" There is no way, you own a copy of Windows Iot Enterprise Ltsc. "
I do not know why this is such a big deal, but as you can see, from within the Microsoft Store, not just an activation screen, but logged into the store within my Library, I own Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Ltsc 2021 and 2024, while running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise Ltsc.

The screenshot is of the full screen desktop with the Microsoft Store, open into my personal Library (screenshot shows it is the library), and in the library is a copy of Windows 10 Iot Enterprise Ltsc 2021 and 2024, while settings, showing that I am currently running Windows 11 Iot Enterprise Ltsc, which is also activated.

Certain built-in apps are breaking on Windows 10 systems. Because the apps Calendar, calculator & photos are delivered through the Microsoft Store, even if you pause Windows updates, you will still get the updates for these apps. The bug seems to only affect "older" hardware, notably Intel Core 2 Duo & Quad chips.

If your system is affected, your best bet for now is to use 3rd party apps for those needs.

#Microsoft wants to rewrite `explorer.exe` with the #Windows App #SDK and #WinUI3.

The current #explorer is slow af, but somehow I feel like they will manage to make it even slower.

I wanted to try #WinUI a few times now, but they made it impossible to use in a regular program. It has to be a packaged #App and it has to be distributed through the #WindowsStore. And all of a sudden, the #Win32 #GUI seems still fine to me.

Or, actually, #WxWidgets! Did you know it had an update recently?

Yesterday, I finally removed the shortcut to the from my taskbar, having over the past 8 years only ever clicked on it by mistake, since it's no longer available to me since the 11th anyway...

L'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions. Mais pour le coup, je pense que l'intention de Microsoft était vraiment bonne.

For the record and in an attempt to contribute to the world's knowledge of holes in Microsoft documentation:

At least the way I did it, for in-process plugins, you need to create the MSIX packages using
makeappx and manifests written/edited from a template by you, not generated by Visual Studio or something (copy your AppxManifest.xml file into the directory with your payload files (which has to include all the stuff your application needs to run and any bits like images referenced in the manifest) and run makeappx pack /d InputDirectory /p OutputPackageFile.msix, then use signtool sign to add a signature). The plugins need a <MainPackageDependency> pointing to the main app, and the main app needs to use Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.Dependencies to get the plugin packages and Package.InstalledLocation to find their base directories so you can actually load from them.

It might totally be possible to use Visual Studio's MSIX generation or some third-party thing but I gave up on it after fighting it for a while.

For a .NET non-UWP application like mine, you need to use one of the
Windows build-number-specific Target Framework Monikers for .NET 5+, e.g. net5.0-windows10.0.19041.0 (for earlier .NET or C++ or whatever you're sort of on your own since I didn't have to do that, but that page might say and if not look for something about Universal Windows contracts) to get access to Windows.ApplicationModel.

It's not really absurdly complicated but the documentation is not good.
