WUMT unless scanning offline using a wsusscn2.cab file only ever produced error messages for me, or scanned forever without ever finding anything.
I assume it depends on the version of wsusscn2.cab file you have used for offline scanning. My version is of 11/12/2019 and works like a charme.

It also wiped my update history at one point, which is why I've never tried using it again!
Fortunately I had a backup.
Yes, you have to use two DataStore.edb files, one for WSUS server and one for MU web site. One for all didn't work in my system either.

Thanks for this great and in detail tutorial! I will surely link it to my all-in-one restore wu package over at MDL.
Thanks for commenting! And now I have a mathematical statement for you:
@Windows7fan = @xpandvistafan
I think after evaluation the boolean truth value has to be set to true. What do you think?
PS: I hope today is my day!1 -

Yes indeed, the more the merrier!
Option 1 has never worked for me, Option 2 does work as you know, Option 3 I don't know enough about.
I haven't tested Option 3 in my system (no need to do) but Option 1 works perfectly too such as Option 2. What's the problem with WSUS server + WUMT in your system?

Is this a simpler and easier procedure than the one outlined here by @AstroSkipper ?
I think the more the better. Now we have three working methods to access MU or WU.
1. WSUS server + WUMT method
2. Method using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy + patch made by @Windows7fan
3. Method using Windows Update website patch based on nginx for XP Service Pack 3
Absolutely great! And as @maile3241 already said the third method works with CPUs lacking SSE2 instruction set. By the way the first one too.

what is the kb hotfix fir this for XP SP3
sure i see it somewhere browsing
how well does this work on xp
what do i have to do
This thread is about Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP. You can update your Root Certificates automatically by using the Certificate Updater 1.6
or manually by using the Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater of 02/24/2022 created by me in section Downloads
It works perfectly and is intended to keep your system as recent as possible regarding your Root Certificates.
QuoteA root certificate is a digital certificate that belongs to the issuing Certificate Authority. It comes pre-downloaded in most browsers and is stored in what is called a “trust store.” The root certificates are closely guarded by CAs.
Kind regards,

Here's ProxHTTPSProxyMII v1.5 Rev3e if anyone wants it.
Credit to @heinoganda of course.
Thank you for providing a download link of ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e! I have added your link to my article above in section Downloads so that the reader has a better overview.

@WULover This thread is a support thread about Microsoft Update (MU) or Windows Update (WU). So we have reached a point where everything regarding hardware extensions is unfortunately off-topic. If you have further questions relating to your hardware, you must open your own thread with a topic of your choice. Here we can only discuss problems accessing MU. I hope I could help you and if so, I would be pleased about any reactions. Kind regards

I opened my pc and it was possible to change it.
Of course, if you can change it, do it! It should be a SSE2 capable CPU But more RAM would be important too. But be aware, your mainboard meaning the onboard socket and the current BIOS have to support the new CPU! Does the WSUS method work in your system?

Copy muweb.dll from the folder muweb.cab to system32.
Copy mucltui.dll from the folder mucltui.cab to system32.
I think you mean archive instead of folder. muweb.cab and mucltui.cab are cab archives actually.

And I like surfing the www with Microsoft Internet Explorer
Without ProxHTTPSProxy only a few sites and a lot of errors. Even with ProxHTTPSProxy not much better. IE is outdated and, sad to say, crap. You have to use Firefox 45 SSE or New Moon SSE releases.

You need an OS which supports modern browsers to surf the WWW. Windows 2000 is outdated like Windows ME either. As I told you twice before the best choice for your computer is a lightweight Linux Distribution such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). This OS supports older hardware, 32 Bit processors and more recent browsers. Otherwise you have to stay at Windows XP having very slow speed, missing some features and accepting to get system freezes from time to time.

Ok but can I change my CPU?
Your computer is too old. If 320 MB is the maximum size of RAM, then any upgrading does not make sense at all. Windows 2000 is no option too. Use your Windows XP installation and try the WSUS server method which uses WUMT to get access to MU. You can find it in this thread or here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-windows-xp-server-2003.82538/
No need then to run ProxHTTPSProxy at all!0 -

I will try this method, but i didn't installed python.
I'm not developer, so I don't know if it's needed or not.
Why do you want to install Python? You don't need that. Try the WSUS server method which uses WUMT to get access to MU. You can find it in this thread or here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-windows-xp-server-2003.82538/

I don't have SSE2 or SSE3.
Is that this the problem?
You try to run ProxHTTPSProxy REV3d built by pyInstaller. Therefore the Python version used is decisive whether your CPU is supported or not. I assume the lacking of SSE2 is probably the cause of the problem. Try the WSUS server method instead! It is working fine too.

Do I need to reinstall Microsoft Windows XP?
I do think so, unfortunately. But have you tried WSUS server method to update your installation? This method doesn't require ProxHTTPSProxy. Moreover I assume the proxy is probably incompatible to your hardware. And please provide the exact type of Intel Celeron. There are a lot of them. I need to know the full specification.

But this is a fresh install. Strange...
But maybe exactly that is the problem. A fresh install means a lot of functions and patches are missing. Or your cpu is the problem due to the lack of certain, necessary features. What CPU is working in your computer? Please provide the exact type! And you said you've expanded your RAM. Did you perform a memory test?

Do I need to install vc++ redist?
Insall .NET Framework from 1.0 to 4.0 and all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable versions from 2005 up to 2019. And Onepiece Update Package too. ProxHTTPSProxy is working in Windows XP without any problems basically. My system is fully updated POSReady updates included, and I never had a problem relating to ProxHTTPSProxy. I think in your system something is missing. But anyway, in your case the best choice is a lightweight Linux distribution due to existing hardware limitations. In my opinion, Windows XP is too demanding especially relating to RAM consumption.

When I Launch the Proxy, Windows says that the program have to be closed and the Proxy close.
Did you set up the proxy properly following the instructions? How did you start the proxy? Which version of Windows XP is installed in your computer? What is the state of updates? No detailed information, no help is possible! And I wrote a lot before, but no statements from you what I suggested: OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack, Linux Q4OS (Trinity Desktop) and so on. Truth be told, not much fun helping you!

The HTTPS proxy crash
Sorry, but this is no sentence and does not make any sense. A string of one or four words has nothing to do with detailed information.

I upgraded to 320MB of RAM yesterday, so the RAM problem doesn't exist anymore)
If I wanted to use such old hardware with only 320MB of RAM, I would install a lightweight version of Linux such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). You can find it here: https://q4os.org/
In my opinion Windows XP can be installed on such hardware, and simple things can be done there, but it won't be fun if you want to use such a system basically. Modern software have much higher RAM consumption than older one. For surfing the WWW for example you need modern browsers and your size of RAM will let the system extremely slowing down or freezing completely. And an OS like Windows ME is unfortunately no solution either. I have such a Win ME partition too, but surfing the modern web doesn't make any fun or any sense at all.1 -

Please be a bit more detailed! I guess you got this error code while trying to access MU web site. If so, you should follow these instructions completely and carefully:
You must not skip any step.

On decommissioning of update servers for 2000, XP, (and Vista?) as of July 2019
in Windows XP

My version of 11/12/2019 is probably the same that you have used from November 2019. Then it works offline with this version but using WSUS server + WUMT doesn't work in your system. Is that correct?
