aren’t they reinstalled during every update like the telemetry settings?

neither of those has done it in a while for me

They used to, but Microsoft has explicitly stopped that practice with the first Creator's Update, I think. I remember reading about it on the Windows Blog.

when i installed the spring creators update i did see some uwp apps get installed, but it was microsoft's uwp crap and not like, candy crush or minecraft or turbotax. but they did mention that the spring creators update was broken so maybe that's the part that was broken.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
i wonder if they've fixed the thing that causes any user not logged in when the update is run to have their star menu reset

i mean presumably not, because was almost certainly intentional, but it'd be nice

maybe they can even figure out how to retain my "don't show me loving ads in the start menu you cocksuckers" setting between major updates

i love that they introduced multiple desktops and got it working mostly properly and are looking to gently caress up everyone who incorporated it into their workflow by changing the layout & including more/different functionality into it

the get- cmdlet gets a list of packages, and that list is piped into the remove- cmdlet, which attempts to remove all the packages in the list

ltsb is supposed to be for embedded systems, the one intended for enterprise laptops/desktops is "current branch for business" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows-10/release-information

You made me curious and now I'm gonna make an honest effort to switch from calc to speedcrunch at work

It seems really nice and was the most popular option after wolframalpha without sending all your stuff to the cloud

microsoft says ltsb/ltsc is for "special-purpose PCs such as those used in point-of-sale systems or controlling factory or medical equipment", windows 10 iot is for embedded

i imagine very large institutions like international banks and others with workstations in the tens of thousands would also gravitate towards it in an effort to stretch the amount of time they are using specific software (in ui/functionality terms) as long as possible without having to spend crazy amounts of resources to deploy a new os and software (including retraining their staff of olds on how all the new poo poo works because none of the menus are the same and it was all straight muscle memory for them on the old versions)

Does LTSB still have the annoying bug where subsequently opened windows act as if the previous iteration of that program wasn't closed and open a bit lower and to the right of the previous window (like happens when you're opening multiple Explorer windows, for example)?

Problem is LTSB is not supported by, for example, Windows 10 ATP

considering how obvious a shitshow the current state of iot is this actually seems like a really good plan by microsoft

in that it is obviously a trick to lock functioning iot into talking to azure by default
