>*Recall bloat
that's only for the few ARM-powered Microsoft laptops/tablets, which will likely be another of Microsoft's commercial flops, and consist of less than 1% of the W11 userbase
We've had a number of anons after the announcement coming here and expressing worry over a feature that will likely never affect them due to not having the right hardware for it.

Windows 8 alienated the user base with metro UI and tablet-esque UX shoehorned in. Is this next stage of Wi does 11 going to alienate the majority again to try and prioritize arm and AI?

Can I have sex with shamiko if I use windows?

>>101529842
Shamiko is for teasing and head pats not seggs

>>101529374
Also because businesses got angry at MS over it they recalled it (lol) and are making it that the data isn't just sitting on your computer in plain text (now encrypted) and it's now an opt-in feature. Always rely on enterprise customers to actually get MS to back up on shit.

>>101529763
>try and prioritize arm and AI?
ARM? Most likely.
AI? Not if their pointless Copilot PCs flop, which I expect.

Why would ARM "alienate the majority?"

>>101530324
>Always rely on enterprise customers to actually get MS to back up on shit.
Which they are not so reliable on. And their priorities and uses of Windows differ from the rest of us. On the other hand, big screw ups like Clownstrike affect them and not us.

>>101530330
He is talking about the Arm.

has anyone had BSoDs on Win10 IoT for a Kmode_Exception_Not_Handled caused by tcpip.sys, seems to happen at random about once a day?

Apprently has something to do with faulty network drivers

>>101531003
dame desu

so after a fresh install what to do
i typically just run shutup10, install dnscrypt-proxy with my custom blocks since everytime i have tried hostfile the pc dies and dont have a custom router, disable core isolation for gaming boost or just virtualization in bios, scoop for mpv ffmpg yt-dlp and gallery dl, every coomer should have these, everything search idk

>>101531437
First thing I do is run ShutUp10 on my non-connected install then restart and connect so Windows Update can get whatever cumulative update it needs plus whatever drivers it can find. Then it's mostly just a case of installing a web browser and getting that all ready then I think about installing shit like a real graphics driver and other shit like the .NET desktop runtime and the VCRedist AIO. Then just usual program installing for whatever I need IE mpv for video etc.

>>101531463
>.NET desktop runtime and the VCRedist AIO
There was a github with all of these auto installer but I cannot find it, it downloaded every single one.

>>101531479
I'm talking of the VCRedist AIO by abbodi. Basically contains literally any VCRedist you'd ever need.
For the .NET desktop runtime I just go to the .NET website and get the latest LTS version, which is 8.x currently.

That is what I was suspecting too, I am trying to figure it out for a mate, The wifi chipset is a RZ616 which according to google is just a rebranded mediatek mt7922. Its in a MSI motherboard which makes me suspect its the MSI wifi drivers, So I have told him to uninstall them for now. Will see what happens.

>>101531551
Yeah, try uninstalling the wifi driver and seeing if WU is able to download you a new one after plugging an ethernet cord into it.

>>101531437
So, is dnscrypt essential? I have never bothered. Maybe I should but not really sure what it needs.

>>101531575
Anon most likely installs it because he wants to use DNS-over-HTTPS system wide on his 10 system, which can't do that natively. It's not essential IMO, but it's an idea.
Shit like Firefox already has built-in DoH that can use any server you want which is where like 80% of net connections come from.

>>101531575
Not really, I just have that to block sites bya DNS computer wide, for example, when I download the League Tracker and Warframe Tracker for desktop they come with ads, with my custom blocklist these ads no longer show.
This one,adware + malware, also use Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS (DoH) systemwide:

Do I take the default customization for my install or uncheck everything? Curious if there's any chances of a buggy install with this.

>>101532005
These options are just something that can be achieved through unattended.xml files, stuff like changing registry entries or running scripts to add users etc.
Personally I do the first two options then the privacy questions and Bitlocker one.

>>101532018
That's what I thought, I can just slap ShutUp10++ and customize that in seconds without messing with the install itself. Guess I'll do first two by default and hopefully don't run into any issues.

>>101532035
Yeah, running ShutUp10 is the first thing I do when I get to my desktop. Make sure to install it offline as well until after you run it.

>>101532051
Can I put that exe in a folder on the same USB as my install or do I need to reformat?

>>101532067
In the Rufus'd USB? Yeah you can just make another folder and put it in there. The Windows installer won't get shitty over there being a new folder. People do shit like put the RST driver or a network driver for the mobo you're about to install to if the generic net driver that comes with the ISO doesn't include anything for it, pretty rare though. And a Ethernet to USB device helps with that anyway with its on-board driver.

im tempted to install windows 11 iot ltsc on a laptop from 2015 with an HDD

>>101532693
It'll work, but it might be a bit slow. Though still usable at least.
Just make sure to run ShutUp10 on it and disable the search indexer.

