I've gone for long periods without updating, but personally, I like to have the option to do windows updates. IMO, if an OS has the ability to update it shows that the OS is stable. There are trade-offs. The illusion of "purity" versus stability. Stability usually means holding-your-nose and keeping OS components that are suspect (like AI). That is why my Aveyo script has a lot of whitelisted system apps. I only remove ones that I know won't cause system instability 6 months down the track.
You're probably talking about windows 10. In 11 24h2 iot ltsc and likely pro too, if you remove any windows package and likely disable things like sechealthui, defender, remove hyperv etc. Updates won't install anymore and you will get error. So the only choice you will have is to either leave os untouched and let everything run as Microsoft wants and be able to install updates or remove everything you don't want but forget about ability to install updates unless in the future someone will work something out, maybe some regedit tweak. " if an OS has the ability to update it shows that the OS is stable." not really i have disabled wu in 22h2 i could remove it too and it will work without it just fine. working wu or not has nothing to do with stable unless you mess up something while removing it. like for example you disable wu services but you leave remnants in svchost or dcom making event viewer show errors or even higher interrupts than if you just left it alone running.
Does anybody know why this is in my start menu all of a sudden? Until this morning it wasn't there. Recall isn't even installed. I can not find any references to it in settings or anywhere else and i can't even open it if is click this text. How do i get rid of it? Even right click -> app settings does not show this app:
Anyone who installed build 26100.1 received the previous builds and build 26100.1000 via Windows Update. This is the case with me too.
It's the optional on WU/catalog update, it should be offered last friday: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-2024-24h2-26100-x.88280/page-53#post-1842601
this build is unbootable on Core 2 Duo Architecture...even with workarounds...i hope technicals find a better workaround...or else end of the line.
That has been for quite a while now, since a pre 26000 IP build (iirc). And even when you can get it running what would it be used for. just install 2016 LTSB or 2019 or 2021 LTSC.
Has anyone noticed that the "Remove Recommended Section from Start Menu" Group Policy item does not take effect on the IoT Enterprise LTSC SKU? It does work on the Enterprise LTSC SKU. Just not the *IOT* one. This isn't a blocker or anything, just kind of annoying. Does anyone have a workaround?
