Unfortunately your theme didn't work for me. Looks the same as the Vista default one. The package contains aero-black.theme and Aero (not Aero-black) folder so perhaps you uploaded vanilla one by accident

Automatic file permissions repairing .bat If you go for manual installation of the extended kernel you will have to fix file permissions for all files you have replaced. Now, instead of doing this manually, you can run the following .bat: October 2022 x64: october2022_x64_extended_kernel_set_permission.bat I may do .bats for newer versions too if errors in March 2023 builds get fixed. special thanks to @Bizzbob for figuring out language-neutral account names

You need to apply patches by @smeezekitty 32-bit 64-bit If you have extended kernel installed, use powrprof.dll from the extended kernel instead of the patched one.

Windows 8.1 Intel UHD 630 Display Drivers on Coffee Lake?
TSNH replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 8
Apparently someone has modified those drivers for Windows 7 and the are supposed to work on 8.1 too. https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/intel-uhd-graphics-630-video-driver-for-win7-x64/33098/353?u=moline I know nothing about them so use on your own risk. -
Future of Chromium on older Windows 10 versions and RTM.
TSNH replied to Dixel's topic in Windows 10
Since Windows 8.0 .NET Framework are being installed using Windows Update .cab packages which are designed for specific OS builds and not build-neutral .msi installers. So it's kind of like with Windows 8.0 (both did't receive any update past 4.6.2) except that 8.0 had a Server equivalent with the same build number while 1511 does not. If you know how to install Windows updates on Windows version with different build numbers then please let me know, that would be a huge breakthrough! EDIT: Apparently this has already been achieved -
Future of Chromium on older Windows 10 versions and RTM.
TSNH replied to Dixel's topic in Windows 10
No, more like 1-3%. I remember I've had a similar problem with a fresh Windows 8 installation where after like 5 minutes of idle time the "system" process would use 30% of CPU until you click a mouse button or do just about anything. It stopped the next day, so likely some kind of post-installation schedule thing. -
Future of Chromium on older Windows 10 versions and RTM.
TSNH replied to Dixel's topic in Windows 10
Basically these are the key differences: Advantages of 1511 over 1607: Arguably better start menu layout and cortana in start menu search can be easly disabled Less strict driver signing requirements https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Hardware-Certification/Driver-Signing-changes-in-Windows-10-version-1607/ba-p/364894 so it should be easier to mod new nvidia drivers for this version. According to this article if you have disabled Secure Boot you are unaffected Disadvantages: No LTSB version .NET Framework 4 is limited to 4.6.2. Most developers have already moved to .NET 5+ versions which do work. I haven't done any performance tests -

Version 119 still works on Threshold 2 (1511) is it is and can be modded to work on 1507 -
Disable Spectre/Meltdown protection for a 4% performance boost
TSNH replied to NotHereToPlayGames's topic in Windows 10
Yes, It looks like it can be easily patched for 1507 too (idk for how long as this post was about 118) -
Disable Spectre/Meltdown protection for a 4% performance boost
TSNH replied to NotHereToPlayGames's topic in Windows 10
I also don't install those Windows Update updates, maybe I used a wrong terminology but 1511 is to 1507 what 8.1 is to 8.0, just with much less changes -
Disable Spectre/Meltdown protection for a 4% performance boost
TSNH replied to NotHereToPlayGames's topic in Windows 10
1511 was a minor update to 1507 (not beta) and that's what I have available right now. I guess it introduced that one function needed for Chromium. While the chromium team is then inconsequential in supporting all Windows 10 (supported by MS) versions, at least they have Server 2016 specifically listed on the website with no deprecation date scheduled. OP's preferred version was 1607 (same as Server 2016). -

TSNH replied to NotHereToPlayGames's topic in Windows 10
Chromium 119 still works on Threshold2 (1511) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2015 based on the original RTM of Windows 10 is going to be supported till October 2025 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-2015-ltsb So if the chromium devs keep supporting what M$ does, then you have 2 another years. And also it doesn't look like they are going to drop Server 2016 very soon https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7100626?hl=en -
Insert some other title CD-ROM in A: - what?
TSNH replied to e5frog's topic in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition
No it's another name for x64 architecture which was first created by AMD and later adopted by Intel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 The Intel64 aka ia64 stands for Intel Itanium CPUs which were discontinued, so modern 64-bit ones are all AMD64
