i love windows ooouuuhhh

Reinstalling windows from gnome linux really is a pain, woeusb and ventoy both don't work very well and both might have mallard in them, and balena etcher doesn't work well for burning the iso either. I saw people say it was a pain to go from mac to windows but it's just as bad with linux.

>>109108880
You can always just make a Windows boot USB manually as well. On the Linux install just take a USB and wipe and format it as FAT32, then download an ISO and extract all the files besides the sources folder to the USB. Then move everything in sources to the USB besides install.wim, then install wimlib from your repo and use that to split the .wim file into two .swm files at around 4GB each which get put in sources. After that you should be able to boot it on any UEFI PC and it'll work properly.

>>109108880
Apparently you can use Rufus through a Windows VM, but I've never done it myself

>>109109082
I mean yeah you can, but it's a bit of a hassle to install a Windows VM just to use Rufus through it.

Do I still need to split the install.wim if it's already a 4gb file or will just changing it to a .swm work? Using an IoT iso if that changes anything.

>>109109108
....no?

>>109109113
It's so the .wim can fit on a FAT32 USB without it crying the file is too big for the filesystem. It's easy to do.

What is the best beginner friendly video editing software for Windows? I'm just planning on editing gameplay videos, nothing crazy.

>>109116902
10 years ago I was using Wondershare video editor. Probably not the best these days but it was super easy to use. For just cutting, adding audio and simple effects it's extremely intuitive.

>>109116902
I'd say CapCut.

I don't know what windows ink is. I'm using an old Huion 580 just fine on LTSC 2021.

>>109116649
Not using LTSC myself, but except for the stuff like lack of Snip & Sketch and different group policy configurations of Ink Workspace (like this taskbar button serving as a quick launch for the ink-related apps), I don't think that given LTSC's nature - which is basically Enterprise without any of the standard-issue (from %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps, to be exact) UWP packages installed - it's lacking of the Windows Ink fundamentals compared to all other core Windows editions
>provided the product policy configuration of EnterpriseS doesn't hardcode any of the touch/ink capabilities to be turned off

'course, you're still dependent on the tablet driver's capabilities to finetune its settings, like Wacom's own (or OpenTabletDriver's - >>109118627), and the current state of 10 21H2's support for tablet input

>>109119001

Even when I have problems with Windows, I'm reminded of why I don't daily drive Linux. Tomorrow morning I'll dig out my old W7 laptop and have access to a dozen different tools to make bootable USB's out of Windows install disks, all with GUI's. Tonight I'm stuck in modern Linux that doesn't have one functional GUI tool for what I want to do.

>>109123079
If Ventoy "borked" your USB somehow then just make a Windows boot USB manually. It's easy, just move all of an ISO's contents to a FAT32 formatted USB and use the tool wimlib to split the install.wim file into two .swm files so it doesn't complain about file size.

>>109124769
>ETA: 2027H2
AKA it's not out yet, retard-kun. IoT LTSC 2024 is what you can get.

>>109124792
Ok. same questions for the 2024 version

>>109124801
NTA but yes IoT LTSC 2024 is the best way to use 11 if you want a very defaultly clean install until 2027 comes out, then you can just in-place upgrade to it.

>>109124801
Basically, look at Ubuntu. You have the "mainstream" version and the "LTS" version. The "mainstream" version comes with all the newest bells and whistles and continuously gets replaced by newer releases while the "LTS" version more-or-less stays the same and has years of support.

With Windows it's a similar deal. GAC, or General Availability Channel, are the "standard" versions. Home, Pro, Enterprise. You have a somewhat short support window, all the newest bells and whistles, continuously updated. LTSC is the Long Term Service Channel, where the OS is more or less "frozen", only receiving security updates and having a longer support window. It's not "super debloated", rather it's an Enterprise tier Windows version that comes with "Consumer Features" disabled by default, hence the "debloat" feel of LTSC. These are everything people hate about Windows. Candy Crush advertisements in the Start Menu, unnecessary fluff, nagging about using Microsoft features, and so on and so forth.

