>>102792337I use it at work. Generative fill is slightly useful, but still needs work to smooth things out when you generate to expand photos (using the same tools you already used to generate your own fills before AI). The lack of a competent upscaler really limits PS's AI feature set. Since they removed all 3D capability from PS to sell you more products (not included in the CS standard package), it's hard to recommend going past CS6.All the AI features are cloud-based, so you *will* have problems if you try to use them without paying.

Installed 11 on a 4th gen i7 laptop and it's... surprisingly not shit, it feels relatively smooth and decently responsive, definitely not as good as 10 (specially the file explorer), but it's barely noticeable 2bh. I found it interesting since I've tested 11 on more powerful and supported hardware and sometimes it feels way jankier, maybe it's because of 24H2 or I just got lucky with drivers. I made a in-place upgrade from 10 and it worked fine.Although it definitely feels like it eats just a bit more ram and CPU, even after doing some debloating with shutup10 but at least fans don't kick up more often than with 10

When games say they require w10 do they usually work on w11 too? Finally retiring my w7 machine and new lappy comes with 11. Never used it, probably just dual boot it with that Loonix that looks like w2k
>>102793646yes, internally 11 is still addressed as 10 kek
>>102793676
>>102793715incidentally, a huge portion of """""""""""""""hacks""""""""""" for getting games to work on w7 is just changing the windows version in registry to 10
Are things like optimize-offline not a thing for W11? I guess some builders still have their own tooling, but I wonder if there is anything like optimize-offline for it.

Is it true you're supposed to lower the desktop resolution before playing a game for better performance? Not talking about the game resolution, the desktop resolution.I can understand if it's running on borderless windowed fullscreen, but actual fullscreen? Does that matter at all?
>>102801270>Does that matter at allnope, the game should switch the resolution if you are running it fullscreen at lower than desktop resolution
>>102801321Yeah, the game itself changes the desktop resolution, right? I mean I'll be honest, I don't get why it has to do that either, why it's tied together, mostly because I see explorer.exe and game.exe as separate entities that don't rely on each other but maybe they doBut yeah, saw some dude talking about lowering desktop resolution as if it was giving the game more juice. He was a tech guy, too

Kind of a weird issue but ever since a recent update I've noticed a lot of my startup programs aren't launching when I start my PC anymore and I have to start them manually, despite still showing as enabled on the task manager startup tab. Anyone experienced this and/or know where I might start to troubleshoot?
How can I copy my entire C drive to a folder on another drive? I just want to ensure I have everything. When I just copy and paste it gives lots of access errors & other weird errors.
>>102801426If you don't want to deal with installing any external programs I usually do something like this>open elevated (admin) command prompt>C:>X: (where X: is the letter of the drive you wanna copy to)>mkdir [whatever]>cd [whatever]>robocopy C: X: /E /B /XJ /MT /R:0 /W:0Then let it go for a while. After it's done you can run the command again and it should skip any files that have already been copied and are unchanged since last run and quickly do anything it failed to copy or changed since last time.
>>102801417how long are you waiting for them to start up? windows has a lazy sort of startup mechanismAlso use autoruns from sysinternals, you can control them from in there>be careful with that thing tho
>>102801426>>102801444Oh actually after C: you may need to type "cd /" to change to the root of the drive first, forgot that.
>>102801455Even after a pretty long while they don't start where they were working fine before the update, I'll check out that program you mentioned though
>>102801461lots of intredasting tools in the sysinternals suite>please do not cause system asplode using them

Does the IoT LTSC version of Win11 come with all the AI bullshit? If so, is there a way to remove it completely?
So now "Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2", is effectively at its final version?
>>102803071At its final ISO release version. It'll now get monthly updates until late 2035 while staying frozen on 24H2.

Windows 11: Everything works, immediate compatibility with new input device, simple, polished, never need to troubleshoot anything, well made programs.Linux: programs look 20 years out of date, compatibility issues, need to troubleshoot often, dinky programs, still doesn't have features Windows has had for ages, many problems unsolvable until patched by devs, freeware ecosystem.Being on Windows is so nice compared to Linux.