How do I install windows11 from Arch linux? Do I just go to
>https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
>download the .iso
>make a bootable usb
>install and wipe everything
or will my pc get fucked or something?
Before installing arch my pc had a copy of win11 if that matters.

>>101532855
If you want to create a bootable Windows USB on Linux it would be easiest to use Ventoy.
All the other methods like dd or other Linux boot USB makers don't make them properly and end up in "driver needed" loops you can't get out of.
You can also make it manually via a bit of a process involving mounting the ISO and copying files over to a FAT32 USB while using wimlib to split the install.wim file in two so it fits in the FAT32 limits, but Ventoy is easier as it's just flash the USB, put the ISO on it, boot into the USB and boot into the ISO.

>>101532709
windows 10 drivers should just work on windows 11 right?

>>101532902
WU will just pick out the drivers your laptop will be fine with using.

Do you think they will ever abandon the win32 api in like windows 12 and try to force everyone to update? It’s been around for decades and I feel like I could see Microsoft doing something retarded and trying to make a new ABI. I hear they are using rust now? So it could be possible

>>101531818

>>101533419
Either that or install winget through winget-install

Shamiko, yo! Now is the time to install Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC on Momo's old laptop!

>>101533195
Wouldn't happen, I suspect most of the money Microsoft makes from Windows is licenses from commercial customers, and all their customers are running ancient Windows software. Dropping Win32 would piss them all off to the point that the WINE project would very suddenly get many sponsors.
Also why the fuck would they do that? Like, what does your imaginary psycho Microsoft plan on replacing it with? You think they're just going to shaft everyone for lulz?

>>101533581
What percentage of their enterprise clients rely on the apis? How much money do they really make from windows licenses, over office, SQL server, Azure, etc… I’m not saying it’ll happen, but I could see a shift in the next couple of versions.

>>101533614
101%

>>101533481
so its the same as the 10 iot, no desktop web search, no widgets, etc?

>>101533614
Literally all of them use the apis, and a large portion of them use ancient software. I presume you saw that article where an airline was still using WfW 3.11? Yeah, lots of their customers are using 25 or even 30 year old software
How much money does Windows make? I dunno, but corporate customers are very serious about paying for licenses. I don't mean the computer Sneed uses to run his cash register, but rather the many workstations and servers Chuck's Inc uses accross their hundred locations. Plus MS is very anal about server licenses, so if you need a Windows server for anything you're probably running hyper-v for virtualization, plus if you're using office 365 or azure whatever you've also got a Windows server for AD, then you might as well buy Dell's for your wagies because they come with Windows etc etc it goes on. They make more money than you think, you don't notice because personal users are mainly used to squeeze out ad money.
Also azure and stuff are managed by different departments, and as long as the Windows department makes money who care what they do?

>>101533699
Yes it's pretty much just 2021 with an 11 backend

>>101533751
And I mean MS as a company has like trillions of dollars. They really aren't looking for quarters under the cushions currently.

>>101527242
Well I completely remade the EFI partition because there *was* corruption, I just did part of the process wrong, I think.

what's the best place to learn cmd or powershell?

>>101534680
ss64 and tinker, atleast for cmd. Windows Batch is really easy and you can learn it with some tinkering and playing around in a few minutes because it only has a few commands, but some of them (like if and for) are pretty deep. Chances are you don't need it to it's fullest though, at that point you should be using python or something. You'll feel it's limits if youu try to do something really complex.
Powershell? Fuck me, I dunno. ss64 has a powershell reference too but I fucking hate powershell and OOP and .net so I avoid it like the plauge.

>an airline was still using WfW 3.11
as a backup solution when their main systems fail, autisticus maximus
They main modern Windows, which is why Clownstrike's incompetence affected them.
Wrong kind of example to bring up.

We just had an example posted of a company actually using outdated Windows as their main OS software: >>101500170
That 3.11-using airline relies on modern Windows first, 3.11 as an emergency backup. Much smarter than all the businesses that got screwed and did not have backup systems at all.

>>101534906
Wrong thread, and I doubt it without being far more expensive and bulky.

>>101534870
Yeah but their software still ran on it, lmao. That means they need win32, which is what the discussion was about.

>>101534977
And it all goes around to Microsoft deprecating/removing Win32 being an incredibly dim idea.

>>101534977
No, the discussion was questioning how much Microsoft is really making from Windows through enterprise customers. That airline has spent big on modern Windows. Bringing up that they had 3.11 in reserve as a backup is literally not an argument in favor of denouncing how much MS makes on modern Windows enterprise customers.

few months ago there used to be a tutorial that listed stuff in gpedit and task scheduler that should be disabled. now there's only mention of Private Secure Windows
does it take care of all the troublesome services and scheduled tasks?

>>101535016
The private-secure-windows script disables services/tasks outlined in MS's own guides about enterprise privacy on their MS Learn blog.

>>101535015
No esl tard, anon was floating a hypothetical reality where MS drops win32. I was saying that was fucking stupid because enterprise customers, what I suspect to be the bulk of revenue from Windows, regularly use absolutely ancient software.

>>101535026
so basically Microsoft put spyware in Windows and then released an official guide on how to remove it?

>>101535081
The spyware is more so for consumers. The Enterprise/Education versions of Windows allow you to pretty much disable all of it, with MS releasing said guides for enterprise IT.

nigga i don't care about python or programming. I just want to be able to use my OS better. cli comes in handy when your OS shits itself

>>101536513
then learn cmd with ss64 or try (fail) to read Microsoft's PS docs. It really would do you good to learn an actual scripting language if you want to use your OS better though, otherwise you're doomed to be a computer midwit. Also I seriously doubt cmd or ps will help when your computer shits itself that hard, windows is designed to be interacted with using a gui. Even if you installed server core it still has some gui bits.

so i gave my dad my old gaming pc and he hasn't touched it for years
he finally started using it recently but it's been having these weird "pseudo-freezing" issues and i'm genuinely stumped as to what's causing it
i want to believe it's a windows issue but i've tried reinstalling multiple times to no avail
basically the interface will lock up randomly, this usually lasts for a minute or less but the mouse works and content onscreen still continues to render
let's say he's playing bg3, and a character takes an action in battle - the game logic will lock up and nothing will happen for a minute or so, the interface becomes unresponsive as if the game was frozen, but the graphics continue to render animated effects and such and the mouse can be moved, it's just the game logic itself that freezes
or even during normal usage of windows itself the whole interface stops responding and the image freezes but the mouse can still be moved
any ideas what could be causing this? is it a windows issue? imminent ssd failure? clearly something's broken but i've no idea what and searching doesn't yield any helpful results
he's supposedly already ran a memory test that showed no issues but i'll try confirming that myself at some point
i7-6700k, gtx 1080 if that matters

>>101537820
how much RAM does it have? this kinda sounds like a pagefile churn issue

>>101536936
>install windows to ssd

>>101538244
16gb so not much compared to my current 64gb pc
but should still be enough for basic windows use without freezing, my thinkpad also has 16gb and i've never had issues there
i'll have to check the pagefile but it should just be on default settings atm

>>101535026
>disables services/tasks
thought it was just group policies

>>101539135
you'll need to hunt down what service is doing that to the system, Task Manager and Event Viewer are your friends, and if you still cannot figure it out, try Nirsoft utilities, bunch of free tools that can come in handy in a variety of situations.

Is there a way to make the date/clock on the system be permanent even after reboot? Meaning, it won't change the clock based on the bios, completely ignoring whatever changes happen in the battery and it will basically just save whatever was the last boot date/time.
I don't intend to connect this system to the internet.

>>101539623

>>101539623
Just make a .bat file and run it every startup.

Can a couple of you guys post your

bcdedit /v

output to compare to mine? Also, does anyone know if it matters which volume your EFI is? like if it's volume2 will it not work right?
(I'm >>101525578 still troubleshooting a boot issue, can manually boot from F12 boot menu but if I don't do anything it says no bootable disks on a cold boot)
Lastly if the volume *does* matter, how do I go about "moving" my EFI to be the first one on the disk?

>>101539759
the point is to also save the last date and time, unless you mean making the shutdown process trigger a.bat file that saves time and then another .bat file that uses whatever the former saved, which sure, I could probably manage something but I'm checking options before attempting to waste time making something myself

You know, the best virus are the ones that are invisible, only take like 10% of resources and offer your zombie infected pc to others as a service to send spam, proxy others connections and steal credentials. Yous sound like someone that could use idra to debug other people's software and confirm if they are infected or not, or probably just a retard who doesn't see a popup cmd window and think his system is clean.
But hey a simple upload of any setup file to virustotal would confirm your supposed "legit" files, you should at least do it once in your life, specially adobe software and the setup inside packages folder

>>101544795
Yes, that is a problem when things like the scheduler update that allowed the recent heterogeneous core CPUs to work better was part of a feature update originally. I get them not forcing you to update anything except security, but it should be available in an easy to use selection of optional updates to merge in the case something useful came along.

