We have success. I have updated Windows Defender. and attempted running a manual update. BITS and Windows Update come on as needed, and then go back off eventually. Both services are set to Manual. But most importantly, the Scheduled Task entry never regenerates or starts. It has remained "Disabled" I want to thank everyone for their help. @UCyborg, @dencorso and @HarryTri, I appreciate all of your help.

looks like the Windows 10 v1809 October 2018 Update seems to be released prematurely as a bunch of serious problems came up: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-prepares-re-release-windows-10-october-2018-update https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-october-2018-update-problems-complaints https://www.windowscentral.com/fix-blue-screen-death-after-getting-october-patch-tuesday-windows-10 (warning: do NOT install nor update to the 1809 version if using any HP brand computer...yet) https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-has-pulled-windows-10-october-2018-update-users-files-go-missing

Hi again all - sorry for the inactivity (again). Had a lot going on IRL lately. Anyway, not really much has changed in terms of software compatibility for Windows Vista in these past few weeks since Firefox 52 stopped being updated, however, there is one thing I should point out: Users of Sophos Endpoint Security & Control on Windows Vista might want to be looking for other alternatives, as the software will soon no longer be supported on Windows Vista after October 31, 2018, as pointed out here. I'm not sure about other Sophos products at the moment but I'll post back here if/when I find any information regarding Windows Vista support. Thanks again guys for keeping this topic alive and helping me keep it up-to-date. Hope to be posting more frequently from now on now that things have finally settled down in my personal life!

roytam1 has expressly stated that this is a Mozilla bug and they have not been able to sort it out.( Or maybe they can't be arsed ) Quite recently a friend of mine ( windows 7, latest Mozilla version ) mentioned that you tube videos freeze at about 46 minutes. I reckon I will have to check that with my other PC OS win 7 64 bits. I do not know when though. Cheers

You shouldn't need to restart the stream, just hitting the left arrow key and then the right arrow key should do it - this jumps you 5 seconds back and then 5 seconds forward to where you were before (in case some other page element has focus, you may need to click on the video first). It's still an annoyance, but much less disruptive this way. I pretty much do it on autopilot at this point, after years of practice courtesy of Mozilla. This works at most other video sites as well. since most players bind these keys similarly.

I have mine set that way too, on both versions of Windows. Most sites are on TLS 1.2 now but there are a few that still need TLS 1.0. Personally, I wish there was an option to have TLS 1.0 enabled, but with some sort of visual cue that the site was using a less-secure protocol. But with Win XP, I'll take what I can get these days.

Just wanted to report back... Since the 1479 experimental release, I have experienced 0 crashes and system seems to run smoothly...as if it is taking no impact on performance (AG extension loader=0.2MB/DWM=22MB) Thanks for the hard work bigmuscle and looking forward to the final release (Ha...final, that is the wrong word. It'll never be final because MS keeps jacking it up) ...but thanks for the continuing efforts towards the game of cat-and-mouse.

This bug also exists in Firefox 52.x ESR + Adobe Primetime on XP. I don't know what the cause is though.

I do, but I announce them on Zeranoe's forum. I try to release a new build every 4 months or so. I'm using 3DYD's LAV Filters fork for WinXP. Maybe their code/changes can help you with that.

That's strange, I just re-enabled Windows Defender, updated its definitions and the task did stay disabled. At least on my end, the only other user with write access to the file is the administrators group, so nobody except me should be able to modify it. Though setting just Everyone to read-only access should be the most thorough action that can be accomplished by messing with permissions alone. The only Windows 8 installations I have for testing is Windows 8.0 with zero updates and Windows 8.1 with only security updates 'till December 2017. There should be something out there available to monitor file access. Process Monitor perhaps? Maybe it can help determine what changes the task. Edit: Forgot to mention, I noticed having Windows Defender enabled does cause Windows Update service to start at boot, that is, with both scheduled task disabled and that machine policy trigger removed.
