ill try them and let you know , hopefully it works out. is the nvwgf2um wrongly named?

will the game authenticate without that? im pretty sure its needed for anticheat purposes

Sounds good , but is the fps like it should be?

does any game work to be testable? perhaps windows score assessment? i get 5.9 even on a 1060gtx , but on w7 its 7.9

would i still need to use winload.efi and ntoskrnl for these updates or theyre not necessary?

You want the d3d12 file? Done.

@win32 do you think d3d12 binaries can be backported or tricked to run on Vista from Windows 7 , ofcourse currently Direct3D is barely functioning on Vista but i feel like it could be possible. One of my game folders also possess this dll , https://imgur.com/a/euTUEPn

But better than W2K , last patch 10 years back , even Vista users are finding it hard to keep up to date with everything dropping support , their former glory days will never return sadly , i dont mean disrespect to w2k but its just overly outdated imo just like XP and support for w7 dropping will only make it harder for all of us in the future.

It gets monthly updates from Server 2008 , Windows 2000's last update was in 2010 and even with kernelEx its not much , not sure how its the same according to you in terms of protection , not to forget lack of newer directx aswell

lack of security , lack of dlls and functions , basically one would need Vista SP2 as a bare minimum for todays real standards

4/10 , too outdated its broken beyond repair almost

Maybe u can see from the 32bit version and compare? since it seems like the 32bit apps have no issue with it.

It didnt start with your files the drivers are just broken on vista , your files dont fix those errors , there are many instances where i get this error , IE9 64bit , Steam games , sometimes in windows score assessment (winsat i think) , All of them 64bit , 32bit dxdiag works fine , while 64bit crashes https://imgur.com/a/fnYuj2c one thing to note is that , the steam games would just crash without your modified files , but with it , it would probably run with proper drivers since it crashes on the nvidia D3D10 dll now.

could the old drivers 368.XX - 372.70 be fixed easily? compared to the 400.XX drivers? Even an old fully functional driver could help , currently applications and many games crash with nvwgf2umx.dll error specifically and with DirectX and Vulkan both broken and Opengl not supporting many low tier apps its hard to do much especially on Pascal.

@win32 i see ntext in the folder , is it usable currently or just there incomplete and how would one get it to work?

actually theres a separate topic with the how-to's and requirements , server 2008 license isnt required(for the tool atleast) to do this and one can choose between only having Vista or 2008 Updates or even both in my case.

abbodi on mdl has managed to restore WU functionality with working SHA-2 apparently and can get both Vista and Sever 2008 Updates (even ESU) and possibly even Windows defender updates?

so making the winload.efi is still a thing or it wont be needed anymore?

Later on i found out , it doesn't work at all , 372.70 is indeed the last working so you are correct.

The issues still exist , the stability is just a bit better , it would have a 65% successful boot compared to 50% of before august

it doesn't work even with winload.efi same error
