No, it doesn't. Claiming this betrays a basic (but common) lack of understanding as to how Group Policy works.

>>103153445
it means the unpredictable nature of updates in GAC, unless you tweak the registry/group policy, which most normies will not know about. But yeah, maybe it should be more err... friendly!

>>103153461
Group Policies gets configured between NTLite and privacy.sexy. Why do I have to carefully select each option manually instead of automation with 0 chance of error and time wasted. Your explanation is redundant.

there's no such thing as a 100% removal, you just have to live with it. Having said that, you should use Enterprise since it has a group policy option to not send telemetry. Also shutup10 to reduce app connections, and privacy.sexy if you want even more

I have a problem with Git. Is this the right thread for that? If not, someone please tell me where I can ask this.

The issue I'm having is that I copied my project over to my laptop using a thumbdrive. My project files are fine, but the git repositories I took with them are not. Every action I can think of to take with the git repository results in a
>fatal: Invalid path 'C:/Users/[desktop username]': No such file or directory
How can I fix this? (No, config core.protectNTFS did not work, it ALSO resulted in the same error.)

Jokes aside, I do honestly miss this era. Extensions should interface into the browser, not the browser powering those extensions.

Portability depends on the program itself. Any program that relies on the registry will not be portable, and that is unfortunately a LOT of programs.
Most programs, if they are portable, either come in a zip file or some other compressed format, and do not use an installer(an obvious exception to self-extracting archives, which are a program.)
If a program normally has an installer but has a portable version, the website will usually have some sort of indication of this, IE: Git for Windows' has a portable option next to its installer download.

Rubbish, I've been writing programs that use the registry since before most of /g/ was born. The settings don't follow the EXE around of course, but they still work fine.
What you were probably trying to say is that programs that uses registered COM or something won't be portable.

Grizzling about how much Windows 12 sucks and how 11 was the GOAT.

>>103158557
I could tell you (it's only a few clicks), but I don't help LTNPCs as a rule.

Building a new PC and thinking about what OS to go for. Been using win10 for the past 8 years and havent the need to change. What with the end of service next year i was wondering if i should make the jump, problem is win11 just has so much bullshit attached to it im feeling comprehensive. Debloater came to mind but another issue is that the 24h2 is quite an important issue for me since im using a 9000 poomd cpu. If i get install win11 via one of the methods above, can i still install this specific patch without too many issues? Or should i just say fuck it and go with win10 here?

>>103160234
If you wanna stick with 10 then use IoT LTSC 2021 like usual. If you want to try 11 then use IoT LTSC 2024.

>>103160234
It's not nearly as important as it would be if you had one of Incel's shit.SHITTER abominations, but with the amount of software that's already not running on 10 LTSC (because it's 21H2), consider very carefully.
Since it's a desktop and you won't care about hibernation, you could just slap both into two VHDs and native boot them. Once you've figured out which one runs all your programs, delivers the best performance on your CPU, has the most solid drivers etc., you can just throw the other one into the local Recycle Bin.

While it is true that /most/ programs will operate to some extent, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're portable.
A portable installation is a self-contained installation which does not rely on anything that the OS provides, outside of system calls.
Under that definition, any program that uses the registry is NOT portable, as the registry hive violates the self-contained principle, and arguably isn't really a system call in the same way that OpenFile is either.

In most cases, it should be fine to have it in any directory and on any drive you want. A good program can be installed on any drive without consequence, and be moved around as you please. However, there are some edge cases. Some poorly written programs can't be stored on anything other than the C drive, but you can work around this by using a special command you'll have to look up. You'll need to use the /d switch on it. Some other slightly less poorly written programs will freak out if it's not the same folder as it was installed in. This happens for a variety of reasons. For example, Open Watcom compiler is bad about this, relying almost entirely on the path environment variable for its IDE. However, for the most part this is a minimal issue. Altering whatever it relied on, whether that be the path variable, or the registry, will cause it to work again, and it shouldn't be that much of a hassle.
Unless your program is a paid program some sort of identifying factor like a serial key, you should also be copy it over to another computer and it'll work "well enough." Generally though, it's better to just run the installer on the new computer, rather than relying on copying, because of the aforementioned registered COMs and other potential dependencies that don't get carried over by just copying the program's directory over to a new computer.

