I've never cared much for Windows 11 mainly because its very bloated but I came across something called Tiny 11 which is a modified cleaned up Windows 11 that I might try on a seperate SSD sometime.

Bloated? lol

You going to get a lot of stripped out stuff with any os like this. Most stuff might not work and without testing there will be loads of stuff removed under the hood that you might want.

Hello Yaayuh,
Thank you for your kind message and enclosed information.

I have tried the IISCrypto software as you have suggested. Unfortunately, the Errors still happen.

Can you not reinstall it from scratch to see if the errors go? Has it ever worked on windows 11 ?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

See my first message about this problem.

Stay with 10 then for now, leave the ticket open with their support to check out the problems on windows 11 they may fix it eventually.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Got rid of it and installed windows 10 LTSC. Zero bloat, zero performance loss.

What bloat is in windows 11?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

quite a lot of bs most ppl don't want.

How does Microsoft know what 8,045,311,447 people want?
How do you know people don't want them have you done a survey?

All of the new UI features that now use the shocking WinUI Xaml / UWP frameworks, as opposed to MFC/WinForms or even WFP

Maybe it's time you worked for Microsoft instead of a Don here. Maybe tell Microsoft how it should be done, get on the dev team and put it right.

Then we can all be happy.

seems like a trick question.
apps, widgets, telemetry, marketing, notifications
quite a lot of bs most ppl don't want.
possible to reign it in ofc, but shouldn't have to.

I use to use Windows 10 LTSC and as soon as it comes out for Windows 11 I will be moving over to it.

Windows 11 LTSC​

It's important for organizations to have adequate time to plan for adopting Windows 11. Today we're announcing that the next Windows LTSC releases will be available in the second half of 2024:

• Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC
• Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC

We'll provide more details as we get closer to availability.

First Look at Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC

Watch as I load the preview version of Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC and check it out for the very first time. This product doesn't get released until secon...

www.youtube.com

I don't want the IOT version just the normal version.

EDIT: by the looks of it that 1 ISO contains all LTSC versions.
EDIT: Hell yeh! that looks like there's absolutely nothing installed with it. Just file explorer and the bin lol

 

[Deleted member 77746]

If you are an OEM looks like you can get a hold of the preview ISO like what's in that video.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Problem with that is while Windows 11 is still in public beta MS could decide to not offer any more updates on machines that have bypassed the requirements, i don't think they would as there'd be uproar but the possibility is higher while it's still a preview release than when they finally get round to releasing an RC version.

That will probably be towards the end of next year when they finalise the LTSC release, hopefully then they'll stop adding and/or fiddling around with features.

I bet there's millions of devices bypassing requirements. I think they might stop feature updates once LTSC comes out but not security ones. By then I will move over to LTSC.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Would it be possible to roll back to Windows 10 if they did stop supporting Windows 11 users who bypassed the requirements.

I can't see them doing that. You could just do a fresh install of 10.

I posted a solution 3 posts ago

Not the solution. This doesn't work for me and looks like it doesn't for others either.

Yet I have Windows Configuration Update (KB5030509) and KB5030310 and rebooted a number of times along with toggling "Get updates as soon as they are available".

Nothing works despite all of this.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

What features are you missing? As some like the Paint Layers option aren't available unless you are on the Dev channel, despite having both the update and configuration update installed

Give me a sec I think I know what's wrong.

EDIT: Nope can't get co-pilot despite trying each channel with full updates.

I've broke it. Went to the Dev channel and still no co-pilot. Now I can't go back from Dev channel without a format.

EDIT2: I think I know why. I'm on Windows 11 Pro. Not sure if stuff has been enabled for this as of yet.

Can any of you confirm if you are on Home / Pro / Enterprise Windows 11?

You can download Windows 11 23H2 Preview ISO from the following URL but doesn't include Pro.

ah it now works with the Canary channel.

Microsoft is about to close the loophole for free upgrades to windows 11.

It's official: No more free Windows 10 upgrades — ZDNET

The party's over. After seven years of looking the other way, Microsoft has finally announced that it's closing the loophole that allowed PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8.x to upgrade for free.

Yep it’s appeared for me.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Windows 11 ISO 23H2 is available officially for anyone who wants to update via the ISO method.

Download Windows 11

EDIT: Never mind it's already been posted in another post.

I usually just type into the search bar at the bottom and they pop up. What sort of things do you have trouble getting to? Typing into the search bar would be an additional step for many of my uses - I rarely use search unless trying to find something I don't use often that MS has hidden away.

Clean installs are for those who can't look after their OSes

Mine's updated, will restart later

Could have, would have, should have.

Only takes an update to break a whole OS on windows now.

Doesn't matter how much you look after it really.
