Windows 10 20H2

Well, in a way. I came here to read up on 2004 which I'm about to reinstall soon. After all, there have been separate threads for most of the earlier versions IIRC.

If anything, it's 1903 and 1909 that should've been lumped together, due to the latter's half-version nature.

 

Windows 1903 have own place Not all want to jump on latest and greatest And I will continue support the Redstone 5 thread with updates. Some of us use Enterprise.

 

I know about the older threads. I'm on 1809 Education so I'm not really into the latest either.

 

Maybe continue that way You won't get any shiny medal from Redmond HQ for being their unpaid gp

 

True dat, although I haven't had any bad luck so far since Vista RTM, and even that wasn't horrible, it was just a bit slow.

I think it's thanks to the BGA CPU in my laptop, it has magical powers.

Version 2004 is Windows 10 ‘May 2020 Update’, Windows 10 20H2 is ‘Manganese’

so this is basically Episode 2 of this tragedy of a build!

 

Very fitting description.


We have to hold on to our memories of what a "good" version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) looked like.

Highlights:

• Updates to improve security when Windows performs basic operations.
• Updates for storing and managing files.

Changelog:

• This build includes all the improvements from Windows 10, version 1903.
• No additional issues were documented for this release.

 

Is this the one that could hamper our ability to undervolt?

 

Nope.

 

Is that more than likely to arrive in form of a BIOS update bro?

 

Expect it will come newer uCode via Win update when they get them from Intel. Coming firmware will have it. But this doesn't necessarily mean all notebook manufacturers will fully remove Voltage adjustment.

How to download the Windows 10 2004 ISO from Microsoft now (ad blocker must be disabled on the Microsoft page otherwise the download will not work)

Direct Download Link

PS: Since the ISO is larger than 4GB Rufus has to format the USB stick as NTFS rather than FAT32 which means you must disable Secure Boot (temporarily) in order to boot off the USB stick otherwise you will get a signature invalid error message. Once you install Windows, you can re-enable Secure boot if you wish to do so.

@Papusan @Mr. Fox @saturnotaku @etern4l @kojack

 

Is there something to be gained by this update, or just the allure and thrill of flirting with digital disaster?

The Redmond Mafia and Cupertino Cartel have seemed to lack the skill, and will, to do anything right for quite some time. Do we have a reason to believe their obsession for producing garbage has magically changed for no explainable reason?

 

Well I didn't try it yet but there is this GPU Scheduling feature which is supposed to make use of your GPU better for rendering stuff to improve the performance of Windows, probably another gimmick like the Game Mode but hey, anything would be better than 1903 and 1909 so I'm all for it.

 

Installing it now...

 

I made a Macrium image in case it sucks as much as I believe it is going to. Plus, I still have the W10 LTSC, W10 Pro Exorcist Edition, W7 Ultimate and Linux Mint installed on separate SSDs that I can use instead if it's too icky. If it doesn't support AeroGlass, I will probably restore my Macrium image because I can't tolerate W10's tacky UI without AeroGlass. It's too disgusting.

That ISO also supports the Cancer Edition of Enterprise (non-LTSC). So, your digital license for Enterprise should be fine with it.

 

Well, hell. AeroGlass is broken, as I suspected it would be. So, I doubt I will be able to put up with this for very long. Windows 10 is such an ugly piece of crap without it.



And, I don't see the new GPU gimmick. Maybe DCH feces drivers are required for that to work. If so, then that is going to suck. Not sure it's worth having DCH cancer based on what little or nothing "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" is likely to represent. If it doesn't increase benchmark scores, then it won't be useful to me.

 

yeah this is all I saw:



I just thought of clicking on notifications to see what are all those 9 notifications that I have and look what I found! Windows ignored my GPE rule to not install drivers from Windows updates and also ignored the reg tweak I've done and installed a virus!

 

I'm testing this to see if it works.

https://winaero.com/blog/turn-on-or-off-hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling-in-windows-10/

 

And.............. nothing. LoL. Crapola.

 

@Spartan - it takes a special DCH Insyder novel coronavirus feces driver.

https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/445-23-insider-driver.429493/#post-5732777

It's enabled now. So, I will have to test to see if it actually matters in some way.

 

@Spartan - That driver is a buggy piece of trash. I am trying this DCH turd driver now.

https://www.guru3d.com/files-get/geforce-445-87-whql-driver-download,2.html

Edit: NOPE. Trash. Doesn't have the new Insyder GPU coronavirus gimmick. And, my Galax GPU overclocking tool with heavy overvolting capabilities won't run (refuses to even launch) with DCH feces drivers.

