Like Windows Embedded, Microsoft Windows IoT Enterprise was developed for use in embedded computing systems, targeting all sorts of embedded computing solutions, such as kiosk machines and POS devices. Many current IoT applications and their software code run in a windows environment on the backend. Although the end-users may not experience a traditional windows experience, IoT system builders need to ensure smooth software integrations without any bugs or even system downtime. Due to the sensitivity of IoT devices and their unique applications, Microsoft created a locked-down version of Windows 10 IoT to prevent automatic patches and updates directly in the field. This is currently known as the Long term service channel (LTSC) versions of Windows 10 IoT that offers full control and flexibility for updates. This embedded version of Windows is key to helping IoT builders master 24/7 operation and streamline automation control for devices.
