Even if I wanted to play Windows 10 only game, I would not switch my 8.1 for it. I would create dualboot.

Yeah that happened to me too. I think You should dualboot Windows 7 for now. I know it sucks, but it is the only option.

I have october updates, and printing seems to work okay with office 2019, printing from web etc..

I thought you can only address 3.5gb of ram on 32bit oses?

32bit vista with 4gb of ram? why?

My vista boots in like 20 seconds with extended kernel and all updates. Windows 7 takes about 25 seconds. Windows 8.1 with fast boot enabled around 6-8 seconds.

I use Vista on my Dell latitude e6330 with these specs: Intel Core I5-3340M 8gb ram 480gb ssd from corsair Intel hd graphics I use vista just because of nostalgia. I used it as my main os since 2008-2013. Before I start with my complaints I really need to clarify, that I love Vista so much, but there are things that are just straight up bad. Vista’s disk trashing is first and the most annoying thing on the planet. Vista seems to access the disk and make unnecessary i/o operations. I have no idea what is it doing (Windows Update is turned off as well system protection, background programs). Next annoying thing is delay after boot up. After welcome screen, I have to wait another 30-40 seconds on ssd mind you, just so I can open web browser. In that 30-40 second time window, Disk is not being accessed nor any program is doing anything. I have installed vista countless times and this is an issue. And finally fps in direct x 9/11. Windows 7/8.1 are always better in gaming by around 10%. Yeah that is probably lack of optimization for Vista, but still it is an issue. Ram usage on vista is higher on clean install than on 8.1. I’m surprised that windows 7/8.1 were slower on your pc. Almost every computer I’ve tried was just as fast or faster in some instances on newer os. Like I said in the beginning, I love Vista, I will still use it and enjoy it, but it can be better.

Yeah I already tried everything, even manually adding these missing files, but unfortunately it does not work. BEX64 error appears.

Well back in 2013 I absolutely hated that os. It was weird for me at the time. Windows 8.1 improved the metro ui, added start button and for me at least improved my pc performance (especially ssd io). Telemetry can be removed, so that’s why I asked that very question. I absolutely don’t want to make anyone angry or anything, just being curious.

I seriously do not understand why they f****** did this. Just why?? I hate modern software companies nowadays. Everything is a f****** expensive subscription, new operating systems are pieces of junk trying to spy on you whilst looking ugly. Back to my point, why would virtualization software check if I had patched my uxtheme to sideload a new theme for example? Unbelievable! Their explanation:

you made it with nativefier (I don’ know precisely how it is written) right? Because I did it too and screen share is a no go. I have to use web version instead.

Are you using extended kernel by any chance?

Because until @win32 will implement changes to 32bit kernel32 there is no way how to play roblox. Maybe virtualization? or dualboot? just don’t use Windows 10

Still no solution. I only got one game to “launch” but then it crashes. I’m starting to lose all hope..

I have nothing against it, but for my use it is far from ideal. Also I might be the only one who hates the "90's" look

Yeah, but I miss screensharing. Thankfully web version does offer that

Discord is 32bit afaik

You're right. I'm only able to use teams when I have usb microphone attached. Anyway I updated to the newest version and now Teams no longer detect even the usb mic. if you will be using some other windows alongside Vista, Please consider 7/8.1. Don't feed Windows 10 marketshare.

Wait that’s weird. In my case teams is running just fine. I can see all my input and output devices.

Yes this is the only problem, but the game is trying to pass this function to user32.dll. Windows 8.1 stores it in Shcore.dll thus the app still crashes.

I've downloaded Teardown today and I was greeted to this: https://prnt.sc/v9fucb Can I do something with this or is it w10 only? (despite stating Windows 7 in os list) Edit: They changed Windows 7 to Windows 10 after someone has already complained. What a dick move!

Microsoft Teams works with the extended kernel. You just need to to extract it with 7zip.

Don't want to sound rude or anything, but why you don't want to switch to 8.1? I think the're the same os, but 8.1 has start button

I finally got to reinstalling my Vista copy. Something broke during my extended kernel testing and my installation is really unstable. My questions are: 1) How to update vista up until the EOL (2017) (Most preferably automatically so I don't have to click on 100 msu files) 2) I've seen a lot of complaints about .net. Is it working fine without WU servers? 3) What browser is most functional on Vista with extended kernel? (chrome 86/Firefox etc..)

This does not work since october or november (can't tell exactly) 2019.
