Is there any good file explorer app for w10?

do I need to use all the debloat tools or is just one of them enough?

>>102383056
just one is enough, they mostly do the same things

can I get some windows lewd anime pics so I can give it my cummies?

Just one, otherwise the different botnet clients will be competing with each other and slow down your machine.

Start with

I added the ffmpeg path to Environmental Variables so I don't have to type out the full path every time. Pressing the up arrow after yt-dlp allows you to recycle the last prompt, so you only have to replace the URL not re-type everything all over again.

If it is hardware that W10 can run on, W11 also will via the same drivers. W11 = W10, fundamentally. No one should have issues.

it says disable auto updates but does that mean never update?

No, it means you have to check manually, preferably once or twice a month every month

yeah, keyword being "auto". You're not disabling updates, but you're disabling the automatic updates (updates that happens without your consent)

do you think there will be a way to get the extended support updates for windows 10 for free?

From what I'm reading, only Windows 11 has the ability to enable mirror mode between the Linux subsystem. The goal is to install WSL2, install SSH/Ollama, and be able to hit that server from another laptop. I'm not familar with Windows at all, so it's been a struggling trying to figure out the firewall/networking port. I just want to run ufx or iptables. :/

Anyone know how to do this in a better way? I had downloaded the Windows 10 ISO, but maybe I just need to go to Windows 11.

So will it be impossible to change things like the start menu, taskbar, etc. in a legitimate way from now on, or is it just a matter of developers change the way they work?

Best free program for making disk images (including system backups)?

Is Macrium Reflect Free still it, even though it's not updated?
Is it even still available? It's still working on old machines of mine, but it seems like it's no longer available to download from their website, only a trial edition. MajorGeeks has a link to download it, but don't know whether to trust.

Or is it just time to move on? How is AOMEI? I used it once before, but then got worried about chink spyware.

Or should I just cuck and pay? And if I'm gonna pay, should I still go with Macrium? How about Acronis? Paragon? Something else?

Tech illiterate here. Created windows recovery media on usb flashdrive, replaced hdd with ssd, connected usb started on puter, when I select recover whether i choose to keep files or delete them, it fails at 3% when keeping them, it fails at 50% when deleting them. Fixing startup didnt work, i dont see the sata ssd in bios either, but that could be because the bios doesnt even show the drive? On system diagnosis it recognises there is a disk and the light of ssd being in use is on. Am I doomed? Insyde f48 bios and kingston a400 sata btw.

any windows vm + rufus
linux just doesnt format the same way that windows executables like sometimes and i've stopped trying to figure it out

>>102393707
WoeUSB or Ventoy would be easiest.
You can also set it up manually via formatting a USB as FAT32 then extracting a Windows ISO to it (besides the sources folder) then extract said folder but not the install.wim. Then download wimlib and use that to split the wim into two pieces to fit it on the FAT32 formatting. Then you should just be able to boot it like normal.

>>102393761
thanks but it looks like a normal transfer with extra steps.

>>102393834

Guys, I'm using Windows 11 and gonna install Windows 10 LTSC soon. Do I need to "wipe the EFI partitions off all your non-OS drives. " as the guide mentioned?

>>102394088
you only have one drive

Does anybody use Spotify on Win7? I used 1.2.5.1006 for years but since last week can't log in.

>>102394393
To use more modern Spotify versions on 7 you'll probably need VxKex

>>102386310
They're going the full-corpo "everyone has the same experience" garbage that's so popular right now, so customers aren't "confused."

>>102394294
So the "drive" mentioned in the guide is C:\ or something else? Sorry I'm new to this and kind of confused.

>>102396438
It would be the drive that Windows is installed to, so yes the C:\
If you want to move from 11 to 10 LTSC you'll need to clean wipe this drive after backing up anything on it.
When you're in the 10 LTSC setup USB, press shift+f10 to open up a command prompt so you can access diskpart.
Run "diskpart" then run "select disk 0" then run "clean" to wipe the disk of all partitioning data.
After it shows that it was successful, close the prompt and refresh the drive listing and install to the unallocated space

>>102396438
the guide is referring to the drives as physical drives or disks
you're referring to drives as logical drives or partitions
drive is used to refer to both, but referring to C: and D: as partitions in this context makes a more clear distinction
C:\ is just a partition on your drive
you have C:\ and D:\ partitions on one drive
if you wipe C:\, you still only have one drive and one EFI partition
the windows installer wont care

some people have C:\ on one physical drive and D:\ E:\ F:\ etc on another physical drive
and they might have two EFI partitions, one on each drive, one left over from a previous installation, in that situation they'd want to wipe all the EFIs, or at least the one on disk2/drive2

>You can't upgrade/change LTSC to or from a GAC edition.
Alright, lets put this persistent myth to the rest. You ABSOLUTELY can upgrade (sidegrade rather) from LTSC to GAC branch, as long as you are using the same build. It doesn't even require any hacks and is natively supported. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/windows-upgrade-paths
Going from GAC to LTSC however isn't supported and requires you to do hacky things and you'll end up with a frankenbuild.

sounds good, the hassle for now doesnt sound too worth it, ill keep an ltsc usb by for the future for the eventual w12 pozzening

I need help with an installation usb since I don't even know how this problem happened. (Either some funky shit happened or my brother trolled me and just swapped my usb with another one.) My Windows 10 USB stick seemed to have randomly turned into a Win 11 one.

