i built a PC with new, modern parts for the first time in my life, which was fun, but I have an issue with Windows that I wasn't able to figure out yet. Whenever games using easyanticheat load, it just straight bluescreens my computer. r9 9900x, 96GB DDR5-6500, 3080, win11 24h2 pro. The crash is coming from UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP and in Windbg it is clearly coming from easyanticheat_eos.sys. I already did clean install of windows, driver verifier, bios and driver updates, etc etc. Anyone know how I can figure it out? I have support thread with asus going but as predicted they are being relatively useless.
>>103510868i just want to play vrchat ;_;
I just activated Win 11 with MAS and the moment i did it fans on the laptop started running noisy at high speed constantly, even after restarting a couple of times. any ideas why and how do i fix this?
Should I install the 24H2 update?>https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/inside-this-update-93c5c27c-f96e-43c2-a08e-5812d92f220d?OCID=WUSettingsI am afraid of the new features
>>103510945Activating your computer with MAS hasn't suddenly made your fans go nuts. Literally no one has had this problem besides you.Go check in performance monitor or something.
>>103510966>I am afraid of the new featuresAww, you're so cute and innocent, you silly boy!The Microsoft always knows how to satisfy their customers so that's why their products are objectively amazing, including their updates.
>>103510945I'm not sure about laptops but on a desktop PC all fans except the ones on the GPU are controlled by the BIOS so it's impossible for your OS or any software running on it to change your fan speeds
>>103510966What new feaures are you "afraid" of?
>>103511063that's not totally true, you can get software (fan-control) that will do software control of fans
>>103511028>Aww, you're so cute and innocent, you silly boy!I've been using Windows since 95. Windows 11 doesn't even let you display seconds when you expand the date/time widget in the toolbar. Yet people online claim "oh no that feature was added already". Then I check exactly what they're talking about, exactly where it is supposed to be, and it's not there. Windows 11 is just gaslighting and spying.>>103511105More streamlined File Explorer sounds dangerous.
>>103511144of the changes in win11, adding tabs to the file explorer is the one thing I have actually found useful. Everything else in the updates is just bloat dogshit that makes using windows worse.
>>103511144Oh, I see!>>103511166You may as well use the Temple OS since you hate "bloated" features so much. Have fun!
>>103511186you're right, adding gamebar, phone link, cortana and copilot are really useful features that I love to have on my PC, and will regularly use.
>>103510681>debloats your windows 10/11>removes ads and telemetry>makes it fast even on slow hardwareInstall AtlasOS, it's the best windows experience.
>>103511234It's a band-aid solution anon. You can get basically what Atlas does with an autounattend file like UnattendedWinstall.
>>103511186>You may as well use the Temple OSI would, but I cannot, my religion forbids it. It is extremely offensive to Jewish people.
>>103511013>>103511063Alright, good to know, thanksThe problem went away on its own after a couple of more reboots
Maybe I shouldn't ask this here, but is a windows handheld like an rog ally good? How long do those things last compared to a laptop?
>>103510892pls windows gurus help... its the only thing i use windows for
>>103511421Reading up on MS Learn when it comes to the error code:>Bug check 0x7F typically occurs after you install faulty or mismatched hardware, especially memory, or if installed hardware fails.>A double fault can occur when the kernel stack overflows. This overflow occurs if multiple drivers are attached to the same stack. For example, if two file system filter drivers are attached to the same stack and then the file system recurses back in, the stack overflows.So your first path is maybe something to do with the RAM, maybe something to do with XMP?
>>103511553I did check that (it is 0x7F), I tried with completely stock bios, EXPO 1, EXPO tweaked, and I even swapped to a different kit of ram entirely (DDR5-5200), somehow did not change anything

Anons help me a way to download youtube age restricted video please?
>>103513171You can't anymore. Youtube's completely closed off age restricted video downloading from people that aren't logged into it, which is why so many youtubers these days try really hard to make sure they don't get that stamp.
>>103513203Fuck youtube then
wheres the best site to buy a cheap key these days? or is the MAS script really fool-proof? i just upgraded my desktop and i dont want it to be hardware locked in the future if they figure something out.
>>103513363MAS is foolproof. Just copy paste the irm command on its github into an admin powershell, wait for it to load up, then press 1.
>>103513379works with W11 as well?

