Is there a way to only sign into MS outlook without it also signing into the rest of the Office suite like word, ppt, etc.
>>102208312Sign into it in your web browser
>>102208595Uhh, guess I should've prefaced it by saying not in the browser. But yeah, besides the browser, any hacky solutions to this?
What IS the best Windows media player now?
>>102203192>>GOD I love Windows!>let the thread diemakes you think
>>102209456People will say mpc-hc or VLC because they've been conditioned to say it. Truth is most people aren't very adventurous when it comes to media players and don't know about other options.Try Potplayer.
>>102208153What happened to the Shamiko /fwt/ thread?

>>102208153Dumb question but what websites would you use to flash windows iot ltsc onto a flashdrive?
>>102209456mpv, mpv.net if you need a full GUI.
>>102209620It fell off Page 10.>>102209666Use Rufus. See one of the pastebins in the OP for more information.
>>102209666The main two USB flashers are Rufus and Ventoy
>>102208258cheers
might it be worth sticking all of the op info into a single pastebin, and having that in the pcbg so some poor fellow doesn't need to mind this thread? reinstall isn't something people need to do often, but there's some real gold in the op that many people may not be aware of.
How do you install the modern Windows Calculator on an 10 LTSC Iot version?
>>102209814How about you fuck off :)
>>1022098813 seconds on Googlehttps://github.com/microsoft/calculator
>>102209881isn't the 10 version the same as 11? to me they look the same
>>102209814why not just link to fwt in pcbg
>>102209814just ask the /pcbg/ posters to link the following in their copypasta:https://boards.4chan.org/g/fwt
>>102209941disregard that, they already do lol
>>102209894
>>102209881winget-install from PSgallery? winget install "Windows Calculator" -s msstore
>>102209562i hate that mpc-hc doesnt open the videos instantly like mpvand i dont like that mpv is so barebones by defaulti might try this
>>102210916>BarebonesLike, what more do you need other then the video to be played? You can look up the mpv manual on its website to find out what kinds of hotkeys there is as well. Though if you want mpv with a right click menu with options then just use mpv.net.
>>102208153Fucking around with an old laptop with XP. Had its original install with recovery partition, so it's safely cloned for me to fuck around with, so that was a nice score. A problem I've been having though is that whenever attempting to connect to wifi, it sees the networks, but attempting to connect gives the issue in pic related, despite even being in the same room as the router.In testing with a linux live CD, it works fine on that, and in trying a USB wifi card, it too won't connect to any networks on this system, so i'm confident it's something with XP.I updated it over ethernet via legacy update, tried different drivers, and a different network adaptor and yet the issue still persists. Anyone have any advice as to what to try now?
>>102210929thats the annoying partthe documentation its not well organizedi didnt even know you could save the video position with shift+qits obviously a lot easier to configure somethign with a GUI
>>102211131Not well organized? The hotkeys are all at the top of the manual.
>>102211124XP doesn't support WPA3 authentication, which might be the issue here.
>>102211140does mpv support chapters in videos by default
can someone shill me a browser that does the following?>has ability to hide toolbars so the window is just the website >is lightweight>not chromei have a few websites that i use like apps and widgets so i want to differentiate their windows from the chrome ones on my taskbar and make them look more like stand alone apps.
>>102211146>>102211124if you passed the usb to a vmware virtual machine running a stripped linux distro for routing which is compatible you could share that router VMs connection to your host machine via virtual network adapters. so you would use the linux guest OS to scan for wifi and authenticate and then it shares that to the host. i could be wrong about some of this just thought i would share what my idea was.
>>102211279In Youtube videos I've watched the chapters are on the timeline, yeah. There's probably a hotkey that changes to each chapter as well.
>>102211330Anon these days it's either Chromium based browsers or Firefox a majority of the time.I guess there's something like Qutebrowser which is a lot more minimal but mostly uses keyboard input to get around pages.
>>102211507just not google chrome i literally want a browser with a different icon and a UI i can toggle off or only pops up if i hover some where. lightweight proffered since its just running stock charts and workout timers and shit like that.
>>102211527Vivaldi I guess? There's not really many web engines out there these days that're actively developed still. You got either Blink (Chromium), Gecko (Firefox), WebKit (Safari), or Goanna (Pale Moon).Vivaldi is basically 2000s Opera in spirit and ran by the original Opera founder and is one of the most natively customizable browsers.
>>102211547ive dabbled with Vivaldi but that fucker is a bit of a rabbit hole and not something i would consider lightweight. good trivia about the Opera founder starting it I guess has a huge music lover. im literally looking for any browser with any engine along as it can perform the aforementioned in my original comment.
>>102211561You could probably just get Firefox to do what you want.
>>102211578yeah might just give that a go. atleast the different taksbar icons is a step in the right direction.
>>102208153Is windows 11 LTSC functional for gaming or does it introduce linux tier level of fuckery for breaking things and making them just not werk?