>>101545120

I know what thread we're in, but you should seriously consider installing GNU/Linux.

>>101545495
That doesn't stop nearly everyone including MAS from suggesting Enterprise LTSC IoT etc. I see it has some benefits in that its "clean" of a lot of other potential bloat, but it seems odd that even the non IoT version (just Enterprise LTSC) has less bloat too, but the whole "long term service contract" stability shouldn't mean lacking features, but choosing which of them to update as the admins wish. Its annoying as fuck to either have to pick the bloaty Pro or even Enterprise to get feature updates (but have them forced on you) or go Enterprise LTSC or LTSC IoT to have less bloat, but also nothing except security updates apparently.

>>101545549
Those are retards who won't stop asking when will the next ltsc version drop because they are 3 years behind on features when it only takes like 2 minutes to clean a normal version from preinstalled crap, hell if you select "English (World)" at install time you don't get any preinstalled bloat fromnthird parties and you can change back that region after install.

Severe CPU hog for me, and it has no damn cap. Despite the praise I've seen it get here, it has never detected anything in all the time it has existed since earlier versions of Windows. Malwarebytes has been my go-to and saved my butt once during Vista days, and it otherwise just detects false positives all the time.
I'm not even using much in the way of pirated software or games that even triggers Malwarebytes at all these days.

On laptops with W10 or W11, disabling Defender gives an exponential boost in battery life. I cannot see Defender as being worth my time, other than disabling it in regedit/gpedit after turning off Tamper Protection.

Yes, it'll stay frozen on 24H2

i dont know if its overheating or the ram is dying
but my laptop freezes and then reboots
its very weird because i was using linux for a while and it was fine, i came back to windows 10 and it started happening too often

At install of Win11, is there any way to check what hardware device you'd be installing on by name? I have 3 SSDs that are all 2TB so having shit like
>Device 0 free space 2TB
>Device 1 free space 2TB
>Device 2 free space 2 TB
isn't much fucking help considering one of them I was able to update to the latest firmware (a Samsung 990 Pro) with a supplied ISO that I used the suggested unetbootin (and/or Rufus) to write to a bootableUSB , but the other two (a 980 Pro and 870 EVO )Samsung's supplied image didn't boot even on legacy mode, booted but didn't detect fucking my keyboard so I got no farther than "press any key to continue" etc.

So I want to install on the 990 Pro, but the usual partitioning dialog doesn't seem to specify what hardware its seeing. Is there some option to get it to do so? I'd really like to not take a chance an that it writes anything to the non-updated drives in case they have that AIDS-laden firmware from a couple years ago etc.

>>101546555
Select each disk and then run "detail disk."
Will list out info for the selected disk.

>>101546570
I mean in the shift+f10 cmd while in diskpart

>>101546504
ok i think i know the issue
its the amd driver version im using

>>101546210
smartscreen?
That's a non-issue, the main Defender realtime scanner is the CPU hog slows down any computer.

>>101546570
>>101546580
Huh? As I boot the installer, it basically goes through the basic steps (ie put in product key if you've got it, pick language and keyboard layout etc) and gets to the partitioning bit where you have to pick a drive ( just listed as device 0, 1, 2.. 3 is obviously the 16GB USB drive I'm using to install the thing etc). Pick a drive for install , it comes prefabbed with max size and then just creates the 3 main partitions (ie the bootloader, the reserved tiny bit, and then main partition). Alternately there are buttons to delete existing partitions, repopulate what's available, load drivers , create additional partitions on whatever device you're currently highlighting etc.

I didnt' see "detail disk" at the time, but I'll check. If yo're talking shift+F10 I just wanted to make sure it isn't something that only comes up once you've already installed the OS and are fucking around in the bootloader and then yeah (at least with W10) you could spawn diskpart independently, like repair and other stuff. However given I've not installed yet and don't want to do so and risk it going onto an AIDS firmware, I can't get to that. Or is there a detail disk I can get to from that standard install process device selection/partitioning?

>>101546697
Yes that's what I mean. When you're inside a Windows boot USB setup you can invoke a command prompt with Shift+F10 and run whatever you please, like diskpart.
When inside diskpart you can just "select disk 0/1/2/3" then run "detail disk" and it'll say exactly what each disk is so you know which one is actually the one you want to install to. This shit's invaluable when you're installing Windows to a computer with many hard drives.

