    Yup. All part of the arm-twisting bastards' scam. I wonder how much the asshats at Micro$lop paid the Kool-Aid drinking shills at UL/3DMark to do that?

    Anyhoo, now you know why I waste drive space for a cancer version of Windows OS X and why I am slowly working my way toward Linux and giving up benching. I am getting closer to telling them to kiss my hind end. Not there yet, but that day is coming. They've just about ruined everything related to computers that I care about.

    And you get no points on the bot. Wasted energy being angry on the paid shills at UL/3DMark. Let them have it. Less people who spend time on it just mean this test will go in the history books as a failed product.

    UL/Futuremark still can't fix own flawed software. It's on level with the new and shiny OS from Redmond HQ.

    Do you still recommend following the 'Clean Install' and 'Tweaks & Fixes' thread even with LTSC?

    Yes, it is 1809, which is far superior to 2004 (which is garbage). I haven't found anything (not even one thing, sorry to say,) that is good about 2004.

    LTSC has zero bloat. No Store and app crap. No Edge or Cortana trash. Just Windows. You can manually add the UWP filth, but that is kind of like adding just a little bit of feces to a batch of brownies. You might not smell it or taste it, but you know it's in there and the brownies are corrupted even though it may not be obvious to everyone eating them.

    Yes I know, I'm looking for a more recent LTSC than 1809, the "xbox game pass" application need at least 1903 to launch :/
    I'm running LTSC 1809 for more than a year on my Precision M6700 with no other issue so far.
    You should update your OS, 17763.107 is a build from november 2018

    It is unfortunate that you need the XBOX Game Pass and even more unfortunate (and evil) that they manipulate customers in that manner. I will no longer purchase Micro$oft Studios game titles because of that. If it is not available on a Steam, Origin, GOG, Uplay, Epic or Bethesda game client then I can live without it.

    No need to update my OS. I am running LTSC with no updates and Windows 7 SP1 with no updates after 2014. I prefer having a stable system that delivers higher performance and one that I am in control of. Updates result in the exact opposite of that. Newer and "more secure" (tongue in cheek) Windows builds offer me nothing of value and I have lost my appetite for Micro$lop's nonsense. They do nothing right in my eyes.

    Keep in mind that the LTSC Trial ISO is just a trial and cannot be activated using a genuine key if you later on decide to keep it. The ISO in the OP is the full edition which can be activated.

    Latest official version is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (1809). And this is a smart move. At least Microsoft is able to understand that thei just can't throw out a new LTSC version each year. All know that if they pushed out one or two versions a year, it would water it down to a huge unstable mess as the regular versions... https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/06/22/whats-next-for-windows-10/

    After 1809 we got 1903 and with some candy the small 1909 package. And now 2004. And coming fall edition (small package) is in short same version as May Update. Doomed to fail. Even 1809 failed at release but have worked ok the latest months. Latest and greatest may work ok at end of life.

    Of course Windows won't be stable as long they move on after release of the latest. They should stop with this "Windows as a service" nonsense.

    " Microsoft has already started working on the next two versions" of Windows 10 and a new variant called ‘ Windows 10X‘. It’s all part of what Microsoft is referring to as ‘Windows as a service’, which basically means that there won’t be a new operating system every year to get new features, security patches or support for modern hardware.

    Once I installed Windows 10 Threshold 1 build 10.0. 10240, felt like I bought a new taptop on steroids! It was nothing like today, it was even faster than Windows 7 due to the support for newer hardware BUT with nothing of telemetry compared to today's builds. Unfortunately it needs its own set of drivers because even though it is Windows 10, as we know each new build needs its own drivers thank to Microsoft's stupid way of making these updates.

    Have you a Threshold? :rolleyes: o_O

    Yeah. Never update directly to new and flawed. Hold on to old as long as possible. And always do a clean install.

    The fact that this even exists as a download from a third party is as scary as hell and emphasizes the fact that Dell is the least trustworthy manufacturer in the world. Not only do they embed their own filth from the factory, they have a plan in place to keep that feces embedded even with a clean install. Building a product that relies on its proprietary garbage or UWP trash apps to function is also deplorable. People should be running another direction as fast as they can and never looking back.

    Exactly. Pre-installed viruses. That kind of behavior is exemplary of why everything they do should be questioned and second-guessed, and any promises they make should be taken with a pinch of salt. Both companies (Dell and MSI) are really messed up.

    That's more than I spent for my nice low-mileage used car a couple of years ago. And, two of them are just a little bit less than what I paid for my wife's brand new car in December.

    Edit: That's also substantially more than what I spent on my desktop and Tongfang turdbook combined. Even if I include the three monitors, keyboards, mice, etc.

