    I think you are right, this method is useless and a waste of time.

    Are there any leaked isos for Rog Ally Xbox from China? If yes, where did you found it?

    There are what are rumored to be leaked ISOs, MDL's TOU does not allow sharing stuff like this here for good reason.

    I would personally not recommend or in most cases even try something like these yet as their origin is at best very questionable -- they could just as likely be completely fake and full of malware; even good VMs and Emulators like VMWare, Hyper-V, Promox, BOCHS, VirtualBox et. al can be targeted by malware.

    It is likely however if Windows 11 Xbox Full Screen Experience is any good, that there will be something more official released via the MSDN, and that sort of thing can be accessed through much safer channels.

    24H2, which is constantly adding new stuff, has increased the size of the Systemapps folder alone by 400M from version 1742 to 4484.

    W11, no improvement. either 24H2 or 25H2.
    W10, is dying off soon.

    Microsoft, what do you want your user to go? :D

    Finally, version 25H2 26200.5670 has been released. As usual, I compiled the IoT LTSC build (now without the Insider Preview prefix) using the SunLion tool, but I was unable to install it. At the last stage of installation, a message pops up: The system cannot check for updates, connect to WiFi or connect a network cable and click “Next.” I connected the cable, clicked “Next,” the PC rebooted, and I got the same message again. Hmm, I've never had this happen before. In general, it is still unclear what is happening. It seems that something is wrong with the network drivers. Either they are incompatible with my not-so-new hardware in version 25H2, or they are not included in this update at all. In general, I only have questions — unfortunately...

    I first saw this issue on Win11_lot_Ent_LTSC_25H2_26200.5661_tr_x64.
    And I gave up trying Win11_lot_Ent_LTSC_25H2_26200 until a stable version came out..

    I've also had detecting nw fail on Win 10 installs on older hw. Sometimes post install, going into the n/w settings and toggling the jumbo frames setting or using an older chipset driver worked. Seems MS or 3rd parties are giving up support for older chipsets and components.

    So why support it, it's not interesting. Even version 26200.хххх (25H2) causes problems, so what can we say about Canary?
    I'll tell you more: don't expect anyone to tell you when a normal, problem-free Canary will be released. Canary/Dev is the future state of Windows, and it may or may not be in Stable. That's why I personally don't see any point in working on this version of Windows. ИМНО

    MS is now focusing on the Canary version. All the bugs left over from Win10 and early Win11 will be fixed in Canary first. Secondly, Win11 and Win10 are both based on the NT10 kernel, except that MS will release Win12 in the future and upgrade the NT11/NT12 kernel. On the contrary, Win11 Canary is the latest bug-fixed version of Win10, so it runs very stably. As for Canary being a future version, don't expect stability, etc. IMHO, the latest Win11 27881 is already very stable. We can regard the high-version NT10 kernel Canary as the most stable "Win10"

    In addition to Microsoft releasing Win12 with upgraded NT11/NT12 kernel, we should use the latest Win11 Canary, which is of great significance

    Microsoft has all solutions. but it wouldn't release them now, or in an all-in-one package. Microsoft will release some every time. (of course, if you identify its one bug, such as EternalBlue. Microsoft would release its solution one second later. it has the solution in advance).

    people here are working on their own solution as they know Microsoft well. they are NOT Microsoft's co-workers. but they know how to use Microsoft's work in a better way, in a safer way.

    I have no doubt that Microsoft already has all the solutions, but they are in no hurry to implement them in their product. Because right now they have other concerns, such as cramming as many unnecessary components and features into the image as possible. Well, we, for our part, are trying to clean up the image of all this crap to the best of our ability and knowledge so that our system works stably and quickly.

    Well, who's arguing with you? Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this matter. You really like Conary, fine, use it to your heart's content. Believe that it's a very stable and good system, it's your decision — good luck!

    Question for the audience, maybe someone knows and can help me out: it's super easy to use a script to change the Eterprise LTSC edition to the IoT Eterprise LTSC edition, but how do I change the IoT Eterprise edition to the IoT Eterprise LTSC edition?
