Windows Ltsb 2016 Download

[Zee Palmer]

Asdocumented here and elsewhere, the windows subsystem for Linux is currently in beta and therefore not available on Windows 10 Long-term Service Branch. My experience on LTSB is that you could enable the WSL feature but the Windows Store wouldn't download the distro appx.

Windows Server or Long-Term Servicing (LTSB/LTSC) desktop OS SKU that doesn't support Windows Store, or your corporate network policies and/or admins do not permit Windows Store usage in your environment.

This led me to think WSL would be available on LTSB. However, I find the same "unsupported version" error when I try to install the package. Also the MS how-to doc looks a little rushed (bad links, grammar/spelling errors) so I don't know how much stock to put in it.

Then, I freshly installed a legal Win10 LTSB which was available for me. Driver update was a horrible mess, the system said generic Microsoft videocard, applying a monitor through HDMI instantly crashed the system, not a singe benchmark or relevant game started. Driver update was not possible, I had to install a forced Catalyst Control, after that, some drivers could be istalled and freshed, but it not solved the problem, mirroring display still was not possible, games ran at disappointing frame rates.

The current drivers are designed for the current release of the operating system which is 1809. You also chose to load an operating system on hardware that is older than the hardwares requirements. I don't doubt you had issues and current stability. Is this a computer from your employer? Usually only corporations run the LTSB versions. If you never had stability with your product, I highly recommend you work that out with your devices maker. Before contacting them you might just try restoring that device to factory settings. Typically you have a partition with all the original OS that will allow you to do that. Then fully update that OS to 1809 and then feel free to load the latest drivers from ACER for your device. The Vanilla drivers from AMD may or may not work on your device properly, as OEMs often change their devices from reference designs the AMD drivers are optimized for. AMD has no idea what changes ACER made to THEIR product thus may not work with it properly. With laptops it is always recommended to get drivers from the laptops maker. If you have to run that LTSB version then speak to the entity requiring you to do so for support suggestions.

I assume also that my - at least for me new - W10 can be responsible for the troubles. But because my laptop is my first AMD and my first Acer product ever, I cannot exclude other possibilities, I have nothing to compare with. This operating system still gets security and stability updates, but not fancy / convenience ones (or bloatwares). This considered to be the most stable version of W10, that is why I chose it. I got it from the university's server where I've been working, it is activated and fully updated. Not my employer provided my PC for me, I've bought it myself, because my office PC is useless (P4, 1GB DDR1, Win XP, yes, in 2019!). I purchased my notebook without OS, so I cannot determine whether it has some problems itself, it immediately got the W10 LTSB by me. So that is why I said I have problems with the system, and I cannot be sure about the cause.

Maybe I should try a newer version of W10, but I really like the LTSB, it should be the default Windows, it is fast, responsive, without any unnecessary programs and functions. (Like a vanilla Android compared to vendor UIs).

AMD have just reclaimed driver support from OEMs with this 19.2.3 update, this is why I'm disappointed, I had a lot of trust in them. I like the company, I support the underdog, but I also expect professionalism from them...

I find 1809 to be great. Yes the last 3 were not as good. Not the case now, for me. We have migrated over 200 computers at my company to 1809 now. So yes we have a lot of faith in it at this point. From a personal gamer standpoint it is much better too. Just make sure to disable all the Windows gaming functions.

AMD is first didn't offer the driver to models that were differing from reference design. This is because in the past people have big issues with this. It isn't AMD's fault the OEMS don't follow the reference specs. So because people are complaining that OEMS aren't updating their drivers to be current with the new updates AMD brings out, AMD is getting the blame for that. So then they now offer the Vanilla drivers again that then don't work on some laptops. Vicious cycle I know but blame that OEMS, it's their fault not AMDs. And trust me I have no issue blaming AMD for the stuff that is their fault. There is plenty of it too!

