Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB N - Pure Desktop version, Flexible updates, no Modern Apps

Indeed, but from my experience I was forced to install the Windows10-KB3010081 (Media Player), since some games won't be able to run if this component is missing.

 

Yes, I saw such feedback somewhere too.

 

@pawX if this N ltsb is pure desktop experience how come my home 10 has 1450 packages and yours ltsb pure desktop experience has 1700 packages? Shouldn't you have less than me?

 

More complete maybe

 

@endbase MSMG and Install_wim_tweak has something to do with it :-$

 

Aah oke myself I am running LTSB Enterprise to get rid of all the so called mainstream extra's maybe I'ts in the mind but It fees good tho

 

@endbase ltsb isn't free of every Microsoft crapware you still have to treat windows using MSMG and Install_wim_tweak so it the end it doesn't matter you got ltsb or home you still have to do the same thing if you want pure desktop experience.

 

I'm using WFC to block windows telemetry btw and no other method's

 

^^^ The only difference is ltsb is already started for you. Has a switch in gpedit that pro/home does not. But yes package removal is still an option and with ltsb you start with less crap .

Far purer experience - Windows Embedded 7 with a custom answer file. Lovely and 100% spy free, with no way for it to sneak on.

 

even 8.1 embedded stuff was/is very lean in terms of sending out precious data

 

Is there a chance i can find this specific version in greek by default?

 

not at this moment. I deleted all old 8.1 versions on Jukebox and I wait for the new ones to come

 

What new ones Paul? New M$ refreshed Win8.1 isos?

 

I guess they will. If not I can try to provide embedded 8.1 files upon special request. Since they updated industry files by new os, I'm very positive that they'll redo it on w10 as well

edit for Mr.X: perhaps it was kind of confusing, I talked about embedded files only in that post

 

Oh you're guessing lol
Thought you actually had some solid info...

 

no solid info yet but embedded stuff still is available on MSDN and they updated files upon next availability as usual. Why not this time?

 

The problem is there is no way to actually activate Embedded 8 Standard as far as I'm aware. While I have a perfectly valid key for 7... and Industry Pro/Enterprise are just as likely to be infected at some point by Microsoft.

(Also Windows 10 Embedded has already been rebranded, it'll be part of the Windows IoT line from now on...)

 

never dealt with activating embedded stuff except knowing to use the original MSDN key for that purpose

 

I agree with mrbbq,

WES7 is a very pure experience.
Configured properly and after removal of "extra weight" - it flies.
Boot up times are super-fast, even on mediocre hardware.
