Now Microsoft phasing out apps to not run on LTSC versions of W10 and W11, like MS Teams and Skype... So, they want to force people to stay in the "modern" policy... Sadly...
They are the "modern" appx, indeed, but curiously; Zoom, Firefox, and many other developers still maintain Windows 7...
I'm guessing I need to install a different version and then change the key to get to iot, is that right..?? Is there a preferred version at this point..?? Thanks. Oh, also, this is what I'm up against... https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/old-thinkpad-with-11-move-to-10.89028/#post-1871438
Ok, I think I got it, grabbed this one: Code: 19044.1288.211006-0501.21h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us Once installed I use that other key to make it iot, yes..?? (sorry, the brain takes some time to warm up there days.)
This is trial version. Copy/paste from OP: For activation or convert LTSC to IoT LTSC use "Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS)". To find it google for "massgravel+github".
I don't exactly remember if Classic Shell(Open Shell) had this functionality. Other than that I haven't used any other start menu program.
In Windows 10, 7+ Taskbar Tweaker will still work, and it has spacing between Systray icons as an Advanced Option, as well as "Remove extra gap" for pinned ones.
Does the Microsoft defender continue update after the end of normal edition support of W10, with 2021 LTSC?? Is W10 and W11 defender are same or 11 is more efficient than 10?? Is it worth running defender on 10 LTSC, or more secure to run external AV?? Thanks
I was using the automatic tool - Win_ISO_Patching_Scripts https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...2024-24h2-26100-x.88280/page-133#post-1871687 to make Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 ISO up-to-date and as a result got the following: 19044.5555.250219-1029.21H2_RELEASE_SVC_PROD3_CLIENT_X64FRE_RU-RU.iso .5555 - Is that KB5052077 optional update? Is it applicable to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021? I was taking as a source some already updated in May last year Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 ISO with ru-ru langpack integrated.
You're quoting my post from January... I'm not familiar with the script you mentioned. KB5052077 is not optional, it is the Feb 2025 LCU as provided here.
