Help 60Puntos en pantalla (artifacts) con Intel HD Graphics (Pentium G3250) en Windows 10 21H2

0 Upvotes

Hola a todos. Tengo una PC con un procesador Intel Pentium G3250 (gráficos integrados Intel HD de 4.ª gen). Recientemente instalé Windows 10 21H2.

El problema es que al instalar el controlador de video de Intel (tanto el que descarga Windows Update como el oficial de la página de Intel), me salen unos punticos en la pantalla (artifacts) y por momentos la imagen se congela brevemente y regresa.

Si uso el 'Controlador de pantalla básico de Microsoft' no hay puntos ni congelamientos, pero no puedo configurar la pantalla a 60 Hz estables ni tengo aceleración por hardware. ¿Alguien ha logrado hacer funcionar el driver de Intel en Windows 10 21H2 sin esos fallos o existe algún driver modificado/solución en el registro? Gracias."*

Question Question about putting win 11 iso LTSC on fresh build

2 Upvotes

I read the wiki and have googled it but haven’t found an answer. l also read the massgrave site but some of it was over my head because i dont have alot of technical knowledge.

If I have a new build and dont have a OS to go to massgrave with to download the file how do I put it on that PC? I have a laptop I could use to put a file on a usb stick in the traditional OS install style.

Thanks

Help How can I acquire a functioning copy of Windows 11 Enterprise L.T.S.C. I.o.T. in the least unethical way?

0 Upvotes

Dear Fellow Redditors,

I need to have a dual-booted copy of Windows to play a Video Game which requires such. However, simultaneously, I can not tolerate the Home or Pro versions of Windows, given their level of:
- Bloat;
- Spyware/Telemetry;
- Restricted Freedom;
- Excessive Price;
- A.I.-included/generated code;
- Forced Updates;
- Forced Online account/Features

Hence, I will not settle for any less than the L.T.S.C/L.T.S.B. Enterprise I.o.T. editions.

However, I am a personal and individual consumer, not an Enterprise. Therefore, I can not legally acquire a copy that would function in the long-term.

I concurrently do not wish to use Shady activation keys or cracks that would bypass the activation.

So, my question is: How I can acquire and maintain a copy of Windows 11 Enterprise L.T.S.C. I.o.T. in the long-term as a personal and individual consumer whilst minimally, and ideally not at all, contravening my ethics/using black/gray-hat hacking and minimally interfering with the security of the System?

I am not satisfied with the current solutions as they are currently virtually a dichotomy between people who have no scruples and are willing to go as far as they wish with cracking to acquire such or people who have scruples/are ignorant and hence give up on acquiring such or do not know about it yet forfeiting their rights and dignity by contravening the problems which I listed in the beginning with the other editions.

EDIT: The most legitimate/non-black hat way which I have determined to do this, whilst inconvenient, is to download the official evaluation I.S.O. and re-install it every 90 days, or somehow minorly hack/reset the date to continue it indefinitely. Here is the official lnk for anyone who is interested:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-11-iot-enterprise-ltsc-eval

EDIT 2: For those who are short on Time or are not careful readers, the reason why one would have to re-install the evaluation I.S.O. every 90 days, without using some ad-hoc created minor crack to fool the date or system, is because of what is written on the web site:

If you fail to activate this evaluation after installation, or if your evaluation period expires, [...] the PC will shut down every hour.

Though, even if you created a minor crack for this, this seems much less worse/much less intrusive and unethical than using artificial and illicit activators. Though for now I personally plan to not make one even though I could.

EDIT 3: Please utilise Mr. /u/w0lvrne 's solution. With this, one can use the evaluation I.S.O. for a whole year.

EDIT 4: Due to the limitations of my time, I will not be replying to any further comments on MMXXVI-X-XIX. However, I may, at my leisure, choose to reply to ones in the future from MMXXVI-X-XX onwards. God-Speed.

Discussion Offline patching W10 LTSC

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m an SCCM Administrator and have the pleasure of managing the OS image deployments for a large company. We have a few HP models that are licensed for W10 Enterprise LTSC (1809, and 21H2). I inject the latest cumulative patches into the install.wim prior to importing them into CM, and it’s been a flawless process until the October update. The latest patch now includes the ESU enablement KB, which breaks or prevents offline patch injection. The 1809 image still accepts the patch offline but not the 21h2 ISO. I tested the September oob patch and that works as well. I’m confused why this is happening since the 10 LTSC is still supported for at least a couple years still. Has anyone experienced this? Or maybe has a workaround?

For anyone still using Windows 10 LTSC, NVIDIA is ending new Game Ready Driver updates for Windows 10 after October 2026. After that, NVIDIA will continue releasing security updates every three months until October 2029.

Your current drivers will still work, but you won't get new Game Ready Driver updates.

Help Want to install win ltsc on my new computer but a bit lost

4 Upvotes

so I just got a new computer and it came with no operating system.

I really want to stay on windows 10, to still be on windows and not on 11,

so I want to install windows 10 ltsc on my mew computer,

I have an activated license of windows 10 home on my old computer and have a boot stick for windows 10 that I made from that computer with Microsoft official "boot stick" maker for lack of a better term.

how would I go about installing windows 10 ltsc on my new computer if it dosent currently have any os on it? Do I install windows 10 and then turn it into ltsc? do I directly install windows ltsc? how do I make a boot stick if I don't have an os installed?

thank you!

Question How can I extend the pause updates duration?

1 Upvotes

After the latest update, pausing updates changed to a calendar form instead of a drop down menu and I can no longer pause them for how long I want to. Before, I could change it in the registry to be like 500 days so I can update whenever I want to. But that option no longer works because why would big M let me have control. I'm not even gonna mention a small fps loss compared to before update.

"Windows LTSC was designed to provide maximum stability, zero consumer bloat, and total user control. Something you don't expect from Windows. But for a while I've actually recommended people not use it. Well, I may have been wrong. Because it turns out the issues I had with it are not issues anymore. Today I (the author of the video) will explain why."
