Hi there again, I’ve been experimenting with the new Tiny10 and Tiny11 in VMs, and have two questions if you still don’t mind.
First, with Tiny10, have you had trouble with the update KB5032189 - Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems? It always fails for me with reference 0x800f0831. I’ve searched about and all the explanations I can find have to do with not being able to contact the update server, etc, but all other updates will install. I thought I’d give it a few days in case something on MS’s side was being fixed or rolled back, but today I opened it and it downloaded a different security update and successfully installed, then errored on this same KB again. I’ve even downloaded the update file and tried a manual install with the same failure. Have you encountered this or figured out how to fix it? It happens on both the Tiny10 released earlier this year and the most recent one.
edit: I realize that maybe it’s just incompatible with Tiny10 due to what it is, and can just block it using the Show or Hide Updates Tool… but would appreciate verification if that’s the case.
Meanwhile, Tiny11 seems to download and install all updates successfully. Wondering if I should go with Tiny11 now.
Second, regarding the example link you provided showing how to get missing Windows Updates… I’m not sure I understand what to expect when running the command, and that may be because I’m not trying to update an old enough version of it, or something else, such as I just don’t know wtf is going on. So for Tiny10 from Feb/Mar, the build is 10.0.19041.3031, and for the most recent version the build is 10.0.19041.3324. I assume that for the earlier version I should be running the command for %s in (“%windir%servicingPackagesmicrosoft-windows-*-22h2-ekb*-package*~~10.0.19041.3031.mum”) do dism /online /add-package /packagepath:%s …it does something related to 4 files, and then doing a Windows Update does nothing. The .mum file versions don’t update to anything newer, but I’m not sure that’s what to expect anyway.
So could you explain what I should be seeing or expecting, and/or the proper circumstances this should be used?
Yeah, I’m one of those latter people. When the tinnitus is so bad that it induces vertigo and nausea on a regular basis, among other things, it’s difficult to ignore.
edit: Once I went to get an MRI for it and they were really apologetic about how loud the banging in the machine was going to be, and I fell asleep twice because it was the first time something had covered up the ringing in a while.
I don’t even own a steamdeck yet but most of my actual purchases are from Steam in preparation for the next big revision. Buy Steam cheap from keyshops, pirate GOG for backup.
I triple boot Windows with a Debian distro and an Arch distro. Windows is on one drive with its boot loader there so it doesn’t mess with the linux boot loaders and vice versa, and the two linux distros and their boot loaders are on a second drive. Just make sure Windows is already there and the linux boot loaders will pick it up.
Thank you! That sounds more promising and less problematic than before. I may have a question about doing new updates like the one in the example, but I’m not sure what it would be at the moment. Though once I have a moment to go look in the windows package directory in the example, that may clear it up, if all the packages follow a version naming convention for use with wildcards. Thanks again for the info!
edit: oh and I just realized that’s a tiny10 subreddit, adding that as a resource now.
If you don’t mind, can you shed light on any showstopping limitations for Tiny10? Everything I’ve read is really vague, except that you may need to provide your own drivers that normally are already included. Have you run into anything in particular for normal productivity and gaming? or other?
LOL I wouldn’t recommend it. Stay with Android if you want to do practically anything outside the official app store. I use an iphone and an android tablet.
edit: Jailbreaking is a thing, but it’s a pain in the ass and you’re stuck on old iOS versions until the jailbreaks get updated, which could be a long while.
