Is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC safe for online banking?

>>108915806
nigga ATMs still run on XP

>>108915806
Anon it's not a special operating system, it's just 10 Enterprise with a different license, no third/first-party bloat and updates until late 2032. It's actually made for things like ATMs.

Just finished installing the new KB on 11 LTSC and I felt the improvement before I rebooted. Actions Center and Notifications are snappier, Explorer (that I don't even use) feels smoother, generally an improvement showing that K2 is in fact real and Microsoft gives a shit about making 11 better. Though they're yet to improve on my gripe with 11 which is that the keyboard layout selector has a laggy delay that it didn't have on 10.

>>108916933
Just imagine how good LTSC 2027 will be when it comes out if the K2-led fixes are already coming

>>108916993
Even now LTSC 2024 isn't that bad compared to LTSC 2021 from my day's worth of desktop experience after the switch. Really, it's all just UI being kinda ass and sluggish, and under the hood it's still a solid OS.

>>108916933
The new low latency boost does indeed work because my 9800X3D now hits 5.3ghz opening the start menu or action center.

>>108917320
Well I keep my i5-12400 at max core speed all the time, but yeah there is a jump in CPU usage whenever I open up the action center. Which is fine, the native rewrite will take some time and this is a fairly decent stop-gap that'll work well in tandem with the rewritten UI.

I also noticed that after switching to 11 it now parks my cores, which on one hand I wanted to disable, but now I realize that when it's not spreading everything over every thread, it sits at 4.2-4.4GHz rather than at constant 4GHz, so it's actually more beneficial to park the cores and let the scheduler handle it.

>>108917360
On my setup Windows likes to throw everything onto the first core from device interrupts to applications. I confirmed it with latencymon. What I did was use Microsoft Affinity Interrupt Tool to move the high DPC devices to other real cores and use task manager to tard wrangle programs to other cores.

>>108917416
>high DPC devices
Such as? I'd be interested in doing a similar adjustment to my system.

>>108917438
GPU, Network, High Polling Rate Mouse
Instead of all them fighting on the same thread or using slower hyper threads/e-cores, they have their own real cores to themselves.

Reposting:

I'll be moving to Windows 11 Pro soon, I have reached the point where I'm experiencing incompatibility issues with programs and hardware on 10 IoT LTSC, so I'd appreciate if you could give me a quick rundown. As far as I know, I only need to download the W11 .iso and flash a USB with Rufus and from there I only need to boot from the USB to begin the installation, but I just want to be sure about a few things:

>I read that new Rufus versions also help debloating W11. Is this correct? Or will I need to run other scripts to remove the usual bloat, Copilot and telemetry, along restoring features back to look like in W10?
>I only have one SSD. Will W11 replace the W10 one, or am I at risk of creating a new partition? As in, do I just need to proceed with the installation as usual, or is there another step I need to follow?

>>108917469
A good portion of stuff is gradual rollout only but if you want the low latency stuff now use vivetool.

vivetool /enable /id:60716524,61391826

>>108917588
I instantly used it, seems to be working but I honestly do not feel a difference, maybe I do not care enough about these things idk.
Gotta try on my older laptop to see if it actually feels better.

>>108917610
You can check CPU-Z to see it working. The CPU should be turboing as you open explorer.exe or start menu.

>>108917610
before it took like a good 20 seconds for my desktop to get ready on pc startup. now its like 8 seconds.

>>108917633

Seems like I fucked up something on the first try, now it works properly and yeah the diff is noticable, 'specially on startup.

I'd guess these preview update fixes are gonna be within the June cumulative update as well

is it possible to have different versions of win installed in a single device?
ex.:
my laptop came with win10 home that I upgraded to win11 home that I'd like to keep, but will also like to have win10 iot ltsc 2021 in a different nvme

>>108917809
just install it with both drives installed
it should just work and install an entry on the existing bootloader, but both installations will be called the same "Windows"
youll get a 25s blue ass screen with two options to pick, idk how to name the installations

if you mean to install it on the same drive i have no idea you'd have to shrink the existing partition and its a pain to do

>>108917809
>is it possible to have different versions of win installed in a single device?
yes

>>108917705
I used to get the user loading screen when starting up my computer but now it just skips straight to the desktop before my monitor finishes changing resolution. It's that fast.

