How to get Steam to actually launch games on XP or Vista?

There are dozens of guides to get Steam and its games working successfully, and this used to work for a while back for a few years after they dropped support in 2019. But recently, you simply cannot launch ANY game because they're all stuck in a "Update Queued" state, even if the games were up to date. Pressing the "Verifying Integrity of Game Content" option also triggers this and cannot be escaped. Copying the game files from a new PC's OS to the old one doesn't fix this either, and launching the game directly from the common folder doesn't work anyway because it launches it through Steam.

This is a true dead end for XP/Vista, because it seems Steam HAS to somehow connect to its servers and verify the game files, where the old shared build doesn't have any provisions for it. Unless there's a solution?

There was a leddit post that mentioned "spoofing" Steam by using a connection to a modern PC as a proxy, but I couldn't find the post and I don't know if it actually worked out or not.

fyi I already do have a W10 PC with Steam installed, but I want to get Steam working on the older OS laptop for personal reasons.

If you suspect it's Thunderbird, resend the verification and check outlook web. If it is not in outlook web, then it won't be Thunderbird. The only possible problem would be the website.
I had a problem where I was not getting login links from Eventbrite, and I kept trying, thinking it was either thunderbird or my web email. After contacting support, it turns out my email was blocked from them due to some reason. i would recommend contacting their customer support if you're not getting it in either thunderbird or your web client (also check spam first).

- Can I free upgrade from 10 to 11 with the same license key?

- How many GB should I dedicate to my C: system partition?

- I see there are 3 options to install:
>a. Perform a Full Upgrade, which keeps personal files (including drivers), apps, and Windows Settings. This is the default experience and is the one that Installation Assistant uses.
>b. Keep Data Only will keep personal files (including drivers) only, not apps and not Windows Settings.
>c. Clean Install will install Windows 11 and keep nothing from the Windows 10 installation. For more info, see Give your PC a Fresh Start.
I think last tried reinstalling with keeping programs, lots of stuff behaved weirdly. Is it handled better now, or is better to do a fresh clean install?

>>103200873
You can upgrade to 11 for free legitimately from an activated 10 install, yes.
And yes it's best to clean wipe your target drive with diskpart while in the setup USB before installing to it so nothing goes wrong.

>>103200894
Why use Diskpart instead of that "Clean Install" option which should automate this?

>>103200908
diskpart's "clean" command wipes a disk the most thoroughly. You can get to a command prompt with shift+f10 within the setup to use it.
The thing I do is get to the drive select screen, notice how the drives are numbered, then load up diskpart and clean the disk I wanna install to. Then just refresh the listings and select the new unallocated space.

Usually for customer service support, you wouldn't need to login, though you would need to provide your email. When I had trouble with Eventbrite, I contacted support using my gmail, and made sure to mention that I had problem with my outlook email. Customer support usually happens via email regardless of account status.
But yeah, most business would have a support or contact us page at the bottom of the site.

My Windows 10 Pro license of 10+ years dropped off after I switched to Linux and swapped out a motherboard. I don't use Windows much anymore, but I do keep it around to play games that still remain finnicky with Linux. Would this be a good time to sidegrade to the LTSC build?

>>103201612
When you switch the motherboard that a modern Windows install had beforehand the license will disappear. And sure, install IoT LTSC 2024 and just keep it around so you have a modern Windows install to play games on that's very bloat free.

did the latest win10 update fuck with the taskbar color? i swear it used to have more contrast but now on darkmode it's a godawful #000000 which makes it less visually clear than something like a dark grey especially considering MS's autistic obsession with flat design and no drop shadows so you can never see fucking edges
and for whatever reason it's impossible to change the taskbar color without changing the whole windows "accent color" which is pretty retarded

I just installed win10 iot ltsc and ran the updates. Why the fuck is there "Meet Now" in my taskbar?

