... Due to time constraints (RL), I mostly get notified about additions to this thead via e-mail notifications (in my e-mail client, NOT browser), i.e. I don't open my browser to surf this thread as often as I used to ... I then click on the "Go to this Post" button only for those notifications I deem "urgent"; the rest, I'll visit when I have more spare time... MSFN software ONLY sends an e-mail notification the first time a reply is submitted to the thread, not on subsequent edits of the same post ; while I do agree multiple consecutive posts by the same person (resembling a "chat" room ) might appear somewhat "annoying" to some members, at least there are use cases, like mine, where they could actually serve a purpose ... Edit: OTOH, @NotHereToPlayGames could have waited until he had concluded ALL of his tests (and generated all the relevant screenshots) and then post all his findings in one single, initial, post ; no "rush" to a posting "spree" was warranted, IMHO ...

Let's not start talking about upvotes and likes again. That thread was closed for a reason, do not hijack another thread just to resurface its discussion.

This would be nice if it were true, but still this doesn't guarantee that programs and software developers will choose to continue to support Windows 7 for much longer, which is what I, at least, consider to be the primary concern in the most recent coming of years. σ(￣、￣〃) If these updates exist, I would also assume they would be purely security updates targeting POS systems, ATMs, etc. that still run 7, and that Microsoft might not offer them up to the public, making it a purely enterprise kind of thing. Truth be told, most people with Common Sense™ (and an antivirus if you're paranoid) would probably do just fine using Windows 7 nowadays anyways, security-wise at least.

@NotHereToPlayGames (and maybe some others) - not offensive, but why you're posting all these double/triple/quadruple/infinituple posts and not just click "Edit" and edit your previous post? In case of @roytam1's build posts it's understandable (although not necessary) because of structure. This drives me crazy/insane.... kind regards soggi

Microsoft ended support for its Windows 7 operating system in 2020 Microsoft's initial plan was to limit extended support to three years after support ended, but it appears that the company could extend support by another three years, making it six years in total. Our colleagues over at Deskmodder report that the July security updates KB5015861 and KB5015862 include the required ESU licenses and keys to extend support beyond the first three years. The second extension would guarantee support of Windows 7 until January 2026. Microsoft creates updates for the following Windows 7 editions as part of the extended security updates program: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Windows 7 SP1 Pro Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Windows Embedded POS Ready 7 Microsoft released the monthly and security-only cumulative updates for Windows 7 ESU systems as part of the July 2022 Patch Day. ESU updates can only be installed officially on licensed machines. Bypasses exist to install Microsoft's official updates on Windows 7 Home devices, including Windows 7 Home and Professional. Microsoft has not confirmed or denied the extension of Windows 7 ESU. Windows 7 holds a sizeable share of the desktop operating system market. Statcounter, one of the third-party companies that is tracking usage statistics, sees it at 11.54% of the Windows market share. Windows 11, Microsoft's newest operating system, sits at 10.96%, which makes Windows 7 the second most used version of Windows according to the company. It makes sense to extend support if the numbers are close to real usage numbers. Organizations may require more time to move to a new version of Windows, or another operating system. The extension gives organizations that time. Organizations who have devices with ESU can protect the devices for another three years. Microsoft announced earlier this month that it won't provide Windows 8.1 customers with a similar offer. Windows 8.1's usage share is less than 3% according to Statcounter, even though it is still officially supported. If Windows 7 support is extended by another three years, it would mean that the operating system will be supported for longer than its direct successor, Windows 8.1, and even Windows 10. Both operating systems will run out of support before 2026. Microsoft could offer support extensions for Windows 10, the most used version of Windows at the time of writing. Now You: what is your take on this? (Taken from an article by ghacks)

Although I don‘t think that Microsoft will extend the ESU Program for Windows 7 or make one for Windows 8.1, you could bypass ESU (not explaining how) and install PosReady 7 Updates on Windows 7 till October 2024 (similar to XP and PosReady 2009) and Server 2012 R2 ESU Updates on Windows 8.1 till October 2026. Due to legal reasons I‘m not recommending this, only mentioning its existence. EVEN Windows Vista AND Internet Explorer 9 (which many forget) can still receive Updates till 01/2023, by installing Server 2008 SP2 ESU on it. However, as my predecessor already said: Does Internet Explorer 9 even count as a liable browser in 2022? It can‘t even load basic websites now, so that extending it with further Security Updates was kind of unnecessary.