So I'm guessing something like this is good for the GPU? It's also throwing me an error every time I select it but I don't think it's an issue.

File: 1772022156500172.png (39.6 KB)

The GitHub one doesn't throw me an exception and visualizes the choice better, GPU on the second core without HT. I placed the Ethernet adapter on core 3.

>>108918176
ideally you use something like autogpuaffinity to find out what core is best
https://github.com/valleyofdoom/AutoGpuAffinity
but you can also use latencymon to find out which core has the least dpc/isr spam and throw it on there. just make sure its a real core and not hyperthread.

>>108918205
>just make sure its a real core and not hyperthread
Yeah ik avoid the even "core" numbers, so with my HT'd 6-core the real cores are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

>>108918211
yeah after you do your devices you reboot the pc and confirm with latencymon that its actually taking affect. for instance if you set gpu to core 1 then nvidia driver is doing all its activity there.

>>108915689
>pc with older nvidia gpu
that is a (You) problem and that doesn't make linux bad. should have bought a better gpu lmao. time to upgrade cuck.

>>108918239
Well AutoGpuAffinity fails to save csv's on me so guess I'll just need to check with LatencyMon manually, but I already see that Nvidia's kernel driver is hammering core 0.

>>108918413

It's whatever, specially since your CPU supports Windows 11 natively.
If you like the Windows 11 UI/Icons then 'upgrade', if not, stay on 10, it's whatever, it would run generally the same.

Has windows fucked up something with volume control? My new w10 enterprise ltsc on 100% volume is barely on the level of 30% of my old w10home

i appreciate kid feet as much as the next guy but where Sophie?

Every time I've used windows every program I install places itself as a startup program. Then it takes 80 years to start up and once it does it bluescreens to shit. The file manager takes ages to work especially for file searches (yes, even on windows 7!). Every program has its own auto updater (instead of just updating when I tell it to) and every once in a while it changes where every button is and randomly replaces menus. 7 - 8 - 10 - 11 and every time I had to relearn the OS. Why did they get rid of the control panel? I tried it again just for gayming, because I saw I could install a windows 7 skin (so everything would be exactly where I remember), but it bluescreened constantly after a month of usage (I only installed a few games and art programs), and then I got laughed at when I tried for support. Now I see windows users with old versions of the OS, but those don't work on my laptop, and probably won't do well for my gayming. I want to use windows again, I really miss it's sane app installation, file management, and I hate trannies infesting my OS, but I cannot find a version that doesn't bluescreen after months or update constantly with new unwanted features.

So, I must ask, what is the absolutely sanest version of windows that works on my new hardware, that doesn't constantly spy on me and never has to update with new features, and what programs will stay working on it without slowing down the startup. I've tried debloater scripts but the system goes to shit after updates. I tried "reuinion 7" but that bluescreened. Windows 10 iot LTSC doesn't work with my games (missing loads of DLLs for random mods and shit), and windows 11 has so many fucking ai features and didn't let me even move the taskbar. I actually just want windows vista/7 with new programs, how hard can that be? Should I just buy compatible hardware? Are there open source firewall/network monitoring tools to use? I just want to escape the linux trannies.

>>108924636
It was something for "rock band" controllers. I know, oddly specific and gay stuff, but it works whenever the "Xbox game bar" is installed. However, whenever the "Xbox game bar" is installed, the "home" button on any controller opens the "game bar", but then ALSO opens steam if it's installed, when in reality I shouldn't have to deal with anything Xbox because I don't own an Xbox. The game bar takes away focus from whatever app I'm using too. The developer of the windows version of the program has said he won't support debloated installs of windows missing the Xbox app, because it ships with libraries for incredibly specific Xbox branded controllers (such as the Xbox branded riffmaster) and without it he cannot offer support.

