I've installed (on my sister's laptop) windows 10 Education and activated it with MAS, back when it was the recommended version before IoT LTSC released.
Now it's deactivated and I'm not sure how, so before I activate it again, is there a way to change to LTSC IoT?
Without re-installing?

>>102761792
No, you need to clean wipe.
Just re-activate the Education install again. It's not like it's bad now or something, it's still the Enterprise offshoot it's always been.

>it's still the Enterprise offshoot it's always been.
Well, it still has the weather plugin and some ads for games in the menu.
I guess I should be activating it again, instead.
What bother me is how much ram it uses compared to LTSC IoT.
Heck even Win 10 pro uses less ram.
>Pro ~2.1 GB
>Edu ~2.8 GB
If I wanted to switch to LTSC IoT, do I need to wipe the whole drive? or I can just "Upgrade" windows to LTSC IoT?
Maybe just wipe the C partition?

Microshit's 24H2 update is unfriendly and contains screen keylogging spyware. Use at your own risk or better not use it at all until they remove that spyware shit.

It removes the watermark by activating it but sometimes it makes the system overheat and blowup. In other times the PC restarts and encrypts your entire storage drive. I've seen cases where it randomly installs crypto miners. Basically it just works, sometimes. You just have to trust your instincts.

Yeah, wanting to test Win11 is just a result of procrastination. I already have everything set up and backed up, just need to insert the usb and W10 ltsc reinstall can proceed.

Sometimes on Windows, my Explorer will become slow to respond.

I'll delete a file, and it'll stay showing in the folder until I refresh the folder. I've no idea why, it's not a low spec thing. What could be causing this?

>>102765263
It is related to some services but I don't know anything else. It also could be because of auto-discovery.

How do I get Win11 24H2 update to show up? I'm still on 22H2 on my desktop and 23H2 on my laptop, where the option for updating to the most recent version does not show up. Should I get a fresh .iso and install it over my current windows?

Might as well get an installation media if you really insist doing so.

I fucking love Windows sandbox.

Just thought of another way to get the bypasses into an ISO directly, via using the tool AnyBurn to edit a Windows ISO via adding the autounattend file inside the $OEM$ folder from a Rufus flashed USB to the sources folder which includes said scripts that add the bypassing DWORDs to the setup's registry.

Eh fuck it, It's a fun thing and probably the best you'll get for ricing Windows 10 anyway. It's already a tower of duct tape. Looks good with my workspace anyway.

Besides, I have a massive problem with tab hoarding so maybe a lack of combining icons isn't such a bad thing. Might as well do OpenShell again as I should have a year sooner.

>>102774074
Many ways. Write down what the error code is and look it up and see if it has any fixes, download Nirsoft BlueScreenView and look at the dump files to see what file exactly caused the BSOD and look into how you may fix that. You could also put the error code into a site like MagNumDB or use a tool like ErrorLookup.

frens, I'm losing my FUCKING MIND. I have a windows 10 computer that starts playing this fucking generic music through the speakers at full volume whenever the screen turns off.

95% of the results are how to keep music (spotify) when windows goes to sleep and I've found two descriptions of this happening on ACER win7 computers which aren't helpful.

Sleep is set to Never
Turn off Screen is set to 10min
Screensaver: None

I've been up and down all the power settings and advanced menus and there is fucking dick about sound. Speaking of sound everything everywhere is set to use the headphones, and the speakers are turned to 0% volume but this music plays at 100% volume on the speakers every time the monitor goes to sleep. The second you touch the mouse or remote in it goes silent so there is nothing to see to clue me in to what the fuck is going on.

Again, I'm losing my mind it's like a living breathing catch-22, please fucking help me winfrens.

Sorry, I should have specified I'm on Windows 10
My Explorer just seems to crawl to a halt and need frequent manual refreshes. Do you think the stuff on that link would still apply?

I'm getting bored of 10 and thinking about installing 7 again but I remember I had problems with using python 3 scripts the last time I used 7
is it possible to get them working at all? I don't mean like coding them or whatever, it was just painttool sai's crack script

planning to do a clean install of windows, is there any good backup software or am i better off manually moving anything i plan on keeping to an external hard drive

windows 10 and I closed the search widget meaning the floating input widget that sits in the middle of this user's desktop. I closed it because it turned to edge and wouldn't let me change the default search, I figured that out (set edge default search to google) but I cannot turn the actual widget back on. all my googlefu only returns how to turn the taskbar search box on or off. halp?