I was planning to dual boot with Linux on a laptop and when I got to the set up it said that it was an incompatible install which confused me since I knew it was Win 10 from the very beginning. It wasn't until I tried it on my main station that I saw it was trying to install 11.

How did this happen and is there a way to revert this?

I even said "fuck it" and tried to install it anyway yet the boot menu didn't even show Windows 11 as an option.

Should I run christitus tool on a new iot ltsc? (at least the recommended settings)

>>102401503
>How did this happen and is there a way to revert this?
Just flash it again with windows 10 bwo. Your USB windows isn't going to magically change edition on its own, so someone must've used it to install windows 11. Anywas you just gotta write windows 10 to it again

>>102401635
Yeah, sounds good. I probably should've just been not lazy but it was just a bizarre event where I just asked myself how did that happen or how I didn't notice.

If the SATA isn't showing up in BIOS, that is a definite sign that you can't install/re-install.

If your HDD install is still usable, install Macrium Reflect 7 Free and use that to copy your HDD partition to the SSD. You've got some kind of HP machine with a 7th gen i5/i7? Weird that you are even having issues. Double check your BIOS settings, something is off. Is your SATA mode set to AHCI? You need that with SSDs.

Windows 10 issue here
For some reason whenever I do full scans or during windows updates, it says it's using 100% of the C drive but it barely caps out at <5 mbs per second according to task manager and hwinfo and slows down the entire system
The SSD is fine according to s.m.a.r.t and benchmarks, it still read/writes at the advertised read/write speeds which are way more than what I'm getting whenever windows wants to do anything. It's not full, only 20% of space used, my ram is more than fine, and transferring large folders from D->C drive and vice versa also goes more or less according to its write speed.
So i want to ask is there some obscure setting somewhere that I need to turn on or off to make windows utilise it properly?

>>102405262
na, it's normal for operations that involve tons of small random i/o to be way slower than large transfers, and it even more pronounced on cheaper/sata ssd's
"100% utilisation" just means the drive is fully busy, as in it's doing something the whole time, what speeds you get depends on what you're doing. you may be thinking "didn't ssd's fix this? isn't this a hdd problem?", yes and no, yes, ssd's have far faster seek times than hdd's and far higher IOPS than hdd's (in general, if you don't cheap out too much), but they're still slower at random operations like hdd's, just not by as great a degree

>>102405374
Thanks for answering
That makes sense, I guess I'll have to just deal with it (I already disabled any auto updates so I don't get bogged down in the middle of something important) until I upgrade to a better ssd for my C drive

I use scoop for some stuff like MPV, yt-dlp and git. But I mostly just use exes.

Today I found out that Hyper-V can multiplex your GPU, effectively splitting it and serving its capacity to multiple VMs, just like most hypervisors do with CPUs. I also found out that Linux specifically lacks this ability. Pretty cool.

Seemingly at random, sometimes when I press my laptop power button to put it to sleep, it will instead do a complete restart, force closing anything I have open with no prompts.

Any idea what causes this? There's no Update pending or even completed during this.

LTSC isn't perfect, there are still a few handful of settings you might want to change like keyboard repeat rate that are near impossible to find without resorting to using the search function, but it's a trillion times better than the shit heap that is the consoomer editions.

MAS has an edition switcher. You might as well just switch to Enterprise.

My shits all retarded right now as I havent used a PC outside of basic work shit since I had a shitty win7 pc as a teenager I only used for games and browsing 4chan.

Got a new laptop with win11. Im autistic about minimalism and want my pc as streamlined as I can make it, and if I am going to start the OS learning process, I want to do it from a clean install. Seems like Win10 IoT LTSC would be my best bet first before seeing what Linux is about.

Do I just partition my SSD, download and install Win10 IoT onto the new partition, move files over and delete the win11 partition? I dont have an external drive at the moment and will not intentionally backup pictures and videos of my children to the 'cloud'

>>102409894

How do I remove unused and outdated shortcuts from the start menu?

>>102410152
It'd be easier to just backup anything you need to, load up a 10 IoT LTSC install USB then use the shift+f10 command prompt to run diskpart so you can wipe the system drive's partition data completely with the clean command. Then you can install to the now fresh unallocated space with none of the 11 install's detritus.

