb, is there a way to disinfect the usb without risking infecting another pc?

I read something about Hiren BootCD, but not sure how to use it for that purpose.

also, I thought about disabling removable drives from group policy, then boot into a Linux machine from a bootable usb, then plug the infected usb, then run some Linux shenanigans to kill the virus, then copy the data into a 2nd usb, then format the infected usb... saving both the data and usb
>not sure if this would work

It's usually much easier to reuse the technologies you already developed instead of creating new ones. Basically intel is reusing 5+ year old chips and just increases their power demand which is why they tend to be so unstable

You realize that E-cores don't do anything for high performance tasks, right?

>>101496728
Disabling them causes other issues and their potential depends on the tasks at hand. AyyMD still has issues with CPU scheduler and they sell the meme 3D cache cores yet intel started the entire 'sell almost useless cores for a higher price' Jewery

>>101496715
Well any games what I want to archive are before Steam or cracked anyway.
Only problem is the fact their settings might get saved to %appdata% or something but it does not matter to me.
Even with GOG, I just install them and configure them then save an archive for my vidya storage.
I do not see any issues with these.

>>101496762
>Disabling them causes other issues
It doesn't. It just forces Windows to use your P-cores at all times so it just functions like a pre-12th gen CPU.
>>101496762
>their potential depends on the tasks at hand
E-cores are mainly used as a power saving measure, that's it. Meaning when you're browsing the internet or idling in Windows, it'll probably offload to the E-cores. There is zero performance benefit to them.

>>101496763
The OP has 2 save managers in the useful programs section hence the app data saves are not really a major issue

>b-but

Thought so. AyyMD is doing the bare minimum it's just In(c)el fucking shit up despite the fact they had a clear upper hand for over a decade

Can someone please break down the specific differences between

>W11 Enterprise
>W11 Enterprise LTSC
>W11 Enterprise LTSC IoT

For someone who has a 12th gen Intel or an AMD 3D Cache CPU (especially 2 CCD), I need Win11 for the new scheduler and maybe the Xbox Game Bar given that it seems that is how a lot of scheduling is handled (or maybe you can get around it with Process Lasso , but requires more manual shit for every fucking application or group thereof?). I'm building with a 7950X3D and plan to have Linux but also will need a Win11 OS to test some stuff and for when necessary.

I was thinking about going baseline Enterprise, so that despite having to deal with some shit like Windows Store around , it would have reasonable updates and other stuff available. LTSC means only small/security updates not feature updates right, and maybe other stuff pulled out? I Know IoT takes LTSC and cuts out even more stuff that may be considered bloat, but unless I know what all that might be I am unsure if its worth it, and of course only updates security updates not feature updates - its made not for PCs but for a fucking ATM console or POS terminal or something with everything stripped down, both the bloat and otherwise, right?

>>101481174
Floccus or xBrowserSync are both FOSS I think.

>>101496840
Go for IoT LTSC

If you use a base .iso without fucking around manually you can enable basically anything related to base Windows 11 with ease. Installing windows store takes 1 command as an example

What exact functions are you looking for anyway? Feature updates are mostly a meme because out of the box Windows literally just works. Unless you need it for something specific you will almost never notice the lack of additional features because you would have never used the vast majority of them

>7950X3D

My fucking sides

>>101496836
I don't usually care about these because archiving a game means it's not going to get reinstalled in a long time and when this happens a new start is more than ideal.
I remember I used to have 20 old HDDs at some point which were full of music and games I believe but these all went into the trash at some point in my life.
Keep it simple and concise.

>>101496989
I wiped my hoarder drives recently too and use them for more practical purposes now

They are a huge fucking liability because you will use maybe 2% of the data stored on them yet if one of them fails you will be angry for weeks because SURELY you were going to use them sooner or later lmao

>>101496840
>>W11 Enterprise

>>W11 Enterprise LTSC

>>W11 Enterprise LTSC IoT
classic windows with zero bullshit, and the full 10 years support of classic windows

I need docker engine on windows but apparently it requires WSL. Is there a way to run a daemon inside WSL on windows startup?