Is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AveYo/fox/main/Edge_Removal.bat still the preferred method to remove Edge or is there another method/script nowadays? Asking before I run it on Win 10 IoT LTSC 2021 since I don't want to break anything
>mfw I did the cleanest ISO ever>new update drop>hit the install button>Windows backup and edge are now on my system>try uninstalling that UWP bloat>get blackscreen after login>try different fixes, from restore backups to tweak the register>nothing werkz after trying for 2 dayswindowbros, HOW do I cope with this?
>>103514157Nevermind I tried it and it doesn't work, got pranked
>>103514157>>103514352https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/Remove-MS-Edge use this one
>>103514396Thanks, that worked.No idea why the first one didn't work. I ran it as admin and rebooted a few times with no luck, could still launch Edge.
My internet was perfectly fine before installing Win 10 IoT LTSC, now it's capped at exactly 100 Mbps. Any setting I gotta mess with? My ethernet cable's fine.

>>103514505I suspect your cable has bitrot.

>>103514296You just need to>deal with it and let them be, turn off as many services as you canor>disable updates and only update couple of times per year Every time there's an update Edge wants to reinstall itself pretty much. I just deleted it off and have disabled updates altogether. Still deciding whether I should install W11 LTSC or just change to Linux I don't know.
>>103514296Also to add: making ISOs is retarded. If you can't manage with vanilla iot ltsc, then you should think about your priorities. You'll just permanently break things and complaining about updates not working is pretty dumb don't you think?
>>103514296>intentionally break system>WHY MY SYSTEM BROKENdumb nigger
Is there some way (cmd/powershell) to turn off the screen in the same way that your screen turns off based on power saving settings? Not like going to sleep, just screen off + when you move your mouse or otherwise interact with the interface, it turns on again.Right now, I have a 3rd party tool for that installed, which lets me use>nircmd.exe monitor offin CMD
>>103515550Since it's just SendMesage(HWND_BROADCASE, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, 2);, it should be easy to do in PowersHell.

>>103516479i don't use itunes nor have any apple device, if it got installed windows or lenovo did it
>>103516515It's unlikely (though not impossible, to be fair to you) that an OEM would force-install unsigned drivers at the factory. But either way, your problem is solved.

>>103510966>Should I install the 24H2 update?Should have read this thread>>103506956now it's too late.
>>103510681b
Anyone have any idea what could be going on? Ever since the 24H2 update my computer has been randomly restarting but it's never when I'm at the PC so I can't see what actually happens. My computer then fails to recognize my NVME SSD and tries to boot from ipv4 until I shut down for a few seconds then boot back up and go into my BIOS and make my SSD the boot drive again. My PC says my drive is perfectly fine as well as my RAM.
The OP should be updated since the latest motherboard requires W11 to run WiFi 7.
>>103521349Windows 11 has been fine for me. I like it a lot. I stay fairly current with my PCs though. I usually give away year old hardware for free and buy new.
>>103521349>Latest tech needs latest OSWoah no way. And IoT LTSC 2024 is on 24H2 so for people that want LTSC on modern systems it's easy.

