I've noticed the taskbar has a little lag when popping up now, anyone else seeing it? W10.
>>>106569275>he uses the Pot Player too!My nigga!What do you like to watch in the Pot Player?
>>106570529Works for me. Did you install any recent updates?
>>106569030>What version should I install?>W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021IoT LTSC 2022: https://pastebin.com/rHcgvYS7you should install 2021, here the 2022 iso, am i retarded or something ?
>>106570871There aren't any LTSC 2022 ISOs because it's not a real releaseBasically, LTSC 2022 is just LTSC 2021 but with a switch flipped so the system says it's 22H2. It won't add any functionalityYou shouldn't bother with this unless there's some software you want to use that absolutely refuses to run on anything lower than 22H2
>>106570845Unfortunately yes, I left it on and came back to it freshly rebooted. Nothing else is wrong, just when the taskbar unhides it is jittery.
>>106569373She was busy in 'extra classes' with me.
>>106569030I'm looking to upgrade to 11 because my current installation of Win10 is ancient and I figure if I'm reinstalling on a clean slate I might as well get the new shit. Already have my entire C: backed up. Aside from deciding on which version to use, is there anything else to making the process of setting everything back up as painless as possible? Or am I just gonna have to manually reinstall everything?
>>106570842sophie-chan
>>106571395>my current installation of Win10 is ancient What kind of problem does it cause you? In any case I'd wait until the next W11 LTSC
>>106571410Well Win10 has terrible HDR support for example and both my monitors support that, as a reason to upgrade. Past that it's just been through tons of hardware changes and is full of old barely-used software and 100% needs a fresh reinstall even if I wasn't getting 11.
Are you gonna switch to Linux when they end support in 2032?

how to disable this?it shows up out of nowhere
>>106572107AFAIK Resume is for caching not-currently-in-use processes, like search and webview. Do you have resume turned on in settings? Apps -> Resume
>>106569030I have Win10 Pro. Can I install this LTSC 2021 version without reformatting? Or do I need a clean install? Also, does it come activated or where can I get a key?Domo very much.
>>106572705It's easier if you just turn your Pro into Enterprise, re-activate then activate the ESU licenses so you'll get updates until late 2028. All done through MAS, which you can use from the OP irm command in an admin powershell.
>>106569030
What programs do you bros have installed on your 'puters? Do you get them through winget, maybe portable apps, ms store, or always prefer direct .exe? Are you OCD about updooting them? I check my programs for updoots every single night as part of daily maintenance
>>106574623I install everything through setups or things like Ninite mainly, though I also really like portable stuff.
>>106571395Use scoop to install your programs, it's cleaner, you can even use it to install winget. Then if the programs don't exist in scoop, use winget. Most daily driver softwares can be found in scoop anyways. I feel like it's a much "cleaner" solution than riddling your program files with installed software.
>>106571395It's >>106575508 again, I forgot to mention a couple of things. Scoop also gives you a nice place for usual portable/zip programs to live. For example, on a new clean install I usually use snappy driver origin, O&O shutup10, and process monitor (for startallback reset). These are all zip programs, which can also be grabbed with scoop. It'll give these portable software a place to live and automatically create shortcuts for you as well.
I just installed Windows 10 ltsc on a pc and it's trying to install Windows update kb5065429. But every time it gets stuck at 20% and bluescreens. Please advise.
>>106576483Did you use privacy.sexy or something else outside of OOSU/gpedit policies?
>>106576683Nothing of that kind. I followed the instructions in the op.
>>106576884have you tried entering recovery mode? I think it's F11 while booting
>>106577050Yeah. I'm slowly losing it rn.
>>106577131worst case just go bios and boot from a usb stick and completely reinstall unless you had any important files.
Is it necessary to install Tinywall/WFC? I'm getting tired of getting asked which programs to allow.
>>106577160I installed it a couple days ago and had this issue. Today I did a fresh install and still have the issue. I'm clueless to what's going on. Maybe I'll try waiting for the next update and see if that works. For now I have the updates paused.
>>106577297If that's Win10 ltsc 2021, its recovery partition is still the default size - some updates required people to increase its size. But even then, new updates shouldn't blue screen but state "installation failed" and then revert back.
For some reason the "-mcp" command in 7zip stopped working and I can't extract JP archives with proper filenames. When I run a command, 7zip just claims it doesn't exist. Any idea what can be causing that?I reinstalled, tried older version in case it was axed, tried pretty much every solution online, nothing.
Is there any way to disable automatic window snapping when dragging a window to the side/top/bottom of the screen, but still have a way to open a snap menu and snap windows via a keyboard shortcut or by right clicking the top bar of a window or something?
>>106577703is it a command line program? check if the 7zip location is in your path
>>106577230>Is it necessaryIt is recommended but not necessary.There's no point if you never block anything>>106577875Settings -> System -> Multitasking
I love Windows!
>>106578843>Settings -> System -> MultitaskingAnd I don't see a way to do that there, that's why I askedEven if I disable every sub-checkbox to snapping, it still activates automatically if I drag a window to the edge of the screen, the only way to disable that is to turn snapping off entirely it seems, when I still WANT to be able to do snapping, just via specifically activating it by clicking something or putting in a keyboard shortcut
How the fuck do I make it so that if for example my mouse doesn't move for an hour it automatically fully shuts down my PC? I use bitlocker and I want to be able to have it shut down in case I forget to manually turn it off before I go to work. Using task scheduler has not worked well I can't get it to properly do it.
>>106579141Turn off automatic sleep in the power settings?
>>106579153Yes but how do I get it to shut down automatically?
>>106579200Tried Task Scheduler?
>>106579141You say that Task Scheduler didn't work but what you want to do is done with Task Scheduler.>Triggers: On idle>Action: shutdown /s /f /t 60>Condition: Start the task only if the computer is idle for -> 1 hourThis should just werk.
/sqt/ is hitting the limit soon and I never got a quality response there anyway so I'll ask here. I got my regular am4 with win10 on it. recently started building a 775 socket system which will later have win 7 installed on it. my desk does have enough space to fit two keyboards on it but it'll be too cluttered and I cba buying more stuff truth be told. so I need a hub to plug mouse and keyboard into and then switch whenever I feel like to make things less complicated. the question is: will that work fine with windblows 7? has anyone tried anything similar?
>>106581843You can easily find USB-A based hubs on Amazon that'll work on Windows 7 fine.

