Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019/2021

Well I don't have any issue with 4k at 200% scaling on LTSC for about a year now

 

The stability and absence of cancer outweigh any hypothetical benefit of feature updates. I've got a multi-boot system and there is absolutely NOTHING that I can identify about 1903, 1909 or 2004 that is compelling or beneficial to me compared to LTSC side-by-side. None of the nonsense that has been advertised is real as far as I am concerned... all stupid gimmicks and hype. In fact, they've accomplished absolutely nothing meaningful since the release of Windows 8.X that I can identify. All they've done is screw things up, one thing upon another. They're worthless as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, that whole scaling thing is a load of crap. They have resorted to becoming compulsive liars in a feeble attempt to coerce the adoption of their latest garbage.

I'm hunting around for LTSC keys. Assuming the ad is accurate, will this do: https://www.ebay.com/itm/License-Wi...939257?hash=item56d6344cf9:g:bqEAAOSwhBFeT5uG

 

I don't think LTSC version can be activated using a key

 

Yes it can. I have a key which @Mr. Fox gifted me and so do many of us. The only thing is, it has to be activated using the "phone activation system" by typing slui 4 in the run dialogue box.

 

I added in the key during installation and it activated directly once I went on the web.

 

The ones selling on eBay are not legit. I mean, sure, if you buy they will most likely work, but this is not how it's supposed to be done if you want to do it correctly (have to go through authorized reseller, and license will never cost so little).
To be honest, it's just better to go elsewhere instead of paying for greymarket keys...

 

LTSC is the same OS as Enterprise and Pro minus the payload of worthless rubbish that almost nobody wants. The Redmond Mafia still gives Windows 10 away for free. Getting LTSC keys where you can get them and activating LTSC through the authorized mechanisms put in place by Micro$lop is totally fine with me. It would be nice and preferable to do things their way, but they don't offer a way to people like us. The alternative is to do everything their way, get it "on the house" directly from the Mafia and live with the associated bloatware/cancer suckage. You have to decide what is more important and do what you've got to do in order to get the job done. I know which one I am going to pick every time.

The really sad part of this is, it's their fault. I'd be more than happy to pay them directly the normal retail price of Pro for LTSC. The trouble is, they don't offer an acceptable solution like this to consumers. All they offer is the malware version of Home and Pro. So, it's their bad. They know it, and they're making no real effort to stop it.

 

The only things I will give them are you can manually trim a ssd in the defrag area, and better recognition of newer hardware out of the box. Beyond that, everything else is a massive step backwards.

 

Yeah, manually trim a ssd if you want it stay alive "Windows 10 update could kill your SSD — what you need to know"


They can't even fix what was working in older OS versions.

Windows 10 2004 / 20H2 defrag bug only partially fixed. SSD continues to be defragmented
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...nd-announcements.826887/page-70#post-11042945

 

@Mr. Fox Since you don't care about the Store, why not run LTSB which is an older/faster build?

 

Windows Display Driver Model - Wikipedia

1507 LTSB ~ WDDM 2.0
1607 LTSB ~ WDDM 2.1

 

RTX is not supported. Drivers will not even install. I tried burning a lot of calories on that when I first moved from 1080 Ti to 2080 Ti because I wanted to keep using LTSB and I could never get it to work. Otherwise, I would be doing that.

 

The good news it, I don't need LTSB. Windows 7 has all of the support I need at this time. Any version of Windows 8/10 is a downgrade from Windows 7.

 

I mean I got higher CBR2003 and Wprime scores with Win 8.1 over Win 7 with many of the olds. But oh God how ugly this OS is.


If Microsoft have done a better job on Win 8.1 and then skipped Win 10, I'm quite sure we would got better performance today. All we have left is Ugly and with less performance. Win 10 only shine in Futuremark (this software is financed with help from M$) and in some games. That's it.

 

And, even then only the new Futuremark benchmarks that have been carefully crafted to make it shine. Windows 7 stomps it badly on the older Futuremark benchmarks where Micro$lop hasn't paid UL to fabricate an artificial advantage for them.

 

Windows 10: (Intel Microcode-) Updates (August 31 / Sept. 1, 2020)
Posted on September 2, 2020 by Günter Born

​

[ English ] Microsoft has released August 31 and September 1, 2020 one more swing to microcode updates for Windows 10 version 1803-2004 (but are probably old updates). Here is some information about these updates.... KB4494174: Intel microcode updates
Applies to: Windows Server version 1809Windows 10, version 1809, all editions

• KB4494174 “V4” for 1809 on MS Update Catalog

 

Sept 8, 2020—KB4570333 (OS Build 17763.1457) + KB4570332 as SSU

Highlights

• Updates to improve security when using Microsoft Office products.
• Updates to improve security when using input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or pen.
• Updates to improve security when Windows performs basic operations.
• Updates for storing and managing files.

Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

• Addresses a security vulnerability issue with user proxies and HTTP-based intranet servers. After installing this update, HTTP-based intranet servers cannot leverage a user proxy by default to detect updates. Scans using these servers will fail if the clients do not have a configured system proxy. If you must leverage a user proxy, you must configure the behavior using the Windows Update policy “Allow user proxy to be used as a fallback if detection using system proxy fails.” This change does not affect customers who secure their Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers with the Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. For more information, see Ensuring clients stay secure, changes to scans against Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) servers.
• Security updates to Windows App Platform and Frameworks, Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows Input and Composition, Windows Media, Windows Shell, Windows Cloud Infrastructure, Windows Fundamentals, Windows Management, Windows Kernel, Windows Virtualization, Windows Storage and Filesystems, the Microsoft Scripting Engine, and the Microsoft JET Database Engine.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and to using Windows 10 LTSC. I'd like to know if I have to manually download and install all these updates which have been posted here as soon as I clean install the OS or if I just check for updates on Windows Update it will automatically detect and download all the fixes.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Welcome to NBR.

No, you can use Win Update. But why let Microsoft do the job for you? I prefer to know exactly what being installed on my machines.... http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-throttlestop-guide.531329/page-1160#post-11018866

 

Thank you for your reply, Papusan!

By the way, am I missing something or Spotlight for Windows can't be enabled in this version of Windows? I'm not seeing it in the Lock Screen settings. I've tried what they say in this video but it didn't work.

 

I don't use this. Maybe this guide follow same guide as your video but check it out https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fix-windows-spotlight-stuck-same-image-windows-10

LTSC = No garbage Edition!

If you want all sorts of useless features, then install Pro. Want even worse version with no return... Then go for Home.

 

Thanks for the fast reply Papusan! So it looks as though LTSC really lacks Windows spotlight for the lock screen..

Hopefully I can use this small tool here to download all the beautiful pictures from the spotlight repository and set them as a slideshow for the lock screen and for the desktop wallpaper too.

Got it running and activated. This is worthy of the name windows. I do understand it's for special people :O) as some\many would like\need the additions that comes with retail windows. Not the case here.

Like clean fresh water, not full of mud and infestations like the retails. Instantly 99% ready to use, compared to those days and nights of work to disinfect any retail w10 to get it close (enough) to tolerable while not breaking needed functions ...but then some upgrade would sooner or later come and wipe the good work away.

With ltsc, seems one can relax for a long while regarding the os, stop the battle and enjoy using computers again, with the good feeling of ownership and control :O)

 

After a 10 minutes cleanup (instead of 110 hours ;O) + O&O shutup, life is great (see attach.).

 

To continue this little report of positive impressions, 8-9 s boot to desk after bios on 6 years old i5 Dell, msata ssd (near fresh os, just a very few things installed ftm).

Not that it matters that much, seldom rebooting, but still nice. No fastboot or whatever. ...and bios time includes entering the boot\ssd password.

Edits: details in text above + ran boottimer.exe (which includes 'after desktop' stuff loading), around 29 sec. Pretty good ltsc job with this old hardware. On same type laptop with i7, w8.1 (very few startup items), msata ssd, around 40 sec.

Using Windows 10 in-place upgrades to fix Windows Update issues blepingcomputer.com

In some cases, some folks have noticed that the Windows Update fails with an uninformative error message almost every month. Even those who have successfully downloaded the update have hit trouble during the installation process. In this article, we'll highlight steps to use in-place upgrades to resolve update issues.

The resolve these issues, the first thing you should do if the Windows 10 updates install fails is to try downloading the update manually from Microsoft Update Catalog.

Yeah, one of many reasons you always should downloading the updates manually from Microsoft Update Catalog and then install offline. I have never encountered this type problems. On none of my systems. And I won't change my practice. Not a bit @Mr. Fox @jclausius @Ashtrix @jc_denton @Arrrrbol ++++


And why should I trust this below? Nope, not me! Every months and new introduced problems/bugs will occure. Domed to happen. Skunks never change their stripes!!

Windows 10 update will finally fix the frustrating bug with PCs windowslatest.com - October 18, 2020

Windows 10 is braced for an update that will come with fixes for a frustrating flaw that users have been reporting for about a year now. For some devices, Windows 10 has been going seriously wrong when applying updates from Windows Update. In some cases, users are presented with an error that could potentially leave their devices stuck in an update installation loop.

 

I haven't seen an "update" that I wanted or needed in a very long time. All of the "feature updates" are functionality downgrades. Security is worthless when you lose performance and create an unstable product just so you can pretend it is more secure. I'd prefer to take my chances with "security risks" and have a system that functions properly. Life is full of risks. Everything we do carries an element of risk to it. Security is a myth. I don't see much point in creating unwanted drama with the idea that I am going to be fixing something that isn't broken.

 

I've always been meaning to ask you… you never update at all? Not even the .net stuff?
You haven't run into any issues because of it? I remember way back trying to install something or other and I had to dl a KB first.

So far, I haven't done a single update to my LTSC install so just looking for feedback.

 

This on my 1GB line. Skip that crap.


The way it should be... With a lot in the background.

 

Hi Bro... No, not really. I mean, sure, if I want to run some kind of software and it tells me it can't work without a certain .Net framework update or something like that, I might depending on what it is and how much I care about using it. Most often the stuff I care about requires something older, like .Net 3.5 or 4.0 Framework. But, I only do the bare minimum that is absolutely necessary to get by. Except for my crash test dummy OS installations that are disposable and I don't care if they get screwed up, I tend to avoid making any changes if things are working the way I want them to. I put "security" updates on the same level of importance as sending birthday cards to strangers and casual acquaintances and keeping track of the value of small gifts and modest tokens of appreciation so I can be sure to account for them on my taxes. And, so-called "feature updates" are considered unworthy of my consideration and a waste of time. They never offer anything I care about, only garbage the Redmond Retards wish that I cared about so they can somehow benefit from me installing their trash.

 

Indeed but you can't find this iso anywhere else.

edit : also it's a lot faster using a download manager with multiple connection capability

 

I know, but anonfiles.com is for piracy. The download/upload speed reflects this. + I don't use my time on such sites. And I haven't the need for a download manager for what I download/where I download things.

October 20, 2020—KB4580390 (OS Build 17763.1554)Preview)

Highlights

• Updates an issue with the out of box user experience on some devices that prevents an upgrade from completing. This issue occurs because the device will not allow user input on the Microsoft Software License Terms page or the Cortana page.

Improvements and fixes

This non-security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

• Allows administrators to use a Group Policy to enable Save Target As for users in Microsoft Edge IE Mode.
• Addresses an issue with untrusted URL navigations from Internet Explorer 11 by opening them in Microsoft Defender Application Guard using Microsoft Edge.
• Addresses an issue that displays a black screen to Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) users when they attempt to sign in.
• Addresses a reliability issue in the graphics kernel.
• Addresses an issue with the out of box user experience on some devices that prevents an upgrade from completing. This issue occurs because the device will not allow user input on the Microsoft Software License Terms page or the Cortana page.
• Addresses an issue that causes an application to stop responding temporarily, which causes extra z-order operations that affect the Window.Topmost property of a window.
• Addresses an issue with the CleanupProfiles Group Policy object (GPO). After you upgrade the operating system, when you configure the CleanupProfiles GPO, it fails to remove unused user profiles.
• Addresses an issue that fails to set the desktop wallpaper as configured by a GPO when you specify the local background as a solid color.
• Addresses an issue that prevents you from signing in on certain servers. This occurs when you enable a Group Policy that forces the start of a computer session to be interactive.
• Addresses an issue that occurs when you first sign in to an account or unlock an existing user session using Remote Desktop Services (RDS). If you enter an incorrect password, the current keyboard layout changes unexpectedly to the system default keyboard layout. This keyboard layout change might cause additional attempts to sign in to fail or lead to account lockouts in domains with low account lockout thresholds.
• Addresses stop error 0xC2 in usbccgp.sys.
• Addresses an issue that displays the incorrect CPU frequency for certain processors.
• Addresses an issue that randomly changes the time offset of the time format returned by the command WMIC.exe OS Get localdatetime/ value.
• Addresses an issue with Task Manager reports that show an incorrect cache value for the CPU.
• Addresses an issue that prevents Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) from assigning the Microsoft Outlook Signatures.
• Addresses an issue that prevents the Smart Cards for Windows service from starting, which prevents the use of a smart card for authentication. The event log shows the error, “Server Control failed to access start event: 621”.
• Addresses an issue that causes Windows to stop working and generates error 0x17. This issue occurs when Windows Defender Device Guard is enabled, and a driver is loaded with a 4K Microsoft Portable Executable (PE) header.
• Adds a new Microsoft Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) provider named "Microsoft-Antimalware-UacScan". This ETW provider reports the details of the context for each User Account Control (UAC) request in the ETW provider manifest.
• Addresses an issue that causes stop error 0xd1 in msiscsi.sys. This issue occurs when moving certain arrays from one cluster node to another.
• Addresses an issue that prevents Windows Update and Microsoft Store from connecting to peers over virtual private networks (VPN) for downloads.
• Addresses an issue with support for On-Behalf-Of flows (OBO) when using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL).
• Adds support for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 and 1.2 protocols when connecting to SQL Server using the data providers in Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC).
• Addresses an issue with SQL Server that might cause performance issues if you configure a Linked Server provider to load out-of-process.
• Addresses an issue with cluster validation that incorrectly tests internal switches that are not being used in a cluster.
• Addresses an issue with deduplication that causes long wait times on Resilient File System (ReFS) Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).
• Addresses an issue that might prevent some applications from behaving correctly. This occurs when you publish them as Remote Application Integrated Locally (RAIL) applications using RDS and change the docking for an AppBar window.
• Addresses an issue with a deadlock in the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCPIP) driver that causes the operating system to stop working or stop responding.
• Addresses an issue that causes the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) to stop responding for new connections. However, RRAS continues working for existing connections.
• Addresses an issue that causes the RRAS administrator Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to stop responding randomly when you are performing administrative tasks or at startup.
• Improves the Windows Server Storage Migration Service by:
  • Adding inventory validation.
  • Improving retransfer performance .
  • Resolving multiple issues, including reliability issues.
  • Verifying that source machines have installed the current update.

No thank you. I'll keep my flash and pass on the cancer update from the Redmond Reprobates.