>>102211124>>102211330since I can't change my entire router to WPA2 for my entire house, the closest thing i could think of trying was to try my phone as a mobile hotspot and manually setup security types. WPA3 only networks don't seem to appear whereas WPA2/WPA3 and straight WPA2 ones do. despite being set to WPA2 and the system actually seeing it, attempting to connect does the same thing as shown in the original post without even asking for a key or anything, just attempt to connect then straight to that.
>>102211716Yeah it works fine for playing games
>accepted the devil's bargain (free trial of xbox game pass) ONCE and now windows sees my secondary drive as free real estate to put all kinds of random shit on that keeps reappearing whenever I delete it (if it even lets me delete it in the first place)>"Program Files" completely empty except for a "ModifiableWindowsApps" subfolder which is also empty. Can't delete either of them though, even with admin access. The folder is completely useless for any actual programs because windows keeps setting every permission to "admin only" which makes the programs not able to access their own files most of the time>"WindowsApps" which can't even be opened>"XboxGames" which is another empty folder that at least can be deleted, but reappears after every reboot>.GamingRoot file which also reappears after every rebootHow do I get rid of all this crap and makes sure it stays gone?How do I kill Bill Gates for doing this to me?
For all this time, since I installed Windows XP back when it released, I was under the impression that NTFS had file checksum validation.Today I learned that it does not. Am I wrong?What the actual fuck!?
>>102208153how do i make a windows install USB if all i have is a macbook air from 2012?Scrounged some parts to make a 2014ish tier gaming PC but now I need to do the install.
When we reach 2032, then what?I don't care for gaming, but I just feel at home on WIndows 10 IoT LTSC... I tried Win 11 IoT LTSC but did not enjoy it as much.I just want an OS and a computer I can use until I'm 78 years old, is that too much to ask?
Bros, why does my windows windows windows windows windows windows windows windows windows windo
>>102212845does this only apply if you dont pay for windows?or will you still be able to use windows 10 if you pay for a product key
>>102212462that is correct, ntfs does not support data checksumming. few filesystems do, in fact.
>>102212831You should be able to make a boot USB manually on macOS if you can format USBs as FAT32 on its current version, can mount ISOs and be able to install Homebrew so you can install wimlib to split an install.wim file into two pieces so it can fit in a FAT32 formatted drive.
>>102212845You literally have no idea what the tech landscape will even look like that far into the future lol
>>102213224what goes on outside doesn't matter if he can stay as some sort of digital hermit
>>102212989If you actually pay for 10 then if you want to use a standard 10 edition past the late 2025 cut off date then you need to buy access to the extended updates. Or you can just wait until someone on MDL figures out how to hack them into being free like they did with 7's extended updates.
>>102212845I used Win XP until 2019 with no issues (aside from modern gaming not being viable). I'm sure you'll be able to use 10 with some tweaks if you truly insist. But by then you might like the current Windows offerings more. I actually wasn't big on 7 but 10 won me over so I made the switch eventually.
>>102209562Potplayer predates the modern iterations of MPCHC. People didn't adopt it because it was corean and heavily shilled which made people not trust it. And now it's owned by a copyright troll. Using it is simply undignified.
>>102212845Nigga that's close to a decade. Humans might no even exist by then. Think about the now, not the future.
Is it possible to make that folder would automatically assign a category to a letter when it one moves to specific folder manually? It seems like its impossible in outlook.
>>102213128I knew FAT, exFAT and such did not do it, but I was under the heavy impression that both NTFS and ext4 did have checksums.So that means, for all these years my data was vulnerable to bit-flips?I probably have some corrupt data by now.
>>102213579yea possibly. ext4 also does not do data checksumming, you want btrfs or zfs for that
>>102213660Yeah, I'm using btrfs from now on.So, what do Windows people use if they want to ensure data integrity?
>>102213711I'm guessing ReFS is used in this case. It's a filesystem you can use on Windows Server installs that includes file checksum validation.
>>102213711ReFS has optional data checksumming
>>102213833>>102213837Understood. Thanks.Did not know Microsoft had anything more advanced than NTFS.
>>102212302You can't... you need to buy Xbox, this is what they want.
>>102211330>i have a few websites that i use like apps and widgets so i want to differentiate their windows from the chrome ones on my taskbar and make them look more like stand alone appsThis is still chrome, but in Edge you can go to top 3 dots on upper right -> Apps -> Install this site as appIt will basically turn the website into a standalone app with their own icons so it will differentiate from your chrome windows
>>102208153What is the exact order/instructions for downloading a non-bloated versions of W10 on a fresh PC, without paying obviously
>>102216300Bwo... did you even read the OPhttps://rentry.org/windowsinstallguidehttps://rentry.org/fwt
>>102208153Can/will you be able to manually install feature updates to windows 11 ltsc?