>W11 IoT Ent LTSCDo I need to set mpv as a default player for every single format manually? Humiliation ritual
>>106582946No, just unzip the mpv archive you downloaded, create an mpv folder within Program Files, put the files in that folder, then run the mpv_install script. It should set up everything properly including setting itself as the default player for all video/audio stuff.

>>106585365Download ShutUp10 and run its recommended settings. Best you can do without breaking shit.
>>106585365Use OOSU, install Fort firewall or similar. Use gpedit to turn off automatic updates (it'll update when you decide to do so instead). It's simpler than what people think. No reason to be paranoid or break your system. If you're that concerned then Windows is not for you anyway.

> Set W10 to go to sleep Never> I go to sleep> W10 goes to sleepTurns out there are power options for "sleep after inactivity" and "hybernate after" that aren't controlled by the Settings option and possibly are hidden behind registry keys. Who do I send my complaints to?

Gents my win 10 install somehow bricked itself and won't boot, nor will it succeed at rolling back the latest update, recovering the install (including cmd /fixboot), nor is it able to use a usb install media to fix itself.Wish me luck I might have to get a bit crazy.
Trying to troubleshoot an issue I'm having on Vivaldi (and other Chromium based browsers I use IIRC)After having the browser open for a while with a lot of tabs open, it will begin to become unstable with some actions, such as the page refeshing, navigating to a new page or tab, opening a new tab, closing one, etc will become delayed. This SOUNDS like just high memory/RAM usage or a memory leak, but- It oddly does not impact not only other applications, but not even private/incognito windows of the same browser: Those will still be perfectly responsive until/unless it independently happens to the private "session" too if it's left open with tons and tons of tabs. Otherwise it functions fine indefinitely even as the non-private windows buckle- It does NOT seem to happen to my laptop with only 16gb of RAM, only my laptops with 64gb and 96gb. This made me think that perhaps the lower memory/RAM capacity was avoiding it because the browser was forced to auto-hibernate tabs to avoid crashes and maxing out the system memory, but the issue continues to happen on my 96gb laptop even as it's not close to it's total RAM usage and even as I installed an extension which automatically suspends unused tabs. Anybody got an idea of what's going on here, or what I could do to try to narrow the problem down further?