    Cancer-free stability is hard to beat. Stability and performance always trump "security" for me. I cannot identify the last time a cumulative update improved stability or performance, so I ignore them.

    I took the liberty to rewrite your nice post. Not that you're right about Dell. You were right on point :) But the pict also reminds me about Microsoft's latest and greatest. Hence my post.

    [Updated] And It Begins… All the Windows 10 v2004 Known Issues as Confirmed by Microsoft Itself wccftech.com

    It is unclear why Microsoft had to wait until after the launch to release this list of known issues and why they couldn't be addressed when Windows 10 version 2004 was being tested. Since the list is already live, it cannot be due to customer complaints either as it's too early for that process to start. We can only hope that process doesn't end up revealing even more bugs in the just-released Windows 10 May 2020 Update.

    • Addresses an issue that causes the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider Host (WmiPrvSE.exe) to leak registry key handles when querying Win32_RDCentralPublishedDeploymentSettings.
    • Addresses an issue that logs a Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) error in the System event log when the Distributed File System (DFS) Replication service is started.
    • Addresses an issue that might cause the Microsoft Remote Assistance process (msra.exe) to stop working when a user is receiving assistance during a computer session. The error is 0xc0000005 or 0xc0000409.
    • Addresses an issue that causes Server Message Block (SMB) to incorrectly use the original, cached non-Continuous Available handle to a file, which becomes invalid after a network error or storage failover. As a result, applications to fail with errors such as STATUS_UNEXPECTED_NETWORK_ERROR.
    • Addresses an issue in SMB that causes Windows Server 2019 to stop working when using 100 GB network interface cards (NIC). This only applies to Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and SMB Daemon (SMBD) scenarios.

    Has anyone here done anything to show that there is an advantage to these higher tier versions of windows over standard editions? I would be curious what benefit windows enterprise or workstation has to a more casual power user such as myself. Stability maybe?

    Hey guys, thanks to you i also made the jump to Windows 10 LTSC and i am quite satisfied without the M$ crap apps. I purchased an LTSC key from ebay (did the same for M$ Office 2019) and all good so far. Now i tried to do a fresh install of Windows 10 LTSC and i am getting an error message during Windows activation (the key is already used, same for Office).
    I read somewhere that i have to 'un-license' the prior install first using the commands slmgr /upk and slmgr /cpky then i can re-enter the key in a fresh install. Can anyone please confirm if this is the correct procedure? (i just don't want to go through another fresh install and end up with the same error again).
    As for Office, is there a way to 'un-license' so that i can use the key on the fresh install?
    Thank you in advance folks.

    You need to do a phone activation.

    For Windows, type slui4 in the run dialogue box and hit enter

    For Office, I also got a Professional Plus 2019 key but I haven't tried it yet as I am waiting for my new laptop, see if there is anything like troubleshoot activation where you can select phone activation.

    Congrats and welcome to the LTSC elitist family. This is the only edition of Windows 10 that is worth a damn, and you're super-smart for recognizing that.

    Yes, that is correct. Phone activation is the way to go. Before installing Office, back up the Windows activation with Micro$oft Toolkit. As long as you avoid updating the BIOS (which is the smart thing to do) you should be able to restore it if you ever clean install again. You can still do phone activation again later, but it's easier to not have to deal with any of that nonsense. If you install Office it will back up that activation as well, but the chance is good that the Windows activation restore will fail, so just don't do it. Back it up first, then install Office.

    For Office activation, I like to do it this way. Run this command: setup.exe /configure config.xml using this file in the same folder as the 64-bit Office setup.exe
    Code:
    <Configuration>
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Targeted">
        <Product ID="Proplus2019Retail" PIDKEY="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX">
          <Language ID="en-US" />
          <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
          <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
          <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
          <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
        </Product>
        <Product ID="ProofingTools">
          <Language ID="en-US" />
        </Product>
    </Add>
    <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
    <Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Targeted" />
    </Configuration>
    
    Save as config.xml and replace the X's with your product key. This will omit the totally worthless feces (Groove, Lync/Skype, OneNote, and OneDrive) and install only the meaningful applications in the Office Suite (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, etc.).

    Pretty neat stuff there, thanks @Spartan@HIDevolution and @Mr. Fox . I can confirm that the phone method works for windows activation (still i tried to unregister the previous Windows install but still got the error with key already used, phone activation solved that).

    But also no feature updates until the next LTSC release, which is years away. I *need* individual DPI app scaling for apps that don't play nicely with 4k screens. And sadly that feature is not in the LTSC release yet as far as I know. Same with HAGS/WDDM 2.7 for GPUs. While not beneficial yet, Ampere may change that and it's only available on the latest consumer version update.