>>103521696Why are you afraid of making robot friends?
>>103516592>it was a screenshot from googleThanks for wasting everyone's time
>>103521767That's what they ship nowadays. I ain't gonna complain that thing (aside from the copilot) is pretty neat. >>103521782The implication of this is that technically there is a possibility of this shit going through my files to feed their LLM...which is not great from business security perspective.
>>103521349Nobody on /g/ is running the latest motherboards. Hell, most of them are using bypasses to install Win11 on their Ivy Bridges and Haswells.TL;DR: no, it's not relevant to the /g/ demographic.
>>103521936Anon the moment you sign in with an MS account they own everything on your computer ergo will use it to train Copilot.
>>103510681>It's also not recommended to use scripts like PrivateZilla or O&OShutUp10 as they tend to incorrectly detect group policy and registry settings applied by the optimization process and break things.any actual reports on this?because I have used oosu10 to disable pretty much everything it offered and nothing seems to have broke, and some of them (like enabling/disabling mic) seems to work just fine when turning back on
>>103522432FUD from the OP as usual. SU10 has worked fine for me for years.
>>103522455I see, just going to use it again on a clean install then, thanks
>>103521696TL;DR.Baby's first AI experience!
>>103521696yeah i just chatted up with copilot and it was kind of surreal. I forgot I was talking to a human for a sec. It didnt give me generic 4 paragraph responses
>>103522432Yes, memescripts conflict with user-set Group Policies. You'll end up with a situation where your memescript-set values will take effect, then at some point down the road, the Group Policy client will overwrite them.Having said that, memescripts exist for the convenience of the low IQ demographic that can't into Group Policy. Your memescript settings won't be overwritten by Group Policy if you're too dumb to use Group Policy.TL;DR: in practice, there's no opportunity for conflict.
Not sure where else to ask this.Have got a new protonmail address, want to run it thru Thunderbird. No troubles so far but Thunderbird says the incoming and outgoing servers (IMAP and SMTP respectively, if that means anything) are unencrypted...I assume this means that my e-mails have never been encrypted, but is there an easy way to make them so?
>>103523518To get end-to-end encryption, you need the Proton Bridge app.
>>103523518>>103523537Sorry, thought I didn't press PostI looked it up myself already, thanks
>Aging relative's ISP discontinuing e-mail, kicking her over to never-fucking-heard-of-them.com>New company charges money and sucks ballsIs something wrong with good old-fashioned e-mail? Why can't companies afford to run it anymore?
>>103523555People pushing 10GB attachments through them, and they need to be stored at every relay, every POP3 server, etc. until the recipient downloads them.I'm quite surprised SMTP and POP3 still work at all, frankly.
>>103523555back in the days of POP3, email worked by downloading the mail to your computer, removing it from the server. that is, you could receive your email once, and if you wanted to see it again, you needed to keep it locally. it's more like real mail where once you take it out of the mailbox, it's no longer in the mailboxthen later once multiple/portable computers became more common, we got IMAP, where mail stays on the servers until you delete them yourself, and you only download a copy for viewing. you can imagine server storage requirements will have exploded because of this, since now you need to store every email forever (or until a user deletes it from the server, which nobody ever does), where before you only needed to store email that hadn't been downloaded yet
>>103523566>>103523609I had to convince my boomer dad to move from POP3He started having problems but being a stubborn boomer he didn't want to switchNow he switched to MS (with his own business domain name) and he's like "wow I can access my mail from my phone AFTER reading it on my computer"
>>103523566>>103523609Thanks fellasSo what's a boy to do then?
>>103523657To clarify, what I mean is, what's the long-term solution for e-mail? Are all small companies gonna just go bust in a few years?I'm already noticing that e-mails aren't coming thru properly to my own address - is it all breaking down?
>>103520615anyone? I'm at a loss on how to further troubleshoot this
>>103523684Try updating the BIOS if you can?
I'm still on 7. Want to go to 10. But am a little confused. Which version should install (Enterprise, LTSC, IoT Enterprise)?
>>10351068124H2 downloaded, but I keep delaying the actual installation. I don't want to deal with the gaming problems. How do I delete this update, and return to it, once Microsoft and the gaming companies have finally patched the problems?
>>103524135IoT LTSC 2021 is the W10 version that will receive security updates for the longest (until 2032), and being made for stability, it never receives feature updates so nothing ever changes or breaksYou can download it from massgrave and activate it with MAS
>>103524135Why wouldn't you upgrade to the Windows 11? The Windows 11 is objectively amazing!
>>103524350>the Windows 11Good morning sir
>>103524352But it's currently 11:58 PM (pacific time zone).
>>103524352Poorfags and browns who can't run Windows 11 on their ewaste accusing Windows 11 users of being streetshitters never stops being funny.They're just like freetards - another group where you're statistically likely to be a third-worlder.
>>103524391Why would I switch to W11 when my W10 install still gets security updates from MS? Why do you get so aggressive when people don't switch to W11?
>>103524410Because it supports modern CPUs better than Windows 10 - doesn't apply to you because you don't have modern CPUs.Because it supports modern network hardware better than Windows 10 - doesn't apply to you because you don't have modern network hardware.Because CUs until 2032 doesn't fix nodrivers and programs leaving you behind - doesn't apply to you because you don't have any new hardware, and don't actually do anything with your computer.Because it makes outs browns - doesn't apply to you because you've already outed yourself.Because it makes poors seethe - doesn't apply to you because you already have tons to seethe about.
>>103524448 (Me)Hmm, delete that extraneous "makes" in there.
>>103524391Shilling 11 makes you a street shitting poor brown currynigger.
>>103522432Honestly don't know why OP keeps the old pastas that were used in OP years ago.Rentry fwt has been abandoned for 5 years, the LTSC pasta has been abandoned for 3 years.They're antiques that havn't been updated in years.Just use the new windows install guide pasta.

