    If you were still trying to install W11 and can't get past the TPM 2.0 or secureboot error,
    Just download and make an ISO of win10 20H2 or 21H1 with Rufus onto USB something.

    Then extract the install.wim from the windows 11 ISO (it's in the "sources" folder) and replace it into the win10 ISO and then just run the win10 ISO installer.
    Do NOT run the win11 installer.

    That will bypass the problem.
    Someone on the overclocking jedec discord thinks this build is a preview build for business laptops, because most new motherboards don't even have TPM 2.0 in them. You normally see TPM 2.0 modules on business and enterprise systems. TPM 2.0 requires a special device installed on the motherboard. Most Intel motherboards don't have this yet.
    AMD boards have no issue with this.

    Yes, and that is exactly what I did. I did it backward on my first attempt. It is not the install.wim/esd file that is the problem. It appears to be other files or a config file with parameters limiting the installation options using the W11 ISO. After I recognized my mistake, I simply moved the install.wim/esd file from the W11 package to the W10 installation package (renamed the original W10 file) and then it completed without a hitch. This was on my Z490 Dark running with the BIOS in Legacy (non-UEFI) mode, Intel ME disabled in the BIOS, OS installed on a drive with an MBR partition table, and no TPM.

    I posted a few benchmarks in the W11 thread showing there was no discernable benefit to installing W11. It is merely a new version of W10 with diminished functionality and uglier aesthetic attributes. Benchmark performance is basically the same.

    As of this morning, I have restored my W10 installation with Macrium Reflect because the current state of W11 is not ready for prime time. It's too crappy to tolerate in its current state. The new W11 Start menu is unacceptable (so is W10's Start menu, but StartIsBack does not work on W11 yet) and it is missing some basic features that are too useful for me to simply ignore their absence.

    Speaking of Macrium Reflect, restoring the image took 2 minutes and 49 seconds. I don't know how I would survive without it.

    So I was looking into moving to 21h1 and I came across a reddit post stating I need to put a password on my G14 or I'll be locked out.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG1...afe_for_g14_2020_to_update_window_10/h15t9px/

    Does anyone have experience with this issue? I only have an offline account, so I have to ask if that would be an issue as well.

    Also, I was looking for the EOL dates for the W10 builds.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-enterprise-and-education

    21h1 - 12/13/2022

    20h2 - 05/09/2023

    Windows 10 Enterprise and Education - 10/14/2025

    From what I've heard, W11 is what the 21h2 update would have been ...so no 21h2 or will there still be other Biannual updates for a while?

    5/9/23 should take me to my minimum upgrade requirement to replace G14. [Mobile GPU launch after DDR5], but if anyone has an inkling of what W10 is doing after 5/9/23 though to final 10/14/25, let me know.

    Microsoft will push you to next version when the time have come as long you have not closed for Windows Updates.
    Win 10 will continue as it has been until 2025. Maybe not with so many unnecessary/useless features changes as in Win 11. Newer doesn't always mean better.

    I'll take that to mean I can skip until a less problematic update comes along.

    ...since 21h1's EOL occurs before 20h2's, I should skip it anyway.

    ... if anyone else knows about the password issue with 21h1, would still like the info.

    Yep.

    You're welcome. I mean you can't use the pin code in Safe mode with an Microsoft account etc (some replace the passworld with pin). But as long you remember your passworld for your user account used on the pc to log into Windows just use that. If you installed with local account and with passworld, just use that as well.

    I've set no password or pin set, that's why I was asking.

    ...20h2 update didn't have an issue with no password.

    Microsoft's print nightmare continues with malicious driver packages:D

    Microsoft's print nightmare continues with another example of how a threat actor can achieve SYSTEM privileges by abusing malicious printer drivers.

    Last month, security researchers accidentally disclosed a proof-of-concept exploit for the Windows PrintNightmare zero-day.

    This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2021-34527 and is a missing permission check in the Windows Print Spooler that allows for installing malicious print drivers to achieve remote code execution or local privilege escalation on vulnerable systems.

    And of course new released patches means new bugs. This is doomed to happen.

