Alright boys, looks like I'm finally going to take the plunge. So looking at the last thread, Windows 11 (IoT) Enterprise LTSC 2024 is the way to go, right?
Maybe I'll play a few Dota matches first in case I fuck everything up and have to troubleshoot for days.

>11
found your problem
>>
>>108065167
IoT LTSC 2024 is one of the cleanest ways to get an 11 install going, you'll just need to do some housekeeping afterwards like installing runtimes and such, nothing too annoying.
>>
>>108065167
Windows 11 Home + Local Account (OOBE/BYPASSNRO) + Disable BitLocker & Memory Integrity + Disable Diagnostic Data, Connected User Experiences & Telemetry, Error Reporting Service

About all you need. Don't fall for the memes. Windows is most useful for it's compatibility and just werkiness, if you're gonna use some meme outdated builds of windows for placebo privacy reasons and lose all the benefits might as well use loonix.
>>
>>108065649
Home gives you the least privacy you dummy
>>
>>108065668
Nigga did you even read the post? Privacy is placebo, home lets you disable diagnostic data to 0 by running a basic terminal command and it's as simple as doing it through gpedit.

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

And you can use winget to remove all the packages/apps you'd remove in IoT/Enterprise LTSC as well. And you can disable whatever you don't need be it hybernation or defender or bitlocker or cloud shit. There's literally no reason not to use Home when it's the most lite and most compatible build that everyone tests for, just keep it up to date and it'll always be as good or as bad as it gets for majority of people instead of making you an outlier. You can then also generate cunny on grok without worrying about fingerprinting because there's 1 billion Home users while there's 20 thousand LTSC users worldwide.

i have no clue what is going on. everything seems to work - the OS SSD as well, no SMART errors, i can read/write files, even do benchmarks on it
currently getting .iso to run recovery through USB
anyone has any ideas? i'm panicking
>>
>>108067268
If everything worked fine before taking out the RAM stick, and that's the only change you made, and then it won't boot, you most likely didn't put your RAM stick back properly, make sure that it actually clicks right and that you didn't unplug anything else accidentally while returning it in place. Also if you can get into your BIOS and check whether the PC is registering everything, if your RAM/SSD/CPU/GPU/BIOS/PSU are all working there and recognized properly and you can access all that then you most likely just have some sort of issue with your OS/SSD, try getting a linux iso on your usb stick with another PC and see if you can boot into the iso live environment and if it works or not to confirm 100% whether it's OS/SSD related.

Just backup your data onto a different drive, and install windows fresh again. Never had anything like that happen to any of my computers but computahs are weird and sometimes chasing fixes is not worth your sanity and it's simpler to just nuke it.

How do I permanently disable or stop Intel Innovation Platform? Going into Services and disabling doesn't do shit. Same with going into Device Manager and removing all instances of Innovation Platform Framework Generic Participant. I can disable temporarily however it all comes back after reboot. This is the only way to stop MANY instances of Windows Driver Foundation User-mode Driver Framework Host Process. Every other goddamned update and this shit goes fuckin bonkers. FUCK!

managed to get back in. windows was fucked beyond belief and none of the tools worked. after nth try in hiren's boot i managed to restart bcd or some shit and it booted in safe mode. ran sfc/dism but that did not help, it wouldn't boot normally.
so i went into safe mode and disabled everything non-microsoft and it fucking worked.
i do think hardware was at play there as i lost the ability to run RAM at 3600mhz which was fine for like 3 years, i dialed it back to 3200mhz to make it actually boot

As you've seen, low IQs simply think (or more precisely, don't) that LTSC is "magic". You can't explain to "people" like this that it's exactly the same OS as Home, but with an empty C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder until you're blue in the face - they lack the cognitive machinery to understand.
It's why people who actually care about security talk about configuring the firewall, not setting random registry keys which entirely depend on Microsoft and the vendors of the programs you ran to actually do anything.

>>108072303
well the problem is that the people who are generally low IQ use windows. people who know stuff use linux. windows is for retards you see. but yes i agree, the whole LTSC thing is nonsense. there's only 2 things you need to do:
1. use schneegans autounattend and remove all software and disable updates on install
2. use simplewall and block everything except only what you need
3. use only FOSS software
4. there is no step 4
that's all that is required for a "secure" windows install. if you can't do that you're retarded

When the ESU for GAC 10 runs out then the only version of 10 that will still get updates for another four or so years will be IoT LTSC 2021, but by that time a lot of programs will most likely stop making 10 versions.

