>>109958712
the 26H2 update doesn't actually have any updates, it's just an enablement file that says "now you're on 26H2 yay!"

MS does it this way because 24H2 and 25H2 are going to get most of the same updates that 26H2 will get, so they're basically the same, for now at least

I got W10 installed on a (now faulty) HDD that is fucked right in the partition where the system is installed, and the self-repair can't fix it. Is there a repair suite I can install into a USB drive to try and save the system with for the time being?
>>
>>109967869
if it's a hardware issue I doubt you could save the system. Probably you shouldn't even try before backing up your stuff.

If you want to backup some of your stuff you can use Hiren's Boot CD or a Linux live USB with NTFS support to recover some of your files. There's also the path of cloning the drive, but if the HDD is damaged, that could fuck it more or it could take ages to complete, if it does at all, so I wouldn't recommend that
>>
>>109967970
Linux is useless when it comes to NTFS. Only windows can really fix NTFS issues, assuming that's what it is.
>>
>>109968489
nah a live linux usb can transfer files from the bad drive and format it
i have a usb with linux mint on it that i use to handle partitions and stuff with gparted
>>
Anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? These are two completely separate external USB 3 drives. One is the WD Passport and the other is a 4TB G-Drive. I know WD makes G-Drive, so is this just WD and Windows not communicating properly and there is nothing I can do?
>>
>>109968820
forgot pic because I am retard
>>
>>109968823
maybe they're both internally called "My Passport 0740" and windows is retarded
>>

Yeah... I am shocked WD + Windows have disappointed me.
>>
>>109968937
i don't have a windows machine handy atm to double check, but see if there's an "eject" option when viewing one of the volumes in my computer
>>
>>109968967
Nope. I think both drives are too big for Windows to consider them removable. The actual WD Passport is 750GB.
The Passport drive is what introduces the glitch it seems. Other external drives (including Western Digital ones) don't create this scenario.
>>
>>109969017
the drive could be reporting or interpreted as not removable, though it shouldn't appear in the "safely remove" dialogue if that were the case.
i know you can change the write caching behaviour of drives in windows, though i'm not sure off the top of my head whether this has an effect on whether it shows up in "safely remove" or not
>>
>>109969035
Yeah, I just meant in the context of being able to ejected from "My Computer." Windows makes determinations of what it considers "fixed" drives or removable drives that can be right click -> ejected. Otherwise you have to go through the Safe Remove menu.

Bros, I'm currently trying W11 because I thought I should give it a chance and it's a bit shit
My CPU fan revs up just from opening simple Windows settings menus, and that's after disabling effects and shit
I did the regedit to open the old right click menu by default and while it's faster, it's still not as instantaneous
Even simple shit like the sound menu has a delay
Might genuinely go back to W10 IoT LTSC 2021

>>
>>109956746
except nothing works. you own nothing. they watch you jack off through your front camera. they keep track of your every activity. they keep track of everyone you ever interact with. you can't change a comma without the trustedinstaller^tm's permission. you can't delete edge, you lose 20 gigs of ram in the middle of ramocalypse just to run their desktop (plus spyware), the system scans through EVERYTHING it can see whenever you leave it idle, butchering your ssd's so it can do "indexing", touching and repowering your hdd's every 30 seconds, force feed you updates the milisecond it sees the smidge of an internet connection. Only reason it works is because they were the only realistic option for 20 years, and every programmer on God's green earth wrote their shit for the standard. Now people got fed up, valve seen the opportunity in jumping ships and the standard has changed, people are moving to a free platform, something you can't control, you can't monetize, you can't fill every nook and cranny with flock cameras and i promise you they are losing their minds.

I came from windows in 2020. I sat through the pain and suffering of learning arch, I still liked it because shit is MINE. It's mine to change it and break it and own the fucking thing i payed money for. 4chan likes to throw shit at random stuff, much like monkeys in a zoo. Don't make a mistake, linux is the best thing that happened in software. It will replace windows everywhere, it's only a question of when.

