    So @greenhillmaniac what was the consensus on this? What I'd like to find out (without you going to a whole boat load of trouble) is what these patches do. That way I can pick and choose relevant ones for my needs. Any information or links would be appreciates. I can also PM you an email address if that's m,ore appropriate. Cheers!

    I have installed the following: KB4338380, KB4340937, KB4340939, KB4341832, KB4343674, and KB4344104 For .NET v2.0 I installed the KB4346743 that mike_shupp mentioned, in addition to KB4344176 for this month. IE9 was offered KB4343205, and I installed it. Vista has rebooted and lived to tell about it. So I will partake in September's updates (or it could just be a unified update, we'll have to wait and see). Then I will be leaving you fine folks on my way to a newer machine with Windows 8.

    Oh that's fine (hosting them altogether for easy access). I don't need a list or anything. I was wondering if the legality question of your repository would come up. :(

    So what if it's hosted on the Windows 8 update repository that Gereenhillmaniac hosts? I just want somewhere I can go through an easy list and decide what I want and don't want to install. :) (This is not me making a demand, by the way. I just wondered if that were possible)

    Is it a lot of work, or could you easily just post links for them? I could see a couple of them being useful, but these are only if you experience the issue at hand, right? :)

    Is anyone in Vista still not getting YouTube videos to play on v28, until they pause and press play again? Any solutions?
  7. Jody Thornton
    Not at all. I didn't install the new ones (in fact it says they are not intended for my OS). But I've been issue-free,

    Just a heads up that Microsoft reissued and replaced most July 11 updates yesterday, due to functional issues and BSODs. I replaced mine. (I've also posted this in the Windows 8/2012 Section)

    Right @NoelC, but you also installed the March 2018 update which contained the Spectre/Mentldown mitigations, and you disabled the mitigations with a third party tool of some sort. so I wonder if their being present in the system still causes an issue. Whereas, I plan to skip that month's security only update completely, installing only IE, Flash and .NET patches. For Vista, I skipped the mitigations from Server 2008, but I wonder if something is slowing my system, or if it's just an anecdotal impression I get. Hard to say.

    So here's my question to @NoelC and @dencorso. If DON'T install either the March of April 2018 update (whichever the one is with the Spectre/Meltdown crap in it - and I have that labelled as such at home), and then I DO install all of the other security-only updates to July 2018, do you think that I will reap the performance degradation that NoelC is experiencing? I'm talking about that 8% that's nagging at him. Secondly, remember I was mentioning about updating backwards to minimize Component Store Bloat and redundancy. Well we know that with Windows 8, I have post EOL updates from Server 2012 that I use from after January 2016. My amended path of updating is this, so see if this is rational: Install Windows 8 x64 Pro Start with the newest post-EOL Server 2018 updates (say July 2018). Install each month's update going backwards, going all the way back to February 2016, !!!! AND SKIPPING WHATEVER MONTH HAS THE SPECTRE/MELTDOWN PATCH !!!! Now install all of the remaining valid Windows 8 updates that were originally offered by Microsoft automatically. (pre-EOL) Would that cause any system instability. I know I'll be prompted to skip (or else not be offered) updates that are not valid or superseded.

    Well my June updates overwrote my patched UX Theme files. So I had to revert to a Classic Theme (until that point, I had various desktop elements overtop of a black screen). Then I re-patched my theme files, and reapplied my Media Center visual styles - Good Times!

    I'm glad you enjoyed that Dencorso ....lol :p
  14. Jody Thornton
    I have bravely gone where no man has gone before (only because no else uses Vista ....lol), but I have installed the update for July. Nothing blue up. My system works.
  15. Jody Thornton
    Hmmmm for IE9 x64, I have KB4339093 All of the regular updates are simpatico. the only .NET update I install is for the integrated 2x/3x build, so I have KB4338611. I never saw the registry patch.
  16. Jody Thornton
    I have downloaded the latest Server 2012 updates, and although I won't be installing this month, here's the rundown: Security Only (KB4338820) IE10 (KB4339093) .NET v4.52 Security Only (KB4338601) Flash (KB4338832) Cheers All! :)
  17. Jody Thornton
    I'll be along in the morning with the list of Vista-compatible updates I have just downloaded. but now time for sleep! :)
  18. Jody Thornton
    Thanks Dencorso. I thought I was losing my mind (or else New Moon 28 was)

    Your link does not work :(
  20. Jody Thornton
    Right so that was the last one I got. Is there a newer one you have submitted? I'm checking now. EDIT: Nevermind ....lol - I see it. Downloading now :)

    Oh so the one with the updated New Tab page is Beta? (as in palemoon-28.0.0a4.win64-git-20180623-f58362790-xpmod.7z) Sorry it's so confusing ....lol
  22. Jody Thornton
    But not @roytam1's
  23. Jody Thornton
    What changed in about:config?
  24. Jody Thornton
    I've been running the v28 Sneak Peak (not the last release, but the one before). It was the last one to show the old newtab page without the search bar. Is there any way to resotre this page on the upcoming beta? It uses smaller thumbnails, and I prefer it. Also I find YouTube vids only work if I stop the video (during the load process) and play it again. Otherwise, it just keeps loading. Great work Roytam!

    Very detailed analysis VistaLover. I thought it was claimed to be incompatible on their end, but couldn't be 100%. Very confusing. I'll trust my memory from now on. :)