>>103525662For large size transfers like that use robocopy in the command prompt.>robocopy X:\first\drive Y:\destination\drive /E /Z /COPYALL /R:5 /W:5Simple enough command for this. Though you can also use the /MT flag to use however many CPU threads to make it copy faster.

>Unable to Launch BlueStacks>BlueStacks cannot start because of graphic related issues. Click on "View article" for possible solutions.Aaaand back to Windows 10 I go. I decided to give W11 IoT LTSC a try, and tried reproducing those bugs and slow downs people were complaining about, but mine ran very smoothly so I thought they were exaggerating, but it seems I have my own unique reasons to avoid W11 for now.GPU's already at latest version, also tried downgrading and still nothing. I'm not even going to bother trying RPCS3 and PCSX2, the only two things I care besides BlueStacks.I will just "downgrade" back to W10 IoT LTSC where everything just worked.StinkPad with a lower end 4GB Quadro Maxwell-M card btw.Thanks for reading my blog, fucking off to do another clean install as I post this.

Alright, please don't murder me for this question, I know it's stupid. But is Opera GX a super shit browser? I've been using Opera for longer than I can remember, and have been using GX for a few years, but god damn does it cause massive CPU and memory spikes on occasion. I don't know if that's an extension issue, a shitty site optimization issue, or just a browser issue.

I came here with a random question eventhough it might be stupid and not really on topic, I was wondering if there is a way to "privately" use TikTok, well as private as you can, of course. I am interested to see where its algorithm gets me but I dont wanna leave a fingerprint on it. A throwaway e-mail is enough or no? And how would I do it on my phone?
>>103533092>>/sqt/if you have to ask this, you have no data worth keeping private
>>103533103oops whatever >>>/g/sqt
>>103533092Well for one you can use something like Blokada or RethinkDNS to block as many of TikTok's trackers/ads and shit as it can. It's like using TikTok while signed in on a PC while using Firefox and UBO.
>>103531262I'll give it a shot but I don't think I even changed anything in the BIOS. I might also try updating it while I'm at it but I'm always a little scared of doing that.

>>103533258Anon you're blind. The massgrave repo has 7 ISOs.
>>103533288Okay what about:- BSOD?- System seizure before shutdown? e.g. system is displaying but nothing is response - Or just plain shut off with no warning?
>>103533332The thing is that I'm never at my computer when it happens, so I don't see what occurs before the restart. All 6 or so times it has happened has been when I've been away from the computer and it's been idle. I come back to a screen saying it's trying to network boot.

