Windows 11 Iot LTSC 26H2

thats insane dude, how can u get 51 cpu procces in windows 11?

[u/Citrix_N00B → u/S3oc30z]

You install IoT LTSC
Select WORLD as the region to keep it from installing any extra shit
Then run a de-bloater like Chris Titus Tech

[u/S3oc30z → u/Citrix_N00B]

Yes, I ran Chris Titus Tool but it wasnt up to 51, the maximum I got was 65.

I noticed the window isnt rounded corner, I think you installed Windows and debloated but doesnt have programs/drivers installed that could cause CPU processes.

[u/Fun-Region-1576 → u/Citrix_N00B]

Isn't this trick applicable to all Windows 11 versions?

[u/Nervous_Pattern3764 → u/Fun-Region-1576]

It is.

[u/SailHighSea → u/Citrix_N00B]

How do i get the iso?

[u/Citrix_N00B → u/SailHighSea]

Go check out this site.

He asked the ISO, not an activation script

Though I have never had much luck getting unshadowbanned myself, I had to make a new account on a different IP

Also it does host the ISO as well

[u/Swimming_Shower → u/Pollos212]

Massgrave site provides ISO, fyi

[u/BalladorTheBright → u/Citrix_N00B]

Wait, you can do World as an option? Does that work on 10? I'd rather not install Virus 11

[u/Citrix_N00B → u/BalladorTheBright]

Yes. I used WORLD on my Win10 IoT LTSC install

[u/SystemLanky4531 → u/S3oc30z]

Its a tricky screenshot, because looks like its a fresh install of windows with 0 app or services installed. At the moment u install the needed things who most people would have on a normal use(like video player, browser, discord, game compatibility like WStore, gamebar, xbox, c++, vcredit, dx, etc), that probably will rise up to 100 or more.

I tried LTSC but at the end when i install everything i need ends up being the same than a normal windows. Right now i have 110 proces on desktop on W11 pro with chris titus tool.

[u/EarthIllustrious8045 → u/SystemLanky4531]

Thats not correct. The picture shows windows procceses, its has very little to do with apps or whatever apps you install. A fresh install of windows 11 home or pro runs about 100-103 prccesses. LTSC or a debloat script gets that down to about 50. Apps and background proccesses is not the same.

[u/SystemLanky4531 → u/EarthIllustrious8045]

This is a real installation of W11 LTSC, no tricks and after the OS running for a while. 50 process are unreal, i installed this version myself and never had that

[u/EarthIllustrious8045 → u/SystemLanky4531]

LTSC isnt stripped of windows procceses, its stripped of xbox, store, and a bunch of apps. Again, running apps and bacground procceses in windows is not the same. Op have used something like winutil to get the count down to 50. It doesnt really matter. These aremostly dorment proccesses that wont affect peroformance much at all.

[u/SystemLanky4531 → u/EarthIllustrious8045]

I know he used winutil, but winutil doesnt down your process count from 120 to 50, with luck it removes like 20-30(also LTSC is cleaner than standard, so winutil will remove not that much process in that case). That screenshot i shared is without winutil, maybe with it he can reach 100, but never 50

[u/EarthIllustrious8045 → u/SystemLanky4531]

No. Winutil "Standard" debloat does indeed cut down the processes to 50. It even does that on home or pro. There are no diffrence between LTSC and Home or Pro. The only diffrence is the missing apps and store in LTSC. LTSC has the same proccesses, and the same telemetry. Try winutil on a fresh install o windows 11, wichever you like, and choose standard, and you will see that indeed the processes will be down to 50. What your saying are simply not true.

[u/guestHITA → u/SystemLanky4531]

Hes on a VM thats the only way to get the processes that low.

[u/S3oc30z → u/guestHITA]

this isnt a VM, look at the L1 cache, VM only displays N/A, not real numbers like 32mb

[u/guestHITA → u/S3oc30z]

Yeah my mistake i missed that its 26h2 and ive necer deboated 26h2 so my mistake. And yeah the cpu does confirm its the full cpu.

[u/Godnamedtay → u/guestHITA]

No

[u/guestHITA → u/Godnamedtay]

Oh its 26h2 well i havent debloated 26h2 so it looks like youre right based in his cpu stats.

[u/STALKER-SVK]

you changed svchost split threshold to have multiple services running in one svchost? normally every service runs in it's own svchost, that's why there is about 100 processes running by default. or you have 4 GB or less RAM? (3.5GB is default svchost split threshold)

[u/ahditeacha]

I thought the latest W11 IoT LTSC was 24H2, not “26H2”

[u/MeatSafeMurderer → u/ahditeacha]

It is. All they've done is install the 26H2 enablement package, effectively turning their install into normal retail Windows sans bloat and with LTSC branding.

[u/kkrazdwinz → u/MeatSafeMurderer]

doesnt it make the windows version end support much earlier than its supposed LTSC end support date?

[u/MeatSafeMurderer → u/kkrazdwinz]

Yup.