>>101546580
NTA as far as I am diskpart cannot give you the model number, if you know the name of a given partition though, you can `list volume` instead of list disk to get the labels

>I'd really like to not take a chance an that it writes anything to the non-updated drives in case they have that AIDS-laden firmware from a couple years ago etc.
I feel like it would have taken you less than 20 minutes to just unplug the drives and install on the correct drive

>>101546727
Okay, thanks Anon that helps. Will try it. Kind of odd they don't have it built in to the installer like any of the other partitioning tools . They've still got old WinXP-era clickable "load driver" options at that step (I remember having to put in a RAID card floppy disk driver util back in the day or else it wouldn't be detected. Same for certain early SSDs ) but they don't just have something to click on and say which device is highlighted.

>>101546795
The 24H2 installer actually changed the UI and it now looks like the setup when you run the setup.exe of a mounted Windows ISO. Still doesn't have the kind of things that diskpart can do normally though.
Like it would be best if there was a graphical button for diskpart's "clean" command instead of just deleting all the partitions because it doesn't truly clean the drive and leaves stray crap that diskpart's "clean" doesn't.

>>101546812
so i assume diskpart clean deletes the partition table like wipefs does on linux

>>101546838
Yeah it wipes every kind of partition/formatting on the disk. The Windows installer likes installing to drives that've been cleaned like this.

>>101546742
I thought that much like the BIOS/UEFI it may have been able to spit out the device name or something. My BIOS/UEFI can clearly identify the size, make and model if I go look at PCI-E devices, even though they don't have any partitions on them
>Just take it apart, disconnect all the others.
That would be my backup choice,but considering that the SSDs are mounted in a composite PCB slotted into a custom DIMM thing with heatsinks that need to be unscrewed, thermal pads to unstick etc... I'd like to avoid having to take the thing apart again if not necessary. Pic related. Its actually a neat, pretty well made device (heatsink seems decent on both sides, can hold up to 2 22110 M.2 drives one Gen5 one Gen4, neither fuck with the lanes of anything else on the board etc) but just a bit of effort to disassemble.

>>101546812
>242H
Yeah thats what I'm using so far, I've got both the ISO for Enterprise LTSC / IoT LTSC , and the one for standard Enterprise / IoT etc. and it goes right into the setup.exe style as you mention.
>deleting partitions doesn't clean up the crap?
Really? So if I let it basically selected which let it create a default 3 partition set on Device 0, then realized that it wasn't going to tell me which device was which, so I used the options to delete all those partitions before I rebooted to get out of the installer. Is there some sort of cruft left even if it appears to that installer that its back to the starting parameter (ie no volumes, just showing device 0 and its size etc)?

The cruft that's left is mainly old partitioning info that Windows can get pissy about, which is why diskpart cleaning is recommended.

any version of Winhoes:

1. Go to [OS drive]\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft

2. Delete Edge and EdgeCore folders

Done. Simple as that.

There's a little bit of files in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge, but otherwise, it is dead and broken with a couple folder deletions and you can forget about it unless you reinstall Winhoes.
I recommend leaving the other folders that are in that folder containing Edge and EdgeCore together, they are used by other parts of the OS, but you can delete them if you really insist, I don't remember what stuff it breaks except Outlook right now. But deleting Edge and EdgeCore in Program Files x86 kills Edge for good, period. Windows Update will not fix it.

Anons... I'm lazy, how do I automatically update portable programs? Is there a program for that? Or do I have to update them manually? Do I have to get off my lazy ass?

>>101555154
scoop

>>101555154
sometimes they have an update function built in, other times you'll have to manually do it

>Win11 Enterprise GAC/standard vs LTSC
My understanding is that LTSC gets NO feature updates at all, but an entirely new version of LTSC arrives (which has to be manually installed? not sure if you can update from LTSC 232H to 242H etc) and some of those have some feature updates, like the enhanced schedulers.

Some anons keep saying LTSC branches (including IOT) are the way to go (including the OP paste) , but given you don't even get the option to install feature updates on the admins's choice (how I think they should have done LTSC - all the same stuff, but everything is optional with different channels of what gets into what similar to Debian Stable, Testing, Sid/Unstable etc and admins can choose what they like, with features in testing/unstable equivalent to those in the GAC/general Enterprise/Pro etc..track) but others are saying its easier to just get GAC release like standard Enterprise and debloat/uninstall what you don't need?

This was helpful, invoking Shift-F10 for CLI window and then diskpart. Though I had to figure out you had to specifically
>select disk 0
or whatever before you could do anything and then
>detail disk
as opposed to trying to write
>detail disk 0
or something else that failed syntax wise.

