Microsoft never publishes feature updates through Windows Update on devices that run Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. As a general guideline, a device with Microsoft Office installed is a general-purpose device, typically used by an information worker, and therefore it is better suited for the General Availability channel. The Long-term Servicing channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the devices in an organization it should be used only for special-purpose devices such as an IoT device. With this in mind, quality updates are still immediately available to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC devices, but customers can choose to defer them by using one of the servicing tools. The LTSC servicing model prevents Enterprise LTSC devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date. It’s more important that these devices be kept as stable and secure as possible than up to date with user interface changes. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. This is a very costly operation since we have millions of line of code to adapt and rewrite.Specialized systems-such as devices that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs-often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. Moving all our services from Windows containers to Linux containers. NET Framework services as well as windows apps in containers. Hyper-V isolation is not an solution, it's extremely slow and is not supported for example by containerd.īase Images which allow process isolation on 21H2 for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021,īasically the ability to host. In my eyes that's a breaking behavior, it was always stated from Microsoft side that it is allowed not only to develop and test container workloads on Windows 10 IoT, actually also production workloads are supported on Windows 10 IoT. We need images for 21H2, the strategy described in: We cannot jump to Windows 11 and we cannot upgrade the systems with Windows Server licenses due to higher costs.

We need base container images for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 !Ĭurrently we use 20H2 where we still can develop windows containers, this is ticking bomb which will hit our company (>1000 developers). Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
