Why is your company deploying Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB)?Current Branch for Business (CBB) seems much more appropriate.As for your question, Microsoft won't release LTSB with 1511 update. LTSB will only be upgrade with new features every two to three of years.No store, almost no modern apps, no Edge, no Cortana. We were just looking in to the CBB (since I can uninstall some of that stuff with Powershell and disable the rest with GPO), but update 1511 restores all apps and resets all defaults.
Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 Ltsb X86 Processor Instruction Rating: 5,0/5 7738 votes. Windows 10 Anniversary Update (x86 and x64) so you will need Windows.
We don't want to have to deal with that every 4 months.Plus, the fact that those updates are treated as upgrades is a major no-no for us. I have a 60GB Windows.old folder on my home computer now! LTSB is just more appropriate. Nobody will use apps, nobody will use the store.I was thinking that since we are just now rolling out Windows 10, it would be best to get LTSB with 1511.
Edited November 21, 2015 by xWhiplash. You shouldn't be upgrading any business every 4-6 months. LTSB is a good choice for you. Though if you wanted to, what Ravensky said can be setup as a simple scheduled task.I would not be upgrading their system, Microsoft will without me rolling it out the way I want to. Without LTSB, you can only defer upgrades for a few months. Therefore, they will eventually upgrade on their own. Employee systems should never be upgraded. They should be clean installed when my team gets to their department.
If update 1511 was just a basic update this would not be an issue. I would not be upgrading their system, Microsoft will without me rolling it out the way I want to.

If update 1511 was just a basic update this would not be an issueFrom my understanding, it's only Windows 10 Home versions that are unable to control how/when updates are delivered.
Other versions can either be controlled by the user or system administrators. Why wouldn't WSUS solve this issue?That is why I am asking. When I was looking at the Enterprise editions, they said LTSB is the only one that allows you to defer upgrades for years. Also, my WSUS isn't even receiving the 1511 upgrade. There are some systems that won't get imaged or shouldn't be 'upgraded' for years. So there is no reason having a mixed environment since no systems NEED upgraded until we decide to upgrade them (as in re-image them). What is the reason for using Enterprise over Enterprise LTSB?
Nobody uses or wants the modern apps, Cortana, or any of those features. That is why I am asking.

I would wait for Windows 10.1 aka redstone. There won't be a LTSB with TH2 is my guess. Never go with a.0 with no service packs.
Even so I am disturbed from reports that TH2 actually will re-set your system. That can't be good at work to have users wait 2 hours and have things change and graphics drivers borking systems etc.
WIth LTSB I believe the max MS gives you is 12 months.What I would want is a service pack. Yes MS is terrified of the next XP but doing rapid updates makes Windows 7 the new XP and they do not see this?
