    In Windows 11, the blue screen (BSOD) turns black
    Microsoft's so-called Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) will go black in the new Windows 11 operating system, according to those with access to a preview of the software.

    To create a bootable USB Flash Drive with the Windows 11 ISO file, use RUFUS which is the best.

    This Windows 11 Integral Edition can be installed in all languages . . .

      @kolipoki Rufus does actually work, unlike most 'bootable USB windows installer' tools, but annoying how they pretend FAT32 can't support partitions larger than 32 gigs or whatever =P  As if they don't know what a lie that is = come on =;-o  NTFS is way slower & unstable compared 2 FAT32 is Y it's better 2 do everything inFAT32, preferably with 4KB clusters so less 'slack waste'.

    Dear Ramsey, with Firefox as the default browser ,what is your suggestion to watch HDR on youtube?
    • This commment is unpublished.

      @Ramsey
      IF U R running Windows 7 or later Firefox is way better because more addon options 4 it yes?  I personally wouln't ever bother learning how 2 optimize 'Brave' as since it is so artificially limiting in OS support it's pointless, unless it has something really better about it that Firefox can't do (with the right addons).  4 example, iMod Firexox so it disables all JooToob adz, so no 'interruptions', + it's totally portable, unlike Chrome which is deliberately designed 2 sabotage moving it 2 another machine unless U sign up 4 their 'cloud tracking' bull$hit 'account' sync game =P  When a person learns about Firefox there is lots more support 2 draw on 2.  It's really the only game in town, as a 'main' browser goes = can B made completely portable, & renders YouTube better than the others.  Also U will get more speed (can player bigger videos without hickups & other problems) better on 32 bit, & also if the OS is 32 bit that helps 2, & yes I tried different combinations, B it 32 or 64 bit Firefox on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.  32 bit Firefox on 32 bit 7 was smoother, faster, etc.  64 bit is bull$hit, like 'HDR' or 'THX' = LOL!!

    many thanks for the amazing releases ! 
    I have a question in regards to the directory c:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\ and inside  initial_preferences , why brave browser directory (with just a single file)  is found in your release?

      Ramsey · 11 months ago
      @Hoodini You can delete this folder if you don't plan to use/install the Brave Browser. It's only a per-congregated settings file.

    Hi Ramsay. I have a question. I would like to join the Windows Insider with this copy of Windows I d/l from your server. Is is possible, or does it have to be a genuine, activated copy? Is there a bypass script I could use to do? This copy of Windows is on a Panasonic CF-19 Toughbook. I was just curious. No harm done if we can't. Thanks.

      @Ramsey Anybody who wants the best solution should try what I am doing, which is a simple little portabe 'Office 97' versions of 'Word' & 'Excel'.  If U want 2 find them I can E-Mail me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' 4 links 2 some sites 2 check out (& same goes 4 the best version of 'pre-updated' Windows 7 out there, which is so incredibly INFINITELY superior 2 Windows 11 in every possible way imaginable, except 4 the fact there R many fools who artificially sabotage their software so it 'demands' something 'later' than 7, which is as absurd as pretending N E 1 needs 64 bit anything LOL  Windows 7 not only is available in 32 bit version so can run a wider range of old drivers 4 (cheap) hardware, it's also FASTER because fewer bits 2 address, same as 32 bit versions of web browsers like Firefox.  64 bit is just another silly 'number bigger better' bull$hit $cam =P

      N E waze, I'm not a fan of MS Word as there's a lot of GR8 freeware that's way better than that, but it's good 2 have around 4 reading & modifying 'word' docs from others, & a few 'de-formatting' tasks.  As 4 'database' stuff though Microsoft Excel '97 is the best spread sheet program by far.  It does anything any professional in the world can possibly need for accounting purposes & stuff, & is compact & quick & E Z 2 use & very flexible.  All they do with more 'updated' versions is fuk stuff up, progressively more with each new & even more fuk'd up version, culminating in the insanely space-wasting 'hide it under even more submenus' ribbon garbage LOL