>>102208153I'm about to install windows 10 iot ltsc bbq abc or w/e its called, before I do so is there anything I should know while installing? Is there a product key in the pastabin?
>>102216057actually not bad but im still going to shop around a bit. you think if i save the page while running some sort of dark plugin before saving it will give me dark lines like the original pic?
>>102208153Windows 10 IOT LTSC or Windows 11 IOT LTSC? Or should I just wait for the official release?
>>102217503Why not Pro?
The windows 7 search doesn't find all the youtube url's and other words I saved in note pad. Some times it works other times it doesn't. Why?
>>102208153Is there a reason to use Windows besides vidya? It seems like GNU/Linux and MacOS do everything better and/or easier.
>>102219292Fringe hardware cases like the Surface, if you're the sort to want a desktop OS on a tablet.
>>102219292>It seems like GNU/Linux and MacOS do everything better and/or easier.Windows does not being Unix-like garbage better.
>>102218946home editions have 100% of the anticonsumer features and 0% of the ability to turn them off. LTSC is an enterprise cut whose targets include companies and governments who will not or legally cannot tolerate that garbage.
>>102219292Can't really torrent on Mac and whole there might be a way to fix this (I haven't messed with it enough to know yet) but when you try to use third party out tormented programs Mac auto-blocks the program every time you try to do something requiring you to basically pull up it's control panel and use an administrator password and click through a few security prompts just to open the program which is annoying.

>>102218766All plugins will work as it would in edge, so if you have dark reader enabled for the site, the "dowloaded site" will share that
>>102220724it does not %userprofile%\scoop\apps\xxx\current contains a reg file that reverts the changes, make sure to run that before uninstalling the package
>Article about windows update>It incorrectly attributes a feature to a specific feature update when its already been backported to the previous active servicing branches for weeks.>It incorrectly attributes a feature to the operating system that is actually part of an inbox app thats now serviced through the microsoft store on its own release cycle and there is no evidence the feature requires a specific os version to activate.
>>102220873thats annoyingbut i like the idea or portable programs that dont leave shit in the registry and appdata

>>102220184If no one can figure out how to remove Edge from the OS I'm unfortunately going to have to be extremely skeptical that you're able to remove the hard coded spybot that's the entire reason they rolled out a new OS.