>cloned full OS drive to USB before reinstall>reinstall goes fine and works without issue>try to boot into drive from USB >throws all sorts of errors on BSOD as soon as i try to load it, usually something about winload.efi or an issue with the BCDfew0what do? do i really have to unplug every other drive to be able to boot into the old one? I'd really rather not do that because the main drive is an nvme and will require taking half the PC apart to remove
>>106590694>try to boot into drive from USB wat!
>>106590791I cloned my old install onto an external USB drive, and then reinstalledI'm trying to boot into my old install, which is now located on that driveThe problem is that it's currently throwing error code 0xc0000225 whenever I try to do that. I can access all the data on the disk manually from my actual install, but I'd like to be able to boot into it and change some things from within.
>>106590840Did you change the drive storage format to be bootable before cloning the main drive? Just copying everything doesn't make an external storage boot compatible. Your files got copied but you cannot use that as your OS without some preparation beforehand.
>>106591361It's not copypasted, it's a 1:1 clone including the EFI and Recovery partitions. I've been fucking around with bcdboot in the meantime and now technically have a dual boot setup, the one on the USB drive is just completely nonfunctional (0xc000001). At this point it's probably more a matter of fucking around and trying to repair the install on the drive, but I'm not really sure it's worth the effort since I was pretty much just trying to recover some browser tabs and other small things.
>>106591412I mean you could just use a live Windows environment like HirenBootCD to access your old install's files so you can get the browser profile/cookies and stuff saved.
>>106591490>HirenBootCDWill this allow me to boot into that disk as if it was a fully functional install that I could log into as normal? I've got a working Win11 environment right now and I'm in the process of (slowly) copying my folders in from the backup, so if just being able to get into Windows is its purpose it won't do much for me at the moment. Still sounds useful to have for other troubleshooting though, good to know about this
>>106591536No it would only allow you to access the connected drives, not the actual install itself. HirenBootCD is basically just a WIndowsPE live environment that comes with a bunch of programs for all sorts of situations while also letting you access any connected drive in the current PC (at least if they aren't encrypted.)
>>106572857>>106584786Cheers.
>>106591538Figured as much. Thanks for letting me know about it though
>>106591412>some browser tabsWhich you can get by copying your browser profile. For Firefox its just a copy paste for Chromium you have to copy some registry keys as well.
>>106591584I tried several times, I did the registry keys and full user data folder both but it just wipes the old session the minute I open the browser, even with the forced crash command to prompt for a session restore. By all accounts it should've worked but no dice.
>>106569030I know this question has probably been made hundreds of times already, but Is there any way to keep using a windows 10 pc safely after support ends?I dont want to pay microsoft any money for extended security updates, nor do i really trust windows 11. Are there any scripts that can be used to patch up vulnerabilities in the future?
>>106592239The script suite MAS is all you need. Firstly use it to change your install's edition to Enterprise. You'll then need to re-activate it, which you can then use MAS's HWID module to do that. Then use the TSforge module to activate the ESU licenses. This makes it that you can get monthly updates on 10 for another three years.Just run the irm command in the OP in an admin powershell and you'll be golden.
is there any way to check if ESU is active?
>>106592405Use slmgr in an admin command prompt. The command "slmgr /xpr" will show your active licenses. You should have your install license and four ESU licenses, all saying they're permanently activated.
looks like its working
>>106592454Yep, you're all set. Enjoy using 10 for another three years.
Hello!I am running Windows 11 LTSC IoT, seems fine, I After using the Chris Titus privacy script, and installing a firewall like TinyWall, I should be good to use my PC in a very private way right? (obviously not as much as a linux distro or QubesOS, but good enough to play games and download my fetishes without microsoft fags snooping around)have a burger for your help
>>106578866double dubs of trvth! Also, don't we all? :-)
>>106590680I don't like it.
>>106592562If you ran the privacy toggle in WinUtil and set up TinyWall to block everything by default besides what you let through then yes it's the most private an 11 install can be. You are using a local account, yes? Using an MS account is the biggest way MS tracks what you're doing. Also make sure to disable cloud protection and auto sample submission within Defender's settings.
>>106592590Yes! I did the privacy toggle from Chris script, and i am also using a local account, is that private enough? Only way I think Microsoft could get info is through the AV or the updates I suppose.I also have that AMD adrenaline thing on FULL, which shouldn't be a problem as long as I block it with the firewall right anon?
>>106592630Well if you haven't let the addresses needed for Adrenaline to send anything back to AMD. The local account is one of the best things you can use for this.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on a machine.Can I upgrade from this to Windows 10 IoT LTSC 21H2? I don't want to do a fresh install.
>>106593345Doesn't work. You'd need to free install if you wanted IoT LTSC 2021 over the 7 install.Though you could in-place upgrade to GAC 10 I think still.
>Use only if you fell for the 12th+ gen Intel meme and need the new CPU schedulerThat can't be right. Surely Binbows 11 has something to offer for the average user.Right?

