    Please tell me how I can use the lock screen window recommendation background when I log in from 24h226100 LTSC. There are a lot of Windows repack masters here, but I don't have a solution to this one. I'm curious and want to solve it. Please help

    I remember that there were keys or values to be able to pause Windows Update for a certain time.

    Code:
    ; Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Pause updates > Up to 4 years
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
    "FlightSettingsMaxPauseDays"=dword:000005b4
    
    ; Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Pause updates > Until January 1st, 2026
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
    "PauseFeatureUpdatesStartTime"="2022-07-01T20:00:00Z"
    "PauseQualityUpdatesStartTime"="2022-07-01T20:00:00Z"
    "PauseFeatureUpdatesEndTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"
    "PauseQualityUpdatesEndTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"
    "PauseUpdatesExpiryTime"="2026-01-01T20:00:00Z"
    I tried to apply this in Windows 11 21H2/22H2/23H2 and even in 24H2 without success.

    Does anyone know if there is another way to do it via registry or using cmd commands?

    If you're trying to do that with the registry, I don't think that's possible.
    How about changing the contents of "netsvcs" on a schedule?

    I use the one to pause updates. Works very well and to re-enable just click on un-pause updates and they resume.

    Its from Ankh Tech toolbox.

    Code:
    @echo.
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseFeatureUpdatesStartTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseQualityUpdatesStartTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseUpdatesExpiryTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2050-11-01T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseFeatureUpdatesEndTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2050-11-01T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseQualityUpdatesEndTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2050-11-01T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v "PauseUpdatesStartTime" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27T22:13:15Z" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\Settings" /v "PausedQualityStatus" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\Settings" /v "PausedFeatureStatus" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\Settings" /v "PausedQualityDate" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27 22:13:15" /f >nul 2>&1
    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\Settings" /v "PausedFeatureDate" /t REG_SZ /d "2022-09-27 22:13:15" /f >nul 2>&1
    @echo.  Updates Paused Until 2050
    @echo.

    Defragsvc keeps starting on my 24h2 installation when it's idle and is eating up my ssd. (checked it on resource monitor)

    Should I be worried?

    Definitely, 11 is known to have constantly defragmented SSDs twice and thus lowering their lifespan. Third time is the charm. :bruce_h4h:

    Running an initial defragmentation on a fresh system is important for optimizing the Volume Shadow Copy service, which helps with creating backup copies of files or volumes even when they're in use. This ensures that the shadow copies don't overwrite important data
    Applies to all disks and ssd's ..nvme's

    It is not just that anymore, it is typing overall now, like in Settings and you will not be able to login to Windows, local or MS account, if you use any password or PIN.