I wanted to install the Xbox game bar, but I had no clue how, and I'm pretty sure I would've had to use Microsoft's shitty "windows store" (the same program that wants to sell gimp premium last I checked) which I am also pretty sure wasn't on windows 10 iot LTSC. So even if I wanted to use the crappy "Xbox game bar" and just disable it, I can't. Needless to say this shit just works on windows 10 with the game bar installed, except for the fact I have never been able to successfully disable the Xbox game bar fully and it always manages to come crawling back after some update.

Explain to me like a I'm a goddamn retard why it shows "% Utilization 100%" all the time. What is the point of this static text, besides being misleading?

>>108924763
Oh, and on Linux the controller just works by downloading some HID profile that magically makes every guitar hero controller under the sun work perfectly, no matter what console or band. I have no clue how an officially licensed Xbox controller works better on Linux than on windows.

>>108924771
"% utilization" is the name of the graph, the "100" is to say that when the line reaches the top of the graph it is at "100% utilization" and when the line is at the bottom it is at "0% utilization". The "60 seconds" and "0" at the bottom are complementary to this.

>>108924786
Wow it actually makes sense now. I still think they could've centered that "Utilization" text or something, but that probably needs more stuff to be moved around to look right.

I honestly did know about these things but I unfairly assumed microsoft wouldn't distribute the Xbox game bar through anything except the official Microsoft store, although even at the time I didn't know how to use winget and couldn't find an official package list website directly from microsoft, so I never even tried to use it once.

Simple question but reading about how to fix this kind of thing online always ends up resulting in me running into a huge hassle for anything windows related and I can't be bothered lest I sour my day. Why is windows suddenly not stretching images to fit the size of my monitor when I set images as a desktop background and how do I fix this?

>>108927876
Well, not "stretch", but it would normally zoom into the images to fit them, and now it's not doing this.

Try disabling memory integrity and kernel DMA protection (if it's there) in Windows Security and restarting, which could fix up PCI errors from those virtualized security things taking space/lanes. Could also be an issue with the generic 11 virtual PCI driver as well.

Is Rufus still the best or is Ventoy better, or what do you recommend?

File: קומיקס מצחיק של לינוקס מול ווינדוס.png (1.1 MB)

Windows is the best. Though I use it to play "Kill Loli simulator"

File: 1565541588349.jpg (1.1 MB)

Running Dead or Alive 6 for the first time on my Surface Pro permanently stretched the aspect ratio for 720p (Originally, there were black bars when switching to 720p and I would have a 16:9 aspect ratio, which was the desired effect). But this game removed the black bars and stretched the screen vertically, destroying the aspect ratio. I wasn't able to change it back to its original setting, even after trying different things such as alt+enter, alt+tab, restarting the game, restarting the device, etc. And while the native resolution was fine, the 720p setting was permanently altered. I went as far as uninstalling the Intel graphics driver in the device manager and restarting, but that didn't solve it because the 720p option was still stretched (While the native resolution option was still fine).

My final solution was to download the Intel Graphics Command Center from the Windows store, go to the Display tab, and change Scale from 'Stretched' to 'Maintain Aspect Ratio'. I restarted, changed resolutions again, and everything is working, aspect ratio is correct in 720p. I posted the issue a week or two ago asking if it was safe to uninstall the graphics driver. Just following up. Additionally I've uninstalled DOA 6, and installed DOA 5 Last Round, which doesn't mess with my aspect ratio and also runs better at higher graphics settings. I'm gonna keep the Intel Graphics Command Center installed just in case.

Moderator, you can go ahead and mark this issue as 'Resolved' and close it for further replies. Thanks for the support.

My only gripe with Win11 is that there is no good custom Win32 dark theme. The Rectified11 one is close but it's somewhat outdated and doesn't look quite right.

How hard would it be modding the default 24H2 theme myself to make it look right and dark theme everything? It's all just embedded color schemes dating back to Windows 3.11, right? Shouldn't be that hard with the right tools.

Being able to store multiple ISOs is convenient. No reason to use Rufus unless you *need* an image to take up the whole storage block for specific usecases.

Even though Rufus only supports one ISO at a time, I still prefer it for Windows because of the extra options it gives you when creating your USB installer, like removing the online account requirement for example.

