  • I’ve tried that far too many times with both W10 and W11. Microsoft always finds a way to re-bloat. I’m pretty sure they have a team dedicated to making sure you get a bunch of bullshit bloat, and to find work arounds to however you removed it.

    Way less painful to start over with LTSC and then forget about keeping on top of bloat, AI, and telemetry.


  • Im here to spread the good word for those who need/want to still use Windows, look up W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

    Things it doesn’t have: Recall, copilot, ads, cortana, TPM requirement, secure boot requirement, ms store, XBOX and gaming services.

    Once it’s freshly installed, it’s like a fresh XP install, naked. Can even group policy to turn off all telemetry. It’s fantastic for gaming.

    Since they refuse to license it to just anyone, check out massgravedotdev.





  • I haven’t left because W11 IoT LTSC exists. No AI, no store, options to disable all the telemetry, no bloat. It’s what a Windows system should be and is pleasant to use. Also Tidal music doesn’t have a viable Linux option 😢. Oh and Quest 2 PCVR streaming.

    I also have a Bazzite install I hop on pretty frequently, and it’s getting rather close to me switching which one is my daily driver OS. And leaving a Windows Install for Battlefield. Valorant, and VR.

    Edit: Also, it would be a huge shame for someone to waste their time looking for the IoT LTSC .iso on a website massgravedotdev.