      Even the most basic things like maintaining custom cell highlighting when using a dark desktop theme break with 'mainstream' freeware equivalents, & some even break the formulas! =;-o  Also when U work in '97' versions U can B sure everybody else can use them instead of bull$hit $abotage messages about 'compatibility programs' (2 try & force people 2 $witch).  It's all a big joke = like pretending TVs have 'invented new colors' or something.  No, U can make any color a human can see with just red, green, & blue (light) LOL =))  Speaking of TVs, stick with fluorescents & plasmas.  Every LED-based technology has $hit color, relatively speaking =P

      @Dood McMan BTW: Regarding 'patches' & 'updates' it's infinitely better 2 have a STABLE release so Micro$hit can't DESTROY people's machines =)  The instant I went online with your 'well improved' version of Windows 11 it self-destructed with a bunch of 'phone home' krap literally taking the computer away from me & trying 2 sabotage it, so I shut it off instead of the 'wait around wasting your time while we wreck your machine' messages LOL  Then when I boot up says it needs 2 'repair' & this & that & even suggested I re-install the whole OS = LOL!!  It reminds me of the early days of pre SP3 Windows XP where as soon as you go online U get hit with a ton of viruses & worms & stuff because of some 'open network port' problem, except in this case it's the actual software 'vendor' (Micro$oft) who is doing the damage 'online' =P  In other words, U should (as I have mentioned B 4) make everything totally 'locked down' by PERMANENTLY DISABLING ALL UPDATES unless the user specifically enables that (anti) feature 2 'phone home' & 'hope 4 the best' =)

      As a relevant example here, my main PC is a literal 'street garbage' HP (Asus OEM motherboard) PC with a trash 'core 2 duo' E8500 CPU or whatever, running your 'optimized' custom XP variant from this web site I got over 10 years ago (pretty sure = can check).  It 'just works' so Y fuk it up?  The ONLY reason ANYBODY actually 'needs' Windows 11 is 2 simply have a 'compatibility layer' 2 run some of the foolishly programmed software out there that 'demands' it 2 exist on the machine.  It's so absurd it's obscene, because anything they could ever possibly want 2 do they can do on any 'old junk' (yet way faster & stuff) OS like Windows '98 =P  I recently got an E-Mail from somebody who saw me on this forum talking about issues like this & here is their message & my response, which U may find useful ~>

      Subject: WINDOWS ~>
      "Hi.i found you at zone94.com
      i want ask if u have some backup of windows you modify?
      thanks

      My reply ~>
      What do you mean? XP or later self-destruct if you try to boot them on different hardware than the original installation =P For example, if you remove the drive with the OS on there, & put it in a different PC (with different type of motherboard, etc.) it will give you a 'BSOD' (Blue Screen Of Death). It is sabotage by design = not necessary or 'protecting anything', & Windows '98 on back would not do that but instead try to load whatever drivers were different so it could boot again (like Linux?)

      So yes if I were a 'programmer' type I could figure out how to make a 'custom installer' for the fancy XP or whatever else, with all the necessary tweaks I do, but I am not at that level (yet), which is why I ask about hiring 'Ramsey' & others (who just ignore me =P)

      I've been researching networking & virtualization & I think what may work well is a 'bare metal hypervisor' that runs 'containers' rather than 'virtual machines', so the user could (for example) have all the different drivers & stuff to assign the different bits of actual hardware to different 'applications' on a 'program' basis, while using whatever operating system of their choice =) So in other words, everything will appear like that operating system, but you can launch whatever 'applications' (software) you want, & it will 'just work' because it has the 'container' with all the necessary DLL files & whatever = kind of like the idea in Linux with 'Wine' maybe, but instead of trying to do 'open source' just using the easy quick & simple route of using the ACTUAL ORIGINAL OS files instead = like for XP, 7, 11, & whatever.

