• Malicious Software Removal Tool update, KB 890830, throwing weird WinXP (!) EULA prompts

    Posted on November 15, 2018 at 05:11 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    If I’d seen it once, I’d just disregard it as another bizarre Microsoft bug. But we have three reports now, like this one from @Morat:

    I’m running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. MSRT Nov 2018 KB890830 popup notice says, “Prerelease Version of Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Home, Media Center, or Tablet PC Edition END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PRERELEASE CODE”. What the heck… prerelease code for Windows XP?

    There’s confirmation from @bsfinkel and from an anonymous poster.

    Looks like there’s a bug in KB 890830 for 32-bit Win7 — Prerelease code for XP? Pshaw.

    Thx, @Microfix
