Yes, it was me. I discovered the problem. Now I have to rely on R3DFOX.

I did not see it happen here (with Serpent 52.9).

At least 3 people have the issue, including myself. It only happens on Iron (on win 7 but not Win 10), not Firefox or Chrome for me. I don't know what triggers it, I don't know how to intercept that.

Never happened to me. Could be a redirect malware lurking on your PC? The one that edits HOSTS, for example.

Confirmed and reported

It all depends on the motherboard and the USB 3.0 controller in the chipset. If you have a specific hardware in mind, please provide the model number of the device if it is a laptop/OEM PC, or the model number of the motherboard. Then I'll try to find something.

Chromium 146.0.7679.0 still have MV2 support --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2DeprecationWarning,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled,ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported in shortcut.

The more I visit the browser section of this forum, the more I wonder if everyone is okay. Some people seem to have a persecution complex, in the form of a panic-stricken fear of surveillance. I recommend going outside and touching the grass. All threads in browsers section are full of off-topic posts related to this. I'm writing about this because it irritates me terribly. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find anything actually related to browsers in these threads.

Unapplicable legal snippets. msfn.org is an international forum, not a USA forum. My Ancient Version of Kaspersky is definitely not an unlawful program for me or for the great majority here at msfn.org. Why don't you wear a head scarf in your msfn.org picture, to obey Iranian Islamic Law, to avoid offending strict Moslems? Maybe you should tell your fellow Canadians to stop travelling to Cuba in winter, because U.S. laws declare tourism to Cuba as illegal. There are good laws and bad laws. Would you have obeyed in 1935, as a good Canadian, the German Nuremburg Laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws and betrayed Jews to German concentration camps? Would you have obeyed in 1964, as a good Canadian, the United States Jim Crow laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws ordaining racial segregation and racial discrimination? There is no need to commiserate here with the lack of freedom of U.S. subjects. This is an international technical forum. Hopefully, U.S. subjects will eventually get their freedom back. And no more unapplicable legal advice from a U.S. fifth column in Canada.

You're absolutely right. My fault. I've already corrected that. Of course I didn't mean AU service but simply AU. Sorry for misleading!

You shouldn't disable Automatic Updates service, you simply have to disable Automatic Updates in your control panel. @Dave-H Automatic Updates service should always be started and has to be set to auto. My system event log never showed this error and it doesn't show up now either. I just checked that.

You shouldn't disable Automatic Updates service, you simply have to turn off Automatic Updates via control panel.

Hi @Dave-H, I don't know whether you've already tried my fix or not, but just to clarify it, my recommended fix is meant to solve the disappearance of AU notification shield in systray. In my system the fix did its job perfectly. AU notification shield didn't disappear anymore. Additionally I had the hope it would solve the error message with Event ID 16 too. But that does not seem to be the case. It had disappeared in my log, but after two days it came back as in yours. After a bit deeper examination the reason for this error message is totally clear. Case 1: System is set to "No proxy". AU tries to download a file called wuident.cab from link https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v11/3/win7sp1/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab. But without ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy, no chance. This leads to the error 0x80072efe and, after two days of trying, to Event ID 16. Case 2: System is set to use ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy "system-wide". Now AU is able to download file wuident.cab, but due to its invalid signature AU can't verify this file which leads to the error 0x80096010 and, after two days of trying, to another Event ID. BTW It would be the wrong version anyway. Unfortunately the address of a matching version is http://download.windowsupdate.com/v11/3/legacy/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab or http://www.update.microsoft.com/v11/3/legacy/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab We, you and me, are using the method of patch in combination with one of our proxies. The patch in combination with all additional steps restores successfully access to MU web site using IE8. But the creator of this patch didn't take account of AU's malfunction. Case 3: Same proxy settings as in case 2. Due to download of wrong file version I modified the patch i.e. I changed some registry keys the patch had created. After these changes, AU could download and verify wuident.cab successfully, but wasn't able to download the next file, called wsus3setup.cab. Microsoft had deleted the file on the server which AU wanted to download from, therefore it leads to error 0x80190194. Conclusion: Either the patch will be modified to restore AU's functionality in online searching, or AU will only be able to find updates offline after a successful and cached search of MU. Provided that we use patch plus proxy method, AU notification pop-up shield can only remind us to download and install the updates MU has found in its search before. If you want to get rid of these errors in your system event log in any case, you have to turn off Automatic Updates in AU applet located in control panel. And one thing we know for a long time: What shall AU still find today? In a fully updated system, simply nothing. In other systems where updates are still missing, AU's notification pop-up shield can be taken as a reminder. And installation of updates by using AU is working fine as usual. Kind regards, AstroSkipper PS: In logical consequence, I turned off AU (via applet in control panel) in my fully updated system, as I used to do it before. I don't need AU trying to download a wrong file in background without any success. So bye, bye AU!

Windows Event Logs and their Event IDs Due to the circumstance that eventid.net doesn't exist anymore (shutdown years ago) an alternative source or database is necessary to search for Windows Event IDs in case of system errors and warnings. Best alternative database: https://kb.eventtracker.com/. Others: https://www.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/securitylog/encyclopedia/, https://www.myeventlog.com/, http://www.chicagotech.net/wineventid.htm.

Hi @Dave-H, I'll publish a fix relating to AU and its notification pop-up shield in my new thread tonight. After applying my fix and instructions, these warnings shouldn't appear in your Windows System Log anymore. But one thing has to be mentioned: due to patched wuaueng.dll AU does not seem to be able to connect online with the Microsoft servers anymore. Only in offline mode AU detects updates, which seem to have been found in the last update search via MU website and cached. In my Windows System Log this error 16 doesn't appear anymore. PS: Ready! Here is the link: If you have any problems while applying my fix, please post it in my new thread! https://msfn.org/board/topic/183498-general-and-specific-solutions-for-problems-regarding-auwumu-in-windows-xp/ Kind regards, AstroSkipper