I found out that had I gone through with it on Disk 0 I would have been fucked, for some reason it turns out to be
>Disk 0 = Samsung 870 2TB SATA SSD (firmware not yet updated, maybe pozzed)
This is attached to whatever random Sata6G_2 or whatever port is on the mobo
>Disk 1 = Samsung 980 Pro 2TB PCI-E SSD (firmware not updated, maybe pozzed)
This is on the back of the pictured ROG Gen-Z.2 card in the Gen4 M.2 slot
>Disk 2 = Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PCI-E SSD (firmware updated, verified AIDS free)
Which was on the front Gen5 slot of the ROG Gen Z.2 card.
Considering that definitely the SATA ports and I am pretty sure the Gen4 slot on the back of that Z.2 card are both chipset lanes, I thought that at very least the Gen5 M.2 (which I think is using CPU lanes) would be listed first but apparently not, Windows! Fuck. Anyway, thanks anon. It was helpful so far. Now to install Windows (at least some version - anyone have advice for a utility or something FOSS for de-bloating a standard Win11 Enterprise as opposed to LTSC / LTSC IoT? )and then finish overclocking/performance tweaking, as well as trying to use Samsung Magician to update the firmware on the other two SSDs

Why are AMDGPU drivers such shit on windows? They would work flawlessly on the first install but the next day they would just crash whenever I open an electron-based app or something.

>>101562752
Have you tried using RadeonSoftwareSlimmer to cut the cruft out of the driver package so less shit could go wrong

>>101562752
there's certain settings in the driver that are bad
generally keep things on AMD optimized and let the GPU handle monitor scaling
i know for a fact that 10 bit color depth is really bad
i would also avoid radeon boost/chill or whatever those settings were
anti-lag was stable enough iirc
i think you might want to turn off the driver error detection setting? iirc this just causes eager resetting of the GPU, meaning there's some places where it'll think there was a driver timeout when there really wasn't

>Why are AMDGPU drivers such shit on windows?
you've got basically no choice but to use a software stack amd maintains on windows compared to linux where the only AMD maintained parts you have to use are the two bits that talk to the kernel
no one uses the AMD software stack on linux, everyone uses the mesa software stack
did recently see a mesa fork that ported RADV to windows somehow

>>101562833
removing runtime dlls that the drivers aren't using and removing apps like noise cancellation isn't going to suddenly make the drivers more stable, just save disk space
you want to route API calls through the most stable parts of the drivers, which is why i would also recommend using zink (OpenGL-on-Vulkan), dxvk, and vkd3d-proton wherever possible so shit's running on top of the vulkan user mode driver (not always easily possible without some dll redirection hacks like .local files, modern unreal games in particular have issues with dx12 redirection)

I just remembered that the old NV GTX 1070 I was using for a temporary GPU as I build and test a new PC, can't output at my monitor's 4K native 120hz resolution. Thus I figured maybe its time to test the iGPU in the 7950X3D which should be able to output at 4K 120hz, but I've never used an iGPU on a desktop so what kind of config does it need for the new Win11 Enterprise 242H ?

My mobo (Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme) has at least 2 USB4 ports that are marked as DisplayPort compatible but unfortunately my monitor, LG OLED C2, is HDMI only. So I bought an adapter that's male USB-C to HDMI female (and specially mentioned being HDMI 2.1 compatible, 8K 60hz HDR / VRR or 4K 120hz HDR/VRR etc) , and have an ultra high speed HDMI cable. Are there specific BIOS/UEFI settings I need to use the iGPU? What about Win11 settings?

Since I originally used an Nvidia card, it came with the Win Update version of some Nvidia driver, but it also had AMD chipset and GPU drivers. I also grabbed the latest adrenaline edition or whatever the fuck its called installer from AMD and installed it which seemed to provide both the suite of chipset drivers and the GPU drivers but at the moment of course, the GPU was the NV discrete. So once everything was installed software side, I figured I'd try swapping it - plugged in the USB-C > HDMI adapter and cable, while taking the NV 107 out of the PCI-E x16 slot so there wouldn't be any confusion of both of them at the same time. Booting up, I did get some video output for a second with the icon and (press key for bios) sort of thing, but then when it loaded into Windows booting up should be, no signal on the monitor. So something went to hell I'm guessing. I'll boot it up again and make sure I can get into the BIOS and everything stays visible at UEFI settings etc..but I am guessing that despite having the AMD GPU and chipset drivers, Win11 still shit the bed as it was expecting that NV card from before?

Strange its blocking Brave, being Chromium based. Its probably one or more of your adblockers or other privacy style addons or features - I know the same thing happened on Firefox to me. Some of it isn't even really a simple fix, much like captcha bullshit or cloudflare turnstile repeating forever, some of it is on them Try turning off some of your blockers both addon and built in stuff, then purge your cookies and other data for Twitch related domains and see what happens.

