the new update was so good that we don't have any anons with issues so the thread died

How smooth is it going from W10 to 11? I don't need format my PC and everything, do I?

>>110256780
it's fine, depends on how old is your install and the programs you have installed, but usually everything stays just as functional. The biggest annoyance is the bloat that gets installed and some configurations they change here and there, but if you can put up with that it's fine.

ofc clean install is always better to avoid any sort of unexpected behaviors, but from my experience, upgrading works fine.

if you want to be very cautious you can clone your drive to have it as a backup in case something doesn't work, Windows itself lets you roll back but I'm not sure how reliable that is

Usecase for Win11 besides 6E wifi?

>>110257116
Well 11 also does WiFi 7 as well. Native system-wide DoH is pretty nice too.

I made the same question over at the boys on /tpg/ but only after the fact i realised its a windows question.

Anyway im getting an R61 and i want it to be a WinXP machine but im debating whether or not to put it online also. Are XP machines getting infected the moment they connect online as they say or is it a bunch of bull? Can you at least browse/youtube securely or what?

>>110257465
Getting an XP machine online is a pretty dicey bargain. There's browsers like r3dfox or Supermium which allow you get online with modern security but otherwise you might want to look into final versions of firewall programs that had a last XP version to get some protection there because XP's firewall is not good.

>>110257609
Im planning to use Legacy Update on it of course which by the way, i have to get online for it to begin with so i hope i dont get "instantly pwned" like people online say. Also i wouldnt do anything huge online. Browsing/Youtube and games at best but it would be nice to just be able to do all this safely. Hope these firewall programs arent performance hogs either.

>>110257661
Well yeah if the first thing you do is run Legacy Update then it should be fine to use, though I'd still use r3dfox/Supermium.to get a modern net experience on something so old.

>>110256724
Asides from my Panasonic Gentoo 'top, I install W11 iot ltsc on my X280 as my side bitch to update firmwares and whatnot.

>>110258077
Definitely a use case.

i am under impression that the last windows 11 update made a horde of recent switchers to linux come back. this served us well, microsoft will fix stuff for everyone and they learned a lesson. idiots learned that pc is not only about gaming, which undoubtedly works fine on linux

Anons, where the fuck do I get nvidia control panel from? I do not want to install the new nvidia slop app. No reason, right? I can't find it on the nvidia website and I don't want to go to some shady githubs from random guys. Microsoft store is not installed because I'm on LTSC - fuck the store.
Also - do I disconnect from the internet while doing HWID?

>>110261466
You get it by using the MS Store / Winget.
Or get it on another PC then transfer it via USB.

what's the best way to handle drivers and updates? do you install internet driver first, block drivers from w update and run the update service, then drivers.

or do you install all drivers first then run windows update after?

>>110261492
what a fucking pain in the ass bro

>>110261492
Alright - the slop - does the Nvidia App work? Is it "good"? Not too big of a shovellware?

>>110261567
>does the Nvidia App work?
Way better than GeForce Experience, which isn't much but does it's job I guess.
>Is it "good"?
It's 'servicable', again, way better than GeForce Experience - however they still didn't port all legacy settings from NVCP.
>Not too big of a shovellware?
If you care about overriding DLSS and/or using Shadowplay to record shit then no, if you do not care about those then it's worthless.
I might be wrong about this but AFAIK you cannot adjust things like REBAR per game with NVCP, so if you care about that too it exists.
(also 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in nVidia App has been bugged for ~7 driver versions now)

I have windows backup appearing on app history, sending information through the network (like 200mb) I don't know why this is happening, it should be disabled and I don't want any backups at all.

Damn we still cannot hide 'Get Started' from the Start Menu?

>>110261542
I usually just let Windows Update install drivers for anything that isn't my graphics card. I uninstall the graphics driver it installs with DDU then use NVCleanstall to install a debloated one myself.

>>110261542
I disable the 'Driver' & 'Manufacturer Apps' automatic downloads / updates, no point in them. Download WiFi drivers manually to an USB if you use it.
Then just update your Chipset & GPU drivers as needed, you shouldn't be that lazy, besides Windows sometimes fucks them up and/or has older versions.

