Windows 10 Ltsb Optimise
Sep 24, 2018 Windows 10 offers two peer-to-peer options for update content distribution: Delivery Optimization and BranchCache. These technologies can be used with several of the servicing tools for Windows 10. Two methods of peer-to-peer content distribution are available in Windows 10. This article lists new and updated features and content that are of interest to IT Pros for Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, compared to Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC (LTSB). For a brief description of the LTSC servicing channel and associated support, see Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. Another gotcha that seems to have caught some netbook users of Windows 10 is the screen resolution. Some Windows Store apps will refuse to run on the devices with low resolutions - such as the original HP Mini 110's 1024 x 576 display. However Windows 10 does support the 1024 x 600 displays found on many netbooks.
So gang, I need your help. I've been digging all over the internet and found various posts regarding using Get-AppxPackage, Get-AppxProvisionedPackage and such to remove apps, but there are some that just will not go away.
I even tried ripping out everything Metro other than the store, and on logging back in it immediately started redownloading MSN Weather, Photos, and Twitter. The Minecraft Beta link won't go away, the Flipboard link won't go away, other apps like Money, News and such even though the packages have been removed their tiles stay on the start menu.
This is completely insane how difficult making a clean Win10 for Enterprise use is. Do you guys have any tips for me?
EDIT: Wow, this blew up more than I expected it to. LOTS of great tips in the comments, so I want to thank everyone for their input on this. I'm glad it wasn't just me finding frustration in this!
If you have Windows 10 in a VDI environment you know the pains of trying to disable all of the junk you don’t want running that is just wasting CPUMEM and increasing logon times. You can run the Optimization Tool but it can be finicky with disabling those pesky windows 10 features.
I began experimenting with the LTSB image to combat some of this a while back and had great success because pretty much all of the stuff you want to disable in a VDI environment with Windows 10 desktops is already removed from the LTSB image. I generally try to stick to to the support matrix of any vendor I use, however if I need to I will leave that behind and did when it came to this.
Windows 10 Ltsb Version
Microsoft has said the LTSB image is not for users, it is for appliances and hardware and shouldn’t be used in the case.
VMware didn’t even support this image at the time and probably still don’t.
However if you don’t mind being responsible for this piece of the infrastructure I have had great luck with it. The LTSB image uses less resources and boots faster than the Windows 10 Enterprise Image.