In short, LTSC is not "super debloated" but comes with less shit by default, has longer support with IoT versions having an even longer support, it's compatible with everything that works on the release it's based on. In case of 2024, it's 24H2, and so far 25H2 and 26H2 are more-or-less rehashes of 24H2 so it's unlikely you'll run into any issues. Just do keep in mind that with an LTSC release you won't be getting all the newest K2 initiative fixes, unless you force-install them yourself.

>>109124834
2027 will most likely have all the K2 fixes released, ergo why people are saying it's the 2021 of 11.

Woulda helped if you specified which flash drives have you used in the first place, as well as ruled out the hardware issue within them
If the controller and/or the memory chip is shite (especially if it's a cheap ass chinkshit thumbdrive), no matter the OS or the tool used to prepare the stick - it's eventually set to die in the least expected moment

Hell, even Rufus had some incompatibilities with certain USB drive controllers because of how flawed they were
>you could've just copied the ISO contents to a FAT32-formatted stick, (re)compressing or splitting install.wim with wimlib beforehand due to filesystem size constraints
>or use WoeUSB-ng, has a GUI even and will basically do the same shit above

And don't even fucking listen to LLMs and use dd - Windows ISO images aren't of a hybrid-type like Linux-based ones that require an exact sector-by-sector clone with the way they boot the image (AFAIR it relied on some wacky MBR trickery), rather than relying on a standard El-Torito-compliant bootstrap and default UEFI boot from the /efi/boot/bootx64.efi path

>>109125323
Used Win7 to make the USB drive with Rufus, got machine back to working, put in 'dead' USB drive and was able to revive it and format it again with another tool. It works just fine now. As I expected.

>>109125965
64GB USB 3.0 Sandisk stick, not exactly what I would consider cheap ass chinkshit controller or chip, but I already know linux users are eager to blame hardware for their faulty software. Just like how they were trying to claim my new PC's hardware was faulty and the reason why linux wouldn't give me an error log back when I was trying to daily drive linux. The same faulty new hardware that Windows 10 has been using just fine for a few years now without unexplained errors.
This is why I wiped off linux and went back to Windows. Windows works, linux doesn't and the majority of 'help' offered by it's users is just "IT WORKS ON MY MACHINE" and "UR HARDWARE MUST BE BROKEN!" You can kick that cheap excuse right down the road bro.

Not sure about the current state of Sandisk sticks (can't complain about their microSDXC cards tho), but I used to have some Kingston stick die on me under Windows (no USB drive system policies have been changed from the OS defaults, e.g. write cache) with a "Drive inaccessible" error, and a similar case with one of those local no-name OEM flashdrives
Turns out it was revivable, but I had to flash back the controller firmware, effectively wiping the drive's data in the process (I had a recent backup of its contents made before SHTF). Didn't trust the flashdrive ever since
Had to spend much time researching vodkanigger and chink forums (usbdev.ru is a goldmine) - use ChipGenius and usbdriveinfo to detect the exact controller/chip, download the right firmware and flash it back; with the right info, you could try searching whether the controller/chip is known to be faulty it with some search engine that ought to be better than google's LLM hallucinations, assuming nobody already complained about the model of the USB stick you used

Don't take it as some kinda Loonix apologia in first place - hardware errors (and its concluding behavior quirks) can and may happen, though it's easy to blame the software first, e.g. that one Windows 11 update that made specific DRAM-less SSDs broken; or hard-to-explain mysterious BSoD bugchecks happening due to faulty memory

How do you install the nvidia control panel without Microsoft store? I managed to get the appx using that RG-Adguard downloader, but I have no idea what to do with it. I poked around, gave up, and tried getting the store back with wsreset -i in elevated command prompt, but all that did was tell me "c:/windows/system32/cliprenew.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
Now I've got a bunch of loose microsoft store files I have to figure out how to get rid of, no microsoft store (which I don't want anyway), and no control panel. Winget seems like an option but I would also prefer not to get its dependencies if I can avoid it. I'm not sure what to do.

You can create a ~20-30GB partition at the very end of the drive, then mount the windows 11 iso and use dism to deploy the image to said partition, you'd likely have to create an entry for it to show up during boot, then once you boot into it you can do the same again but for your main system partition

All those windows tweaks are memes and placebo besides disabling telemetry. For performance you're better off undervolting and getting a high hz display 120hz minimum.

