im here because the regular microsoft forum community directed me to post my question here ,

being that it is more of a iot enterprise question.

my problem is with the windows 11 iot ltsc evaluation iso .

the windows defender does not open up at all, or work at all .

when you attempt to open it, you get a message saying you need a new app to open this link.

I tried any and all of the recommended solutions that are everywhere on the internet,

nothing works.

i wouldnt care so much since this is just the eval version , but the issue i have is microsoft wont allow regular people to download and own a full iot ltsc copy ,

but yet microsoft allows the home user to download an evaluation copy.

Im pretty much fed up completely with microsoft because the home user has to reinstall new windows every 2 years , meanwhile big business can stay on iot ltsc and recieve security updates for 10 years.

my issue with this is why cant the home end user have the option to recieve a long term type update channel option so that they do not have to get a new version of windows every 2 years or less.

i want my windows os to run exactly how i want it, how it ran a year ago , I dont want any changes, I dont want new features showing up because of forced updates.

is there anything you could recommend .

thank you for your time and support.

    nothing working at all. seems to me like a fatal flaw in the eval iso.

    unless this time microsoft just did it on purpose since its a eval.