      The ideal solution would look & run simple & fast like Windows '98 (Pre IE6 sabotage =)) while being able 2 run software for versions that came after. I make XP & 7 look like '98 anyway, because it is more easy & simple 2 use. If I want something 'pretty' I will stare at some hot gal's ass or something =) An operating system is a TOOL. For 'beauty' & 'design', it's silly 2 try & dress up a 'device' like that. The ridiculously space-wasting clumsy 'tablet/phone' nonsense of Windows HATE (8) on forward is completely ridiculous =P

      Anyway, time 2 check out some ass, because my OS is so 'ugly' (but way better =) HAHAHA ~>

      @Dood McMan BTW: i4got 2 mention iHave many nice PCs, even 'super computer' level stuff.  I buy them up in bulk sometimes when I C a GR8 bargain =)  iDon't use them because iDon't need them.  It's not my fault so many people think they need a quad core or more & 8 gigs of RAM or something 2 check their E-Mail = LOL  The most insane thing I've ever seen though is Google Chrome with how it deliberately wastes as much RAM & CPU as possible.  It's like virus/malware level $hit =;-o  Firefox after they flipped 2 the 'chromium' whatever 'engine' (so Youtube would continue working OK after Google sabotaged it with even more broken 'java hell') isn't nearly as bad, & way better after doing a bunch of 'thread limiting' trix =)  iHear about 'single thread' flags 4 'chrome' so it would B nice 2 C in the portable '360' & others also =D

      A lot of sites work better in Chrome than Firefox, even though they have similar 'rendering' bits.  'Mypal 68' is far behind, breaking even on 'simple stuff' like the Home Depot web site =P  It's also funny how like 15 years ago Youtube was so much faster & more stable than it is now = back when they used flash, & didn't super-load it with so much garbage 2 deliberately wreck it (2 try & force the whole world 2 'go chrome' just so they could deal with it = like a 'lock & key' situation =P)  BTW: Currently I have a dozen Dell Precition T5810.  They can take quite fancy CPUs & tons of RAM = GR8 4 both 'industrial' & 'high end gaming' (look into it).  If N E 1 here is maybe curious 2 buy or trade 4 whatever here (programming?) maybe let me know at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)  I got all 12 4 a grand total of $100 from a college student on Craigslist who got them from 'Cal Poly' college hoping they had fancier video cards.  A later auction had another batch with 'mystery' gaming cards (random 2 slotter things) but at esentially $35 or so each that's way more than I was willing 2 go, since I don't even use stuff like that.  I can do 4K videos on my 'junk' core 2 duo running XP I put on it like 10 years ago (from Zone94 WOOO!) so what's the point? =))  BTW: I run about 12TB on it & many drives so whenever there is a big problem or something like if I tweak something wrong I just boot from another drive & replace the 'broken' 1 with a 'backup mirror' from 'DriveImage XML' ~>

    Ramsey - Slightly OT,
    It could be very useful to have Integral Editions of Win7 and Win8.1 x64.
    Especially the latter, as Deskmodder's ESU bypass patch is available to Win7
    but there is no ESU for Win 8.1, however there should be an upcoming ESU option for Windows Server 2012 R2 - which can be thought of as a Server Version of Win 8.1, What do you think about this, Ramsey?

      @Ramsey How much money do you want to create an 'enhanced' version of Windows 7? It is INFINITELY superior to Windows 11 in a ton of ways, which U certainly already know, but R unwilling 2 say 4 whatever 'latest greatest' cult reasons (like Apple users love 2 ignore faults =)) 4 instance, even basic things like navigating menus is closely spaced & dense rather than the absurd bull$hit 'tablet interface' nonsense of the NOT 4 desktop Windows HATE (8) /10/11 nonsense toy interface.