>>102221584you can remove edge now though, the EU made them
>>102209699I always used VLC until now. I have always been too much of a brainlet for github and can never find anything on the site. To me, anyone who can actually type working code and post it on Github is Einstein himself. The site recommends that I use the github but it only links me to the source code, which doesn't help.t. level 99999999 brainlet
>>102221607How would one do that, of you don't mind sharing? Would it be registering the OS as though it's based on an EU Nation?
>>102221663press win+r and type winverif it says 22631.3235 or higher you just uninstall if you're in the EEA, how it detects that I don't know sorry. alternatively: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-uninstall-microsoft-edge-windows/

>>102221941Honestly it's a pretty solid browser if you disable copilot and remove the right sidebar.
>>102217680Something to do with the write cache or something, if I recall correctly. It's nothing serious. Are you using the "Safely Remove" thing every time you unplug a drive?
>>102212845>waaahhh, stop evolving, dear technology!You are a moron, retard, etc.Give up on holding on to old tech, plus you need to get into circuit repairs for that so you replace capacitors and transistors and what not that die with use and age.

How easy and reliable is it to activate Windows 10 and 11 normal/long term support versions and eventual Windows 12 for free nowadays? My gaming PC is getting old and I'm thinking what to do for my next PC in a few years. Don't want to pay for Windows anymore. I got my Windows 8.1 retail key changed into Window 10 OEM key for free when I built this PC.
I think we should put a note in the OP to actually check the OP before making questions, like, I don't mind answering some stuff for the tourists but jesus christ...
>>102222637read the OP you retard. to answer your question tho use the Microsoft Activation Script from massgravel. it works Everytime
>>102222637as for 12, we don't know yet, for all we know MS could turn Windows into a subscription and then we all would get fucked
>>102222954>>102222985I saw it, just wondering how reliable it is and how likely it's going to get patched.
>>102216816why would you want to purposely install bloat? the point of IoT LTSC versions is it's barebones windows. you can always install the Microsoft store with wsreset -i idk why you would want stuff like recall, copilot, or Cortana. may as well just install home/pro
rpgmaker mv games sometimes get stuck due to audit failure.is there a way to prevent those games from being stuckdue to audit failure?altis there a way to MANUALLY remove a windows update? i keep getting error 0x800f0905 when trying to remove the update i want to remove. the update in question is kb5035845 which was not installed correctly.
>>102223043it is reliable and, at least with 10/11, it's unlikely to get patched since it's the closest it can be to a legit license, and MS doesn't care really, otherwise they would've sued the guy already or some shit
>>102223043that depends on massgravel. last time I checked the first script didn't work and the 2nd script is now deprecated. I've been using the .zip and have the extracted contents on a flash drive that I have with a bunch of other windows tools on it. whenever I need to activate windows I just plug in the flash drive and run the executable to activate windows/office. I'm sure he'll find a way to get it working on 12. the only time I've experienced a bug/glitch is my machine still had the watermark in the bottom right telling me to activate windows even tho I was able to change wallpaper and stuff so it was clearly activated
>>102223063I've never actually heard about this error and I play a lot of RPGMaker MV games.
>>102223136i seedid rpgmaker games ever get stuck visually for you? as in the game kept working, but the game didn't change its apperance and stayed the same screen
>>102223063>>102223184no, i've never seen this in years of playing them. there's probably something wrong, check event viewer next time it happens
>>102223394i did check event viewer. thats where i found that the game gets stuck during an audit failure. i didnt get an error messege when playing, whecni checked the event viewer there was nothing in error, only in audit failure. and the audit failure was of the game i was playing in the time the crash happened.
>>102213514bumping but I guess its not possible
in android many music players are simply frontends for streaming platforms like youtube musicis there an equivalent on windows? i cant carry my whole media library in my laptop so streaming seems convenient
>>102224564Something like spotify on the msstore?
>>102224763yeah but i dont want the actual official bloated version which is literally a webkit browser (my guess)People in F-Droid make custom lightweight FOSS frontends for podcast streaming, music streaming, etc, without using the official client, isnt there something similar?
>>102224793I did a quick search on github and came across https://github.com/staniel359/muffonIt seems to fit your needs, what do you think?
>>102222637It was insanely easy just get a usb drive that's at least 8GB and follow the instructions in the OP and you'll be fine I've done it twice in the last two days.
Why is it that joystick calibration under "game controllers" disappeared? I can only get it to show a "POV hat" option with xinput.
>>102209456mpc-hc with madvrmpv is shit and can't handle hdr unless you edit the config but that makes sdr look wrongI've also had mpv drop frames when mpc-hc never did
>>102225148i dont care about HDR but why cant they make mpc open videos instantly like mpv
>>102225124Try device manager perhaps. It has to be somewhere.
>>102223044To choose the things i want? I want vidya enhancing features whilst still being able to control and disable others. So the question again is can you manually install feature updates for ltsc or are you locked out?
>>102225403That's only driver info.
I love keeping everything up to date with winget.
>>102225843If winget acknowledges the installs then yeah it's a pretty quick way to update everything listed in one go.
>>102211146update; i'm a dunce and didn't notice my home network is already configured to be WPA2/WPA3, so that wasn't the issue. In just throwing various drivers from SDI at it, I eventually found one that'll let me attempt to connect/ask for network password instead of just giving up near instantly.

