• A bunch of new optional patches

    Posted on March 1, 2016 at 17:09 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Those of you running Windows 7 and 8.1 will no doubt discover a handful of new patches waiting for you.

    KB 2952664 our old “compatibility update” for upgrading Win7 to Win10 is back. KB article says it’s been revised 18 times.

    KB 2976978 same-same, for upgrading Win8 and Win8.1 to Win10. KB article says it’s up to revision 21.

    KB 2977759 same thing for Win7 RTM. It’s only at version 17.

    KB 3138612 updates the Windows Update program for Win7 and Server 2008 R2. Those of you who are waiting and waiting and waiting for Windows Update to work may want to install it.

    KB 3138615 covers the same bases for Win 8.1 and Server 2012 R2. Again, if you’re having trouble with Windows Update, it might be worth a whirl.

    The two at the end of the list are both “version 1.0.” The new KB 3138612 supersedes last month’s KB 3135445 , but there’s no indication of what may have changed. Similarly, KB 3138615 supersedes last month’s KB 3135449.  I talked about both of last month’s patches last month.

    More details in the morning in InfoWorld
