Stripped down Windows 10 for gaming?

Not trivial to get either unless you are a big organisation.

Fairly easy if you know the actual part number (KW4-00190).

Just requires an Open License agreement which can still be setup by individuals, and I believe you can still get around the minimum license requirement (5) still by buying much cheaper products such as MS Identity Manager Licenses.
 
Is there a download link for these? Would be tempted to use this due to everything being removed as I don’t use any of the apps in w10
 
Guys i need this with 417.12 the Red dead driver does it work? If you look at my rant in the gfx section and Nvidia driver thread i had the best system on this forum i think? I had 2-7us idle and i never ever seen above 45us in intensive apps like 8k Youtube trailers or 4k gaming they both were 45. My old pre creators Win10 though was not compatible with RTX and the 2080ti demanded i upgrade my OS. So i did and everythings doubled this is not the windows i know it has SO much new stuff even with my tweaks and knowledge of DPC tweaks my best now is 30us idle 100us in games.


But its also refusing to install Chrome apart from the beta lol... It now refuses to accept Nvidia drivers hanging on system compatiblility the only way to update was unzip the driver and point windows device manager to the driver folder. This dropped my idle from 30us to 7us and my max sometimes drops to 99us but it feels bad panning.


This is not all though, If i dare reboot i can be caught with a checking windows for 1hr and when done it changes nothing and wastes an hour. So now i only shutdown and manually reboot and it worked! It also changed my mouse i had a 2000hz ultrapolling Gladius mouse that i used.l mousetester.exe to confirm it worked at 2000hz and it did until this recent version of Windows and now it is capped at 1300 thats 700mhz lost!!! Oh and did i mention even with Cortana off of i have 90 processes? When i tweaked Windows XP, 7, 8 i had about 44 running process. I only game on my pc too so i only install about 4 drivers, Battlenet and Latencymon and Chrome. And even on this peice of bloatware it is too much. Heres some links i found to confirm the issues especially the mouse.


Also one final point, Windows also used to have the 1.1 Wintimer when HPET was disabled which was also changed to 1.0 how can that change? Did they adjust the windows timers on the sly? Basically the two versions of Win10 are nothing like each other and Win10 1903 is the worst computer experience in my 20 years of owning a gaming pc. I would bite your hands off to get back to Vista or Windows 7 but i need Gsync to work and Gsync compatible requires the dog called Windows 10.

Yeah the timer changed for the worst in 1903 IIRC or around then - I'd have to dig up the information.

EDIT: Looks like it was 1809.

Oh look at this by the way. So they ruined my mouse and my DPC sigh i knew it i have tools to check all of this as well.

:(
 
Easy now.... settle down. There’s nothing stopping you going back to an old OS.

Some things might not work but that’s the same as any system that n this planet.

But you cannot use the new monitors!!! You require Windows 10 for Gsync compatible so tell me how would you fix this mess? Roll back to Win7 and lose freesync or gsync? Basically i am trapped i would go back if Nvidia stopped the requirement for win10. Look it up it does not work on win 7 or 8.

It seems all i can do is try LTC but how could i find out before i do it that my 2080ti will work, Last time it said Windows was not usable i had to format even though a 2080ti should work with even unpatched win10 imo. If 417.12 works ok i will stop moaning but at the minute i am dreading the thought i cannot fix this.
 
Stop worrying they just games you are playing on.

I do not play normal games though, I am like a 0.5% elitist lol who can only enjoy gaming now with certain things. I am utterly spoiled rotten i had 3us idle, 55us was my highest ever in games and i was playing with 240hz refresh rate using DSR to get a native and crisp 1:1 4K downsample which is basically a extremely low motion blur aliasing free image. Who does that?!


I cannot enjoy games anymore like an average joe, I would persue other things in life and probably go even more rural and offgrid if i ever got sick of it. And if going forward this is how it is going to go then well to hell with it because 130us latency gaming and all this perfromance sucking bloatware can do one. It costs like £2500 to persue this hobby as well.


What i could do it wait until consoles do real 4k not the cheaterboard version, And OLED is standard and hop back in because that would be better than what i have now. At least there they will not notice windows issues because with the controller everything is way smoother than a windows pc and it might still be a locked enviroment where its OK to use a controller is a serious FPS unlike the PC where with a mouse i find all the above needs to be perfect or i lose interest when i have to use a mouse. I hate them they are really disgusting and detemental to a games smoothness the only plus they have is it is easier to aim.

Sounds like something is broken rather than an OS issue.

No the os is a peice of garbage, Thats the isssue Rroff clearly linked to where MS changed timers, Thiers two links in this thread where Microsoft addmitted they messed up the mouse and now you are trying to tell me its me or my system? Are you serious?

Microsoft ruined windows 10, If so how come everything ran perfect before i went to 1809..
Honestly this whole reply was a fustrating waste of my time.
 
"LTSB/LTSC has none of the Windows Store garbage, none of the Cortana garbage and none of the silly 'consumer experience' crap. "

Might be worth looking into...

I might look into this os and use it myself. Don't use a lot of the features that 10 comes with. I'm going to install a demo of it right now in a VM to test it.

What version did you download? Enterprise or LTSC? also what did you put in for the business details? (just personal details?)
