chrome is a programm doing such a independent own solution, i think you can take either from supermium or e3kskoy7wqk they might already know more precise what exactly you need, IE8 with tls 1.3 would be a idea in theory

My current test app is one I made in C++ using the Win32 API, and I'm trying to add modern networking stacks to it using "modern" libraries. (In my case, most likely LibcURL and OpenSSL) I am neither trying to update nor upgrade Internet Explorer 8, but rather trying to add TLS 1.2/1.3 to my own standalone executable app. (by standalone, I mean one that doesn't have any external dependencies and can run all by itself) I'm trying (and struggling) to find the prebuilt SDKs for OpenSSL and LibcURL for Windows XP, and was therefore wondering whether or not I'd need to compile the two from the source code by myself. (OpenSSL and LibcURL versions that are compatible with Windows XP and support TLS 1.2/1.3)

As far as I know, Virtualisation/Sandbox Evasion is when an app (in most cases malware) tries to detect whether it's in a sandbox or not. The MITRE ATT&CK behaviour section of VxKex-NEXT only shows the Evasion, not the Escape. (As far as I know, Virtualisation/Sandbox Escape is when the app actually tries to escape the sandbox and interact with the host OS directly) I'm not sure why this is the case, although this Virtualisation/Sandbox Evasion technique alert could be triggered by driver checks, registry entries etc. However, as plausible as this could be, in my opinion, if VxKex (i486) doesn't flag this, then VxKex-NEXT (YuZhouRen86) should also theoretically have no reason to either. (and it flagged it twice!) I kind of doubt these kinds of flags can be excused or ignored as "false positives", but I'm not entirely sure.

For a longer time, New Noon 28 and Serpent 52 don't work correctly on MediaFire. When logging in and opening a folder with more files the screen can show there is no scroll bar to get the next ones in the list. Here are screenshots from the NM and Sp browser consoles: And here is a screenshot of a MediaFire's folder taken from my account where you can see the missing vertical scroll bar:

VLC is also used to watch streams. And that means YouTube streams, too. Therefore, your request is totally on topic. Your observation in terms of the 3.0.8 version is interesting. I will try this version in my system the next days. One thing is clear. The latest versions aren’t always the best on older systems. They are no longer tested on older operating systems. I can confirm that regarding your BBC Radio 2 Live stream http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_74208725/live/ww/bbc_radio_two/bbc_radio_two.isml/bbc_radio_two-audio=96000.m3u8 the 3.0.24 version from 29.05.2026 behaves very bad, but the 3.0.8 version perfectly. Even the 3.0.20 version is ok but the 3.0.8 version performs best. When it comes to my YouTube test video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffcitRgiNDs however, I can't see any differences in CPU usage.

This means that the software can evade a virtual machine or a sandboxed application from the host OS, I don't think this is desirable (for me at least). Of course it may also mean the opposite, it isn't really clear.

the internet explorer 8 suppose to have tls 1.2 with some upgrades the standlone ie8 installer dont have tls 1.2 there KB4019276 is the upgrade for IE8 for tls 1.2 recently i wanted to test my installer, i looked on the windows update catalog and the biggest upgrade is ? the IE8 installer so i was thinking to try it on a bigger KB upgrade https://msfn.org/board/topic/187777-new-and-probably-a-lot-faster-installer/ look for kb4467770 + kb4019276 + kb4493435 + kb2598845 (english/us) or (GERMAN) there should be a downlink link there is a problem but - and im not certain where it actually come from if i use the orginal installer from IE8 almost no websites is opening (a few are opening) like theoldnet.com so i tryed both - the orginal one from microsoft and the one from me both have identical results (same goes if the side-upgrades are added) what i wanted to try is to test TLS 1.2 - but it dont do the test (either microsofts or mine) so hard to say where this is coming from - if you know i would be happy about that weird enough i have a .iso with sp3 with IE8 (without tls 1.1 and tls1.2) (like the normal IE8 installer (blank) has) there some websites are opening if you want to build in tls1.3 directly into IE8 you would need to figure out where the IE8 selects for example tls1.2 and at that progress you have to hand that over to your tls 1.3