So if you really wanted a reason to hate windows, here; hate it with a good conscience. I will still install it on a shitty ssd with sata port, because my friends wanna play league twice a year.
>>
>>109975894
yeah after a fresh install it does shit for about 1 or 2 days. I usually leave it on for the whole day so it finishes doing shit, as far as I'm concerned it's mostly because of indexing and updates, which is funny because search sucks ass, but it's normal that Windows takes a while to stabilize

Run the command in Powershell then use the option to change your Windows edition
I think it should activate the new edition automatically, but check your activation status in Windows when it's done just to be sure
If you're not activated after switching editions, just use MAS to activate with HWID (should be the first option in the main menu)

>>109970973
>completely clean install
I find they take a little while to 'settle' after installing all the updates, turning 90% of the shit off, running a sfc /scannow which will find things wrong for absolutely no reason etc, then you get a sense of its performance.
One other thing you will notice is defender will steal your performance anytime some disk heavy shit is happening, there’s a group policy to strangle the cunt with a cpu % ceiling (mine is 20%) or just disable it for the duation of the install, really lets the system gallop when that freak isn't on patrol I would have it off the entire time you're still setting up and installing all your shit.
The other thing is changing cpu turbo to efficient, if its an amd i find they're always too aggressive, set to it as well. Will whirr the fans for the slightest thing.

hi all
I want to reinstall windows 10 home ed. on a laptop (it came with windows 10 home ed, just want to format the machine). Do I need to do anything special/specific or will it just activate itself?
>>
>>109985677
If the version of Home that was on the machine was already activated then it should re-activate when it connects to the internet. Though really being stuck to Home isn't really a thing anymore when you can just turn that Home install into an Enterprise one and activate it with MAS.
>>
>>109985680
thanks. regarding upgrading to enterprise/lstc/whatever, its an old computer used by a senior and i want to format/reinstall stuff because i suspect it may be compromised in some way. i want to restore it to whatever it was, as close as possible so i dont have to field 'why is this different in so and so way'
>>
>>109985753
It should have no real perceptible difference to them if you just set it all up as they expect, though if they're an old person they probably don't give a shit about the telemetry and shit like that. But if you do change it to Enterprise and such and turn off the telemetry and shit they might be surprised how much speedier it might feel without those background services constantly happening.
>>
>>109985753
>i suspect it may be compromised in some way
In that case you'll be doing a full wipe and clean install with a USB installer and there will be no difference between Home or Enterprise for a casual user, and Enterprise will give you access to group policies which are basically advanced settings that let you turn telemetry off and stuff (but again, a regular user will never have to interact with that)
Also, you'll have to use MAS anyway to activate the commercial ESU if you want this laptop to get security updates until Oct 2028

I'm not, I'm in fact clearly stating I don't know anything at all. I think its fair to assume that 99.99+% of people have not read any of the code, documented or not and have no idea about its inner workings. To bring up the arch example again, the source code was also available in the compromised packages and people still got owned.

>It's been completely open source on github for over 6 years
open source doesn't mean anything unless its being actively audited. one bad actor slips in a malicious commit and everyone's fucked. The massgrave and MDL people have always been a weird group, they don't seem like skiddies or any group thats interested in being malicious but at the end of the day remember that this is all to get around legitimate activation processes (no matter how convoluted and shitty the official procedures are)

Can you go from Windows 10 Education to Windows 11 Educstion?

How unusable is Windows 11 on an Intel 6700k processor?
>>
>>109986635
Yeah, all you need to do is get a common consumer 11 ISO from massgrave/os.click and burn it to a USB with Rufus, then within that USB you run the setup.exe and in-place upgrade to 11 Education with its included requirement bypasses.

the triggers in my controller seems worn out, so i can't accelerate to full in racing games. i tried windows's built in calibration, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue. how can i fix it? please don't just say "remap it to w", cause that causes issues in games like gta, like walking forward when trying to shoot.
>>
>>109988646
calibrate them in driftguard, if your controller is supported it saves the calibration on the controller firmware itself

>Windows froze and had to manually reset
Time to format and reinstall

Should I use MSMG to debloat my install? What are the chances of fucking it up? I already made an ISO from reading the OP.
>>

Check event logs.
>>
>>109997296
a bit too soon don't you think? I think windows freezing is not necessarily a sign of the OS being fucked. sometimes could be rare RAM errors. If it freezes regularly or throws BSOD maybe that's the sign that something is indeed wrong

Does anyone who is familiar with process explorer know why my GPU usage report does not appear correctly? it used to work just fine like 6 months ago or longer, task manager sees it just fine, and these engines all report nothing except two of them for my OBS encoding, I play something or render and it stays at seven % and the engines are all blank except two, I've tried reinstalling and updating and clearing the cache to no avail, I'm on 10 IoT LTSC

Yeah Ninite is incredibly useful for certain bundles of programs; though in the future you could also use winget to get programs pretty similarly

For me it's scoop, I just love that keeps my system "clean" with portable software.

where Sophie?