>>110261466
>>110261567
Nigga just download the drivers from the nvidia website and during the install choose to only install the drivers and not the nvidia app
That will give you the control panel

>>110259334
Are you dual booting it with Linux? It treats system clock as UTC by default while Windows changes it to local time.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time?useskin=vector#UTC_in_Microsoft_Windows

>>110261567
If you want to remove the bloat, install with NVCleanStall and it will also give you the legacy NVIDIA Control Panel, which should generally be enough I think?

>>110263126
It doesn't give you the legacy panel anymore but it can still install the Nvidia App in a nerfed state.

I just downloaded and installed a new Windows 11 Pro install and it doesnt come with bloat anymore and is really snappy.

I guess all the shit we gave them is getting to them.

>>110263239
yeah so far the K2 initiative doesn't just look like PR shit, they're actually fixing quite some stuff, still very far from the snappiness and usability of W7, but I'm starting to feel like if they keep this going it's going to overcome W10, they just need to fix the slow UI and other annoying stuff.

As for telemetry sadly I don't think they're going to backtrack on that ever, but at least the debloaters are getting better and more fool-proof so it's not that difficult to get a less intrusive Windows

Emulated new OOT remake. Shut down PC, started it up again today, pin login doesn’t work. Can’t login to my own PC, seems like the downloads changes my security info, which I didn’t know was possible? Or is this just a really inconvenient/coincidental bug?
Will factory reset through startup be enough or am I completely & utterly fucked? Would truly appreciate any and all help with my intellectual disability. Thank you for the philanthropy.

>>110262795
>and not the nvidia app
I installed the Nvidia App and also got the control panel. That anon must have done something wrong.

>>110264069
>I installed the Nvidia App
My point is that you don't even need the app
When you download drivers from the Nvidia website, the installer lets you choose between installing the driver and app, or just the driver without any app, which still gives you the control panel

>>110264069
>>110264113
The guy probably ran some retarded de-bloaters on top of LTSC, some of those block NVCP installs like they block Razer software etc.

>>110264817
I remember seeing the Massgrave team complaining about people running "debloat" or "privacy" tools that do shit they don't understand and complaining about stuff being broken
Not saying you shouldn't do whatever you want with your OS, but a lot of people complain about stuff they don't understand

>>110264869
The MAS team probably do as much support desking about people complaining MAS doesn't work because of their much too deep debloating as they do actually working on MAS.

>>110265020
>people complaining MAS doesn't work because of their much too deep debloating
This would only be a case if you somehow removed Settings + Power Shell out of Windows, don't think anyone does that.

>>110265053
I have heard that some people somehow kill Settings

>>110264053
how does that even happen? do you have to download shady slopped apps to emulate that thing?

Alright so I'm finally ready to migrate to windows 11. But i have a question regarding drivers:
Do I still need to manage the drivers myself or is windows 11 finally smart enough to just let it do it itself?
I'm tired of having to update chipset and stuff like that when installing windows.

>>110274035
11's driver installing is usually pretty painless, though I still install graphic drivers manually.

I installed and activated with massgrave and made a local account last year. I saw some headlines that they're actively trying to disable local account creation. How much effort is it to make a local account right now?

I really wonder what MS is going to do about this long term, like, they probably gave up on their current activation system, but I assume they might redo the whole thing at some point. Even if the assumptions are true and they benefit from piracy to keep people on Windows, I think it's still a bad look for them to have such a cucked activation system

>>110279251
who exacty is going to think its a negative that windows is easy to activate?
nobody wants windows to become mac

>>110279251
They'll only redo their whole activation stack at some point when they stop using Vista's carcass as a base that they just kept building on, as the current stack came from it.

>>110279251
they don't really care and they haven't in 40 years

Absolutely nothing, software marketshare will always beat piracy, they simply do not give a fuck as long as those stats are pumping.
And on top of that you always give them even the most basic diagnostics/data, pirated or not, they will never care.

i'm having a really annoying problem with Microsoft Edge, namely since few months it REFUSES to sync my data between computers and my smartphone and forces my sync option (in my settings) to off when i activate them.
i used google overview AI to help me fix the issue and to my surprise it was a bigger help than the forum pajeets of MS, so i fixed the issue for one (1) time, checked Edge://sync-internals and resync from my local data to the MS server (and it reached 100% and worked), i tested my three devices online all at once and it was just working fine again, it would sent favorites from one PC to another and to the phone without issue, then i didn't use my other PC for some time (it was shut down and offline) and used it again and tada, this sync bug is back again !
i cannot sync my main data (favorites and all) from my main computer to my secondary computer and my phone as well, the Microsoft server is glitching or something.
i'm going insane, does anyone have a real solution or should i wait for MS to fix their crap in one or two years when they feel like it ?
i'm almost tempted to switch everything to Firefox because at least they don't have this problem and i can use it on my phone...

it can also happen with I7 or I9 CPU's of the 13th and 14th gen, if you have one it's probably your CPU that is damaged and unstable, contact Intel for a replacement.