>>101496983
I'm still using Win10 Pro on old hardware so I'm not sure what I may be missing for instance, as I've not followed W11' twice yearly feature updates. As I recall, the Thread Director Update to the Scheduler was originally part of those updates (2H22?) so if I had LTSC or LTSC IoT its likely I wouldn't have gotten it without specifically seeking it out etc,? So if I go for any of the 3 Enterprise builds, its easy to swap between them with MAS (without affecting your data etc).
>7950X3D
Best CPU for mixed enthusiast use, both cache friendly gaming stuff and more cores being used for other workloads.

>>101497980
Swapping between base LTSC and IoT is easy though I do not recall the details of changing other Windows versions. Google should have your answers

Windows 11 LTSC is a 'leaked' build and should update normally once it officially releases. I doubt the task scheduler updates will not be included

7950X3D gets rekt in gayming by the 7800X3D and for workstations you want something much more powerful with far more cores. The market for such CPUs tends to be very niche

>>101496840
>thread scheduling hints are done by a fucking windows uwp app
the absolute state of adeesh micro devices

>>101498251
>Swapping versions
Okay, MAS seems to have this I just didn't know how far it goes
>Leaked build
I thought only IoT was leaked, all others were officially released? Anyway, yeah I know NOW the scheduler update is included, but had I been on something LTSC prior to its arrival and didnt pour over every update the standard line made, I may have missed it back then; after all, there was no need for a PoS terminal or some IoT thing to need a feature meant for latest CPUs in 2022 so that makes sense, but its still a potential issue - I just wonder what future updates there could be that I may miss out on if I don't keep aware.
>7950X3D
In most games, its equal to 7800X3D if both are using the same 8 cache cores more or less (maybe a little better performance thanks to some slight clock boosts for 7950X3D). It useful for mixed enthusiast usage, not worth paying out the ass for WRX90 or TRX80 and Threadripper if you're not going balls to the wall max cores alll the time. So you get the best of both worlds, 3d cache on games that benefit it, and solid performance for encoding or streaming or other things that can use more than 8c/16t etc.

>>101494288
I'd safely say the actual developers of games don't want the anti-cheat there, but the higher-ups were payed a fat check by the company that made it so it's there. It's like Denovo, save some first week sales from pirates while havimg the game run worse.

>>101498392
IIRC it's only the OEM versions which are only slightly different from the regular ones which should drop soon

I doubt Windows 11 will get any major feature updates since microhard is already fucking around with Windows 12. Unless you have specific workflows and are actively lurking Windows forums I doubt you will make a use of anything added after 2024 LTSC

3D cores have their own issues though. Clock speed is sacrificed for a larger cache yet the most important thing in the near future will be pure core amounts. For gaming anyway

is it possible to use windows defender without the silly performance losses or being apart of the botnet? or is my strategy of turning dcontrol off and doing the offline scan the only way

When it comes down to Win11 and the GAC vs the LTSC (or LTSC IoT), do the LTSC versions have the same stuff available where it is made available but not just part of a required/ update? Or does it not show up at all until much later / if ever? So if some new feature is included in the GAC 2H24 channel update (or smaller than that, a monthly update in October or something), does it show up at the same time as available for LTSC users if they specifically opt for it, just not included in their standard LTSC monthly security update? Or does it not show up at all until some LTSC update sometime in 2026 and can be opted in normally?

>>101501929
use Malwarebytes instead, keep Defender disabled

>>101498511

>people upgraded solely for halo 2
I would argue, there were far more users of XP and 7, than copies of Halo 2 sold

>>101501929
Uh.. is there some massive new Defender performance issue? On Win10 anyway it seems to be negligible anytime except active scanning with top priority device-wide or something. What version is giving you trouble?

>>101502026
I'm not sure Malwarebytes is any better. You'd have to have a paid version to run live monitoring that would be parallel to Defender as the free version is only on-demand scan. It doesn't use a ton of resources but its at least as heavy as Defender seems to be if not more so.

Alright, here goes.
Is there a way to see the ACL for all folders that a user or specific group has access to? Or to sort through an ACL list by picking a certain user/group in order to see what folders they have access to?
So far I only have this:
get-childitem C:\Test | get-acl | format-list
but it only shows the ACL for this one specific folder, not its subfolders
Then I tried this:
get-childitem C:\Test -Depth *3* -Recurse -filter *. | get-acl | format-list
and it shows the ACL for *3* (or more) subfolders
However, I'm a brainlet and still haven't found a method or command to see this for ONE user or user group. What's the best way to go about it? Export the data to .csv and use Excel to sort through it? Or is there a more elegant solution?