Can you guys help me with my audio setup? I have no clue why Windows keeps fucking with my headphones settings, specifically it keeps turning off spatial sound and lowering the output format. I tried setting it up via Control Panel > Sound, and it still doesn't work.Using Windows 11 IoT LTSC.
>>102209708Can you install Windows from Ventoy though? I just can't imagine how it would work if Windows reboots during installation so it would have to somehow know from which ISO you are installing.
>>102226109I've installed IoT LTSC 2021 with Ventoy three times on three different PCs without any hitches. Also you don't need the USB plugged in after the initial install.
>>102226104Make sure you're looking at the correct device(s), apply desired settings from the control panel, check exclusive mode, update drivers, check for conflicting software. Wonder if it works on W11 Edu/Ent.
>>102226104>32 bit 384kHzMy man, bigger number is not better. There is no human who can tell the difference between that and 32 bit 48kHZ for example. You can't even find any audio to play that will that sound different.
>>102226204>Audiophiles enter the chat
>>102226173I disabled all audio devices apart from my headphones. Did all that, it still changes the moment I close the Settings window, still playing the same audio file. What the fuck is this shit all about, why can't I have control over my audio settings.
>>102226209An audiophile would actually defend this shit.
>>102226173>>102226239Alright, I uninstalled all audio drivers and actually got rid of an AMD one BUT it still didn't fix my issue. It also doesn't matter what I tick in Exclusive Mode, the moment I close Headphones Properties (or aforementioned Settings windows) it resets. What the fuck am I doing wrong.
>>102226299I don't know, friend. Maybe clean boot, SFC, DISM, Google it, repair your installation, attempt a fresh installation. Good luck.
>>102226209Run an experiment with a control and everything an audiophile believes in evaporates instantly. All of the nonsense about gold-plated cables, the quality of CDs pressed in Japan, marking the edges of CDs with green ink, freezing cables to improve conductivity and therefore sound quality, hearing a difference between FLAC and V0 encodings... it's all in their heads.
>>102226299>>102226367This is a known issue with no fix, specifically changing the bit rate and sample rate, depending on your DAC and audio software. Spatial sound should be untouched, but you never know. Mine defaults to 16 bit 48kHz, which is fine because it's ubiquitous, but you can get worse, like forced 32 bit 44.1 kHz. Either go back to an earlier version of Windows or use a different OS like Linux.https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-keeps-resetting-my-audio-bitrate-to-32-bit/d658515b-675f-4582-b7e2-ea5fcacd38f2
>>102226375Ehh just let them live in their fantasy world
>>102226299What DAC are you using? If it's some chink dongle it may trick Windows by claiming it can run that but it will default to what it can ACTUALLY run.
>>102208153Anyone know how to disable the ctrl+number behavior in firefox on windows? It switches tabs, but I want to bind it to opening container tabs instead. I have that setup on linux and it's comfy, but for some reason the default behavior is different in the windows version.

