How to get 24h2 iso?
I have a lab full of 23h2 installs that I need to update to 24h2. Manually running the updater for some reason does not update the machines. It acts like it's updating them but then pops back into 23h2 at the last reboot. So I need the 24h2 iso. I can't get the 24h2 iso because the only offered iso is 25h2. I can't install 25h2 because we use DeepFreeze which does not work with 25h2 yet (and probably won't until next year). So where do I get the ISO without going out to Internet Archive or some other shady place? UUPDump isn't downloading half the things it needs so I'm pretty sure that will fail.If I update my Windows 10 to 11, will I lose everything
Windows 11 seems a better option now as it is more stable and less bugs than the day it was first released. In fact, I am a bit worried that all my files and app would be deleted after upgrade. I have 1 TB data on my Windows 10 computers and many games. It could be a huge problem to backup the data and download/reinstall games. My question is: If I update my Windows 10 to 11, will I lose everything? Some of people say it will delete everything but some others say it will keep all files and apps. I can't tell who are correct. Please help me. ThanksWindows 11 LTSC 24H2 unpin from taskbar
New install of Win 11 LTSC on my daughter's computer. When I right click on a taskbar app (Microsoft Store or any default taskbar app) it doesn't bring up the context window to unpin the app from the taskbar. How can I restore the unpin function. Searched Google and none of the suggestions help. Help! Thanks.
After installing KB5065426, access to remote host no longer works with "Invoke-Command -Session"
Hello, we have noticed that after installing the KB5065426 update, there are problems accessing a remote host via Invoke-Command and executing further code in Powershell. Before installing the update, the following code worked to execute a script directly on the target host. $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $hostname -Credential $credentials Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock $patchScript Once the update is installed, access breaks and you get the following error: Connecting to remote server (hostname) failed with the following error message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. CategoryInfo: OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed Is there any information available about this? Unfortunately, we currently had to uninstall the update so that existing access to the remote host via “Invoke-Command -Session $session” would work.
Existing Windows 11 not booting
After buying an extra SSD I decided to dual boot my PC with one SSD being Windows 11 and another being Linux Ubuntu. Recently I decided to get rid of my Linux drive by cleaning it on DISKPART but after doing so now my Windows 11 drive is not booting or showing up on BIOS, I installed another Windows 11 on my previous Linux drive, booted it up and checked the drives, everything is there and showing up but the drive letters are out of place and scrambled. I can't change the original windows 11 drive letter back to C. On Disk Management the old Windows 11 drive doesn't have an EFI partition, that might be the problem but I'm not sure. Could the problem be something else? Any help with this matter would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Purchased upgrade from Home to Pro through MS Store - No confirmation, can't install
Hi All As per the title, I bought an upgrade for Win 11 Home > Pro from the MS Store earlier today. I've not received any form of confirmation email, but the purchase is showing in my account. However, I can't find a way to actually execute the upgrade. Can anyone provide any insight on how to sort this one out? Thanks in advance!
Setting up a default profile
Hey all. Windows 11 is becoming increasingly frustrating trying to set up profiles the way we traditionally do it in our company and I am hoping for a new method. Our current method is we do a reimage using a PXE boot setup that installs everything and then we log in to our admin account to make sure we add some things that arent in the image like remote connection software and Lenovo updaters. After that, we usually have to have a user log in, and then we set up their mail for Outlook 2019 (this is what we use instead of the Outlook that comes with Windows), then set up Teams and we use Chrome as a browser. Next we set up default apps to use Adobe as the default PDF viewer, a different media player as the default media player, and Chrome. Then we check all updates, use VAMT to license the Office products, and then hand it over. What I would like to do is to be able to set up the main account on these computers and then have all of the subsequent logins/profile creations mimic this. Some of the frustrations now stem from Microsoft pinning their Windows Outlook on the taskbar and not being able to fully get rid of it, and the other is the way they changed the default apps. In Windows 10, I could just tell it the default email app, default photo viewer, default media player, etc. Now I have to choose the app and then say what all file extensions will be set to the default app I choose to use. Our issue is that we can do initial setups with users, but once someone signs in at another computer, it creates a profile, none of these settings are there, and they try to use the Windows Outlook and it wont work for them so they put in a ticket. I also would love to just be able to hand over computers to users without having to have them sit there and be with me to set up the profile. I have started asking for passwords, but thats weird for some folks (which is understandable). I offer setting a temporary password in AD so we can both access it while I set up their new computer and then I will just let them reset it in AD when im done, but all that seems ridiculous. I feel like there has to be an easier way. We tried using the XML file with the GPO for the default apps, but that didnt work so I am assuming we did something incorrect or maybe that method no longer works. Is there a way to make it where when new users log in and it sets up their profile, we will have Outlook (not Windows Outlook), Teams, and Chrome pinned to the taskbar while unpinning Windows Outlook, Microsoft Store, and Edge, and then having all of the default apps already preset? Also is there a way to remove Windows Outlook so that none of the profiles can access that? Those tickets are so aggravating because its something so simple and yet I havent been able to find a way to remove it completely so that it doesnt pop up on newly created profiles.
