Vistapocalypse Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) 14 hours ago, Licht92 said: I was getting Defender security updates till last month, now there is no more updates, I always see the status "Computer is updated" in the control panel. Welcome to MSFN Licht92. Since no other Win7 users have reported that issue, did you install an antivirus last month? That would usually turn off Defender, and you only get automatic definition updates when it is turned on. Still, M$ did block antispyware definition updates for Vista in 2019, so they may have done the same to Win7 now. In that case, you could manually download and install definitions from this M$ page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/defenderupdates Edited March 2, 2021 by Vistapocalypse link repair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume Z Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 When they retired all Windows-signed SHA-1 content last year, nothing actually changed in Windows 7 SP1 against their own claim. Them now claiming "We expect the SHA-1 certificate expiration to be uneventful" I guess means less than nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberluke Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Current status report (09/2020) Downloaded fresh 32-bit (x86) Win 7 Pro ISO with SP1 bundled in. First I try to browse some websites in Google Chrome and got a lot of certificate issues, so I downloaded root certificate update first, here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/support-for-urgent-trusted-root-updates-for-windows-root-certificate-program-in-windows-a4ac4d6c-7c62-3b6e-dfd2-377982bf3ea5 Even after this: Automatic updates say error: 80072EFE Googled that it requires this manual update: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3138612 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