Whatever the hell was in that latest Win 10 update completely fucked my laptop's ability to go to sleep... Every single time I try to put it to sleep, it crashes... Screen goes black, but it doesn't actually decrease power. All of the lights stay on and I can hear the fan spinning. Then it doesn't wake back up, have to hold the power button to hard reset. This used to happen occasionally, but now it's EVERY SINGLE TIME.I tried googling for results in the past week to see if anyone else is having an issue like this, but nothing came up. Any ideas?

I'm currently trying to install windows on a refurbished laptop from ebay, but the resolution is so small that I can't see any of the buttons on the bottom (especially accepting the EULA). How can I fix this?
>>102805947MS is actually very straight, the pride only comes from interns that MS kicks out after 2 years while the actual force comes from indians
>>102805813Yeah, it's disabledI haven't changed any of these settings in a long time, and they were working fine until the other day.
>>102805988what is the model of laptop? have you tried stuff like changing the power settings in BIOS to see if that changes?maybe check to see if any of the updates were driver updates and roll them back one by one?
>>102805984>Sirs and GaysGrimm.
>>102806066It's an old Asus Zenbook, like six years old. BIOS is up-to-date and I'm pretty sure I have all the power settings set for stability, but I'd have to look again. I've been having sleep issues for years, and I've tried all kinds of settings. It may not even be a sleep problem exactly... if I just close the lid for too long while it's running, that usually results in the same style of crash (black screen, lights on, fan running, but have to hard reset). I tried rolling back video drivers for several versions, but that didn't have an effect.
>>102806199sounds breddy bad, anon>maybe check chipset drivers? even if all you have are old ones from Asus they should still /werk/, maybe Asus has some odd thing in their build?
Well fuck it, I'll just install 10 and move on when everybody does. Seems simpler to do.
>>10280682410 drops support next year, why not 11? Tons of optimizations after 4 years of builds.
>>102806847Because, from the guide>The answer is always Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC and the reason why is because LTSC IoT has longer servicing support, ending in 2032 versus 2027 for non-IoT LTSC. There are no other differences between the two versions, outside of the activation methods. And I see no information for 11, I can wait.
..so, after a few month i decided to take the bait from microsoft in ugraded to win11 for free, so far it isnt that shit, but what are the hidden pitfalls, something i should check, etc?

>>102806968>Windows Media Player >3TB moosic folderAbsolute madman. Can it index and play from archives? If not I'm still stuck with foobar.
>>102806273I can check chipset drivers laterSometimes I wonder if it's a hard drive issue... because I have dropbox and I know if it's currently 'syncing' and I hit sleep, it will definitely crash. But after the latest update it's crashing even when not syncing, and even when HD activity is 0% in taskmanMaybe later I'll try closing the dropbox app entirely and see if that helps...

Is there any way to remove the old versions of tools like Snipping Tool and Paint on 11 LTSC, so I only have the new better Windows 11 versions?

