Iirc SIB++ is the only solution using a hook, Start8/10 is also using background process(es). Totally worth the few bucks for SIB++. Didn't check/test any others.
i don't have a problem using the std ltsb crapless menu pin to start all my programs and find this ideal
just FYI for anyone who is using the iGPU of intel's 6th, 7th or 8th generation CPUs.. the new driver versions 25.20.100.6323 and 25.20.100.6326 don't work properly on LTSB 2016 anymore. they install fine, but you cannot launch the intel graphics control panel anymore (a crash is registered in the event viewer). the last official fully working driver is 24.20.100.6286. on LTSC 2019 the new drivers work fine. -andy-
Not really that much of surprise. Even the OS is still supported, manufacturers just pulled the plug on 1607 RS1 Had the same issue with audio drivers for Realtek
WHD only shows like 4 updates. I'm very sure that can't be all possible updates after 2 years. Actually it doesn't even show specifically for 1607. It just shows Windows 10 updates in general.