>>102778696
at this point is just ridiculous to use 7 for anything serious

I was gonna insatll the niggerslop home edition cuz the last time I tried out win 11 IoT it was buggy for me, how is it nowadays?

>>102778818
Good backup software is for emergency dirty recovery that needs to be done asap, not planned clean reinstalls.
If you have time it's almost always better to recreate configs from dumps/notes/screenshots werever possible, that way you will notice possible improvements or maybe even conflicts with new settings/defaults added after your last setup.

Stop using sleep, I think it's redundant these days because booting up only takes about 10 seconds or whatever.

SSD or HDD?

I'm using an old Thinkpad with 16gb of ram, getting out of memory errors despite physical ram being being at only 50%-60% full. I heard it could be because the pagefile was too small, which would be true in my situation because I have 10gb free in a 256gb ssd. I can make more space if I delete some loonix partitions that I never used, but that would be kinda time consuming.

Do you think making more free space and increasing the pagefile settings will really help?

>>102781135
yes, no problems so far

>>102781261
you can try disabling swap and see if it helps in your use case, some applications throw oom the moment they try to use more ram than pagefile size, but happily crash the system by eating all the ram if swap is disabled.

what software does /fwt/ use for local backups ?

>>102781135
no, I think that only benefited hard drives because I can't tell the difference, however, I do see a small improvement in shutting down when it's disabled because Windows doesn't have to write anything to the drive

Because the definition of "quietly disappear" on 4chan is "don't reply to the post again, which will page 11 in a few hours or days". Everywhere else - including reality - it's "change your name, appearance and go live somewhere else", which if it weren't impossible for (for example) /g/entoomen to do (as they're 100% dependent on welfare, they live where .gov says, eat when .gov says, sleep when .gov says, etc.), they would be far too lazy and stupid to do it anyway.

>>102784719
>>102784782
You could always just set the registry entries within the setup via opening regedit via the shift+f10 command prompt and adding them where they need to go. It's not automagic but it'll set the bypasses you want to boot in a VM, though these days you shouldn't even need to bypass in something like Virtualbox because it can emulate all the bits 11 wants.

Lol that was the first thing I tried doing, and even that didn't work, which is why I went the route of trying to get a modified .iso file. Am I doing something wrong, or is it something to do with my VM's settings?

videos play perfectly while i'm playing something and have a video playing on another screen

Then just set them all to 60, done. Though I doubt it'll be 60, even cheapo monitors now are 144 or something. Just replace the slow one.

>just get rid of hardware that is still working
you're what's wrong with everything

>>102786722
the funny thing is everything works on linux perfectly fine for me when using multiple screens with different refresh rates

I wonder why MS thought it was a good idea to install a developer toolkit program as a global system app installed on every PC? Easy to remove though.

i must be retarded because I cannot get Mint to keep it's shit together with my setup, a 32" 4k as main and a 24" 1080 in portrait. windows has no issues with remembering the smaller monitor but Mint will occasionally flip it back to portrait, usually if I reboot it goes back to the correct orientation.

well he was referring to x11. i have zero experience with wayland

The icon still there but it doesn't seem to do anything now, so I guess it's ok? I still would rather use something that doesn't install shit I don't need without asking or telling me

>insane ones.

>>102786570
Uh, I had one monitor at 60Hz and the other at 75Hz back in Vista, so I'm going to assume another "absolute state" situation.

>>102786719
This is the standard response to Linux failings though.

In the concrete case, pretty much. It's something (for example) freetards don't understand. Because they have no software, and no real reason to actually HAVE a computer, all they do is dick around with their Troonix, like a bunch of retarded kids watching a taffy-pulling machine all day.
Windows and macOS on the other hand, are just some that exists in the background to make your programs work. It's not the central focus, because Windows users (and to a lesser extent, macOS users) don't have to rationalize their OS "choice" every nanosecond of their lives.

No I didn't, as I'm somebody else.
I won't have a go at you for this, however - anonymous freetard safespace and all that.

That means the ISO is in english but once installed, I can change the system's language to whatever I need, right?