>>110286019
thx, I'm on 12600 series so it's not it

>>110286223
then test your RAM sticks one by one (if you have multiple) and you'll know if one is failing, disabling XMP can help but generally the 12th gen CPU's are very stable like the 13th and 14th gens for the RAM.
a failing NVME drive is generally (in most cases) a black screen crash (total crash, not blue screen) after booting the motherboard and reaching Windows.
first it loads the MOBO (you see the logo and all) then either instantly black screen crash or it crashes few seconds after the Windows startup screen.

The last two years I've been messing with Linux as a replacement for my work machines since Windows seemed to be unreliable and the last thing Is wanted was to be losing time fixing it.
Turns out... While Windows may break from time to time and most of the time fix itself. Linux breaks ALL the fucking time and YOU are responsible to fixing it. You lose so much fucking time and effort just to keep it working.
Every distro has flaws, quirks, bugs and general unprofessional fuckery, even the so called corporate distros where professional engineers are paid to keep things working. There's no escape.
It really made me realize how amazing windows really is. Sure it has a ton of shit too (what doesn't nowadays) but at least you can be sure it'll work one way or another. Even with all the poo indians are dumping into it. Its resilience really is the work of the whitests of men.

My problem with windows 11 and the new is they do is that they are getting bloated and bloated and we have no alternative, because Linux it's not an alternative. We don't have "it's windows but better and on Linux" yet.

Do you know Linux had no default folder to install programs? Are we nuts?

>>110290926
Of course there is. If you want the most debloated-by-default version of 11 just use IoT LTSC 2024; just flash the ISO to a USB with Rufus and you're all good.

>>110290951
I heard that it's worse than the 10 debloated version and it had stuff I can't remove but I don't know.

I have windows 10 in my main PC and despite using shutup10 it slowly creeps in the updates and bullshit and I have to use scripts again.

But genuinely, I can't use Linux.
The options are to use windows and deal with the spyware or not use a computer at all because Linux doesn't fuck work. I can't waste more time setting shit on Linux, I'm becoming crazy. I don't know what the fuck people do with windows or Linux, I genuinely believe these people that day windows had a ton of errors and Linux is better are larping, because despite this bloat ware bullshit I've never had any problems with windows.

You already got the answer but just to second it, W11 IoT LTSC 2024 is the most debloated edition you can get. Alternatively W11 Education is a fine option if you want some bloat to make it a daily usage OS.

I mean how to debloat it on top of that. With windows 10 ltsc you could remove more stuff from it and disable updates and some telemetry

So this update acted like a fresh install for me, even made a windows.old folder, anyone else got it?

This update killed my OpenGlass unfortunately and it can't hook up the DWM.dll or something because Windows didn't get its symbols yet or something. I guess I just have to wait a few days until they're released? It sucks that's what happened.

Also my other computer is constantly failing to install the security update and stays at Pending Download. Why is that?

The web app is much more sandboxed thanks to your browser. Better if you don't want it snooping as much.

I need an antivirus. Not for me, but the retards at my workplace

Any recommendations? I've heard about Malwarebytes but I'm looking for something with active protection

>>110298388
Malwarebytes Free isn't a simple scanner anymore it's a Defender replacement that keeps asking you to get the pro version but is still Malwarebytes in scanner quality.
Other then that there's BitDefender or ESET which are both good if for some reason your workmates can't just use Defender.

>>110298402
>ESET
How was I supposed to gain access to this one again? Last time I checked I was redirected to Telegram, but I ended up doing nothing afterwards
>if for some reason your workmates can't just use Defender
Frow what I heard and saw, they're bound to install games from sketchy places and connect infected USBs

>>110298433
Must specify I'm asking about the key, if you do know

TSforge

Added Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 ESU.
Removed year 6 ESU update activation.
Added auto-removal for year 4-6 ESU licenses, which prevent update detection.