    You might run into these bugs after installing KB5004237 windowsreport.com

    • Microsoft released a new batch of cumulative updates, as a part of the July 2021 Patch Tuesday.
    • Users are now starting to flag multiple issues that started happening after installing the updates.
    • KB5004237 seems to bring a new set of problems for the people that downloaded and applied it.
    • This article will focus on informing you about all the major issues that came with KB5004237.

    I fully expect the next version of LTSC (based in 21H2) to be absolutely garbage. LTSC is not better because it is named LTSC. It is better because it is v1809. The versions that followed are trash, including 21H2. The only redeeming quality of it being LTSC is the likelihood of it getting screwed up by crappy "feature updates" before it moves into "no longer supported" status is dramatically minimized. With an LTSC version you're not one of the brainless and defenseless sheeple being repeatedly molested by a predator shepherd. You're only molested once at the time of installation.

    Confirmed.

    The Redmond company also confirmed that the next Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) version will be based on Windows 10 21H2 and will be released later this year.

    Windows 10 KB5004237 fails to patch performance issues, but a fix is coming windowslatest - July 22, 2021

    Microsoft's Windows 10 July 2021 update (KB5004237) fails to fix annoying performance or gaming issues, according to user reports. However, Microsoft seems to be aware of these reports and they're working on yet another update that will address issues with power plans and Game mode....

    Edit. I’m 100% sure Microsoft trying to tweak the OS performance for own weak Jokebooks. In this work they destroy the OS for users with normal computers.

    July 29, 2021—KB5004296 (OS Builds 19041.1151, 19042.1151, and 19043.1151) Preview

    Highlights of the updates heading out to versions 2004, 20H2, and 21H1:
    • Updates an issue that prevents gaming services from opening certain games for desktop users.
    • Updates an issue that prevents you from entering text using the Input Method Editor (IME). This might occur, for example, after startup if you have set the power options to shut down a laptop by closing its lid.
    • Updates an issue that plays the sound for selecting something in a game loudly when you press the trigger button on a game controller.
    • Updates an issue that prevents power plans and Game Mode from working as expected. This results in lower frame rates and reduced performance while gaming.
    • Updates an issue that fails to detect that you are connected to the internet after you connect to a virtual private network (VPN).
    • Updates an issue that causes printing to stop or prints the wrong output. This issue occurs when you print using a USB connection after updating to Windows 10, version 2004 or later.
    Complete list of fixes, which is a fairly long one:
    • Addresses an issue with searchindexer. After you sign out, searchindexer continues to hold handles to the per user search database in the profile path, “C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\\”. As a result, searchindexer stops working and duplicate profile names are created.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents gaming services from opening certain games for desktop users.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents you from entering text using the Input Method Editor (IME). This might occur, for example, after startup if you have set the power options to shut down a laptop by closing its lid.
    • Changes the functionality for uploading new activity into Timeline. If you sync your activity history across your devices using your Microsoft account (MSA), you cannot upload new activity into the Timeline. You can still use Timeline and see your activity history (information about recent apps, websites, and files) on your local device. This does not affect Azure Active Directory (AAD) accounts. To view web history, Microsoft Edge and other browsers provide the option to view recent web activities. You can also view recently used files using Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft Office.
    • Addresses an issue that might cause the File Explorer window to lose focus when you are mapping a network drive.
    • Addresses an issue that causes File Explorer to stop working after reaching 99% completion when you are deleting many files on a mapped network drive.
    • Addresses a timing issue in the Group Policy Registry Telemetry that causes Group Policy extension processing to fail.
    • Addresses an issue that repeatedly rebuilds the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) filters. This issue occurs when a device is enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) service and “MDMWinsOverGP” is set.
    • Addresses an issue with an MDM service that fails to correctly apply certain junk mail rules.
    • Addresses an issue that always reports the update build revision (UBR) as zero (0) on a device during enrollment to an MDM service.
    • Addresses an issue that causes the enrollment of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) certificate to fail with the error, “0x80090027 NTE_INVALID_PARAMETER”. This issue occurs when the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provider (the Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider) stores the key.
    • Addresses an issue with auditing events 4624 and 5142 that display the wrong event template when Dutch is the display language.
    • Addresses an issue that causes System Integrity to leak memory.
    • Addresses an issue that plays the sound for selecting something in a game loudly when you press the trigger button on a game controller.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents power plans and Game Mode from working as expected. This results in lower frame rates and reduced performance while gaming.
    • Addresses an issue in which "Network Internal Access" appears on the taskbar network icon on systems that access the internet from certain domains.
    • Addresses an issue in which the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) fails to detect internet connectivity after you connect to a virtual private network (VPN).
    • Addresses an issue that causes printing to stop or prints the wrong output. This issue occurs when you print using a USB connection after updating to Windows 10, version 2004 or later.
    • Addresses a rare issue that might degrade performance in applications that call Gdiplus.dll!GdipMeasureString in a tight loop with a new font on each call. This issue occurs after installing Windows updates released on and after February 2021.
    • Addresses an issue that incorrectly routes some audio channels when streaming using certain fixed channel layouts.
    • Addresses an issue that always displays devices that RemoteFX USB redirects as "Remote Desktop Generic USB Device" instead of the actual device name.
    • Addresses an issue in which Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration does not set the camerastoredirect:s:value custom property.
    • Addresses a Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) domain controller memory leak that is reported in Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployments.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents you from accessing a network drive that maps to a Distributed File System (DFS) root after you sign out.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents you from reconnecting to mapped network drives after you sign in and displays an access denied error. This issue occurs if you use the net use /deep option to create multiple drive mappings to different paths on the same encrypted file share.
    • Addresses an issue that prevents access to files on a Server Message Block (SMB) share when you enable Access Enabled Enumeration (ABE).
    • Addresses an issue that prevents the Windows Server service from starting if SrvComment is greater than 128 characters.
    • Addresses an issue in the Windows Network File System (NFS) client that might prevent you from renaming a file after mounting an NFS share. This issue occurs if you rename the file using File Explorer, but does not occur if you rename the file using command line.
    • Addresses an issue with an unhandled Open File dialog critical exception. As a result, Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) applications might close unexpectedly.
    • Adds a new policy that creates generic strings and removes branding-specific terms, such as “Windows” or “PC”, for IoT Enterprise editions. For example, we changed “computer” to “device”. Instead of "Getting Windows ready," we changed that to "Getting things ready" and so on. These generic strings display on a user’s screen when an update is in progress.
    • Addresses an issue in which the Storage Sense page in Settings might incorrectly report the size of some storage devices that use the GUID Partition Table (GPT). The affected devices will incorrectly report in Storage Sense that the size is twice as large as the size reported in File Explorer.

