Could be, but even after a direct copy from my desktop to the local machine, something breaks it. I'm wondering if there is some kind of file permission error somehow causing it to work.

Possibly, could be the same for the Unreal game (A Hat in Time) Does anyone know why this works??

Alright, I'm in a certain situation here. Playing the games locally on the machine using it's steam will result in crashes in almost every game. Playing the game over an SMB share of my Windows 7 desktop's steam library does not result in this. Trying this method caused Terraria to start working.

I would assume that something that does what MS says it does (Get display information) would be a suitable replacement. Seems like this call is pretty important for the program to even run. The Among Us error may be something with Unity... but Unity on Oxygen Not Included runs and launches fine. I can say that the latest version of osu! runs fine. Only needs .NET 4.0 minimum. Correction: I have no idea what I did the first time, but all the Unity based games aren't loading anymore. They loaded before!!!

Have not tried it in that mode. But other than that, Wallpaper Engine now has that last DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo error. I would assume it may be just some information polling of the display / GPU?

Replaced that and it brought me to an error saying "Failed to load il2cpp" Currently, our dependency problems are: SetThreadErrorMode DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo Any idea where these can go?

Made a comment over here about game support and was wondering the best way to fix these issues for people who are looking for a fix.

I went through my Steam library to find out what games work, what don't. Tried this on VMWare so they may all not work. (BEFORE EX KERNEL) Among Us: GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx could not be located in Kernel32.DLL. May be a 32 bit issue. BeamNG: PowerClearRequest could not be located in Kernel32.DLL. Not a 32 bit issue. Cities:Skylines: Launched then closed. No logs. Not a 32 bit issue. Game Dev Tycoon: Works Garrys Mod: TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive not found in kernel32.dll. Possibly a 32 bit issue. GeometryDash: App failed to init properly (0xc0150002) A Hat in Time: Loads but stops working when loading saves Kerbal Space Program: Failed to load mono OxygenNotIncluded: GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx not found in KERNEL32.DLL Phasmophobia: GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx not found in KERNEL32.DLL Terraria: Terraria has stopped working Wallpaper Engine: SetThreadErrorMode was not found in KERNEL32.DLL, there is a 64 bit version which has same error (AFTER EX KERNEL ON REAL PC) Among Us: Same error, 32 bit issue BeamNG: Launches but black screen Cities:Skylines: Same problem Garrys Mod: Works GeometryDash: Same error A Hat in Time: Kerbal Space Program: Works Oxygen Not Included: Closes after Klei logo Phasmophobia: Works Wallpaper Engine: Said that 7+ was recommended, still let me run. Then we got DisplayConfigGetDeviceINfo could not be located in USER32.DLL

You can only enable it on 1507 and 1511. 1607 removed it.

Also, I think you can add this feature back when you enable the win32 calendar in the settings. Ill test and see if it does.

I have this as well.

Late. Came across a HAM Radio receiver and wanted to check it out and hear some. Couldn't hear anything local near me. Only thing I have a chance at hearing is the ISS. HAM Radio doesn't seem as popular as it used to be.

They could also not be finalized yet, could just be a development scheme.

I would assume that the more angry beeps are for critical error. Anything else I would put in asterisk and exclamation. Those two use Windows Background on 10, while critical error uses Windows Foreground.

I would say the sinking ship is because of the horrible UI choices. Windows 10 deep down at the core (kernel) is miles ahead of Windows 7.

I have used to use it because "Its Windows 7!" but now im transitioning myself over into not caring what im using. It's Windows 10 and it works for what I do, even though its not my preference.

I have an OMV i5 3570K system that I could use this on. Create a QEMU VM on that PC, passthrough a GPU, USB card and have it share the ethernet of the main system. After doing that I could just hook up the KVM and it would "act" like a physical system even though its actually a virtual machine, so I can still keep that system acting like a NAS. Is there any KVM that can handle 3x monitors possibly?

Possibly, my PC is really new for Vista and older (for some reason it ran fine on Vista when I tried it though, never had any timing or logon errors even after multiple reboots). I can probably do a KVM setup like you said, so I can have my main PC running Windows 10 Enterprise (Probably the previous H2 release for stability. Currently its Windows 10 1803 Enterprise and Windows 7 in a dual boot). Once 1803 goes EOL, I'm going to move that to 1909 Enterprise and get 1 more year of support. This means I only have to update once a year, or go to the latest H2 release and update once every two years.