This is probably a retarded question, but why does Windows scaling of 150% on a 1920x1200 15.3" display appear so cramped, with very low amount of workspace? 150% scaling at that resolution gives me a 1280x800 logical resolution, which in a 15.3" display is roughly 98 ppi, which is close to 96 ppi. I thought 96 ppi was the ideal ppi against which all UI is designed?

>>108941144
They already have had bad PR for Windows 12 for years, remember all those doomsaying articles about how Windows 12 was meant to come out in 2025, be online only with forced MS account, forced AI and everything bad everyone has been bitching and moaning about on the daily? No matter what Microsoft do, people will call them Microslop, hate them, and cry about how superior Linux is, even though they don't actually use it and only enjoy the idea of using it. There is no such thing as "good publicity" for Microsoft nowadays, so they should just ignore it and keep on truckin' with K2, only focusing on voices with direct complaints, like how the keyboard layout selector has a delay that wasn't there on 10's variant.

>>108943327
>I thought 96 ppi was the ideal ppi against which all UI is designed

maybe in planet common sense but microsoft doesn't live there. But seriously I'd say scaling is just not that well adjusted for your resolution, iirc Windows laptops with 1080p resolution usually come at 125% scaling by default, so that's the expected scaling for around those resolutions. Maybe your resolution is at an edge case where it's too high that 125 feels to little and 150 feels too much

If anyone uses a NVME drive here I shill this

>>108944701
>unofficial modded driver
>for storage
yeah sounds risky, in terms of data corruption that is

File: driver.jpg (523.6 KB)

>>108945213
No data loss occurred during almost the entire 3 months using this driver on 3 NVMe SSDs ( 2 on my home and 1 on my PC Work). I have tested it what happens if windows crashed and the driver acts very well and doesn't cause any data corruptions.

I mean I have made test files recording live hash file of a pagefile.sys and getting saved as a .bat file & then converted to .exe file every 1 second. And then I intentionally make my windows unstable by undervolting with crazy undervolts through throttlestop on CPU cores & SA intentionally targeting memory sensitive operations including CPU and it would crash instantly yet the file isn't corrupted on all three phases.. the .txt file, the .bat file, the .exe file and the pagefile.sys.

Done that over 20 times already by comparing MD5 hash files. So... yea the stock Microsoft NVMe driver ones would corrupt one of the three phases 2 out of 20 attempts while with Solidigm ones 0 of of 20 attempts.

It's an overkill test scenario I know but I was just curious if Solidigm sacrificed reliability over performance but I guess in reality they actually increased reliability and being better than stock Microsoft NVMe driver

In the end you decide if you want to use it or not. Do your own testing and see the difference if it's worth to use it or not

>>108945343
My NVMe SSD's are all Gen 3 so it'll likely be near-placebo idk

do I really have to install from one of those? anything wrong from getting it from the microsoft site? I just want 11 pro no iot ltsc fuckery

>>108945443
feel free to install from microsoft but don't forget to change edition to education with mas

>>108945443
The ISOs offered from Massgrave are all taken from MS servers.

>>108945443
Nah, the standard MS ISO is fine if you want a GAC install. Also plenty of Massgrave links point to Microsoft's servers directly if that's your main concern.

>>108918047
what's the difference between education and iot ltsc?

>>108945508
education is functionally enterprise so has more group policies and isn't enterprise so apps don't ask for professional license

>>108945513
IoT LTSC is also Enterprise but it's LTSC while Education is GAC, so if you want to be up to date on the newest fanciest schmanciest features you want to go GAC, and if you want stability and actually vetted updates you go LTSC.

>>108945453
>>108945455
If you mean that Massgrave makes you download them from MS's servers, that's only the case for the Windows 11 general availability releases (which is from Sep 2025)
All other ISOs, including the consumer May 2026 ISOs are hosted on third party servers (though all of their ISOs are genuine. I verify the checksums every time and they're always fine)

>>108945751
That's what I mean. The ISOs are taken from MS servers but they host them third-party. They use to have their own server but I guess it got too expensive for them so they moved them to another download site.

How do I transfer big files between two Windows laptops without uploading them to third party servers?

