The dumpster was my company's server closet with 15 years of old hardware, and zero extra pay.
I didn't think this thing was *that* old, but I think it's still pretty decent.

Drives are finally wiping, DBan refused to work but ShredOS seems to work and have the exact same functionality.

I forgot to mention this, but I also grabbed a cheap PCIe to M.2 adapter and a Chinese special 500 gig NVMe to act as the boot drive. I'm thinking of running RAID 10, three groups of two drives, giving me 1.5TB of storage. I've also ran RAID 5 before on an even older server but those drives bit the dust 4 months in.

what do i use to mount .mds files, daemon tools?

If I connect to the VPN while an SMB share is mounted, it tanks the performance of the file explorer badly. Thumbnails take about 20 seconds to load. These images aren't in a network share either, they are in a local directory, but the mere presence of an SMB share while connected to a VPN makes everything shit the bed.

continuing, I had to go do some other stuff
I managed to fix my USB stick, I'll explain the issue below
However, on drive selection screen, the installer doesn't detect any drives.
I have an empty SSD prepared for windows, do I need to configure it to FAT on my linux OS so the installer can detect it? I did some googling and someone suggested providing the driver on the USB (Intel RST)

TLDR use terminal
The problem with the USB was that the ISO got corrupted during copying the ISO onto Ventoy (has something to do with how linux manages copying and buffering). The solution was to use terminal for each step: copying the ISO, unmounting the drive and ejecting it. The checksum was correct and I was able to start the setup.
Also, this was the reason for 3 identical ISOs: I incorrectly copied the file, tried again and again, but Ventoy has a hidden trash folder for deleted files, so despite me deleting them they still appeared during boot.

I once manually updated after checking any possible incompatibilities with my configuration. After updating I got bluescreens and eventually I wasn't able to boot or even restore 23h2. Fortunately, I backed up all important data, so I was fine besides the hassle of reinstalling everything.
A few days after I finished, it turned out that the my WD SN770 caused the problems. I updated the firmware now, but windows still isn't proposing the 24h2 update. I won't do it manually again, as there might be other unannounced compatibility issues.

Does anybody know how to fix the "This app has been blocked by your system administrator." error when opening UWP applications?
I thought it could be an easy gpedit fix but enabling/disabling store apps there doesn't fix the issue.

>>102955724
Further clarifying, the UWP applications were reinstalled using the appx/msix bundles from https://store.rg-adguard.net/ I'm using a custom W11 EnterpriseG image I made with files from MDL. Since it's the G version I thought it'd be just a group policy thing but I can't seen to fix it. I can't open the apps even when using the built in administrator account.

Storage HDD is in poor health. I have a backup just in case, and I already bought a new, larger drive.
What's the best Windows software to clone the current drive onto the new one? It's all just documents and images; my OS and programs are on another drive.
Or would standard Windows copy+paste be good enough even if I'm copying terabytes?

Is there a way to change the name of the folder where a Steam game is directly installed under?

So, I have a Task Scheduler question - I have a small exe that composes a report and sends out an email. It's invoked by Task Scheduler and has been working without issue every day for years. I recently replaced the exe with a modified version, and it no longer runs. Task Scheduler launches, stays on Running for an hour, and then closes (without the exe appearing to run at all in Task Manager). If I run the exe manually, I get the report, so the program itself works, but for whatever reason it doesn't work if Task Scheduler tries to run it.

The main change to the file is that it replaces a hard coded group address with a list of addresses from a text file. I'm wondering if maybe the fact that the program reads a file from disk somehow messes Task Scheduler up.

Any ideas?

The earlier version was the same except it didn't get the list of email addresses from the text file and instead just had them baked into the program.

C++ using winsock. I'm actually pretty familiar with C++, not so much with winsock, but, again, it works perfectly if I run the exe directly - it's specifically when Task Scheduler calls it that it doesn't work, and only the new one, so I don't think it's a problem with the program.

I was curious if there's some known Task Scheduler quirk with it having problems with, say, a file that it launches reading from disk or something like that. Because this feels like a problem with Task Scheduler more so than the program itself.

If you're worried about file attributes though, then you'll need a different option. Robocopy could work, it has options to preserve file attributes and whatnot.

Permissions are on. Restarting the photo app right now, maybe that'll fix it.

>>102970325
Eh, if someone wants to fuck around with a server in the third person, that's what this is for. Eventually if there's enough interest and I have enough mooneis, I could get a dedicated business line for anons to mess around themselves.
I might make a domain and have all my old XP or Win2K machines join it.

That made me realize that Titus just went out there and say that Recall is a dependency without actually proving it, and even after being called out, his response video doesn't even show that it breaks FE the way he says it does, and that made me lose a lot of trust in that nigga

I'd say check the lock screen and notification settings to see if there's anything you can disable.

>>102979130
You'll be fine. IIRC AMD doesn't really care that much about e-core shit besides their own version of it that their most very recent models have that I have no idea how 10 would use them.

>>102946022
can anybody explain how Recall isn't a glaring security issue?
seriously. it's not even about an AI watching you jack off, this shit is looking at your e-banking and all sorts of things that are supposed to be confidential.

how the fuck is this ok? how is there not a single country banning this?

>>102979152
I'm pretty sure AMD's system doesn't require special scheduling like Intel's e-core stuff does.