>>103537264"It was a PNG, and you saved it as JPG" would be my first guess.
>>103537264If it was a JPEG all along, my second guess is "it was saved at a really high quality level, whereas MS Paint is hardcoded to save JPGs at (the paint.net Quality equivalent of) 80".If it was a PNG all along, my third guess is "MS Paint throws away 32-bit colour, alpha channels, other shit it can't handle, while saving".

any good free video editor on windows?
>>103537934You could look into Davinci Resolve's free version. Otherwise there's things like Kdenlive and OpenShot.
>>103537804You don't understand what I meant because you don't know the history. These guys began to publish emulators on almost daily basis and MS reacted and kept taking them down. At some point MS disallowed retail emulation and now (afaik) it only works via dev mode. If Microsoft was more like Nintendo they could have sued the said retard group who operated from a certain discord. There was some Nintendo recompiled games too..
>>103537957What I mean publishing to MS store.
>>103537960People who do that are fucking idiots obviously who're a little too high off their own farts. It's like when the Dolphin dev decided to put it on Steam officially which Nintendo did -not- like.
Protip: if you changed group policy to make Windows Update notify to download and it's pestering you several times a day with security intelligence updates, what you can do is change the "Define the order of sources for downloading security intelligence updates" policy to MMPC.That gets you back to the old way of doing things where Defender pulls its own updates instead of having WU push the updates. You can then configure other policies to either schedule the security intelligence updates or have them trigger when the PC restarts or before a scheduled scan. If you don't configure anything else, then it'll update once a week when your definitions are considered "outdated".Took me way too long to figure this out because every person asking about this was told it can't be done, and only recently did MS add a note to the docs explaining what MMPC is and how the fallback behavior actually works.
>>103538455It's better to simply unsubscribe from MAPS. If you're throwing away updates entirely, it's not going to do you any good anyway.
>>103538469Not sure I follow. I read about MAPS and it is supplemental to security intelligence updates, no? And I haven't read anything about it going through Windows Update (nor have I seen it listed there). So it does its work independently, right?Getting security intelligence updates through MMPC instead of automatically through WU may reduce the frequency and result in larger deltas, but I don't think that's a huge deal (I should clarify I'm suggesting this sort of configuration for a personal device). I restart my PC at the same time every day, so I have it configured to check for security intelligence updates after a restart, and have verified that it is receiving them through MMPC.If you're assuming I have WU set to notify so that I can skip or delay updates, that's not the reason. I simply prefer to have Windows (and all software) ask me before doing anything that could disrupt my use of the PC. Honestly I'd probably be fine with automatic updates BUT you have to give me a heads up with a notification or a tray icon, and that's what recent versions of Windows fail to do.What I hate is when I walk away from the PC for 10 minutes and come back to the fans going full blast because the PC was idle and so Windows decided now was a good time to update. Then the moment I open the task manager to check what's happening (because it doesn't just fucking tell me) it throttles everything immediately and pretends it wasn't doing anything. That kind of behavior may make sense in a business where you can reasonably expect the PC to have some downtime overnight when it can do its thing but for a personal device that can be on or off any time of the day it's total bullshit and just feels like Windows is stepping on your toes every time it happens.
>>103540238I was under the impression that they work hand-in-hand. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've certainly had no problems with Windefend updates arriving through this "backup" channel when I've disabled MAPS - I only get the every-few-days full-fat version via WU (which of course is just as easily-disabled via Group Policy).
>>103540266My experience was, Defender only ever falls back to the backup channel (MMPC) if its definitions become outdated as defined by group policy, which is after one week by default. If the definitions are not outdated, then all policies for scheduling security intelligence updates just seem to trigger a WU check without requiring that the latest definitions are actually installed. I think MAPS is delivered through its own channel that is neither WU nor MMPC, since the docs mention letting it through your firewall and checking for connectivity from the command line.Anyway, I only want to be notified for significant updates like the monthly security/quality rollups, .NET, or the CRT that usually happen on a Patch Tuesday. I consider security intelligence updates low enough impact to happen automatically when I start my PC, so that's why I wanted WU to be totally out of the picture for them.