>>102227326Try an sfc /scannow and see if that does anything. Best comes to worst you can just repair upgrade with an ISO setup.

how to i remove this like the one from iot ltsc?
>>102227989You can just remove those big squares and then drag the start menu from the top right corner to be smaller.

Which vidya games work better on Win7 than on Win10 or later (original or pirated ones)?
>>102228139These days it doesn't really matter because of patches and things like dgVoodoo2. Also installing things like VCRedist AIOs, the DirectX End User installer, XNA Framework and enabled DirectPlay in the features menu makes pretty much any game run properly.
>>102228047yeah old laptop not that oldif i use should i use it with k-lite

I don't know what to do. I just want to install vidya, plugins, etc. This worked before on normal Windows 10/11, but not here. I don't get it. I'm just glad it didn't wipe away my browser or anything, but I'm still mad.
>>102228333Well something has obviously fucked up somewhere in the install process as I can mount ISOs fine on my LTSC install.Maybe try repair upgrading with the ISO after extracting its files somewhere, as you can't mount it for whatever reason.
A fun fact concerning the recent Intel kerfuffle.Despite having a 13700KF processor, so one of those supposedly affected, I have never had a single issue with it. Not a single freeze, stutter, BSOD etc. Despite that, somewhat alarmed by all the news, I updated the BIOS.Since then, I started having completely random freezes, once every few days. It didn't matter what I was doing - whether gaming, watching a movie, reading something - it came out of complete nowhere.So now I rolled back the BIOS to the exact same version I started with.TL;DR: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Can you install windows on a drive that already has files on it without losing them?
>>102228333>double click ISO>mountsit's just that shrimplemaybe check to see if the ISO is corrupted if literally windows itself and 20 3rd party programs all cant read it retard
>>102228414If you install it to a primary partition on the drive that doesn't include said files, yes.
>>102228414if it's already ntfs, or fat32 which can be converted to ntfs, then yes. you aren't required to format a volume before installing windows to it
>>102228452>>102228489Thanks. Ironically I'm asking this because I wanna install linux. I currently have a windows installation on the smaller of my two drives, so I wanna move it over to the bigger one and install linux on the smaller one, since I can just mount the bigger drive later anyway.
>>102228426None of my ISOs we're corrupted. It's a Windows issue for me.
>>102228569it's also possible to move the existing install to the other drive without formatting it, though this may be a more advanced process (i've only done that "manually", so i'm not aware of any "easy" tools to do that, not that it's actually that hard if you know how to do it)if you don't care to keep it or even want to install a new copy of windows, then you don't have to do that, just select the volume you want windows on and hit next in setup without hitting format. i would suggest at least moving/renaming any folders if they are in the same place as ones windows installs, like "C:\Windows" or "C:\Users", etcremember: a windows install is just a set of files, it's not blessed in any way compared to other files
>>102228804Well turns out the big drive has an MBR partition label so I can't install windows on it anyway :PThere aren't that many files I wanna keep on it so I'll just manually back them up and wipe the whole thing. Oh well.
>>102228853you can convert it to gpt, again without formatting it
>>102228928Eh, I've already backed my stuff up so I don't have much of a reason to. I'll just start clean. Thanks for the help though.
Is there a way to change the default aspect ratio of windows in Windows 10? I may have a 21:9 display but there are practically zero windows I actually want in 21:9
>IoT LTSC 21H2 does not have support for Intel E-cores (12th gen+)So i'm gonna fuck myself over by trying to download any LTSC version?
>>102229399No. You'll just have to remember next time to not get a toy processor with fake cores on it.
>>102229399IoT LTSC 2024 is downloadable/usable, anon. That runs on 11 and has support for e-cores.
>>102229421The point i'm making is that this is going to make my cpu performance worse? >>102229440>W11I'd really rather not
>>102229448I think you'll probably be fine. I have LTSC 2021 IoT on AM5 with no issues at all.
>>102229421Better than a toy OS intended for kiosks and industrial control panels.
>>102229448Well anon you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either use 2021 and get very infrequent microstutters from the e-cores being used like p-cores or use 2024 where the cores will be used correctly. Your call.