I didn't spend that much time retrying attempt 10, I just was busy with something else.
I'm pissed that somehow THAT got through, but https://litter.catbox.moe/oqfzjy.txt didn't.

If I install Windows 7 to an old computer and copy over C:\Users\me from another old computer will it carry over browser/desktop/etc stuff?

I haven't used VirtualBox daily in almost a decade, and I hope it's changed, but back in the day the whole "automatic logon and start your VMs on Windows" thing was a barely-functional hack.
But to be fair, USB support was a barely-functional hack on VBox for most of its lifespace, so...

>>103161581
USB has been working well for me. The whole reason I have it is because I need windows to configure USB peripherals I have. Set and tinker kinda thing

>>103161552
Well, firstly, if it's drag+drop, you need to make a user account first BEFORE doing that. The system doesn't recognize an account from that directory alone, despite how nice that would be...
It will keep the documents but the programs are very iffy. There is a LOT of data that isn't kept in there, notably the registry stuff. That said, if it's JUST the user folder, then you don't seem terribly intent on trying to restore the programs right off the bat.
You'll just have to remember to go into the folder properties and force ownership of the files over to the new account.
(I had a file for that last part but unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows 7.)

>>103162514
The monthly update rolls around at the second Tuesday of every month, which is pretty much the only kind of update that needs you to reset the computer for it to finish. November's is coming later in the day today.
Otherwise you can use group policies to make it that Windows Update either downloads updates then lets you install them when you want or make it entirely manual. Updates are pretty boogeyman'd by some people and it isn't really that hard to deal with.

last time i tried win11 ltsc it was still the cracked version and the fans were very loud for no reason.
when i reinstalled win11 home it was all back to normal.

i'm guessing it's because the cracked version was outdated, because i had my drivers updated.

so the question is: should i try to install win11 ltsc now that it's official? do you guys think it's optimized?

and on another note, should i try win10 ltsc even tho i prefer win11 ? maybe it's better optimized

Hi, what's the best time to partition windows?
I mean, when I get promoted to install it in the beginning? by creating a second partition and installing windows to the first partition
Or just install windows to the single partition, and after getting things complete, use disk management to shrink the C: drive and re allocate the remaining space?
Sorry if this is confusing, dad is boomer and used to the C/D/E/F format.

The main benefit of LTSC is the lack of annoying updates, it's meant to be stable. The debloated aspect is kinda arguable because you can still debloat a GAC edition yourself and get more or less the same results, same with telemetry and stuff, so in the end it depends on whether you want a stable Windows when it comes to updates or you're fine with them

Just moved to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and it's ass in so many ways, for instance take the folder UI, the section I painted in red is the same color of the section above but you can only drag the folder on the section above, so you will often be dragging that area I painted red thinking it's one area with the section above since it's continuos and of the same color but in fact they are 2 separate areas, 1 draggable and the other below non draggable. But there's no visual indication or separation that they are in fact 2 separate areas.

I personally don't think Windows 12 is either near or is going to be good, XP, 7 and 10 existed because their predecessors were so universally hated that MS was essentially forced to make a new version. I don't think 11 has reached those levels of hate yet, maybe in the tech bubble but normies are more or less ok with it, so I think 11 is in this grey area were MS knows it's not loved, but most people will eat it eventually, so I'm not confident that the jeets at MS have learned a single lesson to apply to 12

>>103169035
It still has a below 40% use rate two or so years later while 10 is still like 70/65%. The only people using 11 are people that had Windows Update force it on them and having no idea how to change back, people that brought new PCs that came with it and certain people that decided to use it on their new home builts.

>>103169035
Is it worth a checkout for any sort of permission controls? Don't like 10 or 11 much, but they exist. I just want to be able to control lots of permissions across lots of user environments.

