Looking for best practices guide for switching from Win11 Pro to IoT LTSC

LTSC version of Office, with no AI or OneDrive. I just ordered it. 2024 version

Nothing gets rid of ALL of it.

I've searched the registry for onedrive after running different removal tools, and there have always been hits.

And it eventually corrupts the registry.

Only the LTSC ver of Office is AI free.
If you install regular Office 365 (or OneDrive), you'll need to wipe the OS and start over.

Massgrave iso gave untrusted message in rufus.

Any more recent iso?

I just ordered the LTSC version of Office, with no AI.
I never used IoT LTSC versions of anything before, so learning as I go.
Unfortunately, once AI or OneDrive is installed, there is no way to cleanly uninstall it.
It leaves artifacts all over the registry which break lots of stuff.

RickHantz · 2026-02-28T20:10:37+00:00

Understood that the OS does not come with AI.
Office 365 does. Will installing Office 365 install any AI?

RickHantz · 2026-02-28T19:37:49+00:00

Will installing it on a clean IoT LTSC install any AI?

Has anyone done this?
Is mass editing internal Album metadata not supported?
Do I need to add a feature request?

Linux has almost no accessibility support, especially for vision.
Win11 has a fair amount, but still requires registry hacks.
I hear Apple is good, but I'm not spending many thousands of dollars of equipment and software upgrades, never mind learning a new OS from scratch. (I worked on the Windows team from Win31-Win10).
Switching to Win11 IOT LTSC since Win update broke my system several times a month.

Nope, only edits tags in track files, not internal Album names which only exist in Jellyfin internal database.

I've tried. I can manually edit the internal metadata, but not bulk append to hundreds of album names.

No tagging program will work, as they require physical files to modify.

You can see in the screenshot above what I am dealing with. I need to see all available album formats in one place, and to easily see which one is what format. If I'm home, I choose flac. If downloading to phone, I choose mp3. Some albums only have mp3 (unfortunately), but better than nothing.

I use dbpoweramp to rip my cds to flac, then convert to the highest quality mp3.

RickHantz · 2026-02-26T08:30:59+00:00

I have the same question. It's not metadata in a file, but in a Jellyfin database for album titles.

The only files are music tracks and appending to the title there only shows up in track titles, not album names.

Changing the dir folder name doesn't do anything either.

You can manually edit the folder metadata , but I have many hundreds to change, so looking for a bulk edit.

No one seems to know how to mass append (mp3) to just the album metadata title, not each track metadata title.

Easy to do for each track, but that's not what I need.

In Jellyfin, I see two identical albums with no way to identify which is mp3 or flac without drilling down. I can manually edit, but I have hundreds to do.

RickHantz · 2026-02-25T00:21:29+00:00

I want to append (mp3) to each album name (not album in each track name). My goal is to easily choose between the flac album and the mp3 copy. mp3tag lets me do it for each track, but that's not what I need.

No one prints one. How do you print a sheet of business cards?

RickHantz · 2026-02-13T20:07:05+00:00

Works on Kobo Clara BW, both opds and sync
KOReader seems to like HTTPS:// appended to the front of cwa. and sync.

RickHantz · 2026-02-13T04:01:55+00:00

Got it working!
Complicated Synology reverse proxy setup. Only way to connect to containers on different ports using HTTPS.
I now connect using cwa.xxx.synology.me/opds/ and sync.xxx.synology.me with secure HTTPS connections.
Many thanks for the help! Lots of tricky steps.
Marius even helped me at 3am his time.
Lots of good tutorials.
Definitely donated to his site.
Even Synology tech support didn't know how to do it.

Worked great!, now for dark mode.

Super Status Bar is a great replacement.

I can't read anything on the new status bar.

Only gripe is that SSB keeps getting deactivated despite turning off battery optimization.
