    Of the around 8 computers in my house I am down to just a single Windows machine and every time I see an update queued I wonder just how much worse it will be after the update is applied. How many new bugs, reset settings and user hostile shit will I have to put up with this time.

      Move to ltsc if you have to use Windows. You don’t get the updates everyone else gets. Just security updates.

        I second this - it’s a whole world of better … install with a few anti telemetry and anti-crap scripts.

            You can get the MS ISO of the Win 10 LTSC from the official website.

            To activate. https://massgrave.dev/

            LTSC has an amazing amount already removed this is my goto for the rest

            Open PowerShell as Administrator. ​Run: iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex ​Navigate to the Tweaks tab and apply the Essential Tweaks profile to safely disable residual telemetry and scheduled tasks.

            Sycnex Windows10Debloater for any remaining tweaks.

      I hit the point a while ago of just setting my connection as metered so it doesn’t download any updates. I know it’s less secure, but I just want to use my computer and not spend hours fixing problems they create with every update.

        I just install 10 LTSC on the computers I REALLY need windows on. The updates have no new features at this point, just security. I don’t use it too much, but it’s just less obnoxious than 11.
