	Your system supports and uses the feature Hyper-Threading with which one physical microprocessor behaves like two logical, virtual cores. Maybe, the 360Chrome browser runs differently on such systems similar to real multi-core processors, resulting in lower RAM consumption. Just a theory! Maybe, there are other members here who can confirm or refute my theory. I would be very interested!1 point

	I love how literally no one voted 2004 or 20H2. Personally I like LTSC 2019 (1809) as it is the last "smooth" version of Windows 10 while also having a semi-modern look (poor take I know)1 point

	Oh, looked everywhere but there...it's enabled in default config (starting out with empty User Data). Edit: BTW, --use-gl=desktop is presumably deprecated in recent Chrome versions since there's an error about not allowed implementation on chrome://gpu (tried on work laptop with latest Chrome) and I get the same error in XP in this 360Chrome build about that missing WGL function, like on Vista. There goes the idea of having functional HW accel through OpenGL.1 point

	And System Physical Memory without browser, please? - did you read my last post with the values, in the previous page at the bottom, please?1 point

	KB4019276 was later superseded (replaced) by KB4056564, although I had no issues with the earlier update. IE9 would still be a very poor browser, but this could be helpful for any software that uses IE’s engine or relies on the OS for decryption of TLS 1.2.1 point

	You want updates that are “needed” or “essential” for what purpose? If you just want to install the extended kernel, then TSNH is an authority (see his Guide - Vista extended kernel installation). However, if you are a security fanatic who believes that Windows must be “fully patched,” then I’m afraid it’s rather late to call yourself a “legacyfan.” I never discuss ESU updates released after January 2020 that were intended for enterprise customers who paid for an ESU license, but I can tell you that they are ending in January 2023. You won’t find those in greenhillmaniac’s repository, which I believe was last updated in December 2019. If I understand correctly, there will soon be no current patches for anything older than Windows 10; and Microsoft never stated that patches released in previous decades are sufficient to keep Windows secure. It is perhaps worth mentioning that Microsoft sounded an especially loud alarm about the BlueKeep vulnerability (CVE-2019-0708). It might therefore be advisable to install the update that Microsoft expressly suggested at the link. I believe the monthly rollups were cumulative, so any rollup released after May 2019 should serve just as well. For those who would rather not bother, disabling the Terminal Services service was the suggested mitigation.1 point

	personally I would add the update/s that add tls 1.2 support, i think it was kb4019276 but you need to use regedit to actually enable it in internet explorer1 point

	You should check out this repository by @greenhillmaniac: The most "essential" updates are KB4493730, KB4474419 for extended kernel and KB4019478 - D3Dcompiler update.1 point

	Good news! YouTube Search on 360Chrome v11 works again, I guess it was just a temporary thing that got fixed after few days.1 point

	BTW, would there by any way to get this version of Office, which still works for Windows 8.1, to install on Windows 7? I am using the latest supported version 2002.1 point

	Your "period-correct" is BETA STAGE. Or a "first gen" car where everybody knows you wait for the third-gen so that all the bugs are worked out. "First Gen" spends way too much time in "warranty repair" HASSLES. Most of the rest of us, our computers may not be as OLD as yours (most are "younger" by a mere few years!), but they came with XP installed on them, that "qualifies" them as 'period-correct'. Mine is actually a retired office computer and it did come with XP x64. Though I do agree, most users running XP are not running x64. Hades, even just a short MONTH ago, my brother who works for a mom-and-pop "PC Repair" shop, didn't even know an x64 version of XP existed! I make fun of him all the time for being the LEAST TECH-SAVVY of all of us brothers/sisters, yet HE is the one working in a "PC Repair" shop. His primary role seems to ALWAYS be to talk people into upgrading to the "latest-and-greatest" instead of actually REPAIRING their PC, but I digress. In statistics, and not to sound "mean" (waka waka waka) - your computer would be the outlier, not the mean. edit - adhering too strictly to self-imposed definitions of "period-correct" reminds me of a scene in "Shawshank Redemption" and being 'obtuse'1 point

	greetings all, we found the related information that caused that problem even tho we have no inside information, the information i posted is incredible accurate so here is what microsoft did, it probaly is useful information to know https://github.com/microsoft/STL/pull/1194/commits/faa3434d7e748fcfdc253ad2788a0e4fddfea105 explain that __crtInitializeCriticalSectionEx(&_M_critical_section, 4000, 0); // to InitializeCriticalSectionEx(&_M_critical_section, 4000, 0); it also explains why the dependency walker for versions up to 16.7 show a try to search for that functions (meant is that there these functions where found on dependency walker but not in the import list)1 point

	Yeah, I had a friend in Texas and South Carolina - In New England here and the storm is heading up here. Stay warm and safe, please. Ugh ... thinking about my DD Father and, I don't know ... just, I don't know, just, sort of wish I went with him sometimes. I don't know, just very sad tonight. Feel empty and, yeah.1 point

	Off-topic: For adding single values, you can't use the sigma on your calculator. This function is meant to calculate a sum value in the sigma notation. For that, you need a start value, an index, an end value and a term which usually depends on the index. For example, the Gauss sum:1 point

	Personally I feel like Windows 7 is somewhat usable in 2023, however I wouldn't use it for anything sensitive like banking due to the obvious security risks. As well as that, Chrome is dropping support for Windows 7, which is kind of a deal breaker for me as I have to use the G Suite for school and it doesn't run properly on Firefox.1 point

	We need moderator to intervene and appoint someone to maintain the first post since OP is banned and some information are already outdated. So, is anyone up to the task in maintaining the list?1 point

	Why? There are a lot of people (like me) collecting old hardware, you even could have made some money out of it. kind regards soggi1 point

	OSs like 2000 hang around because they tend to work right out of the box. Not only that they install on much older hardware. I had W2k loaded years ago on a Pentium 133 with only 145mbs ram. Today you could barely render the simplest websites with that if you could even find a workable browser. Just for fun I fired it up recently and managed to get Firefox 31esr to load some sites before finally throwing it away in the dumpster. Millions of people around the world still rely on older hardware; maybe not quite as bad but not necessarily modern by current standards either so we'll be seeing third party support for w2k and even 98se for years to come yet.1 point