You know how when you group by type, it gives you categories like "Application" for exe, "Disc Image" for iso etc.
And then the groups are put together alphabetically.

Can you rename these groups? Cause for example installing irfanview will rename PNG into IrfanView PNG File so there's a way to do it right?
Or if your windows is in a different language the groups will be different too but still alphabetical.

Nope that did nothing.
To clarify, I have manually edited registry values for both AccentColor and AccentColorInactive to be different color than one selected in settings and it was working fine until yesterday.
Now after every reboot, UAC prompt or GPU driver restart the value reverts.
I might have to fiddle with registry permissions to lock everyone out of modifying DWM key entirely but that seems suboptimal if there are better ways.

I've installed win11 IoT LTSC and I'm getting "ms-gamebar" popups whenever I connect a controller. I've donde some registry changes but didn't work; do anyone have a solution?

>>109140750
So the usual
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR
>AppCaptureEnabled = 0
>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
>GameDVR_Enabled = 0
hasn't suppressed "ms-gamebar" popups? It usually does.
Though there's another similar key focused on controllers that might fix it too.
>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\Settings\ControllerProcessor\ControllerToVKMapping
>Add the DWORD Enabled and set it to 0.

>>109140818
First two keys are in place and value 0.

Then I did this, without success

reg add HKCR\ms-gamebar /f /ve /d URL:ms-gamebar 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebar /f /v "URL Protocol" /d "" 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebar /f /v "NoOpenWith" /d "" 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebar\shell\open\command /f /ve /d "\`"$env:SystemRoot\System32\systray.exe\`"" 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebarservices /f /ve /d URL:ms-gamebarservices 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebarservices /f /v "URL Protocol" /d "" 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebarservices /f /v "NoOpenWith" /d "" 2>&1 >''
reg add HKCR\ms-gamebarservices\shell\open\command /f /ve /d "\`"$env:SystemRoot\System32\systray.exe\`"" 2>&1 >''

Key: ControllerToVKMapping is not present, made the folder and DWORD, gonna test. Thanks anon.

This is why I consider anyone who says "Microslop" unironically bo be subhuman. It's all ragebait bullshit, low quality "human slop" content people gobble up like crazy because they became addicted to feeling negativity all the time.

Everything about this video's thumbnail should be enough for (You) to not even click it. SteamOS shilling? Check, the average mongoloid will only switch to Linux if they switch to SteamOS because they're cattle and care about the corporate branding, not the software itself. Microslop? Check, the average mongoloid loves to parrot this word and every time they do they feel like they're special or "owning" Microsoft in any way. Infographics Show? One of the worst engagement farms on YouTube that no self-respecting human being would pay any attention to, and ideally would use BlockTube to hide it from their feed. Hell, a self-respecting human being will unplug from the algo feed altogether.

tl;dr you're a faggot for willingly watching this garbage instead of thinking for yourself.

Does it also happen during a logoff/logon/account lock, by any chance? Reminds me of how the LogonUI process restored the default color scheme configuration (from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors, AFAIR), which was quite a nuisance when using a custom visual style

>>109142429
>Does it also happen during a logoff/logon/account lock, by any chance?
Yes but the color it uses is not the one in CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors nor in aero.theme.
It's based on modern settings accent color (because I have >>109140595 checkbox enabled) so the new behaviour is technically not a bug.
aero.theme might work with checkbox disabled though, where it uses white for both active and inactive windows in either light or dark mode.

No. Pretty much all of MAS is lifted from others.

I think I've had enough of it. I gave it a year, it's slow, shitty power saver features on optimus laptops, retarded task bar and start menu, out of memory issues on a 64GB machine, and I genuinely struggle to find out any pros over 10 LTSC. WiFi 7 support is the only extra. Two systems that I have used it on, both experience massive DPC latency issues after hours of up time. I'm done with it, next week I'm going back to Win 10 LTSC.

That might be it, and it might really be a win11 issue. Last time I tried disabling swap explorer.exe went batshit with memory consumption. It never happened on 10.
On the other hand settng it way lower than ram size makes many applications fail when they try to allocate more memory than total swap size at once, even when there is enough free real ram.
And auto just makes it grow slowly but infinitely.
Only way to avoid most related issues is to manually set swap at exactly the same size as ram.