hello gamersQuestion. how to fix this on iot ltsc? thanks
>>106593788>Open up powershell as admin:Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage>Open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR and add a new DWORD called AppCaptureEnabled and leave it at 0>Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore and add a new DWORD called GameDVR_Enabled and leave it at 0Now it shouldn't pop up again.
>>106593379No, win11 is utter garbage just like when win10 first launched. Wait for w10 to die off then switch. I am sure by then you'd be either using stable and mature debloat/shutup tools or already have bought hardware that can handle AI+live screen recording+live cam recording while you use their system.
>>106593809thanks a lot bud. I think I did half that and thought it doesn't work that way.
>>106593788install ms store and game bar ms store is actually fine on ltsc since it doesnt autoinstall shit like on other editions
>>106589424is it all youtube tabs or something?they've gone insane trying to hang up extensions and such, even crippling performance if your client says anything but Google Chrome™
>>106594388There's a few Youtube tabs open but this isn't just a recent issue, I had it fairly frequent many years ago on the 64gb laptop, though it went away for a few months here and there at times and then I never had it on the 16gb one, but now i'm having it on the new 96gb
>>106594057I have the store installed. Still had to do edit registry like >>106593809 said.
>did the support extension trick you showed me a few weeks back>can't remember how long it will lastHow long will the extension for Win10 last?I think you showed me someway that it's not known to the normies to extend it 3 years or something.
>>106595728You change your edition to Enterprise and re-activate, then activate the ESU licenses. Because it's Enterprise you'll get three extra years of monthly updates.
>>106595802I think I did something else back then. It says here I activated ESU but it will last only till 2026.

Which is a better option right now? Clean installing w10 LTSC or the ESU/MAS thing mentioned earlier in this thread (and earlier threads)? I have parents who have w10pro on their computer, and both of them use it frequently for work and personal things. Their computer has a lot of files and software that they regularly access. I'm also on w10 but I'm still debating whether to finally move to Linux or continue with w10.Can telemetry be easily disabled (as much as privacy-intrusive shit can be disabled with Microsoft products at least) on LTSC and the ESU thing?
It's so funny going to massgrave to actually get shit setup and even the guy who distributes the stuff is saying the people who circlejerk over IoT LTSC builds are tech-illiterate retards
>>106597402That's because most people think it's more private or it has better performance, in reality all it has is less bloat by default and longer support
>>106597402it's just another flavor of larping teenager