Something broke in the newer drivers, that made them completely unusable on slightly older windows. I wouldn't have expected such kind of behaviour, since those chips were supposed to support windows 10.

The same happens with Vega64 on LTSB 2016. My Lenovo E585 has the same issue on Ryzen 2500u/Vega8. The old Lenovo driver works, except it has graphical glitches on fullscreen video in dual monitor setup. I will check later if it is the same case for R9 290x which clearly should have no issues. From what i have seen, most newer drivers than 17.7 were built to require the creators update to run. The 19.2 drivers were the first, that could actually be installed on LTSB 2016 besides the initial drivers, which Lenovo has pulled from their site by now. Switching to a different version of windows 10 would be no option, as that would conflict with security constraints that i have for my machine.

Update: The Vega 64 started behaving at some point. No Idea what happened there. Still, I cant simply change my System to something other than LTSB 2016, since this is my work machine and this OS has been choosen for a reason that doesn't allow using 1809. Since Lenovo is no longer supplying drivers that work on LTSB 2016, I am dependent on alternative drivers by AMD that don't hang the machine in specific situations. If someone here wants to analyze the issue, i could provide crash dumps.

I need to install the Windows 10 LTSB 2016 (or Enterprise, or IOT). It fails to boot on the first reboot, from the freshly created partition. It seems to find the partition, but then it only shows Dell logo with rotating dots animation indefinitely.

- BIOS boot option seems to be completely broken. elements are added, removed or changing positions without my consent. The 1st option is Windows boot manager. Tried setting up the option by hand, but that does not change much... Once, after I randomly added to list combination of recovery boot and EFI windows boot, I was able to see the repair screen (probably booted to repair partition) and subsequently, after selecting startup repair and restart it booted! But then I decided to cleanup the messed up settings in BIOS and NEVER was able to see it booting again...

That was a whole chain of problems. Dell support simply refused to provide any assistance, neither by phone, nor by online chat or opening a ticket. Very frustrating, it probably deserves a dedicated topic. But anyway, since I had no choice, I continued on my own.

I was able to make it work by sequentially reconfiguring all related BIOS boot options and retrying installation and rebooting till it finally started to boot. I don't remember now what exactly solved that because when it started to boot reliably it revealed a next serious showstopper - Windows 2016 LTSB does not support that built-in Intel graphics adapter...

Another round of shaman dancing around these PCs didn't help. This time I found no easy way to make the screen resolution larger than 1024x768. And, while investigating that, I discovered that December 2021 was the EOL of the 2016 LTSB...

The issue may have to do with the LTSB enterprise license key you are using.

It is the license key used to activate that determines the components that are activated based on the edition associated with that key.

If you have a brand new 7090 machine, you may need a new enterprise license key to go with that.

The Long-Term Servicing Channel was previously called the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). All references to LTSB are changed in this article to LTSC for consistency, even though the name of previous versions might still be displayed as LTSB.

I've got a machine running Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB. When I try to install the latest LabVIEW (2023Q3), I get an error that says the installer requires Windows 10 64-bit (version 1607) or newer. I've installed all Windows updates on this machine, so it's running the latest available. What can I do to get LabVIEW installed? Thanks in advance.

I guess one obvious question is: "Is your version of windows x64?" Sorry, sometimes it's the obvious questions that you forget about. Also, look here for more reasons why your version of Windows may not qualify.

Note that NI has online and offline installers. Online installers install the latest NIPM version which currently require 1607, so you likely need to download and install the offline version of our installers.

Thanks for the additional detail, Scott! Since I don't think I can download older versions of LabVIEW, I went down the path and upgraded to Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC, and then I was able to install LabVIEW 2023 without issue.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.

Henning, NI Package Manager has always preinstalled .NET for any NI software that requires it, and now NIPM installs 4.8 for the few software that depend on it. LabVIEW as of yet does not require 4.8, but LabVIEW does depend on a version of NIPM that does.