>>102979407
Its original form was way worse but businesses actually got angry about it and got MS to make it opt-in and actually encrypt the Recall snapshots instead of originally making them plain text like retards. Also you seemingly need an ARM64-compatible PC with AI-focused cores for it to work properly.
But yeah, it's an absolutely terrible idea of a system that is pretty much just a privacy nightmare, no wonder the business got mad.

>>102979408
if you have multi ccds you need gamebar to schedule the cores for you or you have to do it manually with task manager/process lasso.

if its a single ccd aka 5800x3d then it just works no additional software required.

>>102979407
it is a security issue but microsoft is banking in you not disabling several security features like tpm/pluton/secureboot/coreisolation/etc so bad actors cant get it anyways.

Didn't come with my 24H2 install, though I'm on Home edition and I used the automatic installer

I don't know how to explain my issue.
randomly, some time after startup, my monitor will lose focus for a moment. this usually only happens once per boot but I'm very confused what is causing it.
it doesn't matter what I have open, even if it's nothing, it will happen. the best way to describe the loss of focus is that it's like I pressed print screen and the snipping menu and frame around the monitor shows up.
is this just windows taking a snapshot of my screen or what? because it's so hard for me to describe I don't know how to search for possible solutions either.

Windows 11 Pro, has happened since first install, but currently 23H2. cpu 7800x3d, gpu 4070. it might just be the monitor? xv282k acer 32" 4k.

if anybody knows how to stop this from happening or how to describe the issue better so I can search better, it's driving me nuts.

because data security regulations are a joke in the US, however, I still don't think it's some illuminati conspiracy by the glowies, this is just MS trying to win the AI wars with classic MS tactics, they're trying to shove as much AI so after decent AI regulations start coming, they get to keep a lot of their shit

Not all is bad doe, a lot of people are still making noise, Recall is still optional, it's "supposed" to be local only and ARM only (for now), and it shouldn't be on by default, along with "security" things they did to protect the snapshots

Having said that, all those layers of security might as well make it less convenient so it dies faster than Cortana, an eventual win!

Thank you faggots so much, finally on watermark and no more shit BING background images

My dad's Galaxy Book2 is getting a really odd issue. The bluetooth disconnects few seconds after no audio is played. It'll stay connected as long as there a sound playing, but the moment he, for example, switches from one video in one tab to something else, it may (or may not) just disconnect.
This is driving him mad, because I was the one who suggested the laptop because the one he was using was genuinely a really bad experience and I'd like for him to at least use something decent enough to browse the web.
I can only check his laptop when I'm visiting my family so I can't really do a deep diagnosis or try it out to check whether it really is the laptop or the bluetooth adapter in my own time.
What can I do to figure out and fix this issue? I'd appreciate as many suggestions as possible so I can do one after the other when I get the chance.

I previously installed a wrong version of Windows 10 and am now trying to install the IoT LTSC 2021 and then install Windows Ameliorated onto it. However, when I get to:

>2. Right-click the previously downloaded ISO file and select Open With -> File Explorer

>3. Open This PC in File Explorer, and remember the ISO's drive letter (e.g. H) for the next step. The drive should look similar to Windows Setup icon CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-GB_DV9

>4. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog

I get the error "windows setup cannot find location to store temporary installation files" and the setup closes. What should I do?

>>102995481
Why not just do a clean reinstall?

>>102995558
That's what I'm trying to do. This was the recommended method on Ameliorated.io's guide, so I'm trying it first to make sure I won't screw anything before installing the AtlasOS.

You can use that Change Office Edition option in MAS to just download Office now?

>>102996089
Yes, just did it yesterday.
Whole 2024 LTSC ProPlus + Project Pro 2024+ Visio Pro LTSC 2024.
Use add option, because it deletes other ones if you change instead of add.

>>102996137
Interesting. Didn't know that.
So this is from a blank slate with no Office installed already?

>>102996156
Not sure about that, I tried different stuff before installing it from MAS, but I am pretty certain it will work even without previous install because it just downloads the thing anyway and installs from zero if you "Change edition".
At least when working with 2024 edition.

When you can very easily freely activate in multiple ways why deal with it?

I do like it but feels weird on W10 ltsc

>>102996296
Nobody will berate you for using Windows 11

Did you mess with your installation or the registry recently?

>>102996356
Nope just a windows update on Friday.
Went to check the network adapter wifi is disabled. Attempting to re-enable does nothing either

for what purpose

>>102996424
Guess the best you could do is just re-install your OEM model or mobo's wireless driver?

>>102996594
i like gnome

>>102950486
i have more physical games than you have these shovelwares sit the fuck down chud

I made a bootable Windows USB using Ventoy, but when trying to install windows I get "A media driver your computer needs is missing" error. How do I fix this?

>>102996594
Tiling windows is the only good shit it has

>>102996669
Last time I used a Ventoy to install IoT LTSC 2021 I formatted it as GPT/exFAT with secure boot support and I could install it fine, so you might need a chipset driver for your mobo or OEM model if it barely even lets you into the setup.

Yes, I just disabled everything but tiling windows.

Maybe reply to the original poster, anon.

>>102989830
Yes, the speedtest shows the right speed. I'm just getting slow download speeds specifically on this one site (cdromance)

>>102995684
Oh I meant, clean install from a usb drive via rufus or ventoy

>>102996137
Does it let you pick and choose which office apps you want? For example, just word, ppt, excel, and outlook?
