April 3, 20233 yr I will presume that any current version of CurseForge/Overwolf does not work on Win7, but Win7 versions still exist. And fortunately, Curse/Twitch went the good route of not forcing an upgrade to an unsupported version. So if you had CurseForge installed prior to whenever their Win10 update came about, you can still use it but throws a generic error and says to update to Win10. However, over the past two weeks, something on their or Microsoft's backend changed which caused the inability to download anything new from the launcher. It also caused the issue where if you repaired your installation, it would "uninstall" (removed the links) to any games you had on the dashboard and all instances. For example, all instances of Minecraft would be removed from the launcher but not from the computer. A repair install would attempt to redownload the MS launcher but fail with an error "Failed to download the Minecraft launcher due to a network error." This error is in their known issues page: https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000196615-known-issues#Minecraft-▾ With the "resolution" being: Quote This issue is related to Windows 7, and unfortunately, we don't have a solution for it at the moment. If, when you get this error in CurseForge, and also there is a log under System in Event Viewer for an Schannel Error 70, then the solution is to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 in WinHTTP and on the Component Level as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392 After doing this, I no longer get the Schannel errors in Event Viewer and also am able to not only repair the Minecraft installation, but also install new packs. Tested up to whatever verion of 1.16 that Vault Hunters 3 uses.
April 14, 20233 yr It seems that WhatsApp has recently dropped support for their app for Windows 7 and 8.1, and have migrated to Microsoft Store (UWP) and made it the only choice to download WhatsApp, making it a Windows 10+ only app.

All you can‘t do is to install it directly

And then WhatsApp's icon becomes gray, and "(Outdated)" appears next to its name in the window title.

May 13, 20233 yr Did anyone tried out porting back Spotify 1.2.10 to Windows 7 (or 8.1) ? They introduced a new Design after ending Support for them