      As 4 'usability' XP is way better than N E thing after, especially with the 'classic' theme. Micro$hit broke 'Explorer' ever since Vista on forward, like the absurd 'indirect' feel of enclosing objects (even after disabling 'full row select') & the absurdly anti-user 'auto-sort by default' krap that mixes in 'unzipped' items by date to folders rather than at the end so we can quickly identify & delete them if desired. U R a bit of a comedian, saying 'No point using 7' = kind of like somebody saying 'no point eating pizza for lunch when U can eat dog $hit' = LOL =)) BTW: Here R a few things that would help a lot 4 Windows 11 U could do (4 a fee? =) iCan pay U? =D ~>

      ~ PERMANENTLY disable ALL updates by default, as well as permanent 'activation', so it will work FOREVER, exactly as it did on first install = not auto-self-sabotage or 'expired' nonsense. U can include a 'button' or something like a 'tool' 2 re-enable them if (if if IF) user decides 2 'click' it back 'on', & never 'auto'. Yes iTried your 11 & as soon as iDid it self-destroyed INSTANTLY in several ways, which R not relevant here as it's totally unusable & completely pointless unless can be PERMANENTLY disabled =)

      ~ Disable 'auto-sorting' in the file manager, so when unzipping (or moving items) they appear at the end of the list of contents, by default, never auto-mixed with the others (which makes them hard 2 find = they broke it on purpose, & is 1 of the main reasons windows 11 is UNUSABLE 4 N E sort of real work).

      ~ Disable every unnecessary service by default (with maybe a 'template' 2 re-enable them if desired, through something like 'pserv.cpl'? ~>

      Note: In my XP systems (which is the main OS I use, because everything after that is absolute krap) the only things running R ~>

      1) DHCP Client = internet
      2) Event Log = just 2 avoid 'shut down hanging' (bug)
      3) Plug And Play = Audio
      4) Windows Audio = as above
      5) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) = runs 'everything' (pretty much =)

      = Nothing else is really ever needed. Sometimes a random thing like 'DCOM Process Server Process Launcher' R helpful like if U want 2 use Windows built-in disk manager utility, but there R plenty of 3'rd party apps that don't need that krap. It wood alzo B GR8 if U could fix the 'event log' bug so never need it running & won't create the 'shutdown hang' just because that $hit is turned off = totally pointless.

      ~ Install a dark 'retro' (infinitely superior) skin/desktop/layout by default, so it looks & operates like Windows '95, which is the best interface of any OS, by far, & no need to ever change it. Those of us who use computers for doing actual work & not just 'dik around' want things that are intuitive & quick & E Z 2 use =) With the 'frame' style design with clear '3D edges' it's far better than all the 'flat' or 'jelly bean' bull$hit that came after. Here is a link to what apps look like in my XP setups ~>

      = 2 display the same amount of 'file tree' type information in Windows HATE (8) or later would take like a dozen 4K monitors? With all their over-speced krap & other buggy 'flat' bull$hit would also B hell 2 manage N E thing = not worth even trying until the spacing is similar, as in USABLE, not 'for tablet' gigantic pile of #FailTrain bull$hit' =P I'm not tapping things out on a fuking phone or 'tablet' krap with my giant fingers. iAm on a DESKTOP using a MOUSE! =;-o & iAm 'crazy' 2 expect the OS 2 act like it? = OMG!! =))
      Note: iCan help U with the specific settings 4 the themes = contact me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)

      ~ Enable use of Windows '98 (simple text type format) theme files on Windows 11 =) Micro$hit broke the 'theme management' so bad it's basically a surreal comedy skit = like U even need 2 download special 'hacking' apps just 2 get a consistent dark theme. It's insane, & they destroyed it on purpose. U should fix it, & I can pay U, & maybe others would B happy 2 also ~>

      Note: The ONLY reason ANYBODY would EVER actually 'want' 2 use Windows 11 (or anything after XP) is for 'program compatibility'. EVERYTHING else about the OS is INFINITELY worse. The ideal situation is to have 'Windows '98 but able 2 run other programs through DLL folders' (or whatever) =) iOnly say '98' instead of '95' because '98' has a better 'configuration' menu layout. Everything after '98' is INFINITELY WORSE in terms of 'user interface', including mac $hit, which is ironic, as everything is better with a small 'i' in front yes? =) Like 'iZombie'? =D BTW: I use iPhone 6 (for sound) & iPhone 'X' (10) for video & photos = slightly better 4 that. The rest suk, including other brands. Always funny how people use fancy photo & movie cameras, when the 6 or 10 look realistic, so WTF is the point? The 10 have better stabilization tho, & the stuff after 10 actually look worse. NEWER DOES NOT MEAN BETTER!!! =8^D ~>

