wdym best UX? i don’t see any reason not to just use the default editor
Windows 10 is about to go EOL next year so time to upgrade.
I want to stay with Win10 Pro as long as I can but eventually we’ll all be forced to upgrade October 2025.
Are there any new security/user privacy to Win11 Pro compared to Win10 Pro?
There seems to be some confusion on when Win10 support ends so here’s an official Microsoft statement:
You can with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC till 2032. Don’t ask me how. Please search the web.
My only gripe with this is the iso, i dont know where it came from even though i can verify the hash. So ![]()
There’s this tool to check it
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_and_office_genuine_iso_verifier.html
And why would you trust that tool? Better to verify the hash against multiple databases instead of running random code on your own device. It is also possible to verify the hash directly from Microsoft
It came from Microsoft, specifically MVS, but it can also be downloaded from VLSC if you have a license for that.
I might dm you if your ok with that. Just give me some time to gather my thoughts/resources. Tx
Is the former overviews not accessible anymore? I remember setting up my windows enterprise multiple times using the guide on PG site but can’t find it anymore. Instead there’s this unfinished one and github where I can’t find simple step by step tutorial. What do I do now then?
It is now on the main website Windows Overview - Privacy Guides
Yeah all those coming soon topics were covered in overview, so can’t I access it anymore?
They are not here Group Policy Settings - Privacy Guides ?
This is but a fraction of what it used to be
I believe this is what you are talking about:
Update: by enabling “advanced mode” in UBlockOrigin I was able to ditch NoScript!
I use UBO purely now, it is great
Source? Process isolation with nested filesystem userns sandboxes works in podman containers.
With gVisor you can harden apps even more by reducing the attack surface they are exposed to
I’m bit perplexed by the “Platform Security Level: Secure Boot and DMA Protection” setting suggested in the group policy page because my understanding is that most Desktop PCs/CPUs don’t support DMA protection? If I set this setting is there potential for some problems to arise?
I’m also wondering about the Device Guard setting and how to know if my CPU (Ryzen 7600) would support it and if turning it on could again have some potential problems if not.
Hardening Windows is way too complicated for the average user, so they have two options: 1. To use Linux where possible, otherwise the easiest and safest way (recommended by Microsoft themselves) to debloat and make more private Windows should be at the top of the guide. That would be to use Windows Education (since it disables some telemetry by default and other unnecessary features like Cortana) via a MAS, and then fresh installing it after, or are there even more private, debloating and easier ways? Then we can follow this up with how to encrypt Windows etc.
This is why a guide is being made.
Telling someone not to use Windows, in a Windows guide. This can’t be a serious suggestion.