>>103168972

Is there a way to enable RAID-5 on win10 IoT LTSC or do I have to run Windows server 2022 IoT for this shit?

>>103171154
You need to use Windows Server if you want to use RAID-5 natively with Disk Management. Otherwise on non-Server editions you'd need to use Storage Spaces to make a storage pool with parity.

>>103170553

There's a group policy you can set to disable it. Also to answer your question, it's Microsoft's "new" AI bloat search thing. It's useless.
You can also just remove it from the taskbar with the right click menu.

>>103171344
Yeah it's not as efficient as a pure RAID-5. So if you want that, you gotta use Server.

>>103171381
I'd also recommend to disable it in the background apps section in Settings

After several years, I want to reinstall Windows 10. I built the PC myself, so it didn't come with any OEM software and stuff. Given that, using "reset this PC" in Windows 10 would be identical to using the Media Creation Tool USB, right?

Is Win 11 LTSC worth trying? Reading so many horror stories about Win 11 24H2, not sure what to think.

>>103178127

no, it's not.
not 100% sure on the specifics but basically you have an option with USB to clean install, which would wipe and rebuild every partition, while "reset this PC" there's like 1 partition that doesn't get wiped, i'm uncertain if it's the bios or something
i'd recommend USB and clean install ofc

Just finished setting up Windows 11 IoT LTSC in a VM.
Need it for development, to make sure stuff compiles on Windows. Installed OpenSSH Server on it, so i can SSH into PowerShell and do thing without ever looking at a GUI.

But the GUI isn't even too laggy inside the VM (without GPU passthrough). Had to disable all the eyecandy of course, but it is usable. Pretty nice that Microsoft offers this less-bloated version.

>>103182427
MS offers the LTSC versions of Windows for lower power PCs that don't need all the bloat of a typical GAC install. There's a reason why most recommend it as the edition to use on your own computer, especially with how easy it is to freely activate.

>>103182457
Also to say that LTSC is advertised to businesses and industry as an OS for medical machinery or ATMs, as the buyers just load up all the shit that needs to be for the machine's purpose. With the happy accident that you can use it on home PCs more then fine.

Windows 11's "requirements" of Kaby Lake and Zen+ are because they're the first CPUs that support MBEC/GMET, which massively speed up user<->kernel mode switches (30-40% is the figure I keep seeing).
This is how you know how many poors are using bypasses to install 11 on their povertyboxes - because they're all screaming how much VBS, Core Isolation etc. (all of which switch context frequenty) slows down their 2500Ks. Why they don't just dumpster-dive for a Kaby while out shoplifting is beyond me.

today my external hdd suddenly disappeared from windows. if I unplug it I still hear the windows device unplugged sound, and I don't see any errors in device manager. it initially was totally gone, but after unplugging it and plugging it back in, I got it to show up in my computer, albeit in a broken state. but the really weird thing is if I try to open something that interfaces with drives, like partition manager or crystaldiskinfo, they just hang and can't open properly, like trying to get info about the hdd is killing them somehow. I tried plugging it into a different usb port just in case, but no dice. the only thing I've done today is install samsung magician and change my ssd from standard to full performance mode, but I don't know why that would kill an unrelated external hdd. any ideas?

If I restart the PC, they work again and after a while it goes back to not working. If I don't do anything (close all programs/windows,etc) the thumbnails start working again though.
I thought that it might be a recent update so I wanted to ask here first.
This is Win10 Education 22H2 19045.5131

Tried every "solution" out there and only got temporary fixes before it shitting the bed again. The final solution I went with was to give up on File Explorer and just download JPEGView.

You sure it's not your drive just shitting the bed?
By chance, is it a Crucial MX?

Pretty popular SSD, I had a similar problem with mine a while back and it got solved by updating its firmware

Oh thanks anon. Every bit of advice prior was "check this" "delete that" "run this script in command." I'll give this a shot.

Mine is WD black. I went to the the update window and there was an update for WD drives. After installing it, apparently the problem got fixed so far.
