Windows LTSC.

LTSC is not as good as it used to be. There's no "all telemetry off" button, there's still a Windows store in the latest version. You still can't turn updates off. I guess you can do these things in group policies but it used to be much better in the gui.

Ps yes I'm using the IoT Enterprise LTSC. Not the non IoT

It's true that you can't turn disable software updates without a registry edit, but those updates are purely security patches and nothing else. Although I do believe on principle that users should always be able to control updates, there's really not a lot to complain about here. (And you can control the updates, with a registry edit.)

There is? Not in mine.

I just double checked, I'm running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024, which appears to still be the latest.

		I'm running the Win10 version (the latest for that). I will doublecheck, I'm sure I saw the windows store. Mainly running it because my skylake NUC is no longer supported by Win11. And it still works totally fine for programming microcontrollers. And I do want updates, I just want to decide when to install them. Not that "install before next tuesday or we will do it for you" mafia bullshit.
