You can access the same build here ; BTW, that link is contained within the following get_iplayer mailing list post: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2017-May/010711.html I am the author of that post, also the person who compiled that FFmpeg build; now I don't want to bring up plagiarism into this discussion, but it seems the internet is such a small place after all Just compare, if you will (posted Dec 28th, 2017): to (posted May 10th, 2017): FWIW, MSFN forum member @CoRoNe compiles and offers, out of pure comradeship, recent, XP compatible, FFmpeg builds, though his are optimised for older processors ; he has, not long ago, announced new builds in another thread, here is his post Enjoy!

I don't know what that machinepolicy trigger is supposed to be, just noticed it causes the service to start on cold boot. I didn't take Windows Defender into account, just assumed it would work after seeing it didn't reset on reboot. What about taking the ownership of the file, disabling inherited permissions and just set one entry - Everyone - to allow just read-only access? Scheduled Start task by itself doesn't do anything beyond starting the service. I also don't remember ever seeing the service updating Windows Update state if updates were disabled, always have to check manually. No idea what messes with those tasks; I noticed it gets enabled on reboot with Windows Defender service disabled, so some core component/service must be responsible.

I'm sure I'll be worth the trouble. SC.EXE and perhaps NirSoft's NIRCMD.EXE may help you at that. As well as a little hand from @jaclaz, of course! I bet you'll get it working sooner than you imagine!

So I removed the System write/modify permissions on the task file under System32\Tasks. Then I deleted the "Custom Trigger" in Scheduled Start", and also set ahead the date for December 28, 2023. I can now save changes. It's still disabled. However, let's see if anything changes now if I leave it for awhile, or restart Windows 8. Here's hoping!

Have a look here at MDGx's site (Win98 page). Find any updates that you are specifically looking for and note the KB (Knowledge Base) number associated with the update(s) you are searching for. Use MDGx's Hotfix Request Form to see if the Spanish version of any of the updates are still available. If this doesn't work, you might try searching the web for the specific file names of any updates you're looking for. (example: KB# = 168115; English Hotfix name 168115US8.EXE [kb#+lang/country+8{windows 98}.exe]; not sure offhand what replaces "US" in Spanish filenames) If this doesn't work I'm not sure what else might help. If you do find any updates, be sure to archive them and upload them somewhere where others may benefit before they are lost forever.

Because Task Scheduler GUI doesn't understand custom triggers. If you delete it, it works. Windows Update service has a trigger defined that will start it under certain circumstances; remove it with: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete start/machinepolicy For the task being recreated/overwritten problem, disable it in Task Scheduler first then take away write permission for the SYSTEM account on the file C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\Scheduled Start.

If that works, great! However, my reasoning was: if the thing gets recreated, there's someone doing it. Of course, that "someone" is not a person, but it must be a system agent aka "service". And, since I have my own degree of paranoia, it ocurred to me the worst case ought to be if the service in question were some you'd not want to disable, like the "Windows Defender" background service, whatever its name may be on Win 8. In that case, creating a "deleting scheduled task" might be the only possible workaround. Then again, there are many rosier scenarios that can be envisaged, besides the pessimistic one I just described. At the end of the day, only your careful experimenting and tweaking may lead us to know which is the case. But it sure is an interesting problem I'll be sure to kepp following. Unfortunately, I can not contribute with experiments myself, because I don't own any Win 8 at the moment, and, at work they went on to 8.1 already (and I'd have to root the system, which I'd rather not do)... OTOH, of course, I'm grateful they've stopped at 8.1 at work and did not jump into the ugly juggernaut of Win 10!

Java has been updated today October 16, 2018 to Version 8 Update 191. First, download the last known working XP installer (http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/EOL/jre-8u152-windows-i586.exe), then download the latest updated tar.gz file here https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html or my FTP http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/EOL/java/. Installer packages after Version 8 Update 152 do NOT work correctly on XP, so to manually update to the current version follow the instructions here: Or here:
