Calm down folks!

Steven: I wish I could help you but i'm more of a hardware guy than software. I hate to say this and maybe i'm wrong but I might be the only one DL the updates? Plus from jan. to may every year I snowbird to Florida so I dont make iso's those 4 months. If I'm the only one making use of your talents then I understand if you have to shut it down. I guess I'll survive by just seeing what new updates my computer installs after every patch Tuesday and get them from microsoft catalog. more work but that's the only thing I can think of. But if you can update WUD it would be GREAT. thanks again for all the time and effort you are putting into this. ps.. I just tried dl kb5094126 with WUD and it doesn't DL. I've noticed this happening at least the last 3 months of using WUD. it seems the large cumulative msu doesn't DL anymore. I've been going to the catalog to get them. Maybe its my system, but I doubt it... regards...

And what’s the situation on the Windows XP front?

Yesterday, as a test for my projects, I downloaded a subtitle separately from YouTube using @nicolaasjan's yt-dlp. It was the first time I’d had to solve JavaScript challenges. After a thorough analysis of the logs, I installed QuickJS and was then able to download the subtitle successfully. However, it was anything but straightforward or quick. I timed how long it took to solve the JavaScript challenges, and it was a staggering 30 seconds on my Windows XP machine. Yet another reason to condemn Google to hell. However, the JavaScript challenges are only triggered under certain conditions. My ytBATCH for Windows XP downloads YouTube videos with subtitles, metadata and thumbnails without any problems and very quickly. I also tested that yesterday. So, for the time being, there’s no reason for me to implement QuickJS in my ytBATCH for Windows XP. If Google is to sabotage that too and no reasonable solution exists, I will discontinue the projects in question. P.S.: QuickJS 2025-09-13 even took 45 seconds on my machine contrary to the 30 seconds using QuickJS 2026-06-04.

Hi soggi, good to see you back.

I do hope so, too! Unfortunately, it's a lot of work. Changing code leads to the need of changing other code, and so on. I modified and cleaned up nearly all self-created programs. And I found bugs which apparently did not occur during the beta test.

Hello to all! Although my program package eventually passed the beta test, I still had to make significant changes due to false positives of several AV scanners: All unnecessarily embedded files have been removed from my self-created executables. Changes in calling up other programs. In all my affected programs, protection against code injection has been improved. This leads to preventing of future "space bugs", too! Different issues which could have been noticed only in very rare cases, have been fixed. All unnecessary code has been removed. New bugs I additionally found have been fixed. Autostart entries of PopMenu and the new Min2Tray, automatically added to the registry by my configuration program, have been fixed in regards to the "space bug". All message windows of my programs have been resized and adjusted for a better visibility. All my self-created program files have been recompiled by using a different compiler. All these measures have led to a reduction in the number of false positives reported by AV scanners. Now I am testing deeply my program package from scratch. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @George King! That was the very first action I did! I removed unnecessarily embedded files from all self-created programs. But anyway, thanks for the hint!

I totally agree! All files self-compiled from batch sources are considered to be intrinsically vulnerable by AV scanners. Of course! But these files aren't more or less liked by AV scanners than my other ones. Hope dies last!

Using a different compiler I could reduce the false positives of OpenLANSet.exe from 19 to 15. No false positives from Avast and Malwarebytes anymore!

A few code changes, and the results are different! Unfortunately, opening and closing of the IE Proxy Settings easily is a wanted function. If I left it out, these two programs would be senseless.

Ok, thanks for your opinion! I'll try to reduce these false positives as much as I can. Important for me are only established, well-known AV scanners, the big players in this business.

Sorry, you're righr! Confgure PopMenu.exe, of course! Too much proxy in my head! I already know these results, and that wasn't the problem, either. I am interested in your opinion about these results.
