      Don’t think this has anything to do with extended service update activation if you are concerned about that. The ESU should still work as it uses a different activation approach. Massgrave also has other ways to activate windows.

      And Microsoft might actually have broken this by accident. If they wanted to get rid of massgrave they would probably start by deleting the github org.

        I use LTSC IoT for my consulting laptop. If Win were released this way normally, there wouldn’t be as many haters.

        I still prefer my Årch box, this version of Windows is totally acceptable to me.

          Yeah, no Microsoft store, no onedrive to uninstall. No messenger, candy crush, tiktok on the start up menu after a fresh install. No copilot paint. No copilot notes. No xbox copilot app.

          Its a boring OS which is what most critics wanted.
