  • I had to use it for Gears of War 4 and Gears of War UE. My experiences:

    • It’s taking half an hour to start the download. What the fuck is it doing?
    • Oh good, it’s almost installed. Oh it paused for some reason? No problem I’ll just resume- oh, it’s just restarted the whole 120GB download.
    • I’ll restart my PC because Steam can pick up where it pauses between restarts and surely Microsoft the creator of the fucking OS can get something basic like that correct- oh I guess not.
    • Oh sweet an update for Gears, oh wait no it’s redownloading the entire game to apply the update.
    • Why isn’t the update downloading? Oh support is telling me I need to uninstall and reinstall the game. Oh that didn’t work this time and instead I need to enter an obscure wsreset command instead?
    • What do you mean I can’t access the game folder to look at the files?
    • Why isn’t the game launching any more? It’s just stuck on the splash screen. Oh the store says it’s corrupt? It needs a full redownload again.

    Not to mention the issues with Microsoft sign in/Teredo once in-game.

    The Xbox app has the same issues because it’s just a differently coloured UI over the same APIs. They’ve had multiple decades and still can’t get the basics right, I think Steam will be fine.


  • Yes, MS is getting more aggressive in their end of life terms for the general availability channel releases (Home, Pro). Use Windows 10 LTSC (EOL 2027) or Windows 10 IoT LTSC (EOL 2032) to avoid this.

    Download the one you want from here: https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

    Optionally, you can customise the install media using NTLite if you want to automate customisation/debloating. Test in a VM first before deploying.

    Once installed, activate using https://massgrave.dev/ using the HWID option.

    I completed a build a couple of months ago:

    • ASRock X670E Steel Legend
    • Ryzen 7 7800X3D
    • 128 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo
    • Nvidia RTX 4090 Founders Edition
    • Bunch of NVMe storage
    • Fractal Design Meshify 2

    I mostly emulate stuff or play 2D games, otherwise I’m working through my boomer shooter backlog.




    1. Explanatory posts to correct the potential mistakes a comrade made in a post of their own are allowed, as long as they remain respectful

    I think my comment is close in spirit to that rule. If a mod disagrees then they're free to remove it.

    I just dislike false info, no malice in my comment.


  • Another day another YouTuber spreading false info. This behaviour happens if you disable recall before OOBE can run which is where you’re asked to enable Recall e.g if you customise the install ISO.

    You can remove Recall just fine by running Dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"Recall" or by unticking it in the “optional features” dialog after OOBE runs, and you’ll still have the new Explorer UI.
