Windows won't install updates anymore on my system (W11 LTSC)
I get error 0x800736B3 and this warning about system reinstall
What can I do

Will using hacked graphics drivers be the only thing I have to concern myself with to get Windows 7 installed on a 10th gen Core system, provided it's not using exotic hardware (it's not)?

>>108811207
Celebrate your victory

>>108811421
and pretty much the rest of the system, there's a chance there are no wifi drivers for win7 for ex oh and also potential issues / freezes

>t. Installed win7 on a Zen 3 + Navi 22 system and experienced tons of issues, and with official drivers from AMD

>>108811466
Well shit.
I'll have to keep that in mind.
Fortunately, it seems like most of the hardware is shared with its 7th gen based predecessor so a lot of the drivers should be covered.

Monthly updates on ESU are so quick. May's update only took like 5~10 minutes.

>>108811207
Run a /dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth into an sfc /scannow. That error code means that your WinSxS folder is corrupted, which doing those commands should fix after a restart.

Is it weird that my Win11 is still on 24H2 with no option to update to 25H2? Drivers, secureboot, TPM, all that stuff is green. Haven't updated the BIOS in a while, but I did update it once since buying the mobo in 2023.
I don't even really care about the update itself, I'm just wondering if something might be fucky.

>>108811848
is your CPU supported? behind the scenes Windows checks for a lot of requirement to see if you're eligible for the update, but if you check all the boxes then maybe their system is just dumb.

You can just download the 25H2 enablement package and install it to get the update, it's just a small file

Been running like this since forever, negro. Just use your brain.

How do people get 25H2 on LTSC 2024?
Is it just a stupid patch that changes the name or is it a full update?

>>108812638
You don't. The whole point of LTSC is that it stays on the feature pack it comes with. If you used a package to up it to 25H2 it'll become a franken-install that won't get updates anymore because an LTSC with 25H2 doesn't exist.

Hey anons, just making sure before I go ahead with the advice here >>108785461

Is it Windows 11 Business I download from here if I want to be on Enterprise with updates?
What's the difference between 11 Business Enterprise and 11 iot Enterprise? I was gonna go for the former for my laptop

thx

>>108813005
Download the latest 11 Business ISO and flash it to a USB. When you boot into it you'll have Enterprise to pick from the edition list.

>>108813011
Perfect thank you. Just out of curiosity what is the difference between Business Enterprise and IoT Enterprise (not ltsc)? Seems like they serve the same purpose

So it's just this guide https://massgrave.dev/clean_install_windows then this guide https://massgrave.dev/ right?
It's that easy and is a set and forget sort of thing?
Final side question, which version of Office is recommended these days? Last I was using '21 which was fine

Thanks a bunch

image thumbnails just randomly stopped working mid-session and now i cant use file explorer, even after restarting explorer or the pc
just stuck in an infinite loop or extremely slow in some parts of the directory and just some files have an image thumbnail
trying to rename a file crashed explorer
browsing and other things work fine
wtffff is this shit ahhhh

>>108813026
Enterprise and IoT Enterprise are basically the same. People say to use IoT LTSC Enterprise because it has 10 years of updates from when version releases. And yes massgrave's install guide is fine enough, though I'd personally use diskpart via Shift+F10 to clean a target drive then delete the partitions in the GUI.

>>108810176
Yeah I don't know about that. My wife has been uses Gillette razors and they work just fine. Maybe next year. Good luck.

Why do you want to boot the installer from a DVD instead of just USB booting?

>>108813108
Oh, I have USB sticks, plenty of them in fact. Just want to burn the .iso onto a DVD(+R) for more long-term reliability. I don't trust USBs for that. Should also incorporate dvdisaster and par stuff.

>>108813398
Sure, I've never done that before but maybe.

>>108813409
True, just too lazy to buy them right now

>>108813090
Use DISM to remove the editions you won't use from install.wim and use recovery compression to make the ISO smaller so you might be able to burn it to a DVD.

>>108811207
Did you install the 25H2 enablement package like a fucking retard?

>>108811597
Didn't work
>>108813586
No

>>108813605
Do a in-place ISO upgrade. It keeps everything but reinstall repairs your OS and downgrade/upgrade to that ISO version.

>>108813605
Try repair upgrading with an IoT LTSC 2024 ISO. That's basically "reinstalling."

in powershell the best way to activate?

>>108813625
yes

>>108813625
It's the easiest way. It downloads MAS to the temp folder and runs it with a randomized hash so Defender doesn't get pissy. Run it in an admin powershell as well.

Next problem. I got Business Enterprise, I wanted to use it with my personal MS Account
It uh, won't let me sign in.

