new October patches (though late on this btw) KB4520007 [Oct. monthly rollup] KB4519985 [Oct. security only update] KB4521857 [Oct. servicing stack update] KB4519974 [Oct. IE update]

here's a recent article from ZDNet titled "Why is Windows 10 a mess?" https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-is-windows-10-a-mess-ex-microsoft-engineer-blames-the-culture-of-made-men/

what kind of "intel centrino duo" cpu does that computer have, Raheem? use the CPU-Z tool to identify the exact model of that Intel CPU chip.

KB3177467 V2 is now obsolete like KB3020369. use KB4490628 or KB4516655 instead [both these updates replace KB3177467 and older servicing stack updates] very first update to integrate/slipstream is either KB4490628 or KB4516655 as either one is required to install new updates created in Aug. 2019 and later.

I'm sorry I was kinda vague in my previous post. What I meant to say is that the KB4524752 update will be offered to Win7 Professional users thru Windows Update while those using Home Basic/Premium or Ultimate of Win7 editions will be offered the KB4493132 update instead of KB4524752 on the list of available updates thru WU. And of course neither KB4493132 nor KB4524752 will show up for those using Win7 Enterprise & Server 2008 R2 editions.

the KB4474419 SHA-2 update for Win7 got another revision in early September 2019 (aka V3) check out the revisions of KB4474419 on the support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4474419/sha-2-code-signing-support-update

Edge 78 went to stable channel a few weeks ago

KB4524752 is targeted specifically to Win7 PRO users those using Win7 home premium or ultimate may still get KB4493132 instead

that's correct Vistapocalypse. no EOL notifications for Win7 users yet on MSE 4.10.209, not even on my family's Win7 ultimate pc using the recent Oct. 2019 MSE definitions come back next month in November or December and ask that question then from your first post of this thread

There are two versions of KB4056564 Lambo. the original one released in early March 2018 and a revised "V2" version in early May 2018. Do you have "original" KB4056564 or the V2 version?

there is a newer servicing stack update (SSU) for Server 2008 - KB4517134. MS support article 4517134 says that this new update supersedes/replaces KB4493730.

either Firefox 52.x or 60.x ESR is good enough for me on Win7. oh btw, Mozilla plans to release new Firefox versions every 4 weeks starting next year in 2020: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/09/moving-firefox-to-a-faster-4-week-release-cycle/ that's even faster than MS releasing 2 feature updates a year for Win10

the previous Flash player updates like builds .223 & .238 were non-security fixes and Adobe did not give MS those updated flash ocx files on Tue Sept. 10, MS did finally release a new Flash Player update (KB4516115), v32.0.0.255, which is a security update. resolves the new security flaws with Flash Player noted in Adobe security bulletin APSB19-46: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb19-46.html

now there are official MS Edge betas https://www.computerworld.com/article/3433539/microsoft-promotes-full-chromium-edge-to-beta-touts-enterprise-skillset.html https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft039s-chromium-edge-browser-is-now-available-in-the-beta-channel https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/08/20/announcing-the-microsoft-edge-insider-channels-bounty/ gonna grab the Edge beta right now

MS Edge recently has a beta channel available https://www.deskmodder.de/blog/2019/08/20/microsoft-edge-beta-steht-nun-offiziell-zum-download-bereit/ https://www.computerworld.com/article/3433539/microsoft-promotes-full-chromium-edge-to-beta-touts-enterprise-skillset.html https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/08/20/announcing-the-microsoft-edge-insider-channels-bounty/ gonna download MS Edge 77 beta for Win7 ASAP

@Jody: the KB4512482 update breaks apps made by Visual Basic 6 and certain macros using VBA no longer work correctly [known issue listed in MS KB article 4512482] in other words, KB4512482 is a "buggy" security-only patch [glad I don't patch right away and wait for a few days for new patches to come out that are less problematic] remove KB4512482 ASAP and install the newly released KB4517302 update instead (released 8/16), which fixes the Visual Basic breakage problems.

read MS KB articles 4512486 and 4512506, Tripredacus: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4512486/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4512506/ these new Win7 updates released this Aug. 2019 require the 4474419 update, which was also revised this August. also these new updates, along with 4474419 V2 update for Win7 causes problems with existing Symantec/Norton antivirus software. do not install these new updates until Symantec has issued a software update that works with the recently released SHA-2 updates from MS.

you will need to install both KB4474419 and KB4490628 SHA-2 updates this August 2019 or Windows Update will not offer nor issue any new W7 security updates made from this point onward https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4472027

ok thanks greehillmaniac and Jody. in case you were wondering, this was the comment abbodi made. I simply needed to install the latest Flash update for Win8.0 and not have to install KB4462930. the issue with 4462930 seems to occur only with Win8.1 (not 8.0)

@Jody Thornton @greenhillmaniac @UCyborg & others like @dencorso can you guys check if the KB4462930 flash update for Win8.0 is superseded/replaced by newer flash updates like a recent one such as KB4503308? I'm kinda arguing/debating about this with abbodi in another forum as he seems to have some doubts about it

well I have not experienced any "slowdowns" with KB4088880 (and/or any recent rollup update like the July 2019 version that includes spectre/meltdown fixes). also made sure I have both KB2818604 and KB3064209 AMD & Intel microcode updates for 8.0 installed on there. I'm now using Win8.0 on a backup hard drive on a custom built PC with an AMD Phenom II X4 925 cpu w/ 4gb of RAM.

well I'm getting the "opposite" effect with any of the recent monthly rollups for Win7 & 8.1 on some the PCs I have, cc333. instead of "performance drops" on my family's Dell Inspiron 620 desktop PC (using an Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500 3.3Ghz CPU [3.7Ghz max turbo frequency], I'm getting slight performance gains (or boosts) with recent security monthly updates installed for Win7/8.1 [I also made sure I have the KB3064209 Intel microcode update installed]

on the other hand, that's better than not getting a flu shot at all, BYTE-ME

guys, I just read this recent blog about Vista & SHA-2 support on Born's web site: https://borncity.com/win/2019/07/29/windows-vista-no-more-unofficial-updates-due-to-sha2/ perhaps Vistapocalypse & others can comment on this either here in this forum or on Born's web site

Radish, there are Win7 versions of that KB2533623 update from MS download center but it is not applicable because newer Win7 SP1 updates like KB2758857 supersede/replace it and it's an obsolete update; even KB2533623 for Vista will also say "not applicable" if the KB2758857 or higher update for Vista is installed
