I don't use hybrid shutdown or hibernating, and I didn't encounter the problem in Windows 10 21H2. But it seems that installing different NVIDIA driver is helpful in Windows 11 when GPU temperature disappears. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/gpu-temperature-suddenly-missing-in-windows-11-task-manager-performance-left-side/587896

KB5000812 is the final security update for 1703 on Surface Hub, and MS released it on March 9, 2021. But you still can get other updates from WU.

You can check the end of servicing dates first. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information

I don't understand why 21H2 ISO file offers incomplete Japanese IME. Anyway, the Japanese IME in 1607 ISO is compatible with version 21H2. Unlike version 1607, I can't stop BITS and WU from re-enabling by using Microsoft Management Console.

Latest CU KB5023697 removes support for Home edition, so it's time to upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

Intel Xeon E 2300 series processors support SGX with SPS, but SPS does not provide PAVP. Tiger Lake-B desktop processors may support SGX with ME, but BIOS files for 500 series chipsets do not support SGX. Besides, ME firmware 15.0.10 and later removed iCLS and tcb. So Intel NUC 11 Extreme can't support UHDBD playback.

Starting with v5.5.2.1, the ITE Tech CIR driver pack removes old drivers so it is no longer compatible with 1607.

If your desktop computer supports NVMe M.2 SSD, you don't need dual channel memory.

Starting with 22.160.0, the Wi-Fi driver for AX201 no longer works in 1607. I've tried 22.160.0 and 22.170.0, but Device Manager reported error code 39.

OS and driver are different, so the solution will be different.

Just use WinDbg.

Unlike 20 series and 16 series, you've proved that 30 series require version 1803 instead of 1709. By starting kernel mode debugging, you can find the hex value and create your solution.

You have to debug the graphics driver and find out your answer. All I can say is that it is not as difficult as you think.

If you want to install DCH driver on 1709, just modify the INF file.

If you can debug graphics driver, it is possible to solve the problem by modifying the driver. However, updating Windows to version 1709 or later is a better solution. https://msfn.org/board/topic/179590-nvidia-geforce-rtx-error-code-43-on-windows-10-version-1607/

Intel SGX PSW 2.16.100.3 removes support for RS2 and before, so 2.15.100.4 is the last release that supports 1607. Besides, Intel Management Engine Drivers 2141.15.0.2511 is the last release that supports 1607, because 2216.16.0.2805 also removes support for RS2 and before. Therefore, Intel Lunar Lake processors only support PAVP on RS3 and above. Intel SGX Driver for Windows v2.15.100.4 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/683952/intel-software-guard-extensions-intel-sgx-driver-and-data-center-attestation-primitives-intel-sgx-dcap.html Intel Management Engine Drivers v2141.15.0.2511 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/682431/682437/intel-management-engine-drivers-for-windows-10-and-windows-11.html Bluetooth driver 22.130.0 and 22.140.0 trigger error code 37 on 1607. Fortunately, new Intel Graphics drivers such as 30.0.101.1191 fixed DirectX 12 support issue on 1607, but it seems that 30.0.101.1340 and 30.0.101.1404 have refresh rate and audio problems with PowerDVD 20.

If you can't install any CU on 21H2, you should try to find out the incompatible driver or hardware. If you can install old CU on 21H2, but you can't install KB5013942 because it rolls back, you can try KB5015020, which replaces KB5013942.

KB5013624 is not CU. Did you install any CU successfully on 21H2 before installing KB5013952? When WU is stuck at specific percentage, it will be helpful if you can describe the installation percentage. If you are using incompatible driver or hardware, you may install the OS, but WU will fail with rollback.

Did you try installing KB5015020 instead of CU KB5013942?

I updated to 512.78. The DCH display driver package contains NVIDIA Control Panel application. To launch DCH version of NVIDIA Control Panel for the first time, Internet connection is required, and WU, Windows License Manager Service, and Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant should be enabled. I don't know how to install standard NVIDIA Control Panel and Container along with DCH display driver. The standard NVIDIA Control Panel is still compatible with DCH driver, so users of non-DCH driver can launch standard NVIDIA Control Panel from Windows Control Panel.

Starting from R495, NVIDIA no longer provides non-DCH drivers. The minimum version supported is 1607.

The list of recently installed drivers. BIOS Update [FNCML357] (FN0053) Intel RST driver (18.1.6.1039) Intel Graphics DCH drivers (27.20.100.9466) Intel Network Adapter driver for Windows 10 (25.2) Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver for Windows 10 (22.70.2) Windows 10 Wi-Fi drivers for Intel Wireless Adapters (22.70.0) ITE Tech CIR driver for Windows 10 64-bit for NUC 10 Kit (5.4.5.0) USB Type C Power Delivery Controller for Windows 10 64-bit for NUC (1.0.9.7) Genesys Card Reader Driver for Windows 10 64-bit for NUC 10 Kit (1.1.14.0) Realtek HDA driver for Windows 10 64-bit for NUC Kit (6.0.8950.1) Thunderbolt 3 Legacy driver for Windows 10 for NUC (17.4.77.400) Intel SGX driver for Windows (2.13.100.2) Chipset INF Utility (10.1.18383.8213) Intel Serial IO driver for NUC (30.100.1947.3) Intel Management Engine Interface driver (1937.14.0.1350, for DELL Vostro 3590) Intel RST driver 18.x requires version 1703 or later, so I modified the INF files. 18.0.1.1138 may prevent Bluetooth driver from loading. Intel Graphics driver 27.20.100.9664 and later no longer support DirectX 12 on 1607. Besides, 27.20.100.9415 has laggy UHD Blu-ray playback issues. (27.20.100.9664 still supports DirectX 12 on 1709) I can enable Thunderbolt port by disabling VT-d in BIOS. Although it is possible to install Thunderbolt 3 DCH driver with modified INF files and update the firmware to version 62, Thunderbolt service is unavailable because 1607 does not support extension INF. After uninstalling the DCH driver, registry cleanup is required before installing Thunderbolt 3 Legacy driver, so I don't recommend installing the DCH driver. https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-NUCs/NUC8i7BEH-BIOS-version-0083-and-eGPU-issues-and-a-workaround/td-p/1201583/page/2?profile.language=en https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/kernel-dma-protection-for-thunderbolt

The Steam patch of NieR:Automata released on July 15 supports Windows 10 and Windows 7/8.1. But 1607 is not compatible with the Windows 10 game patch and gets stuck on a black window, so I have to run Windows 7/8.1 version. PSO2 New Genesis benchmark and FFXIV: Endwalker benchmark work on 1607. Besides, Windows cumulative update removes Flash Player and its control panel from 1607.

I am using inbox VGA driver. I tried VBEMP and the SVGA driver few years ago. I need to open MS-DOS command prompt window, so VBEMP is not a perfect solution. Unfortunately, the SVGA driver from Windows 3.1 results in graphical glitches because the OS is Traditional Chinese version. If I have different motherboard, maybe I can run the emulator at SVGA mode with Integrated Radeon R7, but it is not my purpose.

I tried to compare GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and Radeon R7 Graphics again by running DOS version of Zsnes. Integrated Radeon R7 supports VESA2. It also supports VGA, SVGA (crashing), and SXGA (supported legacy video modes). GeForce GTX 1660 Ti can't initialize VESA2. It supports SXGA (HDMI) and QHD (Displayport). I can open MS-DOS command prompt in full-screen mode, but the workaround does not always work.
