I tested Windows 11 LTSC in 2026, and it’s the best version of Windows 11 without Copilot, AI and other bloat

Windows 11 LTSC is a version of Windows 11 designed for stability, lacking bloatware, Copilot, and frequent updates. It offers a leaner OS experience with only Microsoft Edge as a modern app and classic versions of other apps. Users can delay feature updates and receive only monthly quality updates for 10 years. Windows 11 LTSC is suitable for large organizations, industrial systems, and IoT devices, and can be downloaded for a 90-day evaluation period. While it may not be ideal for gaming PCs due to infrequent feature updates, it shines in stable environments that prioritize reliability over new features.