File: Gyro.webm (3.87 MB, 1920x784)

3.87 MB WEBM

I am at my wit's end here, I really need your help. I asked a week or two back about issues I was having with Genshin Impact and the gyro feature after I had upgraded my computer.
On my previous setup (Everything but the graphics card was different) whenever I would play Genshin and use the gyro it was 100% fine, no issues at all.
I recently built a new system about a month or two back and kept the graphics card but replaced everything else. Everything was fine until I went into Genshin Impact and tried using gyro at which point it does what you see in the webm. Initially I tried a repair install of Windows 11 after asking about this but that didn't fix it so earlier in the week I did a complete reinstall of my system thinking that would fully address the issues. It hasn't. I am still getting the same issue in the webm.

Things I have tried include:
>Doing a complete reinstall of the game.
>Using both USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables.
>Using both USB-A and USB-C slots on my case front.
>Using the IO USB ports instead of the front USB ports.
>Using brand new cables just in case either were defective.
>Using a Dualshock 4 and DualSense to sanity check that one of them isn't broken but no, it happens on both.
>Using Steam's calibration tool which 0's every metric out.
>Went to CEMU to use BotW to sanity check that gyro works on something else and it has zero issues whatsoever.

I can't find anyone else complaining about this issue and Genshin has not had a major patch since I did this so it has to mean it's on my end but I don't know what it could possibly be because I had to completely reinstall the game after the full system reinstall so it wiped any and all possible config files that might be causing this. Interference from the case is the only thing I can think of but that doesn't make sense because BotW works fine. Any thoughts? Mouse movement doesn't take control in controller mode unlike most games so it's not my mouse randomly spazzing out.

>>109147567
I'll give W10 a try, at least until the next W11 LTSC is out. My only concern is the meme CPU I have with P and E cores. Although, Intel lists Arrow lake as officially supported on W10: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006105/processors.html

>>109147616
Unfortunately, I >>109147398 can't give you a solution, but I have tried Genshin with a DualSense, and it worked just fine. Connected via USB. All three modes tested (yaw/roll/mixed). Steam client is not running (autostart is off) and I have no configs regarding this controller anyway. I mostly use an XBox controller. Is the firmware on your DualSense up to date? Try uninstalling the driver Windows installs for the controller via Device Manager. When you plug it back in it should reinstall.
Worth a shot, any power saving features enabled? Check the BIOS too.

>>109147734
Can't be firmware-related because it happens on a Dualshock 4 as well which can't be updated.
Can't be the driver because it happened even after a reinstall.
There's no power saving at all, I have that disabled.
I'm tried it without Steam turned on at all, still doesn't work and it was working with Steam before.

I genuinely have no idea what it could possibly be, what it only happens specifically in Genshin even when it's been fully reinstalled with nothing retained on a fresh Windows 11 reinstall, and why it happens on several gyro controllers. It was fine a month ago and now it's not. Doesn't even matter if I choose Pitch, Yaw, or Mixed, they all do it.

so i made the dumb fucking mistake of updating my bios - my pc didn't get bricked, but somehow my fucking audio broke. windows refuses to recognize my headphones, no matter what jack they're plugged in. audio through my monitor speaker works fine, but it's the headphones that refuse to now work after the bios update
i have an msi pro b760m-p, updated to the latest driver that's on msi's website, and i am on win11 iot ltsc. so far i tried the following to get the audio fixed: reinstalling all audio drivers, both realtek and the one from nvidia, having just one of each installed at a time, trying both the version given on msi's website and realtek's website, nothing. interesting thing is in device manager realtek doesn't show up under audio, just "high definition audio device" don't know if it was like that before tho.
what i haven't tried is to see if maybe some audio setting got disabled in the bios itself, seen that floating around on plebbit, problem is the settings tab in bios doesn't fucking work for me, i click advanced settings and the entire bios freezes, sometimes switches to japanese, entire screen glitches out, and will only spit me out back to boot until i hold down the power button. i'm not joking. this always happened even before i wanted to update bios, and i hoped a new version of it would fix it, but apparently not.
i don't know if i should just downgrade bios, i don't know what version i was on before, i don't know if any of the other versions beside the latest one i am on have this fucking problem, and i'm gonna be surprised if the flash boot setting that miraculously seemed to work the first time around wants to work now
anyone got a glue on what the fuck should i do?