I did try out Windows 10X in a virtual machine and what I got out of it was most of it was mainly UI changes. It was pretty nice having the UI being a little simpler and more rounded off as well as legacy win32 functions and menus FINALLY being changed or moved somewhere else. The action center is really nice for quick settings changes (so much better than the disaster of the Windows 10 one) and the icons I believe are better fit and updated. The way that the drives are sorted are better as well, kind of. What is a little concerning is where customization is. There aren't much built in (other than light or dark theme) and you really are kind of forced to use the UI that you are given, except for the rumor of two start menus in 21H2. Still too early to get the desktop experience but if I was to hope, it seems like its a similar development track like the differences between XP and Vista, but so far without a reset. Seeing a lot of Windows functions changing over time and menus getting reworked, as well as a fair amount of core experiences changing too. Really feels like an actual "Technical Preview" hype now. They are definitely inspired by the work that Apple put towards Big Sur as I said. They are envious of their ecosystem, the simple updates, fast adoption rates and proprietary software. I will definitely say there will be people who think that 21H2 is not going to be a good change, but there will also be people who think otherwise. With how Windows 10X looks, this new update could just be a similar difference between Windows 8.0 and 8.1, minor UI changes but overall useful for the design of the OS. Windows 10 has barely changed over the last 5 years which is why I have hope that this update will help with the UI experience. This is just my opinion and first thoughts about it though, it would be interesting to see how other users here feel about the change, since it is hopefully going to be one of the largest feature updates since the RTM release. We have roughly 8 months until the estimated release, and as I said around 4 months until the first insider previews, but we'll see. The new window animations from opening + closing in the latest insider looks really sleek. Still won't change the fact that UWP is a failing project.

Sun Valley is the codename of the 21H2 release of Windows 10 and it seems like it is going to be a fairly big release considering they are pushing the release around 18 months after the last major release, 20H1. 20H2 and 21H1 will be minor enablement packages as well, which gives MS more time to develop for 21H2. If MSFT can make enablement packages more feature inclusive and less intrusive, that would be a big step in having to "reinstall" our operating system every time there is a major release, unlike our 5 year old installs of Windows XP, Vista and 7 from back in the day. Making feature updates optional was a good first step. According to many sources Microsoft made a job posting back in January looking for Windows Core User Experience team members, which from what I believe is enhancing legacy apps and mainly the Windows 10 UI, one of the most criticized modules of Windows 10. We can see that they are re-designing many legacy functions that have not changed since the RTM release or older. The new UI style seems to take a lot of notes from Apple's book with their release of macOS Big Sur. If I was to assume, Windows 10 would sort of look like a modernized Windows Vista and 7. I read that Microsoft is also making two start menu styles, the classic 20H2 one and a more modern and redesigned one. They also claimed that "Windows is BACK" not really meaning much I suppose. My opinions? If Microsoft can fix the legacy components of the UI and actually make it less intrusive and more flexible towards the user, it would really help. As well as the major amount of unknown bugs and confusing decisions. I really hope the UWP Settings gets changed too. I do miss the classic Keyboard and Mouse type of design last used in Windows 7 but I also do hope that they can keep those users in mind. I heard from a source that power users will be able to uninstall / remove / disable more Windows 10 apps and features, making it a leaner and faster OS. Basically, I really hope that Sun Valley, which seems to be a pretty large release, will become notable in fixing Windows 10. Not betting on it though, it could be a flop and we are left with the same unusable Windows 10. What do you think on the changes? It is too early to make major assumptions without any builds available that include the new UI as well as us being around 4 months until we get there hopefully. Do you think that MSFT saying that "Windows is back" really means anything?

Well I could use XP and Vista on more compatible hardware (I have a 3rd gen i5 system and laptop) so I think a 3060 Ti would work well for me because its the best value for what it is. I don't necissarily need the latest and greatest, so I could get a 1080 Ti but the 3060 Ti would also be a better deal, but using the 1080 Ti or 2060 would give me 8.1 support.

The thing is, for the same price but also getting rid of XP and Vista support I could snatch up an RTX 3060 Ti and be more powerful than a 2080 Ti, but I also don't necessarily need that, but it would also be a good amount of futureproofing. Wondering if it's worth getting the older gen card or not.

Is there a download for this available? I'm testing it out in a VM.

So I am currently rocking a 1050 Ti and I am looking for a new GPU. I wish for my hardware to at least RUN on XP or Vista (so definitely 10 series nvidia) so I was wondering how the 1080 / 1080 Ti performs on XP, Vista, and 7. I just want the ability in the future for those choices. Figured this would work best here in the Windows 7 part because its basically mostly NT 6.x.

Confused. Found out that almost half the internet is running Server 2012 R2 and older.
