It does exactly that. I'm not sure why you everyone has selective blindness but that's not a feature meant to take front row.

@AstroSkipper About Comodo Internet Security 10.2.0.6514. I have missed this one from my source: https://ufile.io/ag9ppyqe Regards

I am sure someone will figure some other way to get the updates ported sooner or later. I wouldn't worry too much

well bad news everyone.. from recent youtube videos I've watched recently (from early september) there has been reports that the server 2012 updates on have since been entirely blocked from installing on windows 8 and making then completely unusable anymore.. microsoft released somekind of past end of support update to patch the registry function that allowed this so they can't run anymore

StartMenuMonitor = (DWORD)1 in HKCU\SOFTWARE\StartIsBack

Yeah, and that's bad.

just found Powershell 7.3.10 works on windows 8.0

That's alright. I already have the LTSC 2019 box setup, customized, pared down and ready to go for use next year, so I'll stick with it. Plus the LTSC 2016 won't have support updates for as long, And I hear the more recent LTSC builds have a much fatter and bloated Windows Defender implementation that causes a performance hit.

No I actually prefer ESR versions. They stay with the same feature set, and userChrome.css changes to the UI are set. Otherwise, I'd have to make changes every three weeks. Plus I'm staying on Windows 8 for the meantime, not Windows 8.1

My understanding is if I skipped that month's update (I think it was April 2018), I would have the following updates, and not the one with Spectre/Meltdown patches. I never used the rollups. Anyway, everything worked out fine

Not the end. Not yet. At least while we can run "Wine on Windows". https://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/607714.html https://web.archive.org/web/20090110105132/http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows I know WSL is only available for > w10, but we have Cygwin, MinGW.... Building Firefox with msys2 https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/discussions/10526#discussioncomment-5350944 example with a non supported version of filezilla (seen here in msfn):

I thought so. I had resigned to not using it, as I knew that October 2023 updates were going to be the last ones generally available. I have turned off the Windows Update service, since I now just manually update Windows Defender. So I'm going to run the OS as is for the remainder of the year. I'm still getting updates for Firefox ESR 115, so we're good until September there. I'm OK that I can't use these new ESU updates for Windows 8. I always installed the "Security Only Update" and not the rollups, since that allowed me to bypass the Spectre, Meltdown and Flash patches. End of an era. Next year I'll move to Windows 10 LTSC 2019. I'll miss ya Windows 8.

Hopefully what I'm asking is not in violation of the forum terms and conditions: Has anyone on Windows 8 attempted downloading and installing the November 14, 2023 update (KB5032247), which is the Monthly Rollup? I have turned off Windows Update, now that October 2023 has come and gone. I didn't wish to act as a guinea pig this time, but I am interested if it still installs, without any tools or patches.

See:

actually it does, there are changes that preventing it to work in XP: 1. mozilla removes large chunks of code for XP while adding non-XP compatible APIs usage 2. rust compiler can't produce XP compatible code

you may reset "shell.checkDefaultClient" in about:config, close browser, set IE as default, reopen browser and it should ask you to set default.

yeah, thats not the same as right click -> page info -> permissions which has no problem. anyway, this is fixed in repo and next build should have this fix applied.

it's not that simple as replacing functions, many of them are done in pure assembly. unless sseplus uses system-wide trap or this can't be done.

I did think about adding code to ignore WASM related prefs when SSE2 is not detected.

new path should be "%appdata%\OpenSource\MailNews" and "%appdata%\OpenSource\BNavigator"

because it doesn't refresh to new version unless a full rebuild is done.

I think you can just move profiles.ini and Profiles folder from old prefix to new prefix and it will happily load your old profile.