So, I'm restoring my Macrium Image. Not interested in being a test muppet and putting up with broken rubbish from the Redmond Retards, or living with the ugly Windoze OS X pastel puke UI minus AeroGlass. Stupid eunuch bastards can cram that chintzy GPU gimmick up their posterior orifice. Should have known better than to waste a couple of hours on their latest iteration of broken garbage.

@Papusan

 

Fixed! Macrium Reflect FTW! Like it never happened.

 

Seen other idiotic behaviour?

You went with wrong driver, LOOL

Want be an GP, then do it properly and install the real thing @Spartan I expect you still enjoy the GP game. Please test it. I know you still have Dell warranty

NVIDIA Pushes Out DirectX 12 Ultimate Developer Preview Driver 450.82 Techpowerup.com | Friday, 08:28

NVIDIA pushed out one of its first DirectX 12 Ultimate Developer Preview drivers to its NVIDIA Developer ecosystem. The version 450.82 drivers ship with all the ingredients needed for DirectX 12 Ultimate logo certification: software for DXR 1.1 ray-tracing, Variable-rate shading (VRS, tiers 1 and 2), Mesh Shaders, and Sampler Feedback. All NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series and Quadro RTX graphics cards already meet DirectX 12 Ultimate requirements. "This preview driver is intended for developers testing their applications with DirectX 12 Ultimate. This driver supports DXR Tier 1.1, Sampler Feedback, and Mesh Shaders," reads the brief description of the drivers.

NVIDIA does not intend these drivers for public use, but rather members of its NVIDIA Developer Program. Use of the software comes with no warranties. The driver isn't listed in the GeForce drivers pages, not even as a beta, and on the NDP page, the download links spawn a login gate. Apparently anyone can sign up for the NVIDIA Developer Program and download these drivers. The version numbering of the preview drivers suggests that NVIDIA's R450 public release drivers will bear the DirectX 12 Ultimate logo, enabling all API features on GeForce and Quadro hardware that support them.

Note: NVIDIA Developer Program account required (anyone can sign up)

Have tested several Win 10 versions, Win 8.1 and Win 7 on the old for benching the last days. All Win 10 versions is broken. And the latest and greatest as of today... Win 10 1903/1909 is worst of them all if you want best performance. Tweaked or not doesn't matter.

Only two Win 10 versions is usable. The old Eol Win 10 1607 and Win 10 2019 Enterprise LTSC. Everything else from the Win 10 branch the last 5 years is utter trash!!!!


This is very good news for Win 10 users... You can avoid the worst OS version in history a few months more.
Microsoft Temporarily Pauses Automatic Windows 10 v1909 Update for 1809 Home & Pro Devices

Last week, Microsoft announced extending the support plan for Windows 10 October 2018 Update, version 1809. The company took this decision due to the ongoing pandemic that has pushed millions of employees to work from home without the regular support that they they receive in an office environment.

It appears that the Windows maker is also putting a pause on automatic updates for those running version 1809. The latest version of the operating system, Windows 10 November 2019 Update, was released at the end of last year as a Service Pack-like update. The company had started broad deployment with automatic updates pushing older versions to upgrade to version 1909.

Ventoy - Create bootable USB stick easily with an ISO (multi-boot capable)
good Morning April 19, 2020
We know Rufus, Diskpart or other tools that can be used to make a USB stick bootable. But it is even easier with Ventoy. A new small open source tool that you can use to simply push one or more ISO files onto the stick.

If an ISO is out of date (or you are a seeker), you can delete it and simply copy the new ISO back onto the stick without having to format the stick again. Even if there is a new Ventoy version, you only need to start and update the tool.

 

That looks very interesting. I may have to play with that.

 

Yeah, I expected this was of interest And it fit well put it here when we talk about different iso's.

CU (Cumulative Update) KB4550945
windows10.0-kb4550945-x64.msu
Those who are up to date have already installed the last SSU.

 

There is no way to fix everything that is wrong with Windows 10. It is not entirely free of all Satanic elements, but only the lesser demons remain.

 

Just did a clean install bro, the torrent I gave you earlier now has s33d$

- Windows Defender has been renamed to M!cr0$h4ft D3f3nd3r Antivirus in case you can't find it in GPE
- The recovery partition is now created AFTER C: unlike before where it used to be before C: right after the EFI partition. Not sure what the heck is the point in that other than complicating things for backup programs
- the OS feels snappier (placebo effect syndrome FTW)

Now, I wonder if this build really gets rid of the performance decrease which the Spectre and Meltdown patch brought because I read before that 20H1 was the build that will give us back the CPU performance the Spectre/Meltdown patch took away.