These laptops don't have ethernet ports.

Would connecting with USB-C cable help, or damage because of charging volta

>>108947510
There's services like Localsend and Pairdrop which allow you to move things between computers via local wifi if you wanna look into those.

anybody elses cinebench scores get significantly better with the new updoot?

Does anyone have a link to a fully updated windows 7 iso?
I want to put it on my ancient Thinkpad but I don't know where to get one that isn't infested with AIDS.

>>108947788
Just download a Windows 7 Ultimate ISO from Massgrave then download the Simplix update pack .exe and drag/drop the ISO onto it to slipstream every update 7 ever got to it, which'll then make a fully updated ISO for you to flash.

>>108947843
Not that nigga but does that work for w10/11 as well?

>>108948037
You can make 10/11 ISOs with the latest cumulative update baked in using uupdump

>>108918047
Why Education instead of Home or Pro? I will be using W11 mainly for gaming and to try streaming and my goal is to remove as much bloat as I can.

>>108952449
You get more control over your system, can better debloat, and evade janky feature updates if you run IoT LTSC. Home and Pro aren't worth the time and effort, and their service lives will end much sooner before any LTSC version, meaning they'll stop receiving security updates well before, much as with Win10 IoT LTSC versus its Home and Pro editions..

>>108952449
it is simply better than pro, activate with mas and enjoy

>>108952449

LTSC 2024 is fine, the best version of 11 you can get right now.
And if I've ever used a package manager I've used winget or scoop.

>>108953212
Thanks anon. Why either winget or scoop specifically? Less overhead?

>>108953245
winget because it's native and scoop because it's best for installing CLI stuff and GUI stuff portably if needed.

>>108949723
>I guess it's not the native NVMe stack you're using that they have officially added to Server
just the regular stornvme.sys. native nvme is good too but yeah its not production ready, but these nvme drivers can be genuinely game changing if you use it as a OS drive. they can serve up cpu interrupts and IOPs way better than the microsoft default.

You don't need to do that with W11 GAC, as Massgrave already has monthly ISOs

>>108948072

>>108953078

>>108953212
>LTSC 2024 is fine, the best version of 11 you can get right now.
Not that Anon, but is it still really? I'm still on 10 but I've heard they recently pushed features updates that make W11 faster and LTSC 2024 will always be the shitty old slow W11
I'm personally waiting for LTSC 2027 before switching to W11

>>108953351
They're most likely included in the cumulative updates anyway because that's how they're getting slipstreamed into GAC 11 currently. LTSC still runs on the normal GAC 11 update cycle.

>>108953367
>LTSC still runs on the normal GAC 11 update cycle
It does not. The whole point of LTSC is that your system never changes
LTSC only receives security updates and nothing else

>>108953373
It doesn't receive feature updates. It'll receive GAC 11's cumulative updates until 11 goes into ESU, which then it'll just get security focused updates like how 10 is now.

File: 1771267201582221.png (81.3 KB)

>>108953393
Again, LTSC only receives security updates. For example if MS releases an update that makes the file explorer faster this month, you won't get it on LTSC
Functionality wise, an LTSC release will always be the exact same as on it's release date

>>108953351
>LTSC 2027 before switching to W11
NTA but I'm on the same boat. Some of the features for W11 do seem appealing but I'm not too keen on getting raped by copilot shit. Even screen snip takes 10 years.

Okay moved back to Windows after 1.5 months of using Desktop Linux. They just can't get the basics right (A proper well designed Desktop metaphor is too much to ask).

NTA, This is exactly not true. LTSC does add features it's just very uncommon, an update added The Windows Feature Experience Pack Which added, Windows Back-up And Windows Advanced Settings and tags if something is a system app. These did not come with the system till I updated my machine.

Too many fucking papercuts. They can't get the basics right. You have features, great but each of them seems to be broken one way or another. It's like building a castle on sand.

And all other DEs suck as well.
>Arch
Don't care really, It seems to me the operating system is not the problem it's the fact that the operating system has no good desktop solution which makes sense if you understand were Linux comes form.