I'm rocking a very old Windows 10 install and I don't know which update caused this exactly, but I find that some folders and files are read only and unsetting them simply doesn't work (it doesn't fail, just has no effect). I have full ownership of said items, and Controlled folder access is off.

so is it just generally better to run windows 10 still or does windows 11 have anything going for it? if I do a new build can I still use an old windows 7 key or am I better off just using the script and version in the OP?

>>103206716
New builds (as in new hardware) should run W11 because of better stability and support, but performance is still a tiny bit worse than W10.

>>103206744
great, thanks for clarifying. and is there anything to know about the recommended version aside from it missing a lot of the bloat features nobody wants anyway and (I assume) letting you control the rest more closely with group policy etc? the thing that had me most hesitant about win 11 was to hear people talk about it like a telemetry platform more than an OS

Just wanted to say thank you to the anons who make and contribute to these generals.

Any recommendations on what software to use to move files in the same partition?

>>103209570
It means that 10's CPU scheduler doesn't treat e-cores like e-cores, but as just a typical core pool. If you want to use the e-cores then use IoT LTSC 2024 which uses 11 (which supports e-cores properly.)

>>103209594
Most people seem to like AOMEI's partitioner, or MiniTool.

>>103209605

>>103209626
estrogen cores are weaker than p cores, they exist for lighter tasks and lower power consumption, but Windows assumes they're the same, putting the same load on them as with the p cores, that might sound catastrophic but in reality the difference in performance between W10 and W11 is almost negligible, maybe power consumption is the actual issue but most people don't care unless you're on laptop

Yeah, running your programs on E-cores that only have 60% of the go of P-cores is so negligible.
Friendly reminder that this is the same LTNPC who screamed for YEARS when Microsoft didn't backport the Ryzen scheduler to LTSC 2019, costing him just 8% performance.

Why is defender bad? I thought it's a good thing assuming you're not retarded and installing everything you see on the internet under the sun.

>>103211205
From what I've noticed, there's 2 main problems with defender, it's still not great and it's pushed to user in the same classic Microsoft style.

For known threats it's good, but behavioral protection is ass even with all that cloud shit and sending hashes of your files that it only seems like an excuse to gather more telemetry and eat more resources. And because it's an MS product, you just know it will do shit even if you don't want it and you can't even uninstall it, so there's that.

So, as an AV it's ok, but MS likes to take advantage of every shit they can to lock you up

>>103211297
What's a good alternative AV then, besides just running your browser through a sandbox?

>>103211301
right now Bitdefender, Kaspersky was up there but you know what happened, although some anons will argue that for the average user just running Malwarebytes from time to time is enough.

Better behavioral protection is when you want to protect yourself from stuff that's harder to detect like ransom and botnets, but to be fair, if you know what shit not to click, you're not THAT exposed really, so if MS you can put up with MS shenanigans then defender is still "fine"

With sandboxie, you can install the software inside and create a shortcut that allows you to just launch the app in a sandbox

Should I do it? The looming end of security updates for 10 is making me consider it, but I wonder just how fucked it is from a privacy perspective (yes I know 10 sucks too, I'm a normie for most of this shit).
Should I just upgrade?

>>103213045
All you need to do to make 10 or 11 more respecting of you is to change your edition to Enterprise with MAS, re-activate with HWID (also with MAS), then download ShutUp10 and enable its recommended settings to disable all the telemetry garbage and such.
Overall 11 is very, very similar to 10 on the backend. The UI is different, the Settings app looks different and some extra features have been added but otherwise it's still pretty 10-esque.

>>103213068
So essentially it's just 10 but I need to disable all the telemetry shit all over again? I guess that's not so bad.

>>103213077
The settings that've already been set will stay set after you let the Windows Update derived 11 update go through. You can always just check again yourself though, just keep in mind that some settings are in different places. Though you could always just check your registry to see that all the keys that disable the telemetry and shit are still there.

>>103213097
>Though you could always just check your registry to see that all the keys that disable the telemetry and shit are still there.