If it's not seeing any drives at all and you're using an Intel CPU, you most likely need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver loaded.
Your mobo's OEM support page probably has one you can use, but you can also download a RST installer from the Intel website and extract the drivers from there with

Pretty much peak launching/searching.

Yeah I think so. Looking through the readme closer it looks like the settings utility on the etherdisc (ooh fancy 3com proprietard branding!) only runs on DOS (fucking insane, what's the point of NT if I have to keep a DOS floppy up my ass?) but I think it all works out okay because looking closer I'm also pretty sure that the config tool is only for setting up duplex and stuff. Not worried about that, the NIC I'm hooking up to can do that stuff itself.
I screwed up because Windows wanted me to set the IP when I was installing the driver and it wouldn't let me skip, so I just told it dhcp and clicked next. After I made sure it was all kosher I had to set a static IP.
I figured it out though, instead of trying to configure the card you have to select TCP/IP Protocol from the installed network software box and configure that.

The telemetry it does have isn't something that creates a profile on you as it's all anonymized and encrypted. The devs disable all the Google-related spying from its own branch of the Chromium code as well.
So besides Brave or ungoogled-chromium, it's the best Chromium browser out there.

>consider a VM or an old laptop
I deployed my stack on bare metal already. I was just checking how feasible would be deploying on a windows environment so I could share it with people who don't have a dedicated server or who don't want to waste resources on a VM.
2/3 of my stack work as intended. WSL is simply missing the kernel modules required for wireguard to work properly apparently. The entire selling point of the stack was doing its job behind a VPN for extra security but apparently it's impossible without extra tinkering which is a shame since dockerization is all about streamlined deployment of solutions
I'll try looking more into this because the fact you can't connect to a wireguard server from a wireguard client inside WSL is too absurd to me. It's such a common task

Found out about this neat autounattend.xml generator from a channel I follow on Youtube. Seems interesting, lots of shit you can set/disable etc. Must be a boon for IT repair shop people.

Windows ADK with Deployment Tools lets you configure even more things, but this looks nice and way easier

>>101520808
Yeah this is much more quick/easy to use for the average person. I mean it's pretty great just for the fact that you can easily remove Defender through it for those that want that, plus never have to think about shit like MS accounts and auto-encryption ever again.

If I'm trying to reinstall Windows because my Surface got bricked is it fine to download the standard one or do I have to use their Surface specific one?

>>101521949
There isn't a Surface specific ISO. Windows Update will just install the drivers needed.

I have to make a huge organigram about the structures of the business I'm doing an internship at and I'm doing it with SmartArt. It was pretty easy to do but now I want it to be printable and... of course, it's to big to fit on one page. Do you have any idea what I could try?

How can I upgrade the BIOS of a Lenovo G505s with a dead battery?

I downloaded the BIOS upgrade software called winflash(3.00).exe and when I run it, the screen freezes. So, I extracted the file and found a platform.ini file which I edited to have BatteryCheck=0. Then, in the extracted files, there is InsydeFlash.exe.

When I run this, still my laptop freezes. I think this is because InsydeFlash.exe doesn't look at the modified platform.ini file. What should I do? Pic rel are the files extracted from winflash(3.00).exe

>>101522678
Yet.. Why exactly would you want to do that? If you need data from that laptop just take out the hard drive. Literally everything else is so old now you will barely boot into Windows 10 yet alone 11 and even on Windows 7 a single browser tab will rape your CPU and RAM

Is there a way to make a bootable USB from Linux? I don't have any Windows machines newer then XP and XP can't run Rufus, and I don't have any dual-layer DVDs either. Trying to set up a machine for a coworker.

woeusb/ventoy

>>101524062
Thx anon, I'll try out woeusb. I've never been able to get ventoy working, guess I'm retarded.

>>101523642
I am trying to change to linux and its easier to update the UEFI if I simply update the BIOS using windows lol

>>101524591
Are you poor or something? Even loonix will have trouble running on that hardware

>>101525027
No it won't, what are you smoking? Even Windows should be usable with 3 ghz and 4gb of ram, stop being a consoomer.

