First of all, LTSC builds are supported for TEN years. There is NO need to re-install every two years. Second, No store, No Cortana, No Edge - These are FEATURES. I have never wanted them and doubt if I ever will. From what I can tell, other LTSC users feel the say way.
In reality is seems that many will install the next LTSC release (most did from 2015 LTSB>2016 LTSB>2019 LTSC and next 2021 LTSC, or whenever it is released) when it is released, and those who do that, could have simply installed Edu or normal Enterprise, about the same support time for that scenario. And many are adding the store or edge too.
I for one will not be upgrading to a newer LTSC release because I'm using older PCs that actually work (and haven't broke down) happy using LTSB 2016 & LTSC 2019 on most of my old PCs I manually downloaded & installed the KB4532693 update on my dad's late 2013 Toshiba laptop running Win10 Home v1909 from the Microsoft Catalog site and it did not delete any files & did not encounter any problems with that update.
Same, but then again, I use Windows differently then most people. I disable auto updates completely and don't do a manual update until a couple weeks after the rest of you 'beta test' for me. I have never put a single file of any kind in any of the "library folders". To me they are just annoying, empty, bloat folders that I can't get rid of, like half the operating system. Everything I am saving, storing, or working on is on another drive or at least another partition. So the only way updates would effect me is if they brick the whole OS or cause bad performance in some way. Even then it only takes me ~30 seconds to restore a backup image of the entire OS. As for LTS*, I like LTSB 1607 because it is the least bloated and works well. LTSC had some...quirks I didn't care for and a lot of new bloat. I'll take a look at the next one in 2022 or whenever and see. If it is more bloated as I expect it will be, I'll probably still stay on LTSB until I can't anymore. Would not use full spy/bloat/forced everything Windows 10 versions at all. No way in Hell.
I can assure you, you are right. I also have no problems, has never been. It's absolutely true - there is a problem between the keyboard and the back of the chair.
I currently run a version of Windows 10 that is effectively well under control, with no automatic updates and all the junk components removed at installer level, making it a halfway compromise between LTSC and Enterprise. It is already bad enough that Windows 10 has a series of damaging controversies, but the rumour mill has been running in overdrive as well. It is so hard to find solutions to problems without running into threads from various websites that delve into allegations of greed and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, rather than actually try to find a resolution. Stuff like that do not work at angering me into taking action, instead it makes me question my whole life even further.
