| available with: |

❗VERY IMPORTANT❗: You must complete the ITESlive software installation on the device that will be used to broadcast the display. Do not complete the ITESlive software installation on your personal computer.
Important: Seeing that it is now impossible to install the latest version of the .NET Framework on the Windows 2015 LTSB operating system, this version of Windows is no longer supported by the ITESLIVE software. The following is the minimum required and the recommended versions of Microsoft's long-term support systems.
Important: We generally recommend avoiding a 4K configuration unless the device has the necessary performance to handle this resolution smoothly, particularly a sufficiently powerful graphics card. A Full HD resolution (1920x1080) is more suitable in most cases and helps ensure optimal display performance.
Note: Improper installation due to not following the described procedure may cause security vulnerabilities.

The installer will make it so that the Windows time service is activated and is used to synchronize the computer's date and time. - Install NTPD
NTPD is a free service named Network Time Protocol Daemon that will be installed and configured according to the computer's regional settings. The installer will deactivate the Windows time service and will ensure that the NTPD service will be used to syncrhonize the computer's date and time.
Note: It is possible to use the NTPD service even if you wish to use your own time server. Click here to see the require manipulations to edit the service's configurations.
Enable Microsoft Update
The "Enable Microsoft Update" option is enabled by default because it allows the update of Microsoft products (other than Windows) on the device. Thus, ensuring that .Net is up to date seeing that it is a prerequisite for the ITESlive software.
Disable screen saver
