The main reason for considering a change is the presence of unnecessary apps in Pro/Education. These have led to many problems for me, and turning them off is quite frustrating. I’m certain LTSB doesn’t include them since it’s based on an older version, but no one has mentioned this with the new LTSC.
Yes, they are available. The system remains consistent. Gaming performance has been stable overall.
LTSC is free from any UWP applications, making it a major benefit for those seeking a hassle-free experience. What purpose does the game bar serve? Others likely handle its functions better, and more. It seems you might want to include it if needed. Some users have shared scripts for integrating particular UWP programs with Windows 10 LTSB or LTSC.
Nothing, I don't want to use it. I just really want it gone. The problem is, "Fullscreen Optimizations" cause more issues for me and is the biggest reason I want to switch to LTSC. If there's no global toggle, it means I'll have to disable it for each game, one by one.
You're experiencing difficulties with Fullscreen Optimizations on your Windows 10 Enterprise 1803. The feature isn't visible in the Display settings, even though your system isn't an LTS or LTSC edition. Game Mode is off, and you're considering it might be tied to the Game Bar or Xbox functionality. A registry adjustment exists to disable it, and some users report seeing it in certain editions. It's possible the issue stems from a component within the Xbox program or a configuration mismatch. What challenges does this feature present in your setup?
Generally lower efficiency and the biggest issue is that many of my games close after launching if they're in Fullscreen mode, making me have to go back. It's a small inconvenience but still bothersome. Additionally, the key I'm using is currently set to 2 on Windows 10 Pro 1803, and it actually lets me turn it off in *right-click .exe* → properties → compatibility. Without the key, that choice isn't visible at all.
Reseller platforms such as eBay, Craigslist, Reddit and others are where I typically search for licenses. If none are available immediately, they often become accessible after a short wait. Additionally, Microsoft maintains KMS servers to activate LTSC trial periods, which grant a 180-day activation window before re-activating the same setup with another 180 days, effectively lasting indefinitely. You might continuously renew LTSC through the trial or purchase a license if needed.