    @Papusan are you ready bro for the next M$ controlling things ?

    Potentially unwanted apps will be blocked by default

    Reputation based on their classification. And here's what is included in them, as PUA

    Microsoft uses specific categories and the category definitions to classify software as a PUA.

    • Advertising software: Software that displays advertisements or promotions, or prompts you to complete surveys for other products or services in software other than itself. This includes software that inserts advertisements to webpages.

    I think 4.18.2106.6 engine in 21H1 on Pro and Enterprise has this by default. Had to disable the file rep ratings to install vc++ runtimes.

    What is it with these patches and drivers lately being 1/2 GB in size? I juts updated another patch maybe a week ago that was 600MB and now this one is the same size. What happened to incremental updates? intel & Nvidia both clocked in a total of 1GB+ for video drivers. The coding coming from these companies is getting out of control with these deployments. I can only imagine not being on broadband and waiting days for these to download just to have another release come out either while downloading them or just after.

    Microsoft readies Windows 10 21H2 for public rollout windowslatest.com - September 27, 2021

    Microsoft has christened this year's fall update as the Windows 10 version 21H2. At the moment, it's only available for "seekers" in the Release Preview Channel and Beta Channel for unsupported Windows 11 PC.

    Microsoft has only confirmed that Windows 10’s Store app will get Windows 11-like design in the fall of this year and more details will be shared later. Yep an fantastick upgrade. Why waste your download capacity on this?

    Yeah nothing much besides the version bump. Looks like Appx is corrupted and even in-place upgrade didn't fix. I need to wait until 21H2 LTSC packages are available for sideloading MS Store. I always get higher version already installed and had to revert my intel driver from DCH to Standard to fix the black screen of death once display gets turned off!