>>102787215So long post, possibly torment of my own creation, but here goes;>been running off of a decent work laptop for better part of a decade now; got it for free and it's still fine for the most part, just lacking in terms of it being a laptop (eg, memory issues, especially when running VEGAS, occasional APPCRASH / BSOD)>see a PC online that's way too good of a deal to pass up (4060 + 5 5500 + all periphs for $780), take the dive>new PC arrives, defaults on W11, hate it, try to stick W7 on it [spoiler](spare me the lecture, I know the downsides, I don't care, I just want what I'm familiar with + just werkz, and I've never had a security issue in the years I've used it, compatibility issues mean nothing to me, I know you can just change the registry for most programs otherwise)[/spoiler]>it's not behaving at all, mess around with it for a while (main thing being that the keyboard / mouse drivers aren't installing from USB, even with the with rufus + motherboard USB driver things; while on desktop install it'd get part-way through then just refuse IIRC something to do with system language, but there was other things that I was eithe too tired to remember or give a fuck) - basically, at every turn fucking up in 'some way'>after 2 days of my free time (not as much as it sounds to be fair once waiting on downloads was accounted for, but still a solid few hours), decide to just send it to the local shop and let them deal with it; since I wanted them to buy a few other things from them like sort out some HDD's for storage (they offer them at a conditionally discounted rate) + do a check to make sure it wasn't burnt out after crypto or something (if it sounds too good to be true etc)>cut to today>phone call, goes along the lines of "yeah, everything seems fine but it's too new to run W7, wdywd">stinks of bullshit, go online, skim around seems bullshit, but now it's got me thinking[1/2]
[2/2]So here's my crossroads, in preferable order;1. Am I just missing something obvious here, and I can actually get W7 working? I've seen mention of wufuc, and I think that might be the solution to this issue - but at the same time, it doesn't change I can't get the initial install sorted myself, and I'm not sure what my bro is running into2. Should I trade in for slightly worse hardware just to get W7 working if that's the main problem? (This is more an emphasis on how much I don't want to do the next point)3. Is W10 to a point where it's not a complete bloated piece of shit? This is my absolute last resort since I'm an unapologetic stick in the mud, but I'd guess I could move across if it doesn't run like shit, if I can sort out a similar UI (currently on a W7 UxStyle + personal custom goatse windows icon in the bottom left because it makes me laugh) and not have 101 pieces of bloatware and unremovable spyware running in the background at all times.
>>102816035>>102816047>Anon is struggling to install Windows 7 on a new PC due to compatibility issues and is considering alternatives like downgrading hardware or switching to Windows 10.It's not 2009 anymore. Hope that helps.
>>102791057download more RAM
>>102816047I'd recommend to get the Windows 7 Gen 2 ISO off of Archive but it's still down, though I guess the next best thing would be to get a Windows 7 Enterprise ISO from massgrave and inject the Simplix update pack into it.
>>102816090Begrudgingly, it might be the case. How unbad can you make it these days out of 10? Is the ghost of Bill Gates sacrificed soul still going to try to monitor me to some degree, or has it finally been cleaned up.Not going to change me hating the everloving shit out of W10, or stop me from trying to constantly stick W7 back on it and I'm probably still going to stick with my W7top for day-to-day shitposting and browsing.>>102816126That was a thought process too, since Archive was down (hence me sending it to the shop). Apparently the issue is with the Motherboard itself (Busses are incompatible, first I've ever heard of such a thing), and it's crashing mid-install.
>>102816047Get Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC and read the OP. It's not that difficult. You are making things too hard for you. There is zero reason to even try running Windows 7 unless you are on an antique machine. Besides, why do you even need RTX 4060 if you want to run an old OS anyway?
>>102807807Anyone?
>>102816226>>>/g/sqt
>>102816226You could install either because IoT LTSC 2024 doesn't have any restrictions on hardware. So all comes down to wanting either 10 or 11.
>>102816241Which one do I want?
>>102816265That's for you to decide frenA 7th gen Intel Core doesn't technically meet the 11 requirements but like I said because of IoT LTSC 2024 not having requirements it doesn't matter.If you want to stay in the 10 ecosystem then use IoT LTSC 2021, simple as that.
What would happen if I disable TPM in my bios to prevent getting those w11 install pop-up on my W10?

I picked Germany when installing 11 iot ltsc and it still wouldn't let me uninstall Edge.
>>102817586Microsoft should be sued.
>>102817586There is no usecase for uninstalling Edge.Just forget about it.
>>102817613Retard, you should be ashamed.
>>102817654Okay anon, explain why you *need* to have Edge removed from the computer instead of just ignoring it/never opening it ever.
>>102816300You mean the real requirement or the made-up requirement?
>>102817613I'm only reporting this because the Massgrave page implies that Edge can be uninstalled in an EEA country. I nuked it with a powershell script out of spite btw.
>>102817676What do you mean real or made-up? At least a mid-range 8th gen Intel Core was the requirement MS set, mainly because of it dealing with Memory Integrity being on by default in such a way you don't notice it too much.

My grandpa just called me saying he "messed something up while trying to open his emails" and now "everything is wrong"I think he reset or logged out of his user or something, he seems to be missing his usual task bar icons and edge seems to be logged out/his history or bookmarks or whatever are missing.

>>102820386>I keep installing shit over shit which slows it down by a tiny bitWhat do you mean? Are you installing software just to test them out and leave them on your system?Here's what you do: take note of all software and settings and routines you do on a fresh install (ooshutup10, winutil, windows updates, drivers/SDIO, winget, office suites, etc). Then if you just download a shitton of software for shits and giggles or for giving them a try run, use the windows sandbox.