With LTSC you don't really need to debloat anything. You could even end up breaking stuff. Just disable telemetry in the GPO and you're good to go. Or even just use Shutup10 if you're really lazy.
>Is there any reason at all to ever consider using 2024 LTSC or w11 in general?
Only if your hardware is very new, like having an AM5 cpu or similar. Other than that you'll get the same performance on both. I recently tried LTSC 2024 and while my experience was mostly the same than with 2021 I really couldn't withstand the UI so went back to the later. Your choice and preference really.

I have a laptop with Windows 10 and I want to format it completely so it can take a cloned disk image of Windows 7 from another laptop, what's the best way to format the Windows 10 laptop completely? I don't want to retain any file, I just want to erase everything completely. I remember when I downgraded from Windows 11 to Windows 10 I think I did ''factory reset''? The problem is that it put all the Windows 11 files in a folder called ''old.Windows'' or something, I don't want that. I want complete erasure of the disk, tabula rasa!

>>103216812
necessary, no. less risk for human error, yes.

>>103211120
>disabling auto updates on windows is basically mandatory
How do you do that? The OP's pastebins have nothing on update blocking. I reinstalled LTSC today and I forgot how I blocked windows from checking for updates altogether years back.

>>103218082
without taking the disk out of the laptop, you can use a Windows installation media and use diskpart to erase everything in it, alternatively, there's other cool options like rescuezilla and Hiren's boot CD that have tools to wipe disks

I'm going back to Windows 10 Professional.

How to get winget on win10 LTSC IoT?
Also would anyone be kind to offer the output of this

winget export --all

>>103219628
sir?

>>103219696

choco install winget

>>103219607
All versions from 2013 and up are serviceable imo, it's just that newer versions are quite more bloated, but if you don't mind then use 2021 or 2024

>>103219696
Easiest way is to use the winget-install script which you can get from PSGallery. Installs winget and its dependencies.

>>103222162
Doesn't seem to be? You can just get it from DeviantArt.
Apparently it doesn't work on 11 because it reverts the icons right away, but it probably works on 10 fine.

>>103217603
Sometimes it's not a lost cause though, but it typically becomes something you need special tools for. Pro data recovery can do more than you can do at home because they can desolder the flash and bypass the controller and read directly.

Some times the flash is just "forgotten" from the controller's POV but not overwritten or fully zero'd physically so if you have anything seriously important you're trying to recover it's beyond the scope of what you can do at home but potentially not 100% gone.
I would not get your hopes up but in the future remember this and consider SSDs to be more like volatile storage.

Might be a good idea to set up SyncThing on your SSD user data folders to sync it to a local NAS with versioning and snapshots so you can have your "undeletes" by visiting a NAS or you could even do it with an external USB HDD.

Do I understand it correctly that IoT LTSC 2021 won't be able to update WSL version past what it ships with?

>>103222436
As long as the latest version of WSL doesn't require 22H2 or above then it should be fine.

>>103218082
diskpart > clean is enough for any non-forensic purpose (i.e. it will act exactly like it's entirely blank, but file recovery software would still work)

You can use "clean all" to wipe the partition data then zero the drive as well if you need that

And what's powershell gallery?
Thanks I'll test this, can you get me the .json file from winget export?
I thought instead of using something like ninite, updating and installing applications through winget is better.

can windows be used without doing that initial update we usually do after installing?
do drivers come from the .iso or the updates?

>>103224500
Powershell Gallery is MS's official PS script repository.

>>103224530
Generic drivers come with the ISO during install. You can technically use it just fine before Windows Update gets more drivers that aren't generic.

what is the longest that windows updates can be paused?

from the gui we can choose to delay up to 3 months, but it can be delayed again once you are closer to that period then choose to delay another 3 months

but you have to do it manually, any way to make this so it simply does not update unless you choose to?

>>103224619
35 days* lmao

>>103224619
let me ask this question instead :
is it true that we can indefinitely delay updates from the gui by repeatedly pausing them for 35 days but we can only do that when we're nearing the end of that period?
or am I wrong?