If none of this works, you can attempt to use a number of frontends like SafeTwitch or Twineo (which are kind of like Invidious/Piped is to YouTube). I suggest the addon called LibRedirect (for Firefox as well as Chrome/ium based browsers like Brave) which is FOSS and has a fuckload of potential instances to try for varying privacy frontends.

Okay, seems its working now...but there's an overscan/underscan issue I think - its kind of like the picture is too "zoomed in" and icons on the edge of the desktop are cutoff etc. Anyone know where to find an overscan/underscan option in Windows 11 itself or the AMD adrenaline driver options?

I use to use Alternative Player for a long time but the dev disappeared and the player stopped being able to block ads. Now he's seemingly come back and it works now after ages of it sitting in the dust, might look into it again.

i used it for the short duration there were no adblock updates for streamlink and simply never bothered uninstalling since i never visit the site anyway. i only follow 5 streamers and ive been using the site since like 2013 or so.

The watermark for unactivated Windows, is that only on the desktop, or is it overlaid, if for example, you were playing a game or on a web browser?

>>101564440
It's overlaid over whatever you're doing. You can easily activate the system anyway with MAS so don't worry about it.

>>101561673
You are just ignorant.

Is your password like really long/complicated or something?

>>101561673
nta, but I wont update anything unless its no longer works. I dont need no more features or """security""", I just need to do my shit. I use some programs from 90's and could not care less. Most updates nowadays is pushing the subscription cuckery, cloud bs or just collect more your data. Justifying it by """"improving security"""" and shit like that.

any actual drawbacks of restoring ms store in 10 IoT LTSC? I need the calculator app and maybe some other dumb built in shit that I'm used to, never had the displeasure of using ltsc, but I won't be installing shit11 on my new build, at least not any time soon

>>101565839
Not really, as nothing is really installed UWP-wise anyway on LTSC. You could also just re-instate winget via the winget-install script from PSGallery if you want to download UWPs without needed to use the store.

>>101565865
do you have the msstore source on winget even without the store?

>>101565890
Yeah you do. Do you want instructions to install it?

>>101565897
i never installed anything from msstore on winget, does it also install dependencies?

>>101565945
everything

>>101565967
is this the script
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/winget-install/4.1.2

>>101566029
correct

>>101565945
Yes it does. I'll just give you the instructions to install it, the script also installs winget's dependencies as well
>Set-PSRepository -Name 'PSGallery' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
>Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
>Install-Script -Name winget-install -Force
>winget-install.ps1
Just run these in an admin PS instance.

I installed the Adrenaline driver using a driver-only install. I think the underlying problem is the driver itself not the bloat added on top.

>>101566346
I've never really bothered with AMD cards the past couple years anyway because they don't play with Stable Diffusion very well. NVIDIA also has NVCleanstall which is nice.

windows eleven seems alright, using it on a quad core 16gb laptop with a mobile 1650 and after five or six registry edits, it's not too terrible
shit like it not picking up and switching to headphone output automatically when plugging it in like w10 did is fuckin retarded though, requiring a click to confirm it
and not auto muting your speakers and instead playing the audio through your laptop speakers when unplugging is retarded too

I didn't use it a lot because I use ExplorerPatcher to get the old explorer but yeah it did feel a little slower to me.

Am I understanding wrong, or is the winning combination to install the the Non-IoT Enterprise LTSC ISO, uninstall edge, then install the IoT edition by adding that key?

>>101529242
Retard here, is there any reason not to install office 2021 from the yerong office tool? as in both from that source and that version? For example, is office 2019 better with windows 10? I'm upgrading from windows 7 and office 2013, so I'm super out of the loop.

>>101566346
yea these are driver settings, that's not going to help at all, that stuff's still there it's just not configurable unless you install the GUI (iirc all the corresponding registry entries are binary/obfuscated)

what i'm talking about isn't the bloat that does get installed like AMD ReLive or noise suppression, these are things like texture output format and how the GPU driver interacts with the monitor driver and resizing or the way frame presentation scheduling interacts with input polling

Do any of the Office versions listed in the pastebin contain Power BI?

Does DAZ loader work on Windows Vista?

Heyyo.... do any of the steps in https://rentry.org/windowsinstallguide do not apply to IoT LTSC 2021 like disabling updates and telemetry?

>>101568325
Yep. Also works on the server SKUs, including (interestingly enough) Windows Server 2012. Hence why it changed name from "Windows 7 Loader" to "Windows Loader" somewhere along the line.

>using Windows Vista when Windows 7 exists
For what purpose? Aren't the system requirements the same? Are the drivers even compatible between the two?

I've had an external HDD for media almost since i was a kid. Recently bought a bigger drive to replace it, what's a good program I can use to clone my drive over?