How does /fwt/ feel about the fact that Nvidia's new SoC will inevitably lead to the enshittification of Windows in the form of an "agentic OS"? K2, sure. More AI down your throat too!

I feel that I will finally switch to Loonix when that happens.

>>108955780
That new RTX Spark is only for ARM64 PCs ain't it? And naturally it's made for local LLM stuff first before anything else, though it can seemingly game super well anyway.

>>108955833
From the marketing it seems Nvidia has partnered with Microsoft on this and some of the stuff they showcased definitely feels like they require deeper OS integration if it were to come to fruition. It might be exclusive to ARM PCs for some time but some of it will trickle down to x86 too, they aren't putting in NPUs for no reason.

>>108955924
Though MS has very much held back through K2 when it comes to getting Copilot out of everything by default, though I guess through this collab you can turn it all back on if you want. Like I said it seems to be mainly focused on local LLM and image gen stuff in a quiet efficient thin ARM64 laptop format, though naturally the PCs with these Spark SoC GPUs in them cost thousands of dollars.

>>108955780
Personally, I think it's not only going to be extremely niche because it's obvious that they're targeting "AI enthusiasts" as their main market, but it will also be very expensive. And honestly, it was all corpo speak for a machine that's barely stronger than a PC with an RTX 3060, which makes it even funnier that they promoted it also as a gaming machine. This is just Nvidia and Microsoft self-fellating themselves and trying to profit from AI as much as they can before the bubble inevitably bursts.

>>108956284
You'd be getting one of these seemingly for the very high amount of VRAM for local AI shit in a thin laptop package.

Ventoy boots Hirens, Strelec, Windows installation isos, etc at 800x600.
With Rufus I get native 2560x1440

>>108957578
Even though 10 & 11 are the same NT kernel they have different components under the hood like different WDDM,Network functions, etc. For instance Wifi7 is only on 11 and no 10 Wifi driver will give you that. HDR is also on 10 but the support is half assed compared to 11 both official and unofficial because its missing stuff under the hood.

Not sure about other two because those are ancient but Windows ISO seemed native though it was kind of a blur because I did an unattended install. I can tell you that Linux was fully native at least.

Don't care about the FUD you are spreading, /fwt/ mostly uses LTSC versions or an EOL version of Windows (so unaffected). That being said it will be interesting what this hardware might do. And I am not anti AI, If I were I would be using Linux right now and cope. I just think lot's of it is bad implementations and it doesn't make sense how they implement it, copilot can just be ran in the browser and recall is just advanced History, there has yet to be prove it's actual spyware and no, logging things is not spying if that's the case then browser history is spyware by the same logic, I personally don't like history that's more annoying than it helps I already try to disable it in Windows and if all PCs have AI capabilities and I were using a consumer version I would disable recall.

People are overreacting because it's very profitable to make money out of being irrationally angry over Nvidia existing. Case in point: this schmuck. He made hating Nvidia his whole personality and it's bringing in a fuckton of viewers, meaning fuckton of ad revenue. Objectivism be damned, people want bread and circus, so that's the most lucrative product to offer.

We're not getting locked into the cloud, /fwt/ should know it better than most with how LTSC and Office 2024 came to be, that while that's a wet dream for big corpos, it's practically impossible to attain. Arm won't push x86 off the market either, especially with Panther Lake showing that the #1 reason for the big push for Arm, power efficiency, ceases to matter when x86 can be power efficient as well. The whole local AI concept has merit, but the big corpos are continuously misguided in how to apply it to make it make sense, so we'll only see true benefits of it after the bubble pop once there's no hype to push it blindly and there's an incentive to actually figure out how to use it well.

I'm unironically moving to Windows because I'm anti-AI. Linux is just as bad when it comes to AI; there are almost no "FOSS" projects that aren't being at least partially vibecoded. Even fucking GNU Hurd, and the BSDs besides NetBSD, are using AI. It's fucking insane. Linux is arguably even worse because of it being more necessary to updoot everything at once while on Windows you can be on an old version of your OS and it's programs almost indefinitely. FOSS is dead. It's all just unprincipled, compliant, trend-chasing trannies.
