same problem here with gpu z, but after some searching, people reported this already on older and "normal" windows versions. don't know whats causing this. games on run fine.
Oh many thx for taking the time to reply. I am glad that everything went fine on your side. Hope you are able to use your NordVPN again ( : I also did a Backup of the Whole C partition with Acronis before attepting the upgrade. Also cloned the whole C partition to an external drive. Yesterday all in all it took over three hours and it was almost for nothing - I gained some experience tho would have preferred if this Windows Update after the in place upgrade would not bork the whole install : (( Hopefully someone will be able to help : \ Did you or anybody else disconnect from the internet and also disconnected all devcies not used while upgrading? I did not in the first place and at first it worked tho have read that it is recommended to do so I will try that. After that I almost the same amount of time went by as if I had painfully reinstalled and configured everything from scracth XDDD
Hi Friends, I am not seeing activity timeline in this version as compared to 1809. Also, 'let windows sync my activities from this pc to the cloud' is missing. Has MS removed it?
Can't see why not. Installed ProPlus (LTSC 2021) into it yesterday, purely to test @zucrin new Visual Refresh script, worked fine. Post
That was clearly not directed at you, but at people chasing the next LTS* release every couple years - so they could have run Education or Enterprise without forced feature updates in the same timespan, minus all the shenanigans of running an outdated build - application support, the eventual need of adding store support, hw support (peripherals and whatnot), performance, elevation of privilege vulnerabilities (this being the strongest reason in my book). And do not talk to me about LTSB / LTSC because I know full well how s**tty those can be, even on potatoes (windows update, defender, mitigations, all uup infrastructure frequently crashing or timing out) since I have been running them these past years - while you just "consider" it. I do like the latest versions more also for all the little enhancements to make me not hate using windows. Powershell and cmd as proper terminals with good fonts and keyboard/mouse enhancements, virtual desktops, a regedit with a freaking address bar, sniping, easier switching of audio output devices, better multi-monitor support, overall responsiveness while multi-tasking and so forth. Whenever I have to use 7 or the crappiest version of all times, 8, it just feels like a chore that I have to finish asap. Same for pre 1903 (proper windows 10 starts with 1903). Not sure how much telemetry / spyware weights in people's decisions, but with LTSC 2021 bundling ChrEdge, the LTS* path is officially ruined. You either stay with 2019 and older with a s**tty build, or do something more sane and run Education instead. Microsoft have no shame but they do still respect Education and their latest exfiltration tool ChrEdge will switch to a less aggressive model, with proven less external chatter - add a school type account and all "spyware" stops completely. I have been discreetly suggesting to try a current Education instead of chasing LTS* for a few years now, and it finally started to catch on. edit: that aside, everybody should try out LTSC 2021 for themselves on a real machine (non-vm) and share their experience
Sorry I've missed your post last night. I am using only English OS lang. and German keyboard. x64 About: Type this in admin CMD chkdsk /f C: sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth I read that somewhere else tho regarding to another problem with Windows Update not finding Updates. I guess you're suggestion is doing the scannow and cleanup and then to try the inplace upgrade again or anything else? I just tried unplugging the ethernet cable and other devices and it did not help xD It just gave the same error. Many thx again and in advance!
does the activation via the $OEM$ folder work for you with the iotEnterprise LTSC 2021 ? For me they do not work in Vmware 16.2.1 in the running system the unlocking is no problem, everything works there
Is it possible to add Realtek audio control app and install realtek UAD drivers, without installing Ms Store?
Thank you very much! I tried CHKDSK in Windows and it told me the volume is used by another process and if I want to schedule a check for the next time the system start. I did decline and tried the SFC scan which found corrupted files and repaired them. Right now the Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth process just completed successfully. Will reboot now, create a system restore point and try the inplace upgarde. Or should I also schedule CHKDSK even the other things went successfully? I am kinda vary of checkdisk as it more than once seemingly destroyed installs : ( Thx again for your help! <3
CHKDSK cannot destroy any Windows install, unless the core files are corrupted. If the core files are corrupted then Windows will not work properly anyways. CHKDSK will attemp to fix the files, so run it but yes first do a restore point. I also suggest running SFC and DISM again after the CHKDSK to make sure.