Will I break shit if I use the Edge Removal Script? I did it with an .exe, not with the script that's recommended in the pastebin and it broke my fucking updates and had to reinstall.

I did a fresh installation of windows 10.
To copy old VMs and other data that stayed on old SSD, I did shutdown, plug in data drive and booted into old windows. On the new windows, the files that I copied to the data driver weren't visible and drive had still empty space. I did reboot again, and system did "repair" the drive and these files did appear.

Did the old windows10 have malware? I never seen anything like files that don't appear until a disk scan and a reboot.

Mobile devices, such as laptops, require OEM drivers to function properly. For example, I have an AMD graphics card, and Windows version updates often lead to generic driver upgrades. Unfortunately, the UWP app for drivers won’t work because it’s fucking outdated. Additionally, battery and power management drivers often don’t function properly because OEMs design them for specific versions, like 21H2, for instance. A device that is supposed to have a 7-hour battery life may end up only lasting 2-3 hours due to these issues.Driver updates aren’t straightforward, and the kernel version will be bumped as well. In a perfect world, Micro$aft’s telemetry would work effectively so that users wouldn’t have to deal with this mess but no, we need to suffer.

>>102412017

>>102410338
Doesn't the Windows installer give you a list of disk/partitions where you can just delete everything until it's just one disk with unallocated space? Why the need for cmdprmt?

>>102412192
>No, that means the iso that you used for fresh installation has corrupted file system.

But the errors were on the data drive not on the system drive.

The only strange idea I had, back from xp era, was that both systems overwrote their permissions, but that wouldn't explain why the new files on the data drive were invisible and drive didn't report the decrease in free space.

Software gets heavier over time as demand for aesthetics and new features happens, ms can try and optimize it but the reality is W10 was super fucking ugly and barebones but that made it's system requirements much lower. I'm on a 11th gen and W11 Enterprise works just fine for me with all the bells and whistles like animations and transparency enabled. It's a very good looking OS and decently preformant as long as you get used to animations being slower to mask the loading unlike with W10 metro where everything felt a bit faster but uglier.

So I downloaded MPC-HC and I can't switch it to be the default media player in the default apps settings. I did manage to use it by going to properties and switch the Open With... selection but why won't Windows let me switch the default app from the settings tab? :( Same goes for Image viewer. The default is set to Paint for fucks sake and want to switch it to NoMacs or qView and it won't let me.

Only get shit from trusted sources, I'd suggest looking at fmhy.net before download shit. Also practice some basic cybersecurity and privacy hygiene by running an updated build of windows, and running either Firefox+uBO or Brave when visiting dodgy pirate sites with pop-ups. qBittorrent is best for downloading, make sure to enable Anon mode or whatever it's called and use a VPN if you are in a country that requires it. As for anti-virus software, only thing you should use is Windows Defender, just disable automatic sample submission and make sure everything else that's not virtualized based is enabled in the main tab and reputation protection tab.

>>102424031
The one that comes with current Windows these days (Defender) is more then enough a vast majority of the time. Doesn't get in your way and you can set it to be less spooky in the settings (pretty much just disabling two options.)
If you want another option you could look into BitDefender or ESET.

>When choosing edition there will be two choices, LTSC and IoT LTSC, select IoT LTSC for HWID activation compatibility and longer support cycle.

Should I get one of those Win10 keys from ebay?
I have this copy since 2016. I have no idea where I got it originally.

for some the p cores and e cores stuff is bullshit, mostly due to the fact that you get basically equal or better performance in Windows 10. It's still an ongoing debate specially now that W11 is getting more performance updates

as for the version, you can activate any version with the tool, IoT LTSC is the one with longer support

Thank you. I lost my temper and forgot to check. I had a feeling you will be straight edge in this thread (officially bought Win users).

how do you install visual studio 2022 on windows 10 enterprise iot ltsc 2021?

Not sure if it's better to ask here or in the smartphone thread, but since it deals with the Windows side of things figured this was a better place to start. My phone (A Galaxy S21+ I've had for a few years now) has been bugging me to switch over from the old messages app it had been using to Google Messages for a while now. Finally decided to go ahead and do so, but it seemed like it broke Phone Link in Windows being able to view my messages properly, with them syncing occasionally (usually just when I remove and readd my phone) but otherwise not tending to stay current and just making it a pain to view my messages in general. Oddly when I decided to just login to the Google Messages web page on my PC to use that instead to get around this it seemed like it has been working ever since (even after closing the tab), but since it's only been a few hours I'm not sure if that's coincidental or not. Anyway anyone have any input on all that and/or if there's a good solution for it?

Also googling a few days ago suggested it may be an issue with a lack of RCS support in Phone Link, though I'm a bit confused as to why opening Google's web app on my PC fixed it in Phone Link (at least for now)

I heard of linux-fags who wanted the chad Windows Aero Look™; but not the other way around. This feels dirty as fuck.