>>101465548
Ventoy or Rufus?

>>101525065
depends on the setting, like if I need to edit the EI.cfg then rufus, if I am in a job that requires me to have W10 and W11 then i'll use ventoy, for my personal machine I just use MCT

I can boot Windows by hitting F12 and selecting Windows Boot Manager, but it doesn't boot automatically. How do I fix it? bcdedit or something? No other bootable media in the computer, UEFI settings are fine.

I had a hosed boot from a power outage and I tried fixing it repeatedly with a Windows install disc. I didn't think it worked, but apparently it did and I just hadn't tried this manual boot method afterward. I'm guessing I got a drive letter wrong because I used the ones that the live environment assigned. I'm not really sure which parts I was supposed to use a different letter for, though.

>>101525061
The keyword here is 'should' because even my debloated LTSC install uses more than 4gb ram

I suggest you get a job or something and buy newer hardware

>>101525578
Probably something to do with the EFI partition. Either you can dive into the rabbit hole of fucking around with that and most likely fail or just copy the drive then wipe it and install Windows again

Make sure to disconnect all over drives though because if you do not Windows will not make the EFI partition. I learnt that the difficult way lmao

Im trying to zoom on a lower res virtual machine (720p -> zoomed to 3x or 4x, etc) and for some reason the zoom option is disabled. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

I cannot upload files to eBay in Firefox on Win10.
Anyone else have the same issue?
But on my older machine that I've been trying out Win7 on, I had no issues uploading via Supermium.

>>101525578
Have you tried resetting UEFI/bios to default settings? That sometimes gets things going for some reason, even though it looks like it shouldn't do anything. It is a common piece of advice because it sometimes Just Werkz(TM).

Otherwise, you likely have some corruption in the UEFI partition and/or boot files stuff.

Can I boot and install from a DVD i burnt the iso at?
I remember that a bootable usb stick needs a proper program to make the installer work: I tried to simply use dd(1) from a BSD to copy the iso on the usb stick and it could boot but installation kept failing...
So I wonder whether burning a dvd also needs a special tool.

>There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)

Windows Media Creation Tool gets the job done for DVDs. Alternatively, Rufus or Ventoy if via USB, we tend to recommend Rufus here.

>>101528552
It was that thanks. I can't believe it kept nagging me for something that useless

>>101525027
Lol imma coreboot it and put Artix on. I just need something to serve as a typewriter since my work involves me ssh'ing into a super computer anyways, faggot. Plus, this laptop doesn't have any backdoors put onto the hardware. I could just consoom or I could try to learn something new and have fun restoring an old laptop

>>101528411 here
Am burning from a BSD btw.
It is an DVD-R (write once) so if it fails i am fsck'd.

>>101528411
>>101528730
just make the USB stick from windows

>>101528411
You can burn DVD fine. Windows never has liked being put on USB sticks, that's why you need the special tool (I asked earlier in the thread, somebody said woeusb but that won't work on BSD). The trouble comes if your DVD isn't big enough. It's been a long time since I did it last but I think you need a dual layer (4gb I think) DVD. Should work with whatever burner you use though.

>>101529186
really? Does it download components off the net now? I swear I remember 7 or 10 pro being a dual-layer.

>>101529170
Occasionally I'll have an issue with a Rufus flash that refuses to boot, it's usually fixed with changing CSM settings because it's an older system that doesn't like UEFI even with CSM enabled.

Ventoy is exclusively UEFI with no CSM and will completely refuse to boot on a lot of older systems.

OP has ISO sizes listed

>>101527036
i assume you mean dpi scaling, i imagine you can't do that because that would effectively put windows below the minimum requirements
even if you could, things would be so large that you wouldn't be able to use most things
if you need to zoom in on something momentarily, use the screen magnifier tool instead

>>101529236
>Exclusively UEFI
That's not even true though. It defaults to MBR partitioning and if you use GPT it has a protective MBR so it loads on old computers fine.

sandisk have ones that have read 400 and writing 150 for 13 euros in amazon, another one with 380 writing but cost like 40 euros.
I would upgrade since they are not that expensive, slap ventoy on that thing and have it chilling
