Desktop Windows 10 Support Ends October 2025
(Support for the less commonly used Long Term Support Channel releases Windows 10 2019 LTSC and Windows 10 IoT 2019 LTSC will end on January 9, 2029.) After Windows 10 support ends, you'll need to upgrade to Windows 11 to keep receiving security updates.

A bunch of new Defender hooks into everything. Tracks Firefox usage now too if you let it. If you used to install LTSC to avoid MS spyware you’re going to have to disable a lot of stuff in this new version.

I completely removed Windows Defender from LTSB 2016 because it kept slowing things down and getting in my way, always scanning files (especially downloads) as if I don’t know what I’m doing and need Microshaft to tuck me into bed at night and whisper to me that my files are safe.
I’ll have to test if my usual methods still work in LTSC 2021. At least it comes with WDDM v2.9 so unless support for W10 is dropped altogether in favor of W11, the latest graphics drivers should still continue to work for the foreseeable future. Previously I had to move to LTSC 2019 on my HTPC because compatible drivers for my GTX 1650 would not install on LTSB 2016. Maybe related to the Universal Driver API introduced with WDDM v2.5 (Windows 10 1809).

It will be the last half decent version of Windows. Things are getting worst with 11. Disabling Defender and all the cloud-based crap is getting much harder. Windows 11 was designed by marketing dept folks who wanted crap that looked pretty but was not functional at all. Windows 11 is the least product version of Windows in a long time. More clicks, more useless nonsense thrown at you.
My LTSC 2019 was very heavily personalised, 2 years of fine tuning, tweaking. Such as tracking down over 200 things that write log files continuously in windows. And much much more -
Is all that necessary?
Why so many adjustments?
would you have a copy of that heavy modified version ?
how would i get it -
thousands of configurations to the hosts file to stop my less than legal software phoning home, etc etc etc.
but if you think just cleaning up windows makes you untrackable - long way to go - everyone is trackable
do you file taxes or ever have ?
watch the doc. on netflix