Like most things baby ducks claim, this is an out-and-out lie. This wobbly hack requires the priorities of the processes running on your system to be set up a certain way - it even admits it - which, of course, no process in the wild actually does itself, especially system services. You have to set them manually.
So you're back to using Task Manager (or replacement), or clever use of the START command, to fiddle with your process priorities. If you still have to go into Task Manager, why would you waste your time with this hack, when you can just pin your process(es) to your P-cores to cope with your deadshitos's limitations, like you've been doing for years?

How to stop getting bored with how windows looks? When I do a install of W10, I love the feel of sharp edges, the smaller taskbar, the snappier feel overall, for a few weeks then I start seeing all the little flaws and ugly parts about it. Then I install Windows 11, and the same thing happens, at the beginning I appreciate mica, the more consistent look, the smoother animations and rounded edges, then I start feeling like it's not snappy enough or sharp/professional enough. How do you cope with this bros?

>>108074504
NTA, but gpedit isn't a memescript. You're not enabling/disabling options, you're enabling or disabling a policy.

A "disabled" policy does literally nothing (on a workgroup system; it's different for domains - but nobody on /g/ is using domains). You must "Enable" a policy for it to take effect, then you configure the policy if applicable - not all policies are configurable. That one is however, and you Enable it, then go into its properties page, and uncheck "Allow Settings to retrieve online tips." for it to have any effect.
This is how practically all policies work, and this has been known for decades. As that anon insinuates, anyone with "Disabled" policies in their gpedit is ultra low IQ.
>>
>>108074636
That's not how group policies work and anon's policy applies correctly when set to disabled, there are numerous policies who have a binary enabled/disabled state in which disabled obviously affects the end result in a different way compared to the default behavior of unset or enabled. Anon's policy iirc disables the little internet links in the settings app, like the ones in the card under Windows Update.

You are retarded and need to stop trying to educate others when you are a retarded 50 iq cattle. Stop posting, in fact never post again. You should feel ashamed for posting something that retarded. Go take a cold shower and think on why you are so confidently retarded and who is to blame for that.
>>
>>108074767
I thought I'd be angry to see such terminal brain damage. But I actually feel sorry for you - literally no understanding about how Windows policies have always worked, yet so confidently calling other people retarded.
>>
>>108074822
You can literally read the policy's description and see that multiple policies explicitly only support enabled/disabled toggle with no other toggles available, where the disabled will provide behavior different from the default unselected/enabled behavior. In this case as well setting "Allow Online Tips" to disabled as per instructions of that policy disables Online Tips in Settings, and you can verify it works yourself after rebooting the PC, might not even require it you can just run gpupdate /f. You really need to feel shame for being so retarded, you could've tested this yourself in like 10 seconds and not embarassed yourself. How are you that confidently dumb you stupid low IQ monkey?
>>
do you disable SmartScreen?
>>
>>108074848
Yes, I did. Because I'm not as low IQ as you:
<boolean id="CheckBox_AllowOnlineTips" valueName="AllowOnlineTips">


Note "Checkbox": in case you're even lower IQ than you've demonstrated thus far, this means the checkbox (pic related) controls the registry value, not setting Disabled for the policy.

Now that I've now explained to you - in very exacting detail - how wrong you are, I hope you don't embarrass yourself by doubling down further.

Can your retard brain not comprehend that every group policy is essentially just a registry entry? Do you not realize that when you set Diagnostic Data to Security in gpedit that you are just telling your PC to set
>reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

You can literally test that the policy works correctly and applies correctly yourself, and see that I am right and that microsoft's own documentation supports what I'm saying as well. How retarded are you? Genuinely, why do you keep doubling down and humiliating yourself further? How did you become so retarded? What level of education do you have and what job do you work?