N E thing LED-based has krap colors compared 2 fluorescent or plasma. Also a lot of that old power hungry stuff is a lot brighter, & of course more natural gamma curve & all that jazz. Where do U go from realistic? It's like looking through a window (when set up right) =) Even free 'obsolete' $hit from Craigslist ~>

(again) U can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com', & iCan pay U! =D iAm happy 2 duet! =;-o iAm RESULT oriented. iOnly care about PERFORMANCE, not the 'generation' or 'version number' or 'date' krap =P Pretending Windows 11 is better than 7 is like pretending a new bowl of cat vomit tastes better than a day old donut = 'woo it's newer' = HAHAHAHA =)) A young fat ugly girl is better than some 'over 30' whatever gal with a hot bod, etc = give me a break =)) ~>

      @Ramsey BTW: The ideal thing U could do (??) is make a version of Windows '98 that is modified 2 enable running software written 2 run on XP, 7, 11, etc. = kind of like how 'WINE' uses 'libraries'?  People could just dump all the 'installed OS files' into some extra 'directories' & swap the 'kernel' in different 'sand box' areas 2 run the different programs in isolated threads 'natively'?  & user could switch on & off different hardware so can also run 'direct X' & whatever 'driver support' native 2 the other OSes?  I'm thinking of getting into 'Zorin' OS & others 2 try & approximate this, but iKnow from experience 'emulation' is always so much slower =P  There is a version of XP with some add ons 2 enable XP stuff iHear about = Think maybe something like 'KernelEx' but for extending it so can run things written 4 Windows Vista or later (7, H8, 11, etc.) ~>
      "Run Windows XP/2000 application on Win98/Me with KernelEx" . . .

      An advantage of '98 (among others) is it doesn't have a bazillion layers of 'alternate user' bull$hit = just 'this is my PC' =)  Most people have multiple PCs 4 each user, not a need 4 a bunch of 'login' nonsense & all the extra complexity of 'accounts' = LOL!!  Can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' if U want $ 4 this =D  Millions (billions?) of people would love 2 have this, like especially in Asia & poor places where they want 2 extend the life of old hardware =)  U R not just being 'clever' in a tech way but 'saving the planet' & all that jazz ya?

      @Ramsey Yes yes Windows 10+ = the OS(es) that immediately DESTROY themselves with a bunch of 'up'(down) grades & 'bug injection' by de$ign from Micro$hit 2 fuk yor $ystem =))  O'Joy! =D  If U do 1 thing & nothing else, it should B 2 permanently disable all 'update' functions in Windows 11.  Everything else about it is rendered totally useless because the 'moving target of crippleware creation' wrex everything =P  It's like a comedy skit = brand new installs, immediately fukd =;-o

      @Dood McMan
      Unfortunately there is no ESU (nor an ESU patch) for Win 8.1 - unlike Win7. There should be an ESU option for Windows Server 2012 R2 coming up. Maybe these updates could be re-purposed for Win 8.1 installations as well ?
      For "gaming oriented" Desktop OS, Win XP is the "first" one to really introduce pre-emptive Multitasking. All versions b4 employed "cooperative multitasking" (Win 95, Win 98SE, Win ME). So from a Software Architecture point of view, I would not go back to anything before WinXP.

      @Dood McMan I really liked Win 8.1 - By changing the UI to the "Classic Desktop shell" project, it had a look & feel like Win7. And it was nicely supported by M$ with security patches. Such tweaked Win 8.1 desktop clients could run most application software, even exotic ones. And it used to be much more stable than Win 7 from what I learned ...

      take care
