LTSC VIDEOS:
What to Install First: studio.youtube.com/video/m84B3...
Are LTSC ISOs Safe? youtu.be/7WGEVeVlMXg

Windows used to be amazing. It was made for users, not investors, not ai bros, not marketing people, etc.

Recently, Dave Plummer made a video discussing the Windows XP SP2 that he worked on and said that Windows 11 needs a SP2 moment... and YES.

So, in this video, I decided to discuss what I'd do if I could make a SP2 for Windows 11:

🪟 Windows 11 Needs an SP2 Moment – Can We Make Windows Good Again?

Community Responses:

🔐 1. Privacy (Trust – the XP SP2 Moment)

Core principle: Local account choice, explicit consent

Copilot & Recall (ask during install)
- Off by default
- One toggle, not buried (can even ask when installing)
- No background services when disabled

Telemetry
- Single “Diagnostic Data: OFF” option
- No required telemetry loopholes
- No re-enabling after updates

Offline / Local Accounts
- Fully supported at install
- No dark patterns pushing Microsoft accounts
- Cloud features clearly labeled as optional

No Ads Anywhere
- No Start menu promotions
- No lock screen ads
- No “suggested” apps
- OS is not an advertising platform

Default Local-First Behavior
- Files save locally by default
- OneDrive opt-in, not opt-out
- No auto-sync surprises (I've heard of people not paying for OneDrive and having things locally deleted)

🎨 2. UI & Personalization (Respect User Workflow)

Core principle: Choice without hacks or third-party tools

Taskbar Options
- Movable taskbar: bottom, top, left, right
- Size options
- Icon spacing options

Start Menu Choice
- Win 98 / Classic Taskbar
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
- If Open-Shell can do it, MS can

Taskbar Choice
- If RetroBar can do it, MS can

Right-Click Context Menu
- Classic right-click menu as default
- No “Show more options”
- Full shell extension support restored

Theme & Style Options
- Real themes, not just accent colors
- Window borders, spacing, fonts
- Dark mode that’s actually consistent

Settings vs Control Panel
- Pick one
- No settings scavenger hunts
- Stop moving options every release

No Forced UI Churn
- UI locations don’t move randomly
- No redesigns just to justify updates – talk about this for a minute… the UI was solved a LONG time ago
- Stability over novelty and modern style

⚙️ 3. Functionality (Professional, Predictable, Fast)

Core principle: The OS gets out of the way

Performance / Workstation Mode
- Minimal background services
- No widgets, news, AI, cloud hooks
- Designed for devs, creators, power users

Update Control That Actually Works
- Separate tracks:
- Security only
- Security + features
- No surprise restarts
- No forced UI changes via “security” updates

TPM 2.0: Soft Requirement
- Allow install without it, just warn us
- Restrict certain features instead of the OS

File Explorer Rework
- Faster
- Move anything anywhere, like with W98 as example
- Less padding
- No random web integrations unless we put it into web mode

Search That Respects You
- Local search only by default
- Internet results toggleable
- No Bing search without consent

Reliable System Snapshots
- Shadow Copy / make it work again
- Snapshot browser
- Fix rollback

Open the Shell
- Official support for alternative shells
- GNOME / Plasma-style ecosystem
- Windows should be the platform and kernel with the default ecosystem / shell only

Long-Term Stable Desktop Edition – Basically LTSC should be Pro edition
- 5–10 years
- Security fixes only
- No UI churn
- Not enterprise-locked