Windows bros, I have an old Alienware laptop (i7-6700HQ, GTX 970M, 512GB NVMe M.2, 32GB DDR4). I've been daily driving Windows 10 IoT LTSC 22H2, but the last update (2 months ago) broke my PC. Every day my 8BitDo Ultimate C and DualShock 4 gets unrecognized, so I run troubleshooting and restart. Each restart gets stuck on the splash screen and force it to turn it off by keep pressing the power button for 10 seconds... Really stupid issues. I tried Linux with no such problems, but my Intel Killer wireless card isn't compatible, so no Bluetooth.
Windows 11 seems to be the only option. Install Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 is the best version for my laptop or which version should I install?

It's not EoS at all if you unlock the commerical ESU licenses using MAS. Plus there's IoT LTSC 2021 so technically 10 isn't EoS until late 2032.

I've been having an issue in Windows 11 where Windows Security won't detect TPM, but only whenever I launch it the first time.
When this happens, the Security Processor section is missing and it says 'your device doesn't meet the requirements for standard hardware security'. But after I close and re-open Windows Security, the Security Processor appears and the above message is replaced with 'meets the requirements for hardware security.'
There's nothing wrong in tpm.msc and no event logs saying that the TPM device failed or anything like that. Is this just a visual glitch?
I'm on a Ryzen 5 7600 and a MSI B650M Gaming Plus motherboard. My backup PC with a 5500X3D doesn't have this issue.

>>109168291
Looking around it seems that it's just a visual bug that can happen because it queries the fTPM state too early, thus thinking it's not there even though it is as shown in tpm.msc.
Apparently a BIOS update might fix the timing if you don't mind trying that.

Hello! for work related reasons i need ms office, i just need excel but it is my understanding that the whole suite comes along, so my questions are:
should i get office 365 and use the MAS? should i get an installer? if so which version?
Any recommendation much appreciated

>>109168674
Do you just need Excel or the whole suite? You can easily install 365 Pro Plus and activate it with Ohook to turn it into a local version (2016 Mondo.)

>>109168674
IIRC there are tools that can strip down an O365 down to only what you need, then MAS OHook will work much the same way.

>>109168781
You can just use a custom Office installer that installs whatever modules you need via either 365 Apps for Enterprise or 2024 LTSC.

>>109168674
2016 was the last office distributed as true offline retail package.
Every LTSC since then is a feature freeze of rolling 365 using the same web installer backend. There is no reason to prefer 2019 or 2021 or whatever over just the latest 365 with all the new features. Especially for Excel, the most actively developed part of ms office.
To install Excel only you can use ms deployment tool with config from https://config.office.com/deploymentsettings or write your own xml. Activation works the same no matter how many components you disable.

>>109107607
Is there an optimal office install to go with for a de-slopped (rufus) W11 LTSC install, or will they all reintroduce microsoft spyware services?

Very interesting, there's now a release notes page for windows 11 inbox apps, and microsoft seems to be releasing a june wave of updates.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/release-notes/apps/sound-recorder

I've actually been tracking inbox app updates for a few years now, because it frustrated me that there was no release notes. I figured I could at least monitor their activity, and only sometimes would I find a changelog to add to them.

I'll be putting windows back on my gaming PC for BF6, is windows 11 okay to use now or is 10 still better?

>>109172754
Use 11. If you want a clean minimal experience use IoT LTSC 2024.

>>109172944
Shall do. I've been using 11 on my work supplied laptop and didn't like how bloated it is - 16GB of RAM almost isn't enough with edge, outlook, and teams open. If it can run leaner I'll be happy, my game PC has 32GB of RAM at least.

Damn, Windows users look like that?!

Help me out bros. I've been having a reoccurring issue with my PC. Built early last year, running Windows 11.
Everything seems fine except video files, games and windows explorer file browsing windows will randomly freeze for about 20-30 seconds, this usually happens a few times per day.