Why in particular do you want to stop the monthly updates from installing?

i'm about to reinstall windows on my 2020 legion 5. windows got corrupted and it's full of bloat. absurd. there is like 5gb of BS processes running on startup. windows is such trash compared to macos or linux.

if I wasn't tight on cash I'd get rid of thing thing and buy a mac air.


thanks bros.

>>103225208
Make sure when you re-install Windows to open up the command prompt in the setup (shift+f10) to run diskpart's clean command against your target install drive so you have a completely clean install from the start. Also recommended to use the LTSC version, or get a basic 10/11 install ISO from the MS website and add this answer file >>103224934 to it.
https://github.com/memstechtips/UnattendedWinstall

>>103225247
thanks brother. I need a clean install. this machine is so fucked somehow. tried to do a restore point, and it failed, now I can't open anything on the taskbar or launch from the windows key.

>>103225364
IoT LTSC 2021 or 2024, your choice really.
Both install very debloated but you'll need to run a tool like ShutUp10 to automagically set a bunch of registry keys and disable some services.

>>103225378

but

It didn't work for me, kept throwing error about permessions, the github page has no explanation.
So I used this
https://github.com/asheroto/winget-install?tab=readme-ov-file#method-2---one-line-command-runs-immediately
Kinda dangerous running online scripts randomly like that
Nice thing about it, it scanned the machine for applications installed, despite using manual installation.
Linux doesn't have that.
And winget as application lacks a lot of documentaion.

winget upgrade

just list what packages that can be upgraded, and have to pass --all to make it work, i haven't found this in their page.
BTW does this auto install MS store?

>>103224538
>Generic drivers come with the ISO during install
So should I install those updates or only if something doesn't work?
Because I have several updates for drivers (BT,WiFi, some intel chip things, and lenovo firmware)
But I didn't update because well, I installed those drivers from the laptop manufacture website.

>>103224934
Can you get winget to install things with it?

>>103225247
>un diskpart's clean command against your target install drive so you have a completely clean install from the start.
Why not use the installer disk partition tool?

>>103225368
winget has better repo, and it's ms certified.

>>103230644
Yeah by default powershell blocks scripts, to get pass that (one time thing otherwise you'll have to set your execution policy), run:

powershell -ep bypass winget-install -Force

However since you've already installed winget, keep that cmd tucked somewhere for next time. I should've mentioned that earlier, sorry bwo.

>>103230667
Doesn't clean it as throughly. Leaves stray partition data.

>>103230694
Thanks, I guess that's sudo for windows.
Shutup10 or privacy.sexy(which settings)?
For Win 10 LTSC IoT

>>103230755
What partition data?
just delete and start over.

>>103225435
If you want to stay on 10, the former. Want to try 11, the latter.

>>103230644
>BTW does this auto install MS store?
It doesn't, though you can install store apps with it. For example

winget search thunderbird

will give you the MS store ID for thunderbird, then you can run

winget install 9PM5VM1S3VMQ

.
If you want MS store, then you'll have to run

wsreset -i

>>103230757
Nah, sudo for windows is just running a program as administrator afaik.
Both shutup10 or privacy.sexy are okay, I would go with recommended settings for both (called standard on privacy.sexy). I myself use shutup10 but you can see the source code of the script you're running with privacy.sexy.

Is it wise to disable driver updates in group policy if we're going to install drivers via SDIO? Or is it better to install the generic drivers first and then SDIO?

>>103232105
The generic drivers that came with the ISO would already be in use, but if you're gonna install all your drivers using SDIO that it would be safer to disable Windows Update from installing drivers.

I'm upgrading to am5/ryzen 9000 soon, so i was thinking of also upgrading winblows to 11. I've heard some time ago that iot ltsc can affect gaming compatibility due to infrequent updates and possibly drivers not being compatible, so for gaming purposes regular ltsc should be better, right?