>>102229554That doesn't do anything because it needs an ARM64 CPU to work and it's opt-in.
>>102229575> needs an ARM64 CPU to work and it's opt-inUnfortunately, both of those statements are factually incorrect. It's just not possible to use these statements and other like them to further justify Windows 11 use, little buddy.
>>102229624erm can you not gaslight me please thnx
>>102199819>>102200761>>102200887I don't know what it could be in my settings. My Laptop has 3 performance modes, Quiet, Regular and Performance. I have the same issue in all 3.On further testing, it might not even be exclusive to Chrome. It might even be just whenever graphical elements in general are called up. The sad thing is just recently I clean installed both my graphics drivers on this machine (the problem was still present before that so it's not what caused it) Funnily enough after leaving my laptop on a while it is better right now, but it does also return and seems like it's choking with graphical elements. I would guess if I switched to only my dGPU then the problem would go away entirely, but I don't see why I have the issue using my iGPU. It's aggravating
Does Win11 actually have any benefits?
>>102229663I mean it has some new features that 10 doesn't have>Native DoH system wide>Automatic HDR>DirectStorage API>New CPU scheduler that works with e-core CPUsThose are the big four.
>>102229637Stop typing like a 14 year old girl on discord.
>get new monitor>no longer can shutdown without using the power button >shutting down from the menu just logs out >reinstall drivers does nothing>look online>"yeah, you just need to turn off fast reboot">it workshow the fuck did changing my monitor fuck with fast reboot
>>102229663I began taking notes of my experience when I got a new laptop with win11 preinstalled. on the benefits I wrote>"copy as path" in the right-click context menu>file explorer has tabs now>cmd has an improved color palette and tabs>default user folders like documents, pictures etc. can be removed from the sidebar in explorerthat's all I have, the drawbacks list is twice the length of this
>>102229726Fast boot is the worst feature I swear. Always disable it on every install I do.
>>102229575It is merely waiting to activate on other chipsets. It can be activated for some not officially supported and will update to support others soon.
>>102229663The number is bigger!
>>102229738I just disable hibernation entirely.
>>102229663updated WDDM = less crashes/better fps
>>102229874That's how I do it too.>powercfg /h offSweet relief.
I use w11 but I do my hardest to fearmonger about it to keep normies out.
>>102230014but why
So is 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 the new meta?
>>102230227The meta is a desktop running 11 enterprise with NO internet access whatsoever. All downloads and uploads are done manually on a linux laptop with vpn and transfered over via usb.
>>102230434>NO internet accessAt that point, just run whatever you want.
>>102225843winget or chocolatey?
>>102229727>>102229692>>102229887So in practice nothing really? Is it faster/smoother in any meaningful way or not even that? I'm genuinely curious
>>102208153I was gonna dual boot windows and linux on seperate harddrives but apparently windows boot manager just deletes boot order, which is honestly kinda rude if true.
>>102231077You can't read?
>>102231077Win11 upgrades every DirectX/Vulkan program to indepdendent flip model this improves latency and everything.
>>102231197I should have been clearerI meant more as in nothing meaningful to prompt the upgrade. Those things are nice on paper but not exactly game changers. >>102231219I see
>>102230602Windows 12 should use this style and design
I booted up my computer and windows is telling me to upgrade to win11. I don't want to , because of all the stuff they added and removed it looks so unuser friendly. So how bad would my systems security be after October next year?