Something strange is happening with my Windows 10 machine. Every time I turn it on, it starts downloading something, I'm guessing an update, and it brings my network its knees. I've already used group policies to prevent an upgrade or a new version update so it shouldn't be Windows 11. I'm not sure what it is but my hand-me-down macbook doesn't do it, my old lenovo doesn't do it, my linux partition isn't doing it. So.. What is it doing?
Requesting /fwt/ some confirmation.My dad's office PC has a Kaby Lake CPU with Windows 10 without issues. However, due to imminent deprecation in favour of Windows 11, I instructed my dad it is time to upgrade it to something compatible (I know I can force install 11 on that PC but troubleshooting that PC is cumbersome in case it shits the bed). So, I'm planning to buy a cheap second hand Coffee Lake motherboard/CPU.So, the question here is if there are chances requirements will change for Windows 11 in the future or I'm good to go with Coffee Lake.Thanks in advance!
>>103543248
>>103510681i am using windows 11 iot ltsc and i like it
>>103544349For as long as it's called "Windows 11", it will have the minimum requirements it currently has. You're only at risk if you go below them, and omegapoors found out when 24H2 didn't run on C2Ds anymore.It's actually why Microsoft decided to make Windows 11: 10 had collected quite a few new features over the last decade, but MS couldn't turn them on by default, because the Windows 10 official requirements were something around a Prescott Pentium 4.
>>103544515Noted, thanks for the insight anon
I remember installing Win10 21H1 Education LTSC on my previous PC back in 2021 and now I'm building a new one. Is there any reason why I should get the Win10 Enterprise 21h2 LTSC instead? Also, I just checked the version on my old EDU Win10 PC and its now on 22H2 because I had to allow all this updates and shit to get functionality for Game Pass PC working, is this gonna impact how long this version on windows is gonna be supported?
>>103545233If you want Game Pass to work then you need either normal GAC Enterprise 10 or use IoT LTSC 2024 which is 11-based using 24H2 as its feature pack.Using normal GAC Enterprise 10 is actually not that bad an idea though these days because the MAS team have figured out how to get the extended security updates for free so you can just apply that when the time comes.
I installed W10 LTSC IoT and this thing takes 30 gb in a clean install, wtf? I thought it was supposed to be ''debloated''...
>>103545385Last I checked a recent IoT LTSC 2021 install took about 12~15GB.Also it's "debloated" in how it doesn't come with any vestigial UWP apps.
>>103545437I read that apparently it ''reserves'' like 15 gb for future updates, kind of silly to pre-emptively take space from you for that, especially since I even deactivated the updates

>>103546189Flash the ISO to the USB with Rufus. boot into the USB then clean wipe your current system with diskpart while in the setup and install IoT LTSC 2021 on the new unallocated space.You could also use a bit more of a hacky way IE changing your EditionID registry key before quickly opening the setup.exe and getting to the point where it lets you keep your files/apps.>Mount the IoT LTSC 2021 ISO>Open it in Explorer and leave it for now>Run "reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v EditionID /d IoTEnterpriseS /f" in an admin command prompt>Quickly run setup.exe in the mounted ISO and get through it until you get to the final option to keep your files/apps (it's worked if it appears as an option you can enable/disable.)

I bought a re-certified HDD from serverparts and I did a long SMART check and it was completely fine. Now I am filling up this 20tb external HDD in NTFS, by hoarding videos, but yesterday JDownloader crashed and with it windows 10, so I had to hard reboot by hand both the computer and the external enclosure.Now the HDD displays ''The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'' when I try to access the folders that were being written during the crash. All the previous folders are fine. There is no weird noise form the HDD.I did a quick scan with HDTUNE and a quick SMART check with HD Sentinel, and they say there is NO error.I use ''everything'' to look up partial download with ''*.part'' and it finds some:-some of those .part are in a accessible folder, but when I open it, the *.part are not shown-some of the *.part files are in the INaccessible foldersThe HDD is 75% filled already and I really want a way to just delete the corrupted folders and go back to a pre-crash state. Please tell me there's a way to avoid formatting?All of this points to a corrupt MFT (Master File Table) , ideally not a physical damage on the HDD, so how do I refresh it?