It's always contained within the application so I can ALT+TAB and do other shit while waiting for the program to unfreeze but it's so annoying. None of my hardware components are being overclocked except for my RAM (DOCP is enabled but the problem still occurs when it's disabled)

One thing that happened recently I was watching a video in VLC & it froze, I switched to a Brave window where I had a Jewtube video paused and the entire window was plain white. I could pause and unpause the YT video and hear audio but after about 20 seconds the webpage went back to normal and my video in VLC unfroze, both those things happened simultaneously. Maybe that gives an idea of what it could be?

I've tried running Memtest86, Prime95 on small FFTs for a couple hours, both found nothing. I've disabled RAM overclocking & DOCP in the bios, I've reinstalled the Nvidia drivers, reinstalled the AMD drivers. I've reinstalled Windows (keeping files & apps), updated my BIOS, tried disabling hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Nothing has worked so far and I'm not sure what else to do.

Build:
MB - B650
CPU - AMD 7800X3D
GPU - RTX 4070
RAM - (x2) 16GB DDR5 6000mhz
PSU - RM850x 850W 80+

How do I check my ssd's health on windows?

>>109176911
Use the tool CrystalDiskInfo

>>109176911
Just check with any program that shows SMART.
For example HWiNFO64.
Look for reallocated sectors count or any other warnings.

>>109176947
97% and 96% i'd say that's pretty good for 2 drives that are 4 years old

>>109177007
You've been taking good care of them then. I'm guessing not daily gigabytes worth of writes then.

Why cripple yourself when you don't need to, anon-chan? Also as the other anon said getting the monthly update on a HDD takes for fucking ever.

I like the TWM approach to window management.
I like the Vim approach to text editing.
But I simply hate the Linux desktop experience.

Is that so weird?

>>109182812
Weird.

>>109182812
>But I simply hate the Linux desktop experience
Any particular reason?

What are some reasons that keep you from switching to Linux, or the most popular ones people cite? Only one I've heard is league of babies anticheat. I'm trying to decide if I should make the switch or if there's anything I'll be missing on windows.

>>109183535
I am accustomed to dealing with Windows, not with Linux.
I have my own set of software I use daily that Linux either doesn't have or has inferior alternatives.
A lot about Windows just works as there's a big company behind it so any proprietary codecs or drivers are dealt with and not up to unpaid enthusiasts to figure out.
Windows has a single ecosystem that's backwards compatible all the way to Windows NT 3.1. Linux's ecosystem is a constantly changing chaotic mess.

In many ways I prefer Windows simply because it's predictable for me. Desktop Linux is a mistake, which is especially evident with how polished and hassle-free it becomes once you use it as a server with Proxmox for example. Set it and forget it, it just works.
You have the whole X11/XLibre/Wayland debacle, something that would be unacceptable in any production ready OS but is "a part of the experience" in Linux, same with systemd vs non-systemd.
Then your choice of DE, where you have the GNOME vs KDE, X11 vs Wayland, and so on and so forth. Your choice of DE also decides on how much of the text config will be abstracted with a user friendly GUI when you don't want to fuck around in a command line to change something trivial.

Worst of all, switching to Linux means dealing with the Linux "community" which is the single worst torture you can put yourself up to.

In short: Linux is a Unix-like kernel, and Unix was never designed for graphical workstations, it's an afterthought realized by an amalgamation of extra packages, where in case of Linux it's particularly bad due to it being a scattered ecosystem of independent unpaid developers. Windows NT was written from the ground up to be a GUI OS first, which naturally makes it much nicer to use on a graphical workstation.

And I just grew up with Windows and dug around it's guts so I know how it works and how to make it behave, so I don't have a need to switch to Linux like most people.

>>109183543
I could switch to Arch or something if I wanted to but Windows is just super easy to deal with.

LTSC 2027 better have the K2 fixes

>>109189065
I'd be very surprised if it didn't. It would be built off 27H2 which would have all the fixes over the past one and a half years.