I did the RTFM, it was hard to find so here is copy if you do not have it: https://www.trendnet.com/download_manager/default.asp?iFile=2831 it seems that that does offer ps/2 port too as option for input unless picture is generic, also have you enabled or disabled usb keyboard legacy support under bios? If it really got PS/2 option for cable rather use those and leave USB just for any USB perihepals that may use in both systems. I hate to admit it but I got little experience with USB keyboards with Windows 9x aside with Compaq presarios. I preferred use PS/2 since it works always out of the box. Also I mostly worked with ATEN USB kvm that let you set passtrough mode for port to emulate regular USB HUB. So the problem is that you cannot get keyboard or mouse to work at all?

I realise VLC specifically is NOT the topic of this thread, but could you be so kind as to actually pinpoint/link to that version? On https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win32/ you can see that their server retention goes back to last December, ONLY, so I expect, in the future, that older "artifacts" will be forever purged ; perhaps this last, XP-compatible, build deserves to be archived for posterity ... All 3.0.23 versions are compatible with Windows XP. The last 3.0.23 version was releases on 12.05.2026. The last Windows XP compatible 3.0.24 version was from 29.05.2026.

first, thanks for your reply. It is the TrendNet TK210-K. It has the TI chip in it. It should be viewed by the OS as a composite device. The TI chip is considered a USB hub. and after that it presents itself as a composite device that has 2 more functions. The keyboard and mouse. I don't know if this will help but here are the registry entries I have tried already. This might give you an idea of what the OS is expecting.under the \enum key.

It's somewhat helpful in understanding how it is setup but 98se uses a completely different way of setting up USB than ME. The problem, according to Googles AI, is that ME was born in that transition era between the older, 95 & 98, way and the just being introduced WDM way that ME uses. And what this KVM does is take your PS2 inputs for the keyboard and mouse and translates them into USB packets sent out thru the supplied USB cable that you plug into the back of the computer. So it is not a simple pass-thru. It is pass-thru for the monitor and audio. I hope that's enough for you to understand and if it's not just reply and let me know what else you need. Thanks.

I realise VLC specifically is NOT the topic of this thread, but could you be so kind as to actually pinpoint/link to that version? On https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win32/ you can see that their server retention goes back to last December, ONLY, so I expect, in the future, that older "artifacts" will be forever purged ; perhaps this last, XP-compatible, build deserves to be archived for posterity ... These recent VLC builds exhibit a very high CPU consumption on my old Core2 Duo processor when listening to radio (audio) streams using either the HLS/mpeg-dash streaming protocol, e.g. to BBC Radio 2 Live stream: http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_74208725/live/ww/bbc_radio_two/bbc_radio_two.isml/bbc_radio_two-audio=96000.m3u8 I have identified the issue to be with recent versions of the "libadaptive_plugin.dll" module: .\plugins\demux\libadaptive_plugin.dll Swapping the 3.0.24 version with the 3.0.8 old one (from 2019!) reduces the CPU usage to just 25% of what the current version uses... Apologies again for the somewhat OT parts of this comment ... Best regards.

Yeah, i already good it above, 3dfx cards would be probably the best, Matrox have some software driver and lots of ATI have OpenGL drivers only for Profesional line of cards. On physical machine you can get OpenGL 2.0 with Geforce 6x00 cards and there is even Direct3D to OpenGL wrapper (only OpenGL 2.0)

@user57 I should've perhaps specified I wouldn't mind using TLS 1.2. However, the issue is that I don't want my current test app to require an external proxy for HTTPS and modern TLS, as I'd want it to be standalone with no dependencies. But to not have any external dependencies, I'd need the SDKs, for which I need the download links, so if you have any of those, please let me know! (And if there aren't any, then I might just have to compile the source code myself, which I don't really know how to do )

I literally said CSM is on in the post.

Thanks, now I understand on how you are using the phrase "polling". BTW my boards Front Panel is not connected, I always use the green connection at the back.

I'm leaving it at that for now. If the OP doesn't reply, then I shall view this as me wasting my time and will move on. No skin off my back either way.

