    This seems to be a problem with the monitors, everything works with other monitors. I haven't found any drivers for the monitors, but since I like the monitors and have more of them, I'll probably have to stick with 23H2 for now. Thanks for your support.

    Try hdmi instead of display port, or vice versa , depending how you have them.
    My monitor has a wake up issue with the display port
    Also depends on whether you have spare hdmi ports on your card, newer cards tend to give you more dp's

    Is it still possible to disable DNS Cache service on Win11 24H2? Internet doesn't appear to work when I disable it via registry. Domains simply aren't being resolved without it enabled. That is not the case in Win10 and Win11 23H2.

    With 24h2, DNS service must be started for internet to work

    That's crazy! That means you can't block DNS queries of any application with Windows Firewall because DNS Cache Service is part of SvcHost.exe and SvcHost.exe performs DNS queries on behalf of any and all executable files when DNS Cache Service is enabled. That means you can't block SvcHost.exe because blocking it blocks all domain resolution and blocking any specific application doesn't block it from making DNS queries. Windows Firewall only blocks executables from going to domains that SvcHost.exe resolves on behalf of those executables.

    Is there some other way to block DNS queries for whichever application when DNS Cache Service is enabled?

    Yeah, until 23h2, I disable DHCP and DNS services (I set manually)
    With 24h2, both services must be started

    I don't know if and how it is possible.

    You can disable it via a firewall, Windows Firewall will do, a block rule overrules allow rules. It is also needed, because Chromium browsers like Edge, Brave, Steam leak DNS, even when DoH is forced via a policy.
    Code:
    rem System overall, I generally block all insecure ports 1-1024, except those needed for specific services
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="TCP Block" dir=out action=block protocol=TCP remoteport=1-42,44-79,81-442,444-586,588-852,854-992,994-1024
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="UDP Block" dir=out action=block protocol=UDP remoteport=1-122,124-442,444-1024
    
    rem Per App
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Brave TCP" dir=out action=block protocol=TCP remoteport=1-442,444-5227,5229-65535 program="%LocalAppData%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Brave UDP" dir=out action=block protocol=UDP remoteport=1-442,444-65535 program="%LocalAppData%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"

    Note, if you block DNS system wide, you must have DoH or DoT enabled or you will loose internet access! In the case just remove windows firewall rule.

    Interesting, I used to do the same, I stopped only because DNS Cache is needed for Binisoft's WFC notifications and also for DoH/DoT to work.

    Oddly enough, internet still works with DNS Cache disabled, but only so so, network adapter reports internet OK, ping is OK, TOR works OK, but everything else does not work, like windows updates, browsers with or without DOH.

    Then again I have DNR and everything related to the classic DNS and resolving domains blocked, so maybe it would work otherwise.

    DHCP can be disabled in 24H2 for sure. You can also disable Network Location Awareness and disconnect it from Network List via registry, but stopping Network List breaks Capability Access Manager unless you remove the whole feature with NTLite.

    DNS Client enforcement is a serious privacy risk though. Sure, DNS queries alone don't mean much without corresponding connections to resolved domains, but it still sends hints about software you may hae on your device.

    Strange. Perhaps some applicaitons are tied to DNS Cache Service while others are not..?

    The PC only has the onboard HD 4400 graphics with 1 DisplayPort and 1 DVI output. You're right, the problem affects the monitor on the DisplayPort. I don't want to install a new graphics card to fix it. When I have a DisplayPort to DVI cable I'll try it out. But I don't think it will work better. Maybe MS will fix the problem in the next 2 years and 23H2 will run for me now with fewer problems.

    Do all these updates apply to Windows 11 LTSC 24h2?
    If you don't simplify it, please in 10 it's all mixed up, for beginners it's difficult to download the correct cab, and an error breaks the iso? Grateful

    Yes, all are 26100 updates,
    In the Windows 10 1904x Updats Overview it is specifically mentioned what updates are not needed for LTSC.

    And there is no need to quote entire posts, just quoting the title or a @Enthousiast is enough.

    is that on 10 19041.xxxx I usually download them in the order you post, and I saw that some of them don't apply because I'm Brazilian and my English isn't good, so I get lost, don't create a new topic but separate 19041.xxxx from LTSC, but that's ok thanks.

    It's not really language related, it is just running a script (W10UI) with the updates next to it and the script takes care of all.

    ok it was just a suggestion that in 10 there is an update that doesn't apply and I was a bit confused, but it's ok, I download it and keep redoing it until I get the correct ones for LTSC, I usually download them all in order in the topic and use W10UI? It's just difficult to identify those that don't apply because they are together but thank you, I'll do Windows 11 LTSC 24h2...