Ohook

Changed Smart App Control detection message.

All

Added guidance for activating Office on Remote Desktop host.

>>110298481
Oh I see, so it was actually a bug and the updates need to be re-enabled with this version. Good to know.

>>110298433
So like are you in an actual business environment and need to use enterprise versions of the anitivirus? Or is it a small business that doesn't need something like that?

>>110298491
Wait, so pic related was because of MAS?

>>110298499
It's just some military dudes using the same personal laptop, I'm not spending money on an antivirus

>>110298510
Like the changelog says it seems to be something to do with the 4-6 year cert which the new MAS doesn't add first run/removes for you from now on.

>>110298518
Then I'd probably just recommend Malwarebytes Free or BitDefender Free.

>>110298543
It's alright, I just remembered how I'm supposed to pirate ESET. Still, thanks a lot

My windows 7 just installed an update. Did something catastrophically bad happen somewhere? we are years away from end of support.

I'm using w10 enterprise iot ltsc 21h2, should I do a fresh install of w11 enterprise iot ltsc 26h2 from the massgrave archive? Last time I tried w11 it was a bloated unoptimized unresponsive mess.

>>110298681
IoT LTSC 2024 is based on 24H2 (with 2027 based on 27H2 coming next October.)
It's the least bloated 11 by default like 2021 is the least bloated 10, and because of how in-place upgrading works you can install update your 2021 install to 2024 via mounting the ISO and using setup.exe.

>>110298681
>w11 enterprise iot ltsc 26h2
There is no such thing

>>110291004
>No wifi
Enable it in Features, as you have since Server 2008.
>or bluetooth
Server 2025 finally includes a reasonably full Bluetooth stack, For older versions, install a third-party stack, such as Toshiba's OEM Bluetooth stack, which never failed to work for me.

>>110298770
Very likely he saw "IoT Enterprise 26H2", then hallucinated the "LTSC" part.

>>110294785
Okay, now the local time on my browser isn't syncing. I don't even know how to replace the battery.

Here I reading the latest 23H2 (KB5131087) update data and it says this is the end of updates for Enterprise and Education security patch and won't be getting any more of these montly security updates...
It's Over, should I wait for the next windows?

How long till a Non IoT version of Windows 11 Enterprise 26h2 is out?

how do I force my pc to automatically sleep after inactivity while running programs that don't allow it for no good reason?

Interesting update, it did an in-place Upgrade/Repair for me even though it Downloaded/Installed with 0 issues. Also DISM + SFC + CHKDSK showed up clean without errors after wards.
Thanks for resetting my Services, Microsoft.

anyones windows defender stopped displaying notifs after the last update? it's not even listed under recent notifications and the tray thing is on + on startup

should i remove my D: and E: drives before installing windows 11 ltsc?

>>110302943
If clean install would not hurt to remove them for installation and then plug them back in once everything is done.
Might as well install every program before adding the drives, some retards write programs to shit their data on the D drive if available.

>>110302943
yeah it's usually recommended to do that

Will it be worth to wait for the LTSC 2027? thinking of leaving Enterprise 11 next year when I get enough money for my new GPU and PSU

>>110305312
https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/were-not-getting-windows-12-next-year-but-windows-11-27h2-is-rumored-to-be-a-huge-change-and-its-an-update-microsoft-just-cant-afford-to-mess-up

>>110305312
I would say yes, because 2027 will have all the feature pack-centric K2 fixes baked right in, so in hope it'll be the 2021 of 11 and everyone will just default to going to it if they wanna use LTSC.

>>110305312
using the latest LTSC is always worth it if you want the most debloated system ootb.

>>110256780
just backup files and fresh reinstall
literally takes 15mins

K2 is actually bringing a lot of serious improvements, so if they keep this up, 27H2 is gonna be pretty solid

So is Windows 11 finally usable or should I stick with W10 for another year?

>>110306613
I've tried 26H2 for about a month
It's a lot better than before, but to me it still doesn't feel as snappy as W10

>>110306613
you're fine for a while

>reinstall Windows 11 yesterday
>audio suddenly starts buzzing and goes quiet in browser and games and I have to close it and open it back to get audio working (Has already happened 3 times today)
What the fuck....
I guess I'll try to restart and see if it happens again, hopefully not....

