Leaked Windows 11 "Government Edition” that has no telemetry tracking or bloatware is actually FAKE
A leaked ISO that included a "Government Edition" of Windows 11 has been discovered to be fake. Shocker.
Appreciate the capital letters so we know what words are important, WindowsCentral.
It’s a FAKE!!!
It’s a way of letting the audience know the writer thinks you’re an idiot.
Or you know, use Enterprise edition which has local policies that allow you to disable most all of it.
Or, you know, use an OS like Linux that doesn't require to disable the bloat ware or spyware at all.
yeah I'm using enterprise rn, can even completely disable ms accounts, as in the os just completely forgets they exist (except per-application logins of course, by ms accounts i mean the os-wide integration) like when you go create an account, it just skips right to local account creation... copilot can be disabled, widgets can be disabled too...
if you have enterprise edition you can actually disable telemetry instead of trying to block it (aka the "Security" level (iirc it can also be called "Compliance" or sth), all other versions only allow "Required")
There's not a Government edition of Windows, but Microsoft 365 does have special government licensing and it's intriguing to look at the differences.
Yes there is:

Do note this is unrelated to the very recent Windows 11 "government edition" "leak" though.
This might be fake, but LTSC is not. It's been around in Windows 10 for years, designed for bloat free stability for IoT and operational devices. A consumer shouldn't technically use it but there are ways.
I don't know how much 11's version has been debloated, but it might be a good experience.
There's government editions of Windows, and it's when governments have signed deals and blood pacts with Microsoft to get access to the source code of Windows, whereby the government compiles it them selves.
However, this is only for military and critical infrastructure, whereas governments also buys a shit ton of enterprise licenses in bulk that they have no control over, and no matter how you slice it, any government that uses Windows Server to serve middleware is comprised of idiots.
It's like "Daddy Usa and Daddy China, plz penetrate my moist encryption and security policies UwU"
No, seriously. If your government doesn't roll its own or has hired some local enterprise distributor, it's like saying come on in to one of the two big imperialists.
No, you just use group policys and security stacks. The government just uses enterprise. Strips it down to only what's needed and allowed.
This one is real and from 2020:
