    ie, strictly my opinion, but if "we" are going to question the upgrade path and if MSFN is going to "cast aspersions" on said upgrade path, then the same aspersions should be cast to ANY-AND-ALL of the *MANY* XP users here that use POSReady 2009 **ILLEGALLY**. Just my two cents.

    Neither does "real" LTSC. So that is not one of the differences between "IoT" and "real". I personnaly view *embedded* (be it any of them between NT and 10!) [and ALL of our "POSReady" MSFN members!] being ran on any HOME PC as ILLEGAL and a violation of "terms of service". We (our company) use them on "robot controllers" so I'm 'kind of' familiar with their "terms of service", but half that stuff is NOT written for "me", it's there for our company legal department. But "what do I know"... Let's bring in a MICROSOFT LAWYER to discuss (any lawyer, for that matter).

    Next, if the driver doesn't solve it for you, I would suspect *AI* and/or *TELEMETRY* BS trying to "copy" (ie, Ctrl+C) anything and everything that you are doing !!!

    Me personally, I would use the Windows 10 USB/HID driver on the Windows 11 installation. No guarantee, but my hunch is that solves it. At bare minimum, can you at least tell us the driver DETAILS that are being used in each installation? This ( https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/drivergrabber.html ) should be able to "copy" the Win10 driver so that you can install it on Win11. You will (from memory, so I'm depending on you to do some of the legwork) have to edit an .ini or setting somewhere to make sure it copies "Microsoft" drivers.

    MSFN was not his only active forum under the same name. He hasn't visited those forums since November of 2023.

    Asking AI suggests there should not be a difference. But there really is! No clue why. I've been trying to track that down ever since 360Chrome did that first-launch-lag in XP x64. It really is a matter of FORTY SECONDS verus ONE SECOND. But again, no clue why, been trying to track that down for YEARS. I *was* willing to accept it being "just my hardware", but I have confirmed the same exact behavior on two different machines (10yr old Dell Latitude E5470 and 1.5yr old HP Ultra 7 265). Will perform on a 10yr old Dell XPS 8700 in the next week or so.

    Definitely have to disagree. Sure, it was possible that my observation on one machine would not carry over to other hardware, ie, a statistical outlier. But I have now observed on TWO DIFFERENT machines (will perform on a THIRD within the next week or so) that Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/360Chrome *FIRST LAUNCH AFTER REBOOT* takes FORTY-PLUS seconds in LTSB 2016 but only takes ONE second in LTSB 2021. All things identical except from the OS. I acknowledge that this is "probably" only a Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/360Chrome issue, but it occurs in ALL OF THEM and behaves identically across the board all dependent on a 2016 OS versus a 2021 OS. For me, sorry, it is NOT tied to hardware. All hardware between both installs were on the same exact machine (two of them, a third in the queue).

    No clue from me. I technically never heard of "IoT" until this thread. I run LTSC (and LTSB, both from work) and it doesn't show "IoT" anywhere. The "IoT" shows it as in "Notification Mode", something else I've never heard of. It's just inside a VM for me, just for the sake of this thread. I'm not going to "activate" it out of fear even attempting to do so would "break" my company-provided activation (which also requires our company VPN). But I guess my thoughts would be this: if this "IoT" upgrade path is questionable (it probably is, no clue myself), it's probably no different than the "upgrade path" to XP's POSReady 2009. Something I myself see as ILLEGAL and never ran on any of my XP machines.

    Stick your head in the sand. My head is held high. You are an arrogant a ss. I have no fear in saying so. Try to ban me if you think this is all "just me". Multiple members see you as an arrogant a ss. I'm just "don't care" enough to be the one to tell you. Call it "only me" all you want. The rest of us all know the reality outside of your own head. But yeah, we've carried on enough and we've both said our piece. But one last item, speaking solely as me, YOU ARE AN ARROGANT A SS that LOVES to hear himself talk. Hey, what can I say, "it takes one to know one", because I can say (and have had others say) the same about me. DON'T CARE.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    DITTO
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not really. You really don't have the impression on other members that your ego thinks that you do. Sorry, you just don't! Trust me on this, MULTIPLE members here do NOT like your egotistic all-knowing always-right personality. Take that as CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and "adjust accordingly". Or keep replying the way you have been and REINFORCE the view that MULTIPLE members have of you. No skin off my back either way. edit: of course, having said that, I myself also RESPECT the paradigm of "I change for no man, live with it, I don't care what you think of me." so I guess you can strive for MY respect, or the respect of the MULTIPLE members that don't like the all-knowing always-right everybody-loves-to-hear-me-speak personality. again, no skin off my back either way. and trust me on this, speaking for ME and "your view of me" -- *I change for no man*

