Hi guys! So…yeah, I have a W10 IoT LTSC via massgrave getting this warning. Any idea what’s up? Shouldn’t it continue chugging along for a good few years more?
The massgrave site has a faq entry for this. According to them it’s only a cosmetic bug and microsoft will probably patch it.

Na there are a bunch of caveats and different types of Windows 10/11 Enterprise and specifically IoT Enterprise.
Go back to their wiki pages cuz you are guna have to re-do the activation process and should nake sure you are setting it up per the provided instructions. Ive had windows 11 Enterprise IoT running for over a year now and its the best exclusive to Windows/Microsoft decision I ever made.
Microsoft makes a relatively great product in its Enterprise line, stripping most of the spy/bloatware out and allowing simple user configuration settings changes to kill the rest, plus all the advertised tools/software that only comes with an Enterprise shit.
Then they strip all the useful tools out, facefuck as much bloatware as they can jizz into your PC while buttfucking even more spyware into your PC raw dog style with so much breaking of everything with every fuckin update they release.
Im sorry I forgot what this conversation was about buuuuutttt fuck Windows in their fucking fuckhole is the TLDR

Yup. This is Win 10 IoT LTSC 21H2. Which should have updates all the way to January 13, 2032, if I’m not wrong. The HWID license is activated and attached to the VM. But…I’m getting a warning in Windows Update today.

Yeah but there were methods for activating it with a trial activation code that only lasted a year I think, a method for activating ut offline permanently, and also a method for activating it using an annual reactivating activation code that, again *******was set it and forget it for as long as windows 11 enterprise will be supported

If your pirating which for end users is the only way to get LTSC, just run Windows Server.
It’s cleaner than LTSC.

Can you elaborate on how it’s cleaner?

Not disagreeing but this isnt a form of pirating. They didnt break shit, they didnt hack shit and they didnt exploit shit. Microsoft built their entire DRM software in a way that was able to be recerse engineered.
Again, not contradicting anything you recommended. I just wanted to point this out because I cant encourage this option enough for anyone forced into putting up with Windows. You are actually uaing the same activation codes that microsoft themselves generate and distribute to their customers.
I can confirm it works for Windows 10, 11, for any iteration of 23h or 24h, all Office applications, both individually and packaged, visual studio, and I wanna say Adobe but that one im not 100% on.
