Why Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a special edition of Windows 10 that allows business customers to do without feature updates. It is intended for specific computer systems that need servicing updates for several years but do not use many of the apps in Windows 10. These include ATMs, point-of-sale systems or computers that control medical equipment. Such computers typically perform only a single, specific and important task. That is why they do not need the feature updates that are relevant for the classic office PC. A stable and secure operating system for businesses Computers for which Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is an option should run as stably as possible and be protected against external threats. Changes to the user interface, on the other hand, are of little importance for these devices. For these reasons, the LTSC or LTSB licensing model prevents the computers from receiving the feature updates that are otherwise usual. Only the regular servicing updates that ensure security are installed. In other words, it is a version of Windows 10 without apps, Store, Cortana and Edge. For everyday use in the office, however, it makes no sense to rely on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB. A version with long-term support LTSB stands for "Long Time Servicing Branch", as it is the "branch" of Windows operating systems that is supported for up to 10 years. The name of this servicing branch changes in 2018/2019 to "Long Term Servicing Channel" (LTSC). Unlike the "Semi-Annual servicing channel" that is usual in the office, there are never any feature updates via LTSB. Instead, a new LTSC version of the operating system is released every two to three years. Users can decide whether to upgrade to it or stay with the version they originally purchased for up to 10 years. The workload of a company's own IT staff can therefore be minimised with Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB. A lean OS without unnecessary apps Each new version of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB will support the new processors of its time. This is ensured by the "Standard Silicon Support Policy", which established operating system manufacturers adhere to. In this sense, there will always be a version of this business operating system that matches newly developed processors. At its core, the LTSB version has the same features as the Semi-Annual servicing channel version of Windows 10 Enterprise. However, it leaves out applications that PCs intended for people have, such as Outlook Mail, Calendar, OneNote, Weather or News. Windows 10 LTSB therefore boosts the performance of computers intended, for example, for machine control, telephone systems, embedded systems in cash machines or in kiosks.
