Assuming you have SP2 and Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256, it sounds like an old familiar issue is back!? (But Windows Update isn’t supposed to work anymore!?) Set Windows Update to “Never check for updates,” click OK and restart. Then manually install KB4015195, KB4015380, KB4012583 and KB3205638 either from Microsoft Update Catalog or greenhillmaniac’s repository. There is a YouTube video by WinClient5270 with download links in the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtGYgxfpkeg (Minor detail: If IE9 is already installed, I would nowadays suggest KB4507434 rather than the older patch mentioned in the video.) Act fast because M$ may shut it down again, and let’s try not to turn this into a “How to Update Vista” thread please. Edit: False alarm.

bromogatos309 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) It says that on Steam not Windows.....I have turned off the Updates on Vista a long time ago Edited April 29, 2021 by bromogatos309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistapocalypse Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Oops! I failed to realize that “it” was Steam, due partly to another recent post. 16 hours ago, ScrapMechanicFan2016 said: EDIT.

bromogatos309 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yes because it says ''Steam is no longer supported on your Operating system Version'' over and over again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistapocalypse Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Correct: Steam does not support Vista. I’m not a gamer myself, but hope you have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromogatos309 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 And where is the win7 requirement I need to remove ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for a sequence of bytes that goes 6A 00 6A 01 6A 06 And change the 6A 01 to 6A 00.

The premodded october build of Steam never checked for updates and I never had to configure anything. The thread I linked to did mention what you need to add to the Steam.cfg file though. It goes to the Steam folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