In theory this seems like a good idea. But keep in mind that any backdoors or other exploits not patched will keep you vulnerable. Your IP address is still public and even though you stay off of bad websites, rogue code can still make your system vulnerable to attack. Today's web is great at linking so much of you together. It's sort of like when you do a Google search of something...say cars...then you log onto Facebook and all of a sudden, you're seeing ads for cars. A couple of things that can help a bit better would be using a VPN even though that's not 100% absolute either. You can also use a hardware firewall like pfSense to help block external traffic from infiltrating your network. But you have to make sure you have it set up correctly so that it filters out what you don't want while allowing what you do want to flow into your network. It's an extra piece of hardware such as a thinclient PC or their proprietary devices, but it's definitely worth it because you can also set up something such as pfBlockerNG with it and block many rogue sites and IPs from getting through to your network in the first place. But that's getting way beyond the scope of Windows 7 support, but rather using these things are better alternatives if you're going to use an outdated operating system on the modern web. One last thing about internet security is that you'd be shocked at just how much internet activity goes on behind the scenes without your knowledge so things can happen without you even realizing it until it's too late.

@mina7601! I don't think you are entitled to make such statements, especially in relation to your age. That is solely up to the creator of this thread and the moderators or administrators. Think first, then write is my advice for you! BTW, you don't have to comment on everything. Sometimes, speech is silver, but silence is golden!

On left screen ACPI show enumerated 1A(#27) core, but in DM name translating broken on 27-32 cores. Do you can setup remote kernel debugging on this board to dump logs with custom acpi.sys?

With latest update 22621.1028 i get black screen after log in. If i disable enhanced taskbar then i don't get black screen after i log in.

The favicons show me directly which website belongs to the respective tab. Extremely useful! And, I would never waste my time to load all tabs in my session while starting my browser, so logically, browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand is set to true. But, that's not enough. For years, I always install the extension "Lull The Tabs" to unload automatically tabs which are currently not in use and to ensure that tabs are only loaded if I click onto them. All that to minimize used system resources. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: As far as I can see, your English seems to be quite good and not as bad as you claimed in my thread.

@XPerceniol, you should come back, if you wants, I would like to read your posts every day, this way to know if everything is okay with you! And surely our other friends will want to see you too... Until then, Merry Christmas and see you soon!

Oh @Dave-H, I look at your sublime avatar picture always with great pleasure... a good man, this shows. I would like to explain to you the whys and wherefores... As I've ve already written to Mina, I want to take a rest from my too much activity on your website, this has started to make me too tired. In fact, my postings were mostly to entertain our XPerceniol, and others too... but enough is enough, I apologize. I'm sorry that XPerceniol left the website, he should come back if he wants and could. Well, and this is an occasion to apologize for posts that you've seen with bad eye, surely there were quite a few... Merry Christmas and see you soon!

Just FYI, Mozilla and Microsoft distrust TrustCor root certificates in their browsers. I guess we'll have to do this manually for now in New Moon etc.: (all three of them) [Edit] After a browser restart they'll be back in the list, but untrusted. (you can check by going to `https://trustcor.com/`)

NOTE After January 10, 2023, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. We recommend that you upgrade to a later version of Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/november-8-2022-kb5020000-monthly-rollup-e0044ab3-5798-4622-973f-149e662d8b6e

All what I hope is that it succeeds. Good luck, friend!

(offtopic) Does youtube-dl.exe work on your non SSE2 hardware? Since youtube-dl hasn't released for a long time now, I have compiled it with Python 3.4.4 from the current 'master' branch, which has still recent commits. (most notably, slow downloads from YouTube are now a thing from the past) Furthermore, I've applied a patch (PR) from @dirkf, that resolves age-gate issues. Tested it and it works. See link in signature. Anyone with newer hardware might want to try my XP-compatible yt-dlp: see signature. (I'll try to keep both of them updated)
