Windows 11 General Discussion

theFOoL · Apr 27, 2024

Hmm so I replaced folders from my 23H2 to 24H2 but the process right now I think the ISO is confused

Folders were boot, efi, support and in sources all the files in root plus sxs/uup Folder and... Just now it loaded the drive to select. Again it's slow... I'll let ya know. Edit: Now it's installing...

PS - I'll upload file if it's All working

Oh I replaced the appraiser files to

Having to Re-DL but trying different stuff

OK I just replaced everything in the sources folder except the install.WiM things are happening...

Oops lol back to create again

OK one more test tonight then I'll figure something else tomorrow

Got me grubby mitts on it.

This is how Windows 11 should've been from the beginning. The only preinstalled crapware is Edge, and it doesn't require a Microsoft account to install.

I might actually use this.

1.5GB memory in use! My wife's Lenovo settles in around 6GB after a cold boot, and I've done my best to clean out the first and third party junk.

I forgot to note that the fresh install also only takes up 10GB of space.

Granted, this is in a VM, so I'm not sure if it's indicative of how it'll be on bare metal. I'll need to mess with it some more.

Why is Edge crapware? Works totally fine and many people have switched over to it. Chrome is junk now. Edge is pretty good.

Because it can't be easily uninstalled if you don't want it.

I agree that the browser itself is fine (I use it at work); I'd just rather not have it and use Firefox.

Darmok N Jalad · May 25, 2024

My issue with Edge is all the extra stuff that MS tacks on to it. I guess some might like it, but I prefer a cleaner UI. Bright Bing.Copilot Button, sidebars, and tabs inside of tabs and all that starts feeling a bit crowded and overwhelming for my taste. Once I get that stuff knocked back, it's okay, I guess.

I guess the only relevant question with regards to this is whether the POPCNT instruction is required. I'd assume so if it's gonna be based on 24H2

Klemc · May 28, 2024

The best i found is Ghost Spectre, i searched a ready to install OS for SteamDeck.

I used my AutoUnattend XML and it worked for the COMPACT version (in a VM for test), but for the SUPERLITE version (image also contained on same disk) it didn't, image is not found (even if i remove the image index from the xml btw i need to remove the file instead), idk why.
For the two i extracted the image index (ADK) to have only one choice available, same thing(s) done.

So not for the oldest hardware around..

mechtech · May 28, 2024

Is NT Lite still a thing?? Could you debloat a regular home/pro ISO with it?

Onasi · May 28, 2024

@mechtech
Yeah, still works for 11. How well it will work with the final 24H2 is obviously an open question, but should be fine.
I still prefer doing things manually via PowerShell, gpedit and registry on a normally installed OS, personally, that way I am actually fully in control of whatever is changed, but the practical difference is minimal.

So I’ve noticed a rather disturbing bug on 11. When I go to unlock the PC, occasionally there’s a brief window of time after the display wakes up but before the password prompt when I can see my desktop contents as they were when the PC had previously been locked. So whatever I last had open shows for maybe a second before the password screen loads, meaning, you can see what I had open without unlocking it, though just briefly. I’ve actually noticed this on both my work and home PC. Anyone else notice this happening?

Nope, can say I've seen that happening. I am on Insider builds though, so it could be that the bug was corrected without much fanfare on my side (though, by the nature of the bug, it should have been fixed everywhere relatively quickly if it's a bug that Microsoft knows about)

I can’t say how long I’ve seen it, but my work PC is the worst offender, and it’s on the corporate version of Windows. I’d think no matter what they’d be fixing it there if they know about it. I can’t report the bug at work due to all that stuff being locked down. I can say it’s on 23H2 at least.

Probably something you'll want to tell whoever is doing the support work for your job's computers (at least if it's kinda a big company), but yeah, not much you can do in that case without knowing what exactly is triggering it.

Interesting analysis about the Recall feature that should be shipping to Windows 11 some time soon

Recall: Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible.

Photographic memory comes to Windows, and is the biggest security setback in a decade.

As it is, it looks like a security super-nightmare

I posted on my profile about it. It's absolutely horrible. A malware writers wet dream.

It's ironic the tool made to steal all the UNENCRYPTED data stored is called TOTALRECALL! :laugh:

This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI

Windows Recall takes a screenshot every five seconds. Cybersecurity researchers say the system is simple to abuse—and one ethical hacker has already built a tool to show how easy it really is.

www.wired.com

Btw, Adobe just pushed new terms where they reserve the right to look at all your content. These fkers are getting wild with the built in trojans.

InVasMani · Jun 6, 2024

I'm sure it's very climate friendly too and runs on hydrogen so perfectly clean.

jarablue · Jun 6, 2024

Is there any way to disable this recall feature? No way in hell I am keeping that enabled.

Good ol' Paul Thurrott is still carrying water for Recall. He thinks that this researcher "needs to find a new line of work" and that Recall is a secure feature. I know the guy has made a living off this stuff, but some days I don't get his position on things. I used to frequent his (ad-riddled, memory-hogging) site more often, but it's like one minute he can see things clearly, then the next he's taking the controversial position like he's running a talk show. I dunno, from what I read of that link, even if that guy is only half right, it's still a feature that places a TON of risk directly on the user.