I'm almost certain I checked beforehand to see if you can use business enterprise with a personal MS account and I'm sure i was told yes.
But I seem to have hit a brickwall. Whatdo D:

>>108813648
IIRC Business Enterprise is expecting an Azure domain account or office email. The normie Microsoft account is for Education/Pro/LTSC.

>>108813648
Logging into Enterprise with your non-business MS account is not a good idea. Why do you need an MS account connection? It doesn't add anything besides spying.

Should I install consumer w11 pro for my normie friend? He likes to play games with steam and xbox game pass

iot enterprise (ltsc or not) differs with the availability of several lockdown options (see picrel https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/product-family/windows-iot)

>>108813723
education

>>108813749
Damn.
I did look online and there's a way to use a normal MS Account with Business Enterprise
You sign in with a local account and then after you sign in to an MS Account.
I think it doesn't register the license to your MS Account though.

Is there a risk doing this or is it alright? Should I just go for Pro?

>>108813810
Ah I see, thank you. Unfortunately I went with Business Enterprise and hit a roadblock, I think iot Enterprise would give me the same issues. In any case it seems to get fewer updates

There is literally no reason not to use Education or Enterprise if you're going to activate it for free with MAS anyway
Also, if you choose Education, DO NOT choose install Pro Education which is based on the inferior Pro
Regular, NON-pro Education is based on Enterprise which is what you want

>>108813723
Normal Enterprise.
There's nothing wrong with W11 Pro other than not being able to fully disable the placebo telemetry switch.

What's the difference between education and enterprise?

>>108814090
Education has MS Store suggestions (candy crush ads, etc) turned off by default
Enterprise has NVDIMM support (which you will never use)
Other than these, they're the exact same

Though the MS Store suggestions thing doesn't really matter if you're going to use something like ShutUp10 or Winhance anyway

Have you guys ever gone through Microsoft licensing for small business? Shit's confusing as hell

>>108814090
iirc education doesn't advertise itself as enterprise so you can use teamviewer without it going nuts that you don't have business license

I always get cortisol spikes when I see LTSC users asking for newer versions and features. Nigga this is LTSC, why do you even use LTSC?

>>108814441
They want the long update life along with all the new features ie: having their cake and eating it too.

>>108814269
Nope. I update system once a year.

>>108814441
Half of LTSC users use it for the wrong reasons. They think it's some magical version that runs 50% faster and has zero telemetry or something

>>108814441
I want the new explorer fixes

>>108814441
the only thing i'd want on w10 ltsc is a 22h2 spoof

>>108814492
If you want the fixes and want to use LTSC then you'll need to wait for LTSC 2027 which'll most likely include all the fixes born from K2.

>>108814486
Wait. Are you implying none of that is true? The common consensus is LTSC is the reliability of wangblowz minus the AIDS that normally comes with it.

just tried xbox mode, bretty cool
interestingly enough, it is available on my win11 pro with the "get the latest updates" turned on but not on my win11 pro canary

>>108814665
LTSC does have less shit installed by default, but once you remove that from a GAC install they're the same shit
Telemetry is the same between both LTSC and GAC Enterprise
The 2 reasons why you'd want to use LTSC are:
>you want to keep using W10 with security updates for as long as possible
or
>you don't want feature updates changing your system

I've installed w11 iot ltsc just fine on my machine but one thing that's bugging me out is: sometimes when opening new programs, dialog boxes, windows etc, a black box appears and disappears suddenly, like a rendering glitch
how do I get rid of this shit

>>108814848
either driver issue or hardware issue on your gpu

That's kinda what people got with the 22H2 enablement package on LTSC 2021, but it also gets you kind of a fucked up frankenbuild, plus that kind of build doesn't get security updates anymore. Even Massgrave said not to do that (pic related)

>>108815180
And with ESU basically making GAC Windows 10 last as long as normal LTSC now there's no real point unless you -really- want to stay on 10 until 2032, which honestly I think most will be moving to LTSC 2027.

>>108814665
LTSC comes down to this, basically: Enterprise-based fixed release (support cycle: up to 5 or even 10 years when on IoT variant) with none of non-critical UWP packages being installed
>all UWP packages from %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps wiped off, including UWP-scope dependency packages
>lack of some certain UWP apps are compensated with their Win32 counterparts, e.g. Calculator
>fundamental packages from %SystemRoot%\SystemApps along with the UWP-model infrastructure are kept to assure stable user experience, like the XAML-based shell components
If you were to mount resp. edition indices from the .WIM image to their own folders and quickly compare them, you'll grasp the surface-level differences like these. It's not a "le ebin style debloated GAYMAN-optimized" nor "le fell for the MRI crippled edition meme" release

shucks about these missed devilish trips

>>108815226
>I think most will be moving to LTSC 2027
If LTSC 2027 has the K2 updates then yeah, I'll probably switch to it