'sup anons, I'm finishing my retro build and I've been unable to install XP on it using Ventoy, should I resign myself and install using a CD? or is there a USB method to install?

Gonna build a pc very soon
Should I get windows 10 or 11? I've been using 10 on my laptop since forever so I don't know if 11 is any better

>>101570915
It is almost exactly the same, at this point it doesn't matter

is there any way other to unfuck my wifi on W10 other than reinstalling the entire OS? wifi card works on Linux just fine but earlier this afternoon I suddenly lost connection and my wifi card isn't starting on Windows, with error code 56. a quick search said I needed to reset network and it should work again but now even my 2 ethernet ports don't work anymore and when I connect my phone in USB tethering it's not detected either, so something on the OS's side is majorly fucked up it seems (since again, everything is working on Linux where I'm posting from rn)
I'm not gonna have to reinstall, am I?

>>101571575
i've seen that happen several times due to problematic windows security updates
if you figure out which one (look up the KB numbers) you should be able to go into the settings and uninstall it temporarily
it'll eventually reinstall so you might need to uninstall it again until they roll out a fix

>>101571859
didn't work unfortunately. the only security update that had been installed somewhat recently (july 16) failed to uninstall after a restart
fuck it, I'll just backup my shit and install LTSC or something tomorrow. not my main OS but I wish I could get rid of it sometimes

anyone here uses bing wallpaper?
i want something that changes my wallpaper daily

>>101570915
if your hardware supports win 11, go with win 11. the end of life date is coming around soon to win 10

1. I would argue by EOL it is clear he is referring to the date microsoft is going to stop supporting it,
2. His post is amount to "time moves forward" your post doesn't refute this in anyway whatsoever, even if Windows 10 doesn't die until 2030, a day is a day is a day, we are still going in the same direction

>>101570659
I'm guessing the Ventoy was partitioned as MBR with FAT32 partitioning? If it didn't load this way then a CD burnt ISO is most likely your best bet.

>>101574137
>(((((((((((((Ventoy))))))))))

>>101574137
>MBR
>2024

>>101574561
What's wrong with MBR?

>>101574561
Did you not read the original post? Anon is installing XP on a retro PC so naturally that would require MBR.

>>101573623
Microsoft isn't going to stop supporting it until 2032 at the absolute earliest, not even getting into ESU that's almost guaranteed to happen.

>>101574672
It's like with 7 really. Programs only started to stop supporting 7 (and 8.1) around the time of 7's ESU updates drying up. So for 10 it should pretty much be the same deal with its own ESU updates making 10 stop being fully supported around 2032.

>>101574708
10 is new territory since they tried the rolling release shit with it, but then also made a standard classic cycle release and called it LTSC
first windows that's going to be supported for 18 years instead of the old 10 years cycle

>>101574812
should have 2 more chances for a new windows that won't be garbage now that they're back on the 10 year edition every 3 years classic cycle now

Wait for at least a couple posts before bump limit at least instead of like 8 posts until.

what did he mean by this

>>101575045
Making a new thread when the last thread has been at bump limit for a bit is very normal, anon.

>>101575045
He wants to be a janny and do it for free, but doesn't even have the tiny sliver of recognition of being a janny, just the hope of doing it for free.

>>101575057
Some generals make it before limit like fwt OP, some make it once the general hits page9 after hitting limit hours ago like csg, it really doesnt matter either way.

>>101575067
I'm not trying to be a "janny" anon. OP obviously just wants to be the guy that always makes the /fwt/ OP so he makes it early. That simple.

I might have to reinstall my windows soon. I've ben using windows 10 pro, but i hear its support is going to be dropped soon. since i don't want to deal with pirate shit, does that mean I'm forced to move to windows 11 soon?

>>101575192
Well yes anon. If you don't want to deal with "pirate shit" then you'll be needing to move to 11 at some point.

>>101575045
he does that to force the w10 recommendations in the op

>>101574137
Thanks for the response anon, as far as I'm concerned it's MBR since there's no FAT32 partition, just exFAT. It boots but craps itself with a BSOD after the initial loading of DLL's.
Will be installing using CD then.

>>101575689
IMO try again but instead of formatting it as exFAT you should try FAT32. But yes if you don't want to bother just do an ISO to CD burn.

>>101575232
so w11 pro? I kinda wanted to skip w11 and go straight to w12, but i guess we wont be getting xp to 7 , and instead this time i have to go through "vista" before I get to 7 ?

>>101575870
That'll be what you'll use if you don't want to go down other avenues.
Like you could just use the OP activator to change your edition to Enterprise if you want then re-activate it via HWID.

>>101575870
knowing how ms is handling windows I'm afraid there won't be any w7 anymore anon