Scoop's great for CLI stuff and if you need things portable. Ninite/Scoop/Winget are my top three.

Yeah, Scoop is great because you know whatever you install with it will be added to PATH

Been using essentially the same computer (have swapped out ram and vid card, added extra hard drive) since 2011. Finally decided to stop putting things off and get a new system.
I've never upgraded from Windows 7 on my current computer. How much bloat does 11 actually install with by default?
>>
>>110003173
Installing 11 via either the latest Business ISO (Enterprise only has first party inclusions) or IoT LTSC 2024 (doesn't even have those, just the minimal system apps) is the way to go.

You already "have it", or rather have all the features on your PC, the update is literally just an enablement package like if you were using ViveTool to Enable features.

it should do if you use it on the same machine as its hwid activated.

>>110009374
This. If you use HWID while in the To Go install then the handheld's ID would be the activation so any IoT LTSC installs ran on it should just activate properly.

every time i shutdown my computer, it currently wants to update, and every time it boots after that, it says the update failed and has to revert to the current version I already have (and has to reboot again)

anyone having the same thing happening? I'd be happy if it doesnt even try to update too
>>
>>110010608
Repair upgrade your current install with the same ISO you used to make the USB. Mount it, run the setup.exe and basically "install" it again.
That kind of thing isn't normal.
>>
>>110010623
will that keep all of my data or do i boot from the usb and wipe?

also, that usb is over a year old, why would I revert to such an old version?
>>
>>110010623
>That kind of thing isn't normal.
Considering how many people hack their installs (replace system files, fiddle ACLs etc.), it's actually annoyingly common.
As such, I would suggest the sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth two-step first, before going all-in for a repair install.
>>
>>110011084
>sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth two-step first
could you rephrase or go into detail what that means? are those commands, or basic system health checks?

it's a minor annoyance to have my pc boot twice every time, but I'd still be happy if it didnt

also, there's basically nothing on it. i activated windows using powershell script as shown in this thread, and then installed a win7 skin, but thats it concerning system modification. it's a very simple gaming machine
>>
>>110011419
sfc /scannow

Invokes the system file checker, which verifies that your Windows files aren't scrambled in some way. Among other things, it checks that they're not corrupted by verifying checksums against The Great Catalogue in WinSxS repository, that they're properly hardlinked to WinSxS, that their ACLs are correct, etc.
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

This verifies that the WinSxS repository itself is in good health, and redownloads (if you haven't kneecapped it with a memescript) missing/damaged assemblies, manifests etc. if it isn't.
They're actually an excellent pair of tools: I managed to rebuild an entire Windows install from a "deleted system32" situation by alternating back and forth between sfc and dism until it redownloaded and rehardlinked all the files back into place.
Indeed, you should alternate between the commands until both report that there are no errors. This is the part many people skip - as demonstrated, both tools repair Windows installs, but have entirely different responsibilities as part of that process.
>>
>>110011492
Running the dism command first and then sfc usually ends up with "repaired broken files" messages instead of it saying that it found some but couldn't fix them.
>>
>>110011512
It's why you alternate between them. The worst case scenario is:
>run sfc -> cant fix your windows install because the sxs assemblies are borked and you need dism to fix it
>run dism -> cant fix your winsxs repo because servicing stack is manged and you need sfc to fix it
In practice though, as you alternate, sfc will fix more, then dism will fix more, then sfc will fix more, then dism will fix more... after one, or ten, or 250 runs, you'll end up with "No system file violations detected" and "All SxS assemblies are healthy".
Just running one then the other doesn't cut it. You run both until both report everything is OK.