>>103233719
>Infrequent updates
It gets monthly cumulative updates like GAC editions
>Drivers not being compatible
Haven't heard this. As of now 11 LTSC is basically the same as 11 GAC when it comes to updates and backends.

>>103233870
I was talking about the iot version, not regular. I know regular ltsc works fine but I was looking into iot because it comes more bloat free but heard it had some downsides, or at the very least, the win 10 iot ltsc did.
Honestly I don't really want to upgrade, but I know I have to soon or later, and i figured I might as well upgrade os since im changing mobo and cpu.

>>103234403
Syncthing is more for local sync between multiple computers/servers and such that you own. For cloud storage managing probably best to just use rclone.

>>103234301
your gpu is too shit to run 4k

>>103234459
That is true, which is why I usually set my resolution to 1440p. But it still feels choppy and somewhat unplayable. Even though I can run games at framerstes higher than 60fps

>>103234470
>Even though I can run games at framerstes higher than 60fps
ya, but is the framerate stable?
Run on 1080p and lowest settings you can manage and try both vsync on/off and if that resolves your "feels choppy", you know that it isn't on the 75hz.

1440p still has 1.8 times the pixels of 1080p.
Higher resolution doesn't just come with higher GPU work, but also with higher chosen LODs which have higher texture resolution. The larger texture has to somehow get into the GPU, which could get you a choppy frame when it loads them.

That's why all the scammers are so hard into upscaling.

I need to install a fresh copy of windows on a new internal disk. All I have is a working windows machine but no usb storage devices.
Can I somehow install new windows from another windows?

Rufus has an option to create windows-to-go drive, are there any downsides of using it for internal drive other than disabled feature updates (irrelevant on ltsc)

Why does it feel like the team working on windows is tiny as fuck now? I feel like it legitimately might just be like two guys, one trans thing, and one fat woman. When you look at the changelogs of insider things they are always presented by the same fat piggy woman, and usually boil down to adding like two meme changes that end up buggy and worthless for everyone except for like 0.05% of users that care about the niche shit they added.

Can I set the mpv icon instead of the removed media player?

half those apps are bloat, what's the use case to use LTSC a minimal build of windows with no preinstalled apps, and then shit it up with a bunch of third party spyware and bloatware that jizzes all over your registry, file explorer, task scheduler, windows firewall rules, and everything else.

Bloat?
You use edge?

How the FUCK do I remove Office RT Tool? The automatic activation keeps running (turns on the terminal and tries to activate MS Office) every few weeks. I got better permanent Office ohook activation from this thread, how the fuck do I get rid of shitty RT Tool? There's no option for turning it off (see pic), there's nothing on Rtool's github.

I suppose you can with registry hacks but the thing is that a lot if not most apps have the C: location hardcoded in them to write and read, and that will lead to errors

They have some people, Windows by itself is a wild jungle, and I feel like most of them just work in fixing bugs

I have the theory that their main problem is that the Windows team is mainly interns, and MS kicks them out every two years or so so they can get new and cheap workforce, but that results in not having a lot of people who actually understands the core functionality

Or maybe MS just doesn't want to put a lot of money on it, after all, the money is on Azure and Office, Windows has to be just "good enough" unless the market share is at risk (which might be since they just can't a clue)

Anyone have issues with Proton VPN user interface not being recognize by Windows 10? I'm using Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021 edition if that helps. I don't get any option to select Proton. Never used a VPN on windows before. Do I really need the user interface if the program works?

>>103240301
Proton expects you to use the GUI program to use the VPN properly

My very real and legit education edition install has been flagged as pirated. Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to do an entire new install. My shit's debloated to fuck too so I'd really rather not have to spend a day fixing this shit.

Uninstall the KMS activation you used beforehand then re-activate using MAS's HWID or KMS38 modules.

Sorry for late reply, paste it into your terminal as administrator, if prompted for something press Y. Also yeah, it seems like some MS store packages don't show up there.

>>103241884
To download anything from the MS Store with winget you just need to install it via its product ID which you can get from the address bar when looking it up.