    Rhetorical question. I'll not bother reading the reply.
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    I have NO CLUE what that means. I do not have an Android device to know if those versions are new or old or how old. Shall I explain that to you in more detail?
  17. NotHereToPlayGames
    <redacted>, you egomaniac! It gets old reading your high sense of self-worth. And I know for a fact that many others on the forum think the same. I simply stated that not all of us have a MODERN DEVICE to fall back on. I could care less if you have the oldest XP computer, no one else cares either. Carry on, wayward son.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not all of us have Anroid devices as a backup. Some of us truly rely on "ancient hardware".

    There are things like this (theoretically) - https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser BUT... you are asking as an XP user. So my answer to you remains, "No, protest to the server owner". edit: but these technically are not OLD ENOUGH to *NOT* pass Cloudflare *without* the "bot protections" (with the exception of the Linux-only v142). So ONLY TIME WILL TELL if these are truly effective. I will know in about a month when (or if) my city utilities billpay FAILS to work in EDGE but then "if" this fork WORKS. Personally, I'm not holding my breath!
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Unfortunately NO. You would have to contact the owner of the server hosting the web site. Maybe if you get THOUSANDS of users of that web site to protest, you could get the owner to remove it. But I do assure you, the owner implemented it for a reason. All SERVER-SIDE reasons.
  21. NotHereToPlayGames
    Tracked down the culprit on my end. I use an "Audio Compressor" extension (prevents LOUD spikes in audio) and that extension does not work with the audio on that video. First I've ever encountered that. Odd...

    Funny thing about X-Lite and forum SPAM we used to get here at MSFN. There was a day, maybe even three in a row, that we were hit with a HUNDRED-PLUS (*not* an exaggeration!) of INTUIT QUICKBOOKS spam. All HUNDRED-PLUS inside of a few MINUTES. Our moderators were on top of it and cleaned it up quickly. And forum software was updated to prevent it from happening again. But it was actually an INTUIT PRODUCT (ie, TurboTax) that FORCED ME into running an X-Lite trial just so that I could FILE MY TAXES. Despite *hating* X-Lite punching me in the face with an unsolicited purchase request (for a product here at MSFN!), it did reveal to me that 10 and 11 *CAN* be a GREAT OS !!! *ALL* of the "Long Live <old OS>" folks we have here at MSFN really are better served if they can ditch that DEATH SPIRAL mentality (of which also "trapped me" for years).
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Definitely! I can't get that video to play in Chrome v144, Chromium v144, or Edge v149. Finding it very funny that we have found something that works in a Firefox Fork but does not work in Chromium.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    For my "old" Chrome and Chromium v144, the video only plays if MUTED. Any volume increment above MUTE causes the video to stop playing. I did not try in Edge (the only browser that I keep on the most-recent version).
  25. NotHereToPlayGames
    Same EXACT hardware! FIRST LOAD AFTER STARTUP on LTSC 2021: Sure, that FIRST LOAD "takes longer", but who complains about a 1-second load time when previous versions of Win10 took FORTY SECONDS ??? It all boils down to how NEWER versions of Windows allocate large .dll's into RAM. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME on anything older than 21H2. Trust me, I get it, all we get around here is "Long Live XP" and "Long Live 7" and "Long Live Vista" - don't be fooled! "Fairly recent" versions of Win10, you don't need to be "cutting edge", really are far superior. But yeah, it takes some debloating. BUT SO DOES XP, 7, AND VISTA!