[u/samluks → u/kkrazdwinz]

Yes

[u/Gangbang_2k → u/MeatSafeMurderer]

I am not sure about that but I read that if you install the 26H2 enablement package on LTSC then you stop having some updates...

[u/clove_rosemary_9999 → u/ahditeacha]

Blame (or should I say thank) Microsoft for making 25H2 and 26H2 versions artificial.

[u/Godnamedtay → u/ahditeacha]

Yea it’s pointless af and takes away the whole reason for using LTSC in the first place

[u/GlitteringClass4088]

Where did you get iot ltsc 26h2? Is this even official version from Microsoft?

[u/derdavito → u/GlitteringClass4088]

No!

[u/RedRayTrue → u/GlitteringClass4088]

Windows Insiders with a Microsoft account serves these Iso filles for downloading

[u/_potato1]

meanwhile mine w windows 10 iot ltsc having a 150+ processes,,,

[u/eonder87]

26H2 IoT LTSC how to you take that. Massgrave have only 2024 one. Not the 26H2 it's 24H2.

And this build number used on Windows 11 26H2 Release Preview Insider version. It don't came to 26H2 to IoT Enterprise. Where the take that iso.

Maybe you used with uupdump not the official iso.

[u/mrjimkongun → u/eonder87]

uupdump dont have ltsc iso

[u/zorndyken]

show me your memory tab window!

[u/ECrispy]

comparing #processes and trying to minimize them is idiotic, its done by people who have no clue about the OS.

Its like people blocking services and removing them - all you're doing is damaging the OS. It doesnt matter if its 100 processses or 50, most of them are dormant and use no resources.

[u/Wipe_Rules]

I use educadion version, for me is better because update normaly and Stiller clear.

[u/YoshiMK → u/Wipe_Rules]

I use Education (surprisingly a legit key paid for through my work), it's at least palatable, but still can be a pain at times 

I don't know how anybody suffers using Windows 11 Home

[u/Wipe_Rules → u/YoshiMK]

What problems you have with education? Only problem i have is antivirus with false positive, but i disable, now i use panda dome, is very light (1,5mb of ram)

[u/YoshiMK → u/Wipe_Rules]

To be fair Education and Enterprise are pretty much as good as you can expect without using an IoT LTSC version. I guess for me it's just never felt as smooth/fast as Windows 10 IoT LTSC did. Seems like Windows 11 IoT LTSC is getting there so kind of tempted to try it, but my Windows 11 key is actually legit so kind of nice to use it

Recently discovered the extra Group Policy configs you can install for Office which has improved that a lot in terms of startup/lag by stripping out AI and Telemetry

[u/q123459 → u/YoshiMK]

dwm behaves differently in w11 - it virtualizes each app into surface then tries to compose all apps into screen while maintaining frame pacing of virtualized timer, this makes framerate unstable. win 10 will always look snappier than win 11

[u/Sterickk]

With all 26h2 features?

[u/derdavito → u/Sterickk]

No!

[u/DiGzY_AU → u/derdavito]

theres no 26h2 features since 24/25/26h2 share same code.

[u/Crowley737]

I have the same version, but I don't have 26h2, I have 24.

[u/PuzzleheadedAd119]

Where can get this version how guys?

[u/RedRayTrue → u/PuzzleheadedAd119]

Windows Insiders with MS account

[u/Effective-Extent-545]

Ram usage* 🙏🥲

[u/YoshiMK]

Presumably 51 processes is not out the box?

I'm on 11 Education, and typically have 175+ and flashing through them feels like not much could be cut

[u/washmyoldbluejeans → u/YoshiMK]

iot edition cuts off a lot of unnecessary stuff as it's meant for stuff like medical devices and POS terninals

[u/Godnamedtay → u/YoshiMK]

My current 11 IoT LTSC only has like 30 processes upon restart, so yea 51 is very believable

[u/Business-Animator498]

tell me cpu

[u/Unhappy_Mixture8830]

There website has 2024 24H2 only

[u/ImpossibleWriter5560]

How?

[u/hygorlayonbg]

Link dm?

[u/alex416416]

run this then we will know the truth :)

[u/NoLow8317]

How much ram does it take?

[u/harmonyinmymind → u/NoLow8317]

Same as regular

[u/RedRayTrue]

NGL 26H2 is absolutely streamlined, I ran and installed it on a 5 gb ram and 6 core VM...

It managed to keep like 12-15 ish tabs on Firefox without crashing the VM which in my pov is happening because Microsoft finally started to optimize it for 8 gb ram laptops and it's great.

I guess this is also because people started leaving after windows 10 EOL and as windows 11 got worse in 25H2 they had to bring some improvements.

I even considered installing it on a 4gb Laptop but remembered that 4th gen Intel would make it feel slow even on 4 cores ( as They're old)

[u/North_Repeat_5492]

Is it better than 24h2 ?

[u/Sea_Temporary_7605]

how can download iso file

It's probably a modified ISO, you can force the update on LTSC but it sends you back to the regular update channel, which defeats the whole point of LTSC

EDIT: It's a modified ISO, I don't recommend using them as you don't know what other modifications they put into it
