    The first Server 2012 ESU update was released in November 2023 so Monthly Rollups or security-only updates released before that can still be applied to Windows 8.0

    Recently I tried all of the .NET Runtimes from 6.0 to 9.0. All of them can be installed without problem on 8.1. Both the x86 and x64 versions. Then again I only installed them, I have not done extensive testing to see if programs that rely on it are fully compatible.

    There is a bug in the FF Nightly versions right now. It doesn't even run on W10 or W11. Maybe the upcoming fixed version will bring back compatibility with 8.1 as well (when modded). Found this on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1ha6efm/comment/m16f08z/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1ha6efm/comment/m17af1a/

    lol yeah guys, you shouldn't be too picky with running software on older or even outdated OSs Even W10 is gonna enter ESU stage next year O_o

    For Chromium-based browser, Supermium still works right now. It is compatible with Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and 8.x There is also Thorium, but the last build is from June 2024. It is compatible with Windows XP/Vista & 7/8/8.1 but it will not receive any more updates. The latest releases are W10+ only and can be found HERE !

    What do you mean? W7/8/8.1 is still supported with Firefox ESR 115 until at least March 2025. ESR 128 also still works with the mod (at least on 8.1). Only the latest nightly builds do not work anymore. I have not used App Verifier before, I'll give it a try.

    The latest Firefox Nightly 134 doesn't work on W8.1 either. Changing the OS Requirement from "000A" to "0006" in Firefox.exe is not enough anymore. Firefox Nightly is still detecting that the OS is not Win10 (or higher).

    It's an unsigned driver and it needs the certificate to be imported first for the driver to be seen as valid. But useless anyway for your hardware like you said. 700 MB is normal nowadays, Nvidia is pretty much the same there. To keep in perspective though, yea 700 MB is one whole CD-R !

    Does anyone know how to patch Uxtheme.dll to be able to use custom themes with the latest Server 2012 updates? Even the latest UltraUXThemePatcher is not compatible with it anymore (but is compatible with Server 2012 R2 latest updates)

    Opera 113.0.5230.31 doesn't work either. So some notable change happened between version 112.0.5197.53 and 113.0.5230.31 ! The Reason -> Chromium is updated to 126.0.6468.2 Changelog : https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-113/

    I have also tested the latest Opera version 114.0.5282.185 (as of Nov. 12th) and it's still a no-go ! If anybody else wants to look into why it doesn't work anymore, please share any knowledge you can find. I'm also sharing a method on how to obtain DWrite.dll from W10 TP Build 9926 without having to download the whole OS if it can help anyone. As a matter of fact Build 9926 received a few Windows Updates, one of them containing a slightly updated DWrite.dll (10.0.9926.6) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-10-technical-preview-update-rollup-february-4-2015-c6e538c6-01ca-b3c9-41f2-c959ae900473 You can download that update from here : https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3036140 Extract .msu to .cab then extract & expand .cab or use a tool like KB_Extractor Inside the folder "amd64_microsoft-windows-directwrite_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.9926.6_none_ad78ee61b6b96033" you will then find DWrite.dll (x64) Inside the folder "x86_microsoft-windows-directwrite_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.9926.6_none_515a52ddfe5beefd" you will then find DWrite.dll (x86) KB_Extractor_1.2.0.0.zip

    I just tested Opera_114.0.5282.144 on W8.1 using the necessary modifications and it doesn't launch anymore ! Anyone else having the same problem ? The previous version that I was using (112.0.5197.53) is still working fine !

    Use Root Certificate Updater for Windows 7 and higher : https://github.com/asheroto/Root-Certificate-Updater Also, do you have a fully updated Windows 7? Do you have the SHA-2 Patch installed? LINK Maybe you are missing that or the driver doesn't have have a valid SHA-2 certificate.

    Looks like support for ESR 115 has been extended until March 2025 with possibility for an additional extension. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/ffRCWVVHvAQ/m/PCVKYNnnAAAJ

    Even the Bypass by abbodi doesn't work anymore?
  16. superleiw
    Oh that might be why it could be problematic! Well the .NET POSReady updates are available here : https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=.NET+Framework+POSReady Some older updates might be missing as I'm not seeing any .NET updates from 2014 to early 2016, so I'm not sure.

    Do you have Update KB2999226 or KB3118401 installed? I think you need one or the other for VC redists 2015+ to work on W7/8/8.1 KB2999226 : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c or KB3118401 : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-322bf30f-4735-bb94-3949-49f5c49f4732 For KB3118401 there is only a Server 2012 version but it should work on 8.0 as well.

    Indeed, if you want to manually update those certificates on W7 or higher it's possible to use alternative tools. The rootsupd.exe (and the updroots.exe inside of it) are outdated and should not be used (except for XP & Vista) In fact, they break the "Microsoft Root Certificate Authority" root certificate on modern systems (at least Windows 10 1803+). An alternative to use on W7 and higher would be Root Certificate Updater available here (GUI or Powershell Script) : https://github.com/asheroto/Root-Certificate-Updater https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/UpdateRootCertificates/2.0.0 This tool was originally developed to manually update the root certificates on Windows 10, Server 2012/2016/2019. It seems to also work on W7/8/8.1 if WMF 5.1 is installed.

    It works if you spoof the Firefox version to the latest version 128. Spoofing the OS is not needed. The User Agent should look like this : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

    Btw, did anyone ever create POSReady .NET Framework addons? I only remeber the unofficial SP4 pack having those updates but what about standalone addons?
  21. superleiw
    That would be a good idea. I also kept a few addons/installers on an old external HDD that I could contibute.

    I found this driver for DEV_5916 but it has no installer so I think you have to go through Device Manager and point it to the folder manually ! Driver Version 21.20.16.5077 (2019) https://dl.driverpack.io/driverpacks/repack/Video_Intel-NT/Intel/FORCED/6Xx64/HD600_21.20.16.5077/Intel-FORCED-6Xx64-HD600_21.20.16.5077-drp.zip Driver Version 21.20.16.4565 (2016) https://dl.driverpack.io/driverpacks/repack/Video_Intel-NT/Intel/FORCED/7x64/HD600_21.20.16.4565/Intel-FORCED-7x64-HD600_21.20.16.4565-drp.zip

    In your first post you mentionned that you were using Webrender, is this still true? Did you manually enable it? Because most of these settings only work on W10+. In about:config those two options are for W10+ so maybe you can try setting them to False : gfx.webrender.all -> true (Windows 10/11 only) gfx.webrender.software -> true (Uses CPU instead of GPU but requires Windows 10+) The following options might also need to be reset to their default values : gfx.webrender.enabled gfx.webrender.compositor gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled

    KB2819745 is Powershell 4.0, you don't need to install it You can update directly to PS 5.1 (Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64.zip) here : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616 On Windows 7 the only requirements are NET 4.5 (or higher) and SP1

    I'm already below my monitor's default setting but It doesn't change anything for me even with lowest settings. Maybe I have some kind of sensitivity. Anyway I also came across another solution for Firefox : 1) Disable Hardware Acceleration 2) In about:config change "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to "True" 3) Restart browser and everything works smoothly and colours are the way they should be (even in RGB Limited)