Guide for Half Baked Phase 1: Only TWO executibles are required. The first executible is found here: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Removal-Tools/Defender-Remover.shtml Windows Defender has had a ton of Zero Day vulnerabilities exploited (BlueHammer, RedSun, UnDefend). It really is a FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY and a MAJOR source of resource WASTE. If you "want" to run some form of anti-virus, that's your call, it is YOUR computer (personally, I am *against* them, ALL OF THEM, but I do take other preventative measures). If you can't bring yourself to AXE IT, then, and no offense, but you aren't being SERIOUS about wanting to debloat (even half-baked). Right-click it and Run as administrator and select the "Y" option (your computer will reboot): The second executible is found here: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_update_blocker.html Download, extract/unzip, and EDIT the Wub.ini file !!! The original Wub.ini section that we are editing will look like this: [Service_List] ; 2=Auto ; 3=Manual ; 4=Disabled wuauserv=2,4 dosvc=2,4 WaaSMedicSvc=3,4 UsoSvc=2,3 BITS=3,3 EDIT/ADD to that section so that it looks like this: [Service_List] ; 2=Auto ; 3=Manual ; 4=Disabled wuauserv=2,4 dosvc=2,4 WaaSMedicSvc=3,4 UsoSvc=2,4 BITS=3,3 mpssvc=2,4 BFE=2,4 WinDefend=2,4 WdNisSvc=3,4 TimeBrokerSvc=3,4 Save the edited Wub.ini then Run as administrator the Wub.exe for 32bit OS or Wub_x64.exe for 64bit OS. Select Disable Updates, check Protect Services Settings, and click Apply Now.

Yep, you're right. I thought he meant av1. Anyway, my youtube.luac is requesting the h264 codec. And my tests were done using yt-dlp from 2026.06.10, so not the recent one.

With no replies whatsoever, the OP has left us all with no other choice but to speculate: he's decided this endeavor is too large to undertake, so he's just going to accept Win10 as a bloated mess and "live with it" or downgrade and miss out on "millions better" in capabilities. I don't want him to "give up" and nobody should ever "live with" the BLOATED MESS that we all know Win10 to be. So here, let's try this a different way. Instead of a full deboat, let's just axe the TOP FIFTEEN "usual suspects" that can bottleneck a Win10 config. Call it "baby steps", a FULL DEBLOAT is HIGHLY recommended, but sure, let's take "baby steps". These "fifteen" alone got my default as-is Win10 VM from OVER ONE HUNDRED processes (did settle to 92 eventually [took 26 minutes!]) per Task Manager down to (in-process). In the past, I've always called my configs that have not been FULLY debloated as Half Baked. 1) Windows Updates 2) Windows Updates 3) Windows Updates 4) Windows Security 5) Windows Security 6) Windows Security 7) Windows Defender 8) Windows Defender 9) Windows Action Center 10) Windows Action Center 11) Windows Firewall 12) Windows Search Indexer 13) Microsoft Edge 14) (in-process) 15) (in-process) Default As-Is (ie, original install, no steps taken yet to debloat): This is only after TWO "baby steps" (ie, two executibles to remove/disable Defender + Updates + Firewall). Low 80s process count after startup, waited same 26 minutes as above, settled down to 77. Technically, the process count was at 77 within a few minutes of startup, but seemed fair to wait the same amount of time for comparison. I'll call this Half Baked Phase 1:

for baytrail and limited systems that don't need a full install.

By KVM I assume you mean Keyboard Video Mouse meant for using multiple computers, not Kernel Virtual machine. First which model of KVM do you use? Second, is it USB or PS/2 KVM? Third what is the problem you are having? Device not detected or cannot find HID driver? If it is USB one have you tried enabling USB pass-trough and connect keyboard and mouse then? By default atleast ATEN USB KVM I used in past emulates keyboard and mouse so there is no device reinsertion event every time you change input. There is key command for setting one of the ports (usually mouse) for USB pass-trough where it acts like USB hub. I have used both ATEN USB KVM (passtrough mode) and ATEN PS/2 KVM succesfully with Windows Millenium. Although I prefer use PS/2 one as USB ones cannot be used with my 486DX2.

Do you mean AV1? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1 AVC1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding BTW, my latest version of yt-dlp is 2026.06.14
