Critical Hotfixes for Windows Vista


Recommended Posts


  • 1 month later...

Can anyone tell what the update rollups are for? I'm trying to figure out a way to search the update catalog without getting 1000 hits back (did they actually get anyone to test this bloomin' thing before they released it?). If I search for 'Vista Critical' or 'Vista Rollup' I get a single page of results which is much easier to handle but I need to know does this cover everything or is there a better way? I saw the hotfixshare too but it doesn't seem like a very efficient way to get updates.

We have had hotfixes almost as long as we've had Windows. Why have they not got a decent solution yet?!

UPDATE: Actually I've just looked at the rollups and bar a few exceptions it's mainly the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool so I guess that's a no!

Just came across this. Looks like a nicely ordered list and sensible options for selecting architecture type. What would be better still would be a direct link to the download or maybe some way to add it to the Windows Update Catalog list.

And why the hell do you have to validate every single download. Have they heard of cookies (probably not secure enough I know but they could have a login or something and just periodically ask for validation or something.)

USB Rollup Update.

KB941600 - Cumulative update rollup for USB core components in Windows Vista

Oct. 2, 07 - 417kb

Replaces many previous usb fixes.

Thanks for the update... One of our "Big Boss" insisted to get is new computer (a simple Dual Quad Xeon with RAID10 of 15K SAS drives... looks like a virtualization server to me!) with Vista 64-Bits.

I must tell you that I have big problem on this computer with USB ports (not to mention Vista trouble + the 64-Bits variant).

Upon now, I had previously found KB937187_x64 which somehow kind of solved the problem but it is still shaky...

Darn Vista. On some computer, no problemo at all and on others only troubles...

Not sure if this is helpful to y'all, but it's my list of critical hotfixes I maintain for Vista 32 and Vista x64 that I insert into my install.wim. I didn't see any current list in here. Hopefully it's easy enough for you to figure out how I have everything listed for my needs.

These two lists will include any hotfix that shows up in the windows updates site after you freshly install Vista 32 or Vista 64.
