get it updated manually one-by-one it's very difficult. ... Vistaboy: After you've installed Vista SP2, the regular Vista Windows Update (available on your Start Menu) will download a wad of updates, typically several hundred, that will bring your system up to April 2017. Note that you should run the System Update Readiness Tool and the four or five "speed up" updates before trying to get Win Update to do its thing, otherwise you'll be twiddling your thumbs for a couple of days waiting for stuff to happen. AFTER THAT, you can begin to look for Win Server 2008 updates -- maybe at the Microsoft Update Catalog, if that's to your taste or happen to be looking for some non-Vista files, or from GreenHillManiac's collection if you want to keep things simple. Anotther word of advice: Windows Vista does not like to run MSU update files while the the Windows Update window is open, so before you tackle the the WE2008 updates go to WU Settings and turn everything applicable to OFF. Then dig in. More advice: I'd suggest that after every three or four updates you reboot the system rather than try to get everything all at once, Not a manditory requirement, but my experience is that the first patch installs quickly, and the next ones take a bit longer. So my rule of thumb is to devote an hour or two to Vista patches and other installations, then reboot, and repeat the process. You should be all done in a day or so. Then you can go back to the WU Settings and restore them to the original values. If you're running Windows Defender or Microsoft Office, you'll get an occasional update through this channel afterwards-- maybe a couple every month, maybe less. And you'll be even with the rest of us. And we'll have to call you Vista Man!

First install the updates from this topic, to make Windows Update search for all of the updates you need faster: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-update/why-has-vista-stopped-automatic-updates/42c98c78-157b-44b7-858a-3ba92933cb90 Then run WU and install all it offers (no telemetry is contained in any update, so it's all good). Then download my repository and use the script I included at the root of it to install updates (if I recall correctly, you have to open it and change the directory it uses to install all of the updates in a folder). After all that you should have an up to date Vista install with no vulnerabilities whatsoever (in practice, anyway)

Another month, another batch of patches (try saying that three times in a row!) Added Monthly Rollup, KB4463097 (located on the root directory of the repository) Added Security Only Update, KB4463104 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced Internet Explorer Cumulative Update KB4462949 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced .NET Framework Security and Quality with: -KB4457007 for .NET 2.0 SP2 (located in "/NET 2.0 SP2/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4457019 for .NET 4.5.2 (located in "/NET 4.5.2/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4457016 for .NET 4.6-4.6.1 (located in "/NET 4.6-4.6.1/Security and Quality Rollup") I've decided to not include the Preview of Monthly Rollups MS releases in the middle of each month, mostly due to stability concerns (usually MS uses those releases to test the waters by releasing telemetry and/or new bugfixes).
