    Windows works so that the more RAM installed, the more RAM is used, but that is different from the minimum amount of RAM necessary for the OS to work.

    I ended up installing LTSC 2021 iot and all the apps I needed from store downloaded just fine from the developer website without the need to install the full store. WhatsApp for example opened up a store like window and installed. Will keep this pc static on this LTSC version since I run a file server on it.

    hello guys.

    does anyone know how to change the IoT Enterprise LTSC windows 11 into pt-BR?

    is that any languagepack to download or is it possible to change the language from the o.s. itself? im talking about everything on the os. the full languagepack. is it avaliable anywhere?

    First, install en-US. Open powershell as admin and type:
    Install-Language pt-BR

    Uninstall-Language en-US

    For a 'ready-to-go' BAU (AVEYO) FORCE APPX UNINSTALL.BAT - ONLINE DEPROVISIONING SCRIPT, See:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-2024-24h2-26100-x.88280/page-54#post-1842956

    I haven't gone through everything, but the registry tweaks look good.
    In light of you saying it's 99% there, here is some of the 1% concerns I've noticed (my concerns only apply to 24H2 LTSC/IoT and not any other build)

    I'm exclusively talking about your deprovisioning script "deprov-edit_as_needed.reg"
    Cortana is now gone
    AFAIK, the cryptic numbers used in W10/early W11 like F46D4000-FD22-4DB4-AC8E-4E1DDDE828FE are now in English "Microsoft.Windows.AddSuggestedFoldersToLibarayDialog"

    There are a number of missing system apps like "Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost", etc

    The online deprovisioning script I use was originally shared by BAU (Aveyo). I just added the latest LTSC IoT 24H2 System Apps

    Yes, why wouldn't it be.
    But I feel that 23H2 is better, and Windows 10 feels even better.
    Better to wait till 24H2 gets "officially" released in a few months.

    It's safe to use now, the updates now are regularly released like for all other win 10/11 releases.

    Thanks for the run-thru. I also plan to apply it to images of 10 LTSC for people I know with ancient laptops, so I left some older things, entries meant for 11 included because lazy.

    I only remove
    <c>microsoft.ecapp 'Eye Control'</c>
    <c>microsoft.microsoftedgedevtoolsclient 'Microsoft Edge DevTools Client'</c>
    <c>microsoft.windows.assignedaccesslockapp 'Assigned Access Lock app'</c>
    <c>microsoft.windows.contentdeliverymanager 'Content Delivery Manager'</c>
    <c>microsoft.windows.parentalcontrols 'Microsoft Family Safety'</c>
    <c>microsoft.windows.xgpuejectdialog 'Safely Remove Device'</c>
    <c>microsoft.xboxgamecallableui 'Xbox Game UI'</c>
    <c>windows.cbspreview 'Windows Barcode Preview'</c>
    also language files
    when setting up the install.wim.

    I had enough issue with updates when removing many other things like hello and biometrics before, so I leave them in and disable them. At the bottom of the autounattend is a place to add more packages to remove during first boot, very straightforward. I have been aiming to minimize potential burdens on users I share to from going too far. If Aveyo's script doesn't interfere with updates, awesome to know.

    I'll take note, and you can customize and redistribute as you wish.

    For some reason, I can't exactly pin it down, maybe intel drivers updating, my full titlebar window colorization has ended and it is back to the tab being standard gray with tint of color. Of course, as before, taking a screen snip shows the full colorization... It's as if there is an alpha setting that is getting reset, perhaps. Anything thoughts would be appreciated.

    Did KB5040435 install on your machine? I have a fresh install LTSC IoT., KB5040435 won't install with error 0x80070306. Same with offline package. Nothing installed yet no the system, except some Massgrave activator and whatever Windows Update downloaded for me regarding system drivers.

    Thank you both for your replies. There seems to be something weird with this update, at least with my hardware combination. My desktop really had some issues, but my Surface Go that had 26100.863 too and installed KB5040435 fine. Nothing that really indicated a clear issue using the Get-WindowsUpdateLogs cmdlet. Installed LTSC three times today:

    #1: Installed without key, let Massgravel do some magic, install all available updates. No success, KB5040435 failed with 0x80070306.
    #2: Installed without key, install all available updates. No success, KB5040435 failed with 0x800706be and BSOD afterwards (page fault thingy, the memory corruption BSOD).
    #3: Installed without key, installed KB5040435 first. Success and installed all other Windows and driver updates afterwards.

    Third Time's a Charm. Will run memtest just to be sure, but I'm almost certain nothing is wrong my hardware.

    Edit: scrap that, #3 was also botched despite everything installed fine. Memory access violations across multiple apps, e.g. in powershell with auto-complete (tab). Memtest passed without any problems.

    #4: Reimaged my USB stick, download both offline installers for KB5039239 (june) and KB5040435 (july). Installed june first and july after installing and before going online. Not sure it was my USB stick or KB5040435 without KB5039239 that caused my issues. I did use the same stick to install LTSC on a different system a week earlier.