>>109189083
MS didn't release all of the K2 fixes yet and we still don't know when all of them will be out
Some of the fixes might not be out before 2028. We don't know

I'm really sick of my current Win11 install being unresponsive as fuck, I already did a lot of debloating/group policy to make it not shit, but that was on a running install.
I'm dual booting Linux and it's incredible how much more responsive everything is but Linux is just way too unwieldy in the long road.
What's the proper way to way to proceed? Win11 LTSC? I'm running a RDNA4 GPU and I heard it actually benefits from later feature updates.

>>109182123
You can do that, bu be aware that it REALLY wasn't intended for desktop use. So expect issues.

>>109191779
If you're on AMD CPU, you have to learn to affinity interrupt and use task manager or process lasso to tell everything to stop using core0. It makes everything so much more snappy on Windows. Also force a 1ms timer resolution by having Windows Media Player or VLC open.

>>109191978
>to tell everything to stop using core0
surely not literally everything? How do I tell what to run on core0?
>Also force a 1ms timer resolution by having Windows Media Player or VLC open
Are you telling me that's still a thing? Surely there's a workaround for that?
Thanks I'll look into it

>>109192061
Run latencymon, find out all your highest interrupt processes and drivers, notice how core0 has a lot more isr/dpc than other cores. You go to processes in task manager, right click the exe, and tell it to stop running on those cores. Microsoft has their own affinity interrupt tool to tell which core hardware can interrupt on. Your highest source of interrupts are going to be your mouse, gpu, network, nvme. By spreading the interrupts you are preventing cores from context switching which wastes a crap ton of time and energy.

When summed up together your processes and hardware can multicore properly instead of all fighting on a single core or worse a hyperthread.

>>109192061
For gaming and audio you want a 1ms timer resolution. If you're just idling or browsing the web the higher value is to save power.

>>109192103
does all of this apply to Win10 too?
I read that Win11 has different core scheduling and the changes they made in later updates only really help in Win11 because the issue was Win11 specific to begin with.
Considering all this, tweaking a flawed CPU scheduler seems pointless when I could just use Win10 again instead. Otherwise I'll keep it in mind
>>109192117
Yea, I'm aware of the benefits, I was just surprised it's a thing because I remember something similar being the case a decade ago

>>109192382
Applies to both Windows 10 & 11. You don't have to do any of this on Intel as they have a hardware based thread director. AMD has to rely on software aka the OS to tell it what to do and the OS is largely dumb when it comes to AMD it's up to the user to tell it what to do especially if you're not gonna use bloatware like Game Bar. Wintel grip is that strong.

Newer versions of Windows are supposed to force a 1ms Timer Resolution when it detects any audio is running but just having audio player open is enough dont even need sound.

>>109192382
>I remember something similar being the case a decade ago
It's from Source Multiplayer SDK and it's still relevawnt.

what in the actual fuck
you're telling me I can just move processes across physical cores without issues?
Is there anything that is mandatory to run on core0 and is there any good documentation to read up on optimizing this?

>>109192577
careful with changing affinities for vidya as a lot of games like setting their own affinities for stuff so u might make things worse

as for finding best least utilized cores to put irqs on:
usb => test idle on desktop or in-game while latencymon/xperf/xtw are in bg (try making it repeatable)
gpu => run in-game benchmark to test dpc/isr behavior
or https://github.com/valleyofdoom/AutoGpuAffinity for synthetic
network => run iperf w/ udp or tcp
audio => game, youtube, foobar, mic (tho this can be put in usb)

https://github.com/valleyofdoom/PC-Tuning#kernel-mode-scheduling-interrupts-dpcs-and-more

>>109193843
also linux is very good at scheduling irqs and in my testing just copying the linux affinities from cat /proc/interrupts is also the best configuration for windows but test it urself

>>109192382
>I was just surprised it's a thing
its not
global timer resolution hasnt been a thing since w10 2004+ its per process now (and its better that way as background shit can stay at lower timer resolution and get serviced less)

basically just dont mess with it in newer windows version

Got a brand new pc with my old ssd, having activation issues because of this.
Tried to activate via powershell and it failed, said I needed to run the Fix Licensing option. Done that and it supposedly "worked" but my w11 is still not activated in the settings. So I tried to activate again and it still failed.
Not sure what to so from here on out other than buying some cheap key online. Is there no way around it?
