    Windows 8.1

    Keep in mind that "Legacy" Windows Backup Services (Meaning anything that is not File History) fail if "Workstation" Service is not set to Automatic. Took me a while to figure that one, as I was disabling that because I do not use SMB.

    OK, so I found out I can unpack appxbundles and appx files with M$ SDK, and heard that supposedly allows me to install them via these commands: takeown /f "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps" /r /d y icacls "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps" /grant "Everyone":F xcopy %~dp0WindowsApps...

    Windows 10 - Help with pre-installed software

    So far I've found you need to mark 'OEM Setup Complete' in Unattended to have SetupComplete to Run in Windows 10, though I have no idea why. As for how to preinstall those, I have the switches for silent installation of a few softwares in my setupcomplete, Here are those...

    Help a Crazy Ol' Sport (Settings for Maximum Privacy of Win10)

    I use Windows Updates Blocker, W10Privacy, OOSU, WPD and WinAeroTweaker. The combo with a custom hosts file seems enough to break windows update yet keep all the stuff I actuall use and need working. They were also joined by Killer Control Center recently.

    Actually no, it can be installed on LTSC without the store. My recommendation is: Install Win LTSC Install Drivers Offline Connect to Store, Download UWP (Useless Windows Poo?) Control Panels Disconnect from Internet Install Software Activate Windows with KMS Plug all the leaks Which is how I...

    UWP Drivers and related Apps

    There's a thread at MDL that deals with those installations on LTSC. I'm not keen on the details (a lot of this powershell scripting goes over my head), but it should be helpful on the installing apps part, methinks...

    UWP Drivers and related Apps

    So, there's this annoying new practice of relasing drivers in these UWP format, as if to make us unable to integrate them into images and forcing us to go to the M$ Store at least once so we can have the control panels in our OSs. It would be great if NTLite had a way to integrate/automate...

    Thanks for the clarification on the windows thing. As for drivers, well, Shiny new machine, it has Some very specific Realtek Drivers for audio, Nvidia Thunderbolt, and Alienware command center. Everything else I've found the drivers for windows 8.1

    Windows 8.1

    What's the difference between embedded and 'normal' pro. Also thunderbolt drivers for Windows 8.1 are non existent so I now need Ltsc for one machine, at least. T.T

    yes, it can do that, even drive a 4K@30Hz tv (pretty sure it could do a 60Hz, but don't have one to check).

    Windows 8.1

    Thanks. I've already stumbled on that and made my own frankedriver, but after finding 4505, gave up on that. 4505 has been stable and well behaved on the two notebooks that are using it, and gave me no problems. Preformance is good enough for anything short of gaming, which seriously, is NOT...

    Windows 8.1

    As and answer for my own question, in case anyone has the same problem, applocker was to blame. Especifically 'SPPSVC' or 'Software Protection'. Funnily enough, keeping that and MSStore for Touchpad and Bluetooth compatibility, but disabling other credential related stuff makes UAC behave in...

    To anyone needing Kaby Lake Drivers for their Windows 8.1 devices, DRP.SU website has a stable, but old version, 21.20.16.4505 It does not requires disabling the checks, and it works. Now I found something that doesn't: Intel Dynamic Thermal Framework, the thing keeping the fans from spinning...

    Windows 8.1

    Thanks! And from what I've gathered on the net, it is possible to re-enable Driver Signing afterwards, it just needs to be disabled during the driver install phase. From what I've heard, Kabylake iGPU is just a Skylake iGPU with different clocks.

    Windows 8.1

    Question: Is it possible to automate the proccess of disabling driver signature enforcement >> Installing unsigned driver >> re-enabling driver signature enforcement? I need Modded Intel Graphics Driver for a KAbylake Notebook, that's why.
