Hi guys! So...yeah, I have a W10 IoT LTSC permanently activated via massgrave getting this warning. Any idea what's up? Shouldn't it continue chugging along for a good few years more?

EDIT: This is a VM, as I run mainly Linux on everything if I can avoid it. I'm just feating there might be more like this.

Na there are a bunch of caveats and different types of Windows 10/11 Enterprise and specifically IoT Enterprise.

Go back to their wiki pages cuz you are guna have to re-do the activation process and should nake sure you are setting it up per the provided instructions. Ive had windows 11 Enterprise IoT running for over a year now and its the best exclusive to Windows/Microsoft decision I ever made.

Microsoft makes a relatively great product in its Enterprise line, stripping most of the spy/bloatware out and allowing simple user configuration settings changes to kill the rest, plus all the advertised tools/software that only comes with an Enterprise shit.

Then they strip all the useful tools out, facefuck as much bloatware as they can jizz into your PC while buttfucking even more spyware into your PC raw dog style with so much breaking of everything with every fuckin update they release and call that fucking bastard Windows 10/11 Home Edition.

Im sorry I forgot what this conversation was about buuuuutttt fuck Windows in their fucking fuckhole is the TLDR.

Edit: This is all going entirely off memory wirh a huge iirc asterisks on it. I definitely remember having to do the set up over and over again, tho, figuring out which version was the best option for my use. I got the bitch set up now with local account, zero microsoft account affiliation and dont update fuckall unless its severe severe severe security risk. Its the best and most consistent my PC has ever ran.

If your pirating which for end users is the only way to get LTSC, just run Windows Server.

It's cleaner than LTSC.

Can you elaborate on how it's cleaner?

xbox gamebar isn't preinstalled. Onedrive backup and bing search bar isn't preinstalled.
