Anyone knows of a "windows search" replacement alternative ?? (full replacement, providing seamless/integral shell integration/replacement).. I mistakenly removed the search feature along with cortana when with MSMG.. I'm seeking for potential alternatives/workaround first. Search Everything by Voidtools does the job, but partially only.. I'd love to find some way to redirect the now "disabled" <search on type> from within the start menu, so that when I start typing, it does so in Everything instead.. (not sure its worth the time required to look for such a reg tweak however.. if any exist at all) I'll take any hints/advises.. Thanks
The 1803 is full of bugs (check windows 10 reddit and you'll see), 1709 is meh, 1703 is usable, 1607 will not receive any updates for now, I understand your opinion but you forgot that MSFT is adding a lot of useless features and then, they forgot to fix their OS, the main reason of why I'm using ltsb is that I don't have any bugs or problems on it besides, I don't need to care about upgrades... But, like I've said, I respect your opinion.
I found the way, sorry for my ignorance, the way to look, is open the regedit after the load, and with the prefix "tk_" is the mounted registry.
Not sure what you are you are doing with these builds but all of the bugs I have seen are corner cases, not having any issues with 1709 (with current CU) or 1803. I don't use any of the new features, just rip them out. I use the current builds to have the best core OS.

In terms of OSes, LTSB is ancient (2 years old.) Only meant for commercial, industrial use it is not a consumer product. Use it if you wish, but I prefer the most recent. I don't rip stuff out, I add stuff in.
A lot of features were changed/added on 17672 so that explains the many errors, the tool will need a update.
@the peeps bashing LTSB unfortunately m$ f**ed LTSB users very bad by 'NOT SUPPORTING NEW HARDWARE!' latest cpus and chipsets are not supportet on 1607 LTSB! WTF! got my hands on an 'Surface_Pro_1807' and guess what: it is not possible to install driver package from MS even with driver download from M$ activated no drivers are offered via MU so no luck with LTSB 1609 on new devices... hence my need to 'create' a LTSB-like 'new-hardware-supporting-w10edition' btw: on surface3 no problems with LTSB1609 at all...
Newer hardware will be supported by the release of the next one, according to MSFT docs it's expected to be released in about 5-6 months, called 1809 LTSC.
Same for me, only use LTSB at home on a HP server and a desktop pc. every now and then i just integrate the latest Cumulative update into the untouched image, so i keep it up to date that way. Did this yesterday in fact and after a clean install there was only a couple of small updates to get, so nice and quick.