>>106599109custom os i use it it works fine
>>106599021pot player or mpc hc
>>106599109Prebuilts/laptops often come with a lot of OEM bloatware so that might be part of the problem. In any case a clean install never hurts. Just keep in mind that with laptops you often need to manually get drivers for either your touchpad or your Wi-Fi after a clean install>>106599134>custom os i use it it works fineNever install a custom ISO. There's no guarantee there isn't any malware in it. Customizing an ISO yourself is fine, but you shouldn't download an ISO customized by someone elseAlso, always check the SHA-256 of the ISO you downloaded. I even went as far as to make a Microsoft account just so I can check LTSC hashes on Microsoft's official website (even if you can't download LTSC ISOs from them, you can still check hashes)
>>106597119Non-Home GAC 10 with the ESU licenses lasts until late 2028, which is LTSC's EoL. IoT LTSC's lasts until 2032, but you'd need to either clean install it or in-place to it in a hacky way. And yes it can, LTSC is just Enterprise with a different license and the ESU are just licenses that let your PC get monthly updates past October.
>>106599109For debloating, check out chris titus' winutil. We don't really need it here because we use iot ltsc, but since it's your dad's laptop, it's a good tool to use to debloat. Also check out O&O shutup10, the recommended settings are great, and it's what everyone uses anyways.
>>106593883>win11 is utter garbage just like when win10 first launched.Well, it was so better actually on 23H2, but then somehow Microsoft destroying it again when 24H2 is released.
>>106599153Pot Player!
>>106593883>>106599898Huh, so I was right to wait for at least LTSC 27H2 before switching to W11
anyone else not seeing the option to enroll in the ESU?
>>106600234Anon read the fucking thread please
>>106600234If you're talking about enrolling through the Settings menu, it's shit and only 1 yearUse MAS to get 3 years of ESU instead
>>106600091But well, aside from that ssd bug, the current 24H2 is actually getting better, it's like 85-90% of 23H2 in terms of system responsiveness, “but it still stutters, like in virtual windows, but yeah, if your hardware can still be supported by ltsc 2021 (and your software/game), there's no reason to upgrade ltsc 2024.>>106593379>That can't be right. Surely Binbows 11 has something to offer for the average user.Idk if it's purely placebo, but I can see 3-5 fps boost in games over Windows 10, maybe the scheduler improvement actually applies to any system configuration (not just 12+ gen Intel or any newer AMD zen5).
>>106592464I used the script, but since I have W10 Home and it's not included in the results, am I really covered?
>>106601470If you're on Home then you'll only get 1 year. You gotta change the edition for the full three.
>>106601496Which version should I get and which ones can I get into without reinstall? if it requires installing an upgrade (keep personal info), will it break a lot of things? Also, Microsoft page is saying Enterprise LTSC 2021 is for cash atms, are there any downsides or is it really just a better Windows?
>>106601529Switch the edition to Enterprise.
>>106601529>is it really just a better Windows?yesit's just enterprise but no MS store and the only version of windows with a proper 10 year EoL
My computer is dual boot, Windows with Ubuntu. I just made the mistake of booting into Windows to install updates. Christ, it's taking forever. On Ubuntu, even if I haven't updated for a long time, updates don't take very long.In conclusion, Windows is painful.
>>106602081Do you have them boot off the same drive / device? You're bound for problems unless you're booting from two separate devices.
>W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021>https://pastebin.com/rHcgvYS7I applied this on my Windows 10 Home, is LTSC activated? Version has not changed apparently
>>106602181>Do you have them boot off the same drive / device?Same drive yes>You're bound for problems unless you're booting from two separate devices.I've dual-booted from one drive for years and never had problems with that setup. I think Windows Update is just fucking slow.
Hello, FWT.I'm building a PC for the first time over in /pcbg/. I'm also very dumb.The version of Windows 10 mentioned in the OP seems appealing to me, but I can't tell if it's only an option for upgrading, or if I could make a flash drive for a fresh install of that version.Any help would be appreciated.
My old piece of shit PC is randomly shutting down.If task manager or some other program doesn't immediately close and I have the opportunity to cancel the shut down on the "shut down anyway" screen then it does not shut down and remains functional, usually for quite a while.I can't be dealing with fixing the problem, thing is about a decade old as it is, so I am asking if anyone knows of a program that windows specifically will not close during shutdown without pressing "shut down anyway" while I delay purchasing a replacement to cause a hang on that screen and allow me to abort the shut down.
>>106602441If you want to use IoT LTSC 2021 then you can just download an ISO of it and flash it using Rufus. You can install it fresh to your system that way.
>>106602460>you can just download an ISO of it and flash it using RufusTime for me to look up what all that means. Thanks, anon.
>>106602471Links to sites you can download the ISOs from are in the OP. Rufus is a bootable USB maker that works best for Windows boot disks.
>>106602206You apply that enablement update to an IoT LTSC 2021 install.
>>106584759>>106584793>>106584821I'm not a Windows fan lately, it's a complete crap. Currently on 24h2, but I'm literally forced to update to 25h2 to get rid of various annoying bugs , lags and freezes.I bought a new pc few months ago and it's more unbearable than windows 10 I was using before. My life now depends on getting the latest bug patches....

>>106603167When you install Windows on your new PC run MAS to HWID activate that system permanently
>>106603190figuredthanks
>>106603120damn Steve Balmer looks like that now?
>>106592587I like it.
>>106569030need help with a couple things1.does massgrave work for win 11 pro?unfortunately some programs I need for my job just refuse to work in iot ltsc2. is the talon debloat ok to use?3. whats the difference between using debloat tools and building the iso myself?
>>106603967>does massgrave work for win 11 pro?It works with every edition>is the talon debloat ok to use?I've never heard of Talon. I use either ShutUp10 or WinUtil.>whats the difference between using debloat tools and building the iso myself?Offline tweaks done to an ISO straight up just means that the tweaks are there the moment you install it. You can use answer files like the ones generated by https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ to make a clean ISO automatically do things during install.
