So I fully customized an LTSC N 2021 to remove all tracking/telemetry I could... Integrated mic doesn't work. Neither does mic socket. Not even bluetooth mics work. Windows recognizes all mics, they just don't catch any sound. Mic privacy settings crash with some kind of buffer overflow, but I...

W10 brought WDDM 2.0, upgraded to 2.7 in W10 20H1. There seems to have been significant changes to scheduling, including Vsync-counter disable that MacVap cited above, which might explain those video DPC issues, particularly: spiking during idle. In this case, updating may be better than...

Well that may explain why disabling Aero makes everything smoother, from the interface to videos to games. Aero is said to enforce Vsync even when disabled in the driver, and apparently that's why switching DWM off or using Windows Classic themes make it all so much better. I've just applied the...

Uh-oh, that's bad news. The usual suspects have always been Wi-fi and some USB devices (notably, audio interfaces), which made it hell for live audio and video recording and other latency-sensitive uses - e.g. gaming and game servers as well. My last machine didn't last 2h with the early w10 it...

Wow, never knew W10 could get that easy on mem. Now you got me excited. :) I know it's a very uncommon question and it's VMs anyway, but any idea of DPC latency changes on bare metal? If not, no worries, it's just something I specifically need to pay attention to.

That's my kind of language. :) I'll take a look into it, thanks.

Just to complement this point under the light of the questions in OP, my doubts are at the intersection of what you mentioned about the unknowns in LTSC (plus the possible more resources in Pro) and the hardships of even getting LTSC in the first place (plus the bonus of already having...

Good points. I'm actually halfway beween knowing and not knowing w10, as I've used it enough to know my ways as an user, but not as an admin - whereas 7 has been my playground almost as much as Linux - since RC, actually, lots of fun. But I'd like to pick your mind on subtracting - I'm one to...

Yeah, we're on the same boat here - I always say that MS releases are actually betas and they only start to become a thing after the first Super Patch (a.k.a. Service Pack). Took NT 4 of those, 2 for w2k and XP (though XP still needed another one), and 7 was such a historical milestone that to...

OOOps, wrong link, I meant this. Editing.

Hello all, just joining, and glad to find this tool after years of manual installs. As per the title, does it still make sense to use LTSC when we can customize - and automate - the entire installation? I'm currently considering a move from Win7 Pro, as I now use more...
