hmm I guess the "base" for SP1 (17514) should be left too ?

it should be, classic shell was, and still is backbone to everything else if you find a way to remove DWM, you'll see this effect shit i'd use dud(.exe) just for the lulz to see what would happen any api call would shut down imediately so you'd either get classic shell (broken) or explorer crashing

ah my mistake, i switched words but main point stays if older update was KB73458 newer would be either higher number or KB73458-v2 (-v3... etc) so its still sorted by "whats latest"

well in my win7 SP1 with integrated fixes up to 9th month 2015 there is no GWX folder in logs seems like 9nth month was last "clean", after that all i see on forums is this pushing "10" as for Defender, dunno why people even use that garbage...

they are in chronological order since KB's come with numbers, newer patch over old, gets either higher number or same with "-v2"

@NoelC I meant, you have mixture of .net now within VB/CPP so you can use "newest api" yes I know there are workarounds for ver6 well main point was, there is no native or pure win32 support for these new vs's its all for .net s***, and even VB 6 is not supported anymore in terms of patching and MS doesn't care of it and they did write they dropped support for it, but it still seems its apps and runtimes run on NT6/10

thats why there is start /wait command if win7 is anything smart it will overwrite old files with new ones additionally user can use that KB that integrates into disk cleanup to remove unused garbage

In my humble dumble opinion, that depends in which prog interface you do coding visual studio without .net (VS 6, or Broland delphi prods)is/are compatible up to win 2003 but VB6 is STILL supported up to winblows 10, while all these new visual studios based on .net are ... i guess every shit compatible from vista and up unfortunately that is not the main problem main problem is that MS is still usin win32 api without supporting it in vcpp/vb so you're basically doomed to .net crap, which is again worse, as theres no backward compatibility so yeah... install 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.2, 4.5, 4.6 ... and so on or those idiots could simply update win32 api and theres no need for gigabyte of junk but rather 30 MB tops, and you get same shit

there is download WU downloader (think MDL has it, google it) then when it scans what you need, you can choose what to download (as it dumps updates in 1 folder) then run CMD from that folder, and type dir /B > _update.BAT now hit F5 within that folder, on top you will have _update batch file with listed all downloaded updates inside now right click on _update.bat and select Edit, now notepad will open 1st delete _update.bat from the list, then do Edit -> Replace, 1st box type KB 2nd box type START /WAIT KB press REPLACE ALL button ------- now again Edit -> Replace, 1st box type .msu 2nd box type .msu /quiet /norestart press REPLACE ALL now do File -> Save, exit notepad and run _update.bat file

What?

mmm pc's will never drop dumbest example: you can't have gaming rig stiffed into mobile phone or tablet and nVidia and AMD with other minors thrive from this then comes RAM then come SSD disks now lets go software based, you can't program normal on something that doesn't have phisical keyboard and a pointer, so no programming, no 2 and 3D graphics, no multimedia (videos) processing actually no nothing... this will only change in hologram "world", but home users won't see or even have this 50 more years AT LEAST, 100 years if humanity lives so much , maybe

there wouldn't be driver problems if those morons didn't on purpose renamed kernel from 6.3 to 10 both "8" and "10" could have used legacy "7" driver, which would make manufacturers prolonged support for "7" as for "7" being old, well shit, RTM sucked and was plagued with some bugs, SP1 fixed this then it takes AT LEAST 1 year for market to accept the OS, so thats like 3 years after 2009, so technically OS is in circulation 5 years if it had SP2 it would be longer, but yeah let them ditch it in favor of crapware

hospitals here use Server 2003 supermarkets use XP some private practices use "7" departement for un-employedes (or whatever its called) use XP IRS (in my country) use "7" I haven't seen yet anyone in state business using anything above "7" even our goverment use "7"

if you're using ordinary magnetic hard drive, then its slower with SP1 (but that is like in miliseconds ? ) - depends how old it is if you're on SSD then its the same SP1 only gives hotfixes, not features or tweaks, but with that it also increases number of some system files hence why ordinary HDD has to seek/read more then again if you tweak it yourself (SP1) it can be faster than originally shipped just like XP did via nLite

thats not what I asked

was wondering, is there a method/way to determine if blur gets disabled when "no transparency" is selected ? or if anyone knows if it does ?

well here we don't care from where he gets it ... torrents is my best bet but oh well... by trial testing I meant install it and use it for some time... hell I already wrote all this, the fuck am I repeating this

Well, if you believe that you shouldn't be surprised that in order to have a secureboot shim signed/certified you need Silverlight (among another number of "queer" requisites), allow me to say: WHAT THE f*** ???? well they are digging their own grave, I don't care win7 is my last NT OS, I will have, later I will probably force myself to learn s***ty linux but better "s***ty" than "total dog s***" too bad Snow Leopard wasn't made for PC's

I'm not into a fight but that slower difference is maybe by 0.5 to 1 second and office work what he says he does, doesn't require astronomy PC as I wrote, if he is so eager into 7, he can always trial-date it (tho I'd never use full original clunky version hahaha, but thats just me)

nothing new from M$ they always forced their crap onto people

winblinds > styler maybe you can do same shit on winblows 8/10

any dual core CPU (like has) and 2 GB RAM (like he has) will run win7 ok only GPU we don't know (for DWM), as basic theme engine is broken in 7, wait I already wrote this shit above.... point is if he wants to try win7 for his OFFICE related stuff, let him try... it ain't illegal to download and use trial version of 7 and rearm it 3 times thats 270 days if i'm not mistaken, plenty of time to see how it runs for him

ractos is limited to NT 5 kernel wine as far as i know is shit, hence why i wrote INVEST money in making proper one and metro... thats not qualified to be called an app

just like they didn't allow changing skin since XP doubt they will allow boot screen to be changeable in other words, they are manipulative asshats

I guess they were smoking pot when doing those things then