Here's an example of your incredibly low IQ making you unable to understand how Group Policy works. This is a policy definition that has no elements - that is, simply setting the policy to Enabled changes the registry value:
<policy name="NoControlPanel" class="User" displayName="$(string.NoControlPanel)" explainText="$(string.NoControlPanel_Help)" key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" valueName="NoControlPanel">
<parentCategory ref="windows:ControlPanel" />
<supportedOn ref="windows:SUPPORTED_Win2k" />
</policy>


Note the lack of an <elements> tag. Enabling this policy sets HKCR (as class=User) Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer (as per the key attribute) NoControlPanel (as per the valuename attribute). Policies without a datatype are assumed to be Boolean, so this will set HKCR\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!NoControlPanel=dword:00000001.

Elements, on the other hand, work differently: the registry value(s) are attached to the individual elements, and their state - not whether the policy itself is Enabled - configures them. As such:
<policy name="AllowOnlineTips" class="Machine" displayName="$(string.AllowOnlineTips)" explainText="$(string.AllowOnlineTips_Help)" presentation="$(presentation.AllowOnlineTips)" key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer">
<parentCategory ref="windows:ControlPanel" />
<supportedOn ref="windows:SUPPORTED_Windows_10_0_RS3" />
<elements>
<boolean id="CheckBox_AllowOnlineTips" valueName="AllowOnlineTips">
<trueValue>
<decimal value="1" />
</trueValue>
<falseValue>
<decimal value="0" />
</falseValue>
</boolean>
</elements>
</policy>


Will only work if the policy is set to Enabled, and the checkbox in the picrel I gave above is unchecked.

I hope your brain damage clears up, anon.

Things like checking what you regurgitate actually works requires an IQ over 70, which anon demonstrably lacks. That's why he's getting so angry: he can't actually explain how or why it works (or more precisely, doesn't work), so he chimps out instead.

I'm starting to think I've misjudged him: his low IQ may not be because he's has a brain injury or his parents were related - the spastic (yet impotent) rage suggests he may merely be of an unWhite race - something he really can't do anything about.
>>
>>108075018
Yes, because you went back into gpedit and changed it. Low IQ anons have serious trouble admitting when they're wrong - you actually will gain a lot of goodwill by saying "yeah, I'm a retard", and since it's an anonymous imageboard, even if it did "stain your good name", as soon as the next thread comes along, your sins are expunged.

This is the primary reason why, even if you are some unWhite that can't think or control his emotions, there's literally zero point in chimping out. It gains you nothing.

To be fair, the "double negative" thing that Group Policy has always done confuses the low IQ. Enabling something to disable something does short-circuit their logic centres, and there's to many wordswordswords in the three paragraphs of help every option has for them to read and understand how each option works.
I think you (I presume?) hit it with >>108074636: they're so used to memescripts, where everything's marked with "Disable X", that they think Group Policy works that way too.
I wouldn't worry about it in the long run. They'll eventually fail to disable something really basic because they can't read, then go seething to Linux, where they'll righteously be put in their place (the only thing freetards do well), and won't be fed bullshit by the likes of >>108075018. Then they won't be our problem anymore.

And not configured has nothing to do with user setting as the user can't configure most computer policies through interacting with the PC's gui as they don't have the permission or ability to change those things, not configured is just the default your windows pc ships with with no policy overriding it or a potential manual gui user change.
>>
>>108075382
Not quite:

Not Configured = respect user setting
Enabled = Override user setting
Disabled = respect user setting instead of using override provided by upstream (remember, Active Directory is hierarchical) Group Policy configuration

The latter is only meaningful in a domain environment obviously - there's no upstream configuration to override on a standalone machine with a local Group Policy.

what about changing them in bulk? i don't really want to go into gpedit and change everything one by one. if i change a registry key that corresponds to a policy, is that the same thing or am i doing it wrong? what is the "official" way that doesn't involve a domain controller or the azure cloud because i only have one pc in a workgroup?
>>
>>108075410
Incorrect again, disabled has nothing to do with user settings. You could change whatever you want on your PC, then set a policy to disabled and your user change will be overwritten. You keep getting confused over the dumbest shit.

You have a select policy. That policy does something. If it's set to NOT CONFIGURED, that means you are not using that policy, there's no policy applied and it does nothing. You can then change whatever you want on your PC and it has nothing to do with the policy behavior. You can disable automatic sample submission in defender, and your policy will still remain not configured despite that behavior being matching with the DISABLED policy, because you did it as a user and not using a policy to force that setting.

If you then open gpedit and find the Automatic Sample Submission entry in Windows Defender in gpedit, you can then select ENABLED and set whatever setting you want and override you previous user input in windows security, or you can set it to DISABLED and depending on what disabled override means in that policy it'll override and force that over your change, and then if you open security you'll see a red text warning that a policy is being applied forcing automatic sample submission off.
>>
>>108075441
That's what the RTLFB download link at the top of the article is about. I wasn't joking when I said it's all you need.

There are tools for copying Group Policy configurations from one machine (including DCs) to another, but they're designed for AD use, and become very... finnicky, and demanding of a triple-digit IQ user, when working with local policy.

>>
>>108075528
They are dirty, yes. Group Policy is way more than just poking values into Policy keys: it's also a mechanism to track the configuration you set up, and more importantly, prevent changes by any random passers-by, like anything with Administrator privileges, and Windows updates.

Remember all the horror stories you've heard from people crying that a Feature Update or something reverted their carefully-constructed configuration - now you know how that happened to them.

apparently it’s just a malign web extension that’s able to send notifications and all I need to do is go into chrome settings and disable it? would it be able to still do this without being connected to wifi? is it actually able to fill my whole screen and brick my PC? should I just uninstall chrome from the desktop? does it make more sense to run my anti-virus first?

>>
>>108077691
my guess is that you accidentally enabled notifications for some of those ad websites and now they're spamming them.

You should check out the notifications section in the Chrome settings to see which pages are allowed and disable them

Also if you watch movies in shady websites then don't use Chrome and use something like Firefox with uBlock origin, or Brave with shields

If you can pull off something like that and drop in two sticks of 16GB RAM, you could squeeze another decade out of that old beast.
Honestly, I think your machine could handle a GTX 1080Ti if you hook up the Alienware external GPU. Back in the day I had the Steam Machine Alpha R2, which had an eGPU port, but I never ended up using it
>Windows 11 IoT LTSC 24H2
Your laptop feels like the kind of machine that’s gonna end up “cool” with the zoom zoom crowd in a few years. It’s not built for today’s heavy lifting, but it’s still the best of the leftovers. Kind of like a 2006 Mustang GT; old, not a classic yet, but it’s got that vibe. I don’t know, man… it’s rough around the edges, but there’s something about it that makes it worth hanging onto.
If I had that machine, I’d just leave it running Windows 10 forever. It’s kind of like having an old IBM NetVista 6578 with a Pentium III--you could throw XP on it, sure, but honestly Windows 98 SE with a Nvidia Riva TNT feels more true to its era.

because it doesn't get feature updates, even if MS hides some slop here and there with the updates, it's a much more stable and predictable experience while still getting security updates.

Of course it made more sense before W10 went EOL, now that GAC W10 also gets purely security updates then the only reason to stick with LTSC would be the even longer support, however it still applies to W11, although some people say LTSC 2024 is not that good but we don't have many testimonies to be sure about it

I currently have one problem with it, and that is the fact that it crashes a lot. What's up with that? I wanna fix that problem. Any solutions?
>>108097880
Alright I will.

Do any of these have a GUI for easy management?

Your install crashing a lot sounds like a hardware issue.
>>
>>108097899
yeah that's what I did, my go to install for family machines is basically 10 iot ltsc + a browser they like + only office + vlc + 7zip + user role
I need to find an easy way to do remote program update maintenance though

Obviously the memory was damaged and could no longer work at full speed.

is there any way to stop windows to decide one day after an update that the program I use to do x needs to be changed back to their default?

You can always just use something like AnyDesk/RustDesk/Aspia to remote into your parents' PC and do whatever you need.

I used teamviewer and I'm migrating everyone to rustdesk with teamviewer as a backup, but I meant more a centralized way of seeing versions of programs I'd like to maintain

I guess you could always run winget's list command and check version numbers when you've Rustdesk'd in to your relative's PC to update anything you want to if the programs they use don't have auto-updaters. Like you won't need to worry about their web browser being outdated for instance.

I'll have to check about the new rustdesk ability to get a remote powershell session going on, maybe I'll do something with that
>>
>>108097987
Yes.
No.