>>110256724
IoT LTSC 2027 when it comes out is the
>UI being rewritten in native WinUI
a good thing? I only ask because I'll probably have to use some version of Windows 11 eventually. Will it most likely have the ads and annoying stuff disabled like IoT LTSC 10?

>>110309006
Yes it means it'll feel more snappy overall.

Sometimes when I'm going through videos in my playlist in mpv my entire screen blinks for a split second. I have an nvidia gpu and I'm using mpv-git. Any known fixes for this?

>>110309891
Windows or Linux? Though I must admit I've had this on both operating systems. It doesn't happen a lot, but never understood why. I did notice it was worse on X11 on Linux though.

>>110309938
Windows. I haven't experienced this back when i was on linux. It's not even that annoying because of how rarely it happens and it's not like it happens while watching videos. But I still wonder why it happens.

you guys think its worth migrating to windows 11 on my ryzen 5 4500 or nah

>>110309891
The issue seems to disappear when my laptop monitor is on

>>110312435
Nevermind. I'm just fucked I guess

1-2.5 ram size drive for readyboost perhaps

>If you have previously activated Windows 10 ESU, please reactivate it using this version.
So I don't gotta do anything if I'm on W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021?

>>110314103
As it says, normal LTSC now has ESU you can activate. Though why not just convert it to IoT LTSC already?

>>110314103
>So I don't gotta do anything if I'm on W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021?
Nope since you're not on ESU

>Microsoft servers are down
>windows update just appeared in the notifications tray
should i trust this is a legit update? what if the servers are hijacked

>>110317197
I believe only their Office suite services are down, other stuff is fine

>>110298510
I got this shit even though the last update installed fine
anyone else?

>>110318186
as the post says, it could be caused by MAS so reactivating should solve it. if not, then it's probably a windows bug and doesn't mean the update is not installed

for some reason i havent gotten the monthly updates on windows 10 ESU
whats going on?

>>110319021
You need to run the latest MAS and re-enable the ESU updates to remove the Year 4-6 certs as they're stopping the Year 2 updates from being seen by Windows Update. After you've done that just search for updates again and the November 2026 update will pop up.

>>110319049
damn so microsoft changed something regarding ESU
i was wondering, i only got the malware removal tool update

>>110319181
Same boat. I only learned to use MAS again from an anon posting the latest changelog in here.

>>110308992
Nevermind it happened again
What the fuck, this never happened before

>>110319798
This never happened before on my previous installs*
I have no idea what could be fucked to cause the audio to get broken 2-3 times a day

is it possible to upgrade 10 IoT LTSC to 11 non LTSC?

>>110326530
It will be less of an upgrade, more like shitty install over.
Better to clean install in that case.

>>110326561
>Better to clean install in that case.
in that case whats the best way to backup my current installation before clean installing 11?

>>110326567
External drive for your personal data.
Everything that can be easily redownloaded should be.
Just make screenshots of everything installed and install everything again after clean install.
The usual stuff.

Windows 11 26H2 is unironically better than W10 & W8.1 when it comes to speed and responsiveness. Cannot wait for the LTSC version.

>>110328684
buy a fucking ad microsoft

>>110328692
I don't think they need them considering they don't even care about MAS/Piracy.

The new preview update is good as hell on AMD CPU/GPU everything is much faster

>>110328828
Don't speak too soon or your drivers are gonna time out.

>>110328955
I do compiling, audio subspace, and real time rendering. The three most stressful things on a CPU , RAM, & GPU.

Recently upgraded to win 11. Does the nvidia app have any exclusive features that only work with it, or can I just use Control Panel?

>>110329123
All the new DX12, Vulkan, DLSS and FG options are in the Nvidia app. The control panel is for legacy options (DX11 and older).

>>110329673
Also IIRC the newer driver installers don't even include the legacy control panel anymore just the App. Though something like NVCleanstall can install the App while also disabling a lot of its garbage.

>>110329673
>>110329713
thanks

>>110328684
Gonna do an upgrade tomorrow on my old laptop with w10 ltsc. We'll see if you're telling the truth. If not, then you're a faggot.

>>110330916
He's lying
On W10 pressing Ctrl+Shift+N creates a new folder instantly, and deleting a file is also instant
On W11 there's still a short delay