So I'm using Windows 10 Education as suggested in the pastebin. Should I update to Win 11? I know this must be asked a lot, I just don't feel like searching the archive.
>>102232438It depends.The quickest answer is 'No', since windows 10 is more stable than W11 at this point. But if you have modern hardware that can take advantage of the new optimizations from W11 then yes, try it and check for yourself.Personally, my PC doesn't get anything from W11 so I stay in W10 just because I can't stand the newer UI.
>>102232559 Yeeah I do have a i7-12700K with a good graphics card and RAM, so I was thinking maybe it's a good idea. I was mostly thinking about Arc, since the version for Win 10 seems a bit unattended but maybe it's not worth the hassle. Thanks for the answer.

Guys give me a qrd on password managers. I'm using lastpass atm since it's what I've used for years and never bothered with changing it even after the data breach a year or two ago.

why is 11 so fucking blurry? it looks like loonix
>>102231107I used to dual boot between 10 and Ubuntu. windows never fucked up anything for me even after installing updates. I've heard other people say it deletes grub entirely and you'll have to oot into aive distro and use boot repair to fix it . the only time I had to do that was when I fucked with my partitions and accidentally deleted something
>>102238286*boot into a live distro
>>102226104Don't aim for that high sample rate, I didn't even know that Winhoes supported those stupid high rates, and I wouldn't be surprised if the support is buggy.>>102226204Yes and no, braindead moron. While the sampling rate is indeed largely irrelevant and pointless, high sample rate records tend to come with excellent mixing/mastering (90-99% of the time from what I know), hence why audiophools tend to believe why higher is better. (The records tend to sound better when better produced.) Even though posting this is also largely pointless and irrelevant because you fucktards live to shitpost the heck out of this place misguide other people on toics you don't care about, I am leaving this here anyway for anyone genuinely curious that may happen to comb through this thread.There's no harm in sharing the truth. Those absurd sample rates are super unnecessary, but there is some truth to it due to circumstances different from what half the audiophools believe.>>102234468repair centers tend to require mailing your machine in, but I would first recommend a local shop>>102236736>harvested*wiped when they format the drive in their procedures>>102231555That supposedly has to do with use case.

>>102225843I love that the only software that NEEDS to be kept up to date just updates itself without my having to use command lines or do anything at all.As for the rest, it doesn't matter, and I'm too lazy to do anything about them."If it works, don't 'fix' it."

>>102222637can't you just run a KMS server on your OpenWRT router?

>>102238275Indians love Linux and want to make Windows more like Linux.
I asked a question in a previous thread before (couldn't find it) about logging into outlook without logging into the other office suite apps (word, ppt, excel).I'm happy to announce that I found a way, and it's to enter your live/hotmail email manually with imap instead of letting the outlook software do it for you automatically. Hope this helps anyone that wants to use their MS email in outlook without signing into the rest of the office suite!
>>102208153For someone dicking around with windows XP and wants to attempt to use it online, anyone recommend a decent antivirus that won't absolutely bog down an old pentium 4?
>>102239033Maybe try some of the old classics.
>>102239033if it's for a quick nostalgia trip then just be careful not to go to any shady sites and don't put any sensitive data there, if you're feeling schizo you could isolate it in your network or use a VPN, using an old antivirus would be pretty much useless honestly
>>102238275Looks sharper to me. In fact W10's fonts look worse as in most windows applications they aren't properly implemented unlike with W11 where they are consistent. Metro really was a unfinished ugly piece of shit, glad we moved over to WinUI3.

Gets by far the best experience.TLDR: Don't touch or change anything unless it's broken, your OS will update on it's own if it's qualified by the end of 2025.
>>102239033The average detection rate for any antivirus is about 30% or less. They don't even detect obvious infostealers written in Visual Basic .NET with unobfuscated code, unless someone submits the hash to their databases directly. You're better off just not using one at all.
