jrhack Thanks! I also found them on softpedia, and tried them on 20H2. Still dizziness for me. The 2015 LTSB would not install on my system, 9th gen i7 laptop

      Alyosha2001 What was the issue with the install? Make sure you switch from Intel RST in the BIOS to ACHI. The new Intel RST drivers won’t run on 2015 LTSB and this gets around that.

          Alyosha2001 I see. Well it’s still possible to get Intel RST on 9th Gen working without any BSOD by manually loading some older Intel RST driver during the 2015 LTSB install. Specifically, Intel RST 16.x (Here is the latest from that branch [https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28992/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-User-Interface-and-Driver], but if it BSOD let me know and I will get you the specific 16.x version that worked for me). Then the installer will see your drive. You need to have the driver on the USB stick which you are doing the install from since it will ask you to load a driver.

          By the way, that 22.x Intel GPU driver I recommended loads a completely different WDDM version driver when you install it on 2015 LTSB, WDDM 2.0 instead of WDDM 2.2 when you install on newer Windows, all from the same .exe.

              degen I'd like to try that, but for now I have only one internal SSD, on which I have 20H2, because I need it for Adobe Premiere (it won't install on LTSB), and I tried installing 2015LTSB on a external USB SSD, via WinToUSB. I don't see any option to inject some drivers. Maybe if I can find a spare m.2. Thanks for the help!

                  That is only if you want to install it on local meda. On external drives, the official setup does not allow it. So I am using a program called WinToUSB, which preinstalls the windows up to the first reboot. And I cannot install in on my main drive, because I need it for work, and there are apps that require the latest builds.

                    degen changed the title to Cringy overdramatic thread name .

                    degen I've reverted my desktop Intel drivers to the version you noted above, 22.20.16.4836, and will try that for a bit to see how it feels. I think I was on a 21xxx version before Windows auto-updated me to 27.20.100.8682. I've never LOVED any display setup on this machine and think I'll probably just add an old Nvidia card to it eventually and/or revert it back to 2015 LTSB to try that out (currently I'm on 2004).

                    One question: should I be leaving all the Intel graphics settings at default? I think I read someone somewhere that was saying once you try using the drivers for color/gamma correction or any of that, that engages the advanced drivers features like dithering et al.

                        jrhack I think the main advantage of that driver I mentioned is that it allows the UHD 630/620 to run on 2015 LTSB. I don’t think it provides much benefit on build 2004 over an up to date driver.

                          MPaz I haven't unfortunately. Tried to find the top recommended one but in general I just went back to 1-monitor usage despite the productivity loss. Interestingly one Monitor which has no issues is the Asus portable monitor - that's via usb-c

                            Hey everyone,

                            I had not been feeling well, but now I am a little better and I hope to be active on the forums again. Glad to see lots of active discussions and I hope to engage with you all soon,

                            degen

                              degen Take care.

                              I PM'd with some thoughts on some related things awhile ago.

                                My only usable combination is now this:

                                UHD 620 with ditherig.exe, but I'm not sure if ditherig makes any difference

                                And now, after working one week and 2 days after vacation, I've had zero eye strain with the above combination. BUT - just had a 1.5h teams video call and my eyes are bloodshot. Before vacation I had no problems with teams video with this computer. Now my eyes are again bloodshot. There was some updates obviously.

                                In regular use:

                                • Sun Vision Display monitor
                                • Dell Inspiron 7577 (not good for over 1-2 hours, but it’s the best laptop I have)
                                • iPhone SE 2020 — this tiny phone is the best device I have!

                                Trialing:

                                • Galaxy Tab A8 2022 — feel good about it, but need more testing. When my eyes are well, it is tolerable. More so than iPad. I think they forgot to install color calibration related eyestrain

                                Used less:

                                • Onyx Mira Pro — A great device, but I enjoy using the Sun Vision Display very much
                                • BenQ EW3270U — I thought this monitor was the cat’s meow. But now that I have the Sun Vision Display I feel the strain here quite quickly

                                Undecided:

                                • Possibly a Mac to try Ashai Linux (which has no GPU driver, potentially eliminating a source of strain)
