Ye, I always disable non-security related updates on pretty much all my hardware, then do a update once a year for new features on some stuff.
Recently got access to Windows 10 LTSC from a company I worked with and installed it on my workstation, super fast compared to the modern version I was using (LTSC build is 3 years old IIRC) and didn't find any downside compared to 10 Pro, so can recommend that for any dev that feels like their machine is too slow.
- behnamoh 5y agoIs there a way to disable all unnecessary services in Windows 10 to make it be as close to LTSC as possible?
- gruez 5y agoThe main draw of LTSC IMO is the 10 year support period. You can continue installing the monthly updates, and not have to worry about a feature update. Those are the ones that come twice a year, and ruins your day by taking 1 hour to install, resets random settings in the process (eg. default apps or telemetry settings), randomly changes the layout/color scheme, and randomly replaces your built in apps with worse ones (https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/12/07/redesigned-notepad-for-windows-11-begins-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders/ https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/12/07/redesig...). A debloating script doesn't protect you against those. as for disabling bloat in non-LTSC versions, there's various scripts floating around, eg. https://github.com/DrEmpiricism/Optimize-Offline/ https://github.com/DrEmpiricism/Optimize-Offline/ or https://ameliorated.info/ https://ameliorated.info/
