Addresses an issue with evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows.

Does this statement mean that upgrade resistance is futile?

Obviously not installing Previews… but a key question. If this “… evaluating the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem to help ensure application and device compatibility for all updates to Windows” will be carried over to October’s “B Week”, do I have to create “Group H (Hybrid)”?! Or finally join Group B? Sounds like KB2976978, the “Compatibility update” I’ve been avoiding for a Looong Time. A new way to sneak that in?!!

Bought a refurbished Windows 10 64-bit, currently updated to 22H2. Have broke the AC adapter cord going to the 8.1 machine, but before that, coaxed it into charging. Need to buy new adapter if wish to continue using it.

Hmmm. If that’s the case, consider KB2952664 for Win7.

Reply | Quote

Yep, KB2952664 and KB2976978 are now part of the Windows 7/8.1 Monthly Rollup

insidious move

but on the other hand, eliminating their effect is easy

Will they be included in the Security-only Updates as well?

Reply | Quote

I don’t think so
they are not interested in tracking plain security patching

even if they dare to do it, Security-Only updates are not cumulative, so the next month update won’t have it

I’d have to hear a lot more about those fixes before allowing that into my system. Including how to get it out if future problems arose.

What fixes? you mean Monthly Rollups? or the W10-Block.cmd script?

Reply | Quote

@abbodi86, I was under the impression that anon’s query was pertaining to the block-script, and how to reverse the script commands to default should something go wrong.

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

Reply | Quote

Nothing will go wrong
all deleted registry/tasks are not part of Windows functioning

on the other hand, no, there are no reverse script
reinstalling KB2952664 or Monthly Rollup should restore them

We still might be OK for a while. I don’t know about KB2976978 but I listed Windows 7 KB4457144 and KB4457139 files in a spreadsheet and don’t see any of the 36 odd files from KB2952664 as yet. I have no doubt that they will be included sooner or later.

Is this for October? I still see KB2976978 (Win8.1) listed separately in Windows Update.

Starting with the 2018-09 Preview Rollups for Win7/8.1 and from then on.

Reply | Quote

Well, since the Preview Rollup for Sept. becomes the Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Oct., guess I’m switching to Group B in October. BTW, since the Cumulative IE11 Update has to be downloaded from the Update Catalog, when MS-DEFCON goes up, do I install IE11 before the rollups & other updates, or After? Asking for Sept…

My preference is SO first, then IE CU – no reboot in between necessary.

Just got a new computer and forcibly introduced to win 10 – can I leave things shut down on metered connection and update the cumulative update for 1703 directly from the Microsoft update catalogue?

Thanks!

Yes, you can download and install manually from the Catalog. You will also need the IE Flash update.

Thanks

The MS pages for KB4457139 now state KB3177467 will be required for Win7

Windows cumulative updates require that you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU). This helps to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU.

If you are using Windows Update, the latest SSU (KB3177467) will be offered to you automatically. To get the stand-alone package for the latest SSU, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog.

Is this for certain versions of Windows? Or for All that are utilizing the LCU? Including Win8.1?!?

KB3177467 is an SSU for Win7. Fixed that above.

PKCano, I’m hoping to state clearly in this topic discussion space that this is the same KB3177467 SSU for Win7 that many of us have installed from many months ago. There is not a reissued SSU under the same KB number that requires a new install at this time. If you have it already, you are done.

Do I understand this correctly?

Yes. The Sept 2016 patch. One of the last “speedup” patches when WU was scanning forever before the “invention” of the Cumulative updates. THAT SAME ONE. If you have it installed from back then, you’re done.

The problem people had missing it is, it was an exclusive install. It would not show up in the WU queue unless there were no other pending important updates (checked or unchecked). There is an extensive discussion in the “Solution for error 0x8000FFF” main blog thread several days ago.

Not seeing KB 4458469 on either of my otherwise up to date machines.

Possible phased roll out ?

Hi, are you running Win 10 Pro by any chance?

I received the update 14hrs ago on two computers running Win 10 Home, but I’m not being offered KB4458469 on my (also otherwise up-to-date) Win 10 Pro laptop no matter how many times I check. There’s a thread in ten forums where a few people are reporting the same thing, some are specifying they’re on Win 10 pro, the others I’m not sure about.

If you have Win10 Settings at CBB/SAC, you will only see the Patch Tuesday CUs (they are “security”).

I believe if you want to see the CUs released on other Tuesdays (or whenever MS releases them), you will need to set CB/SAC (Targeted) b/c they are like “Previews” in Win7/8.1 (non-security=bug fixes).

Just in case anyone is curious:
Upon reviewing the file list it appears that the Windows 7 September 2018 Preview KB4457139 contains an updated version of our old friend KB2977759
“Compatibility update for Windows 7” from 2016 GWT days.

Win 10 Pro here.  I got caught up with updates yesterday (after taking an image), and so far no issues.

KB4134661 and KB4056254 still hidden, though!

I’ve been going through the Patch Lady recommendations for this month and have a question on the following patch on my computer:  KB4054530 which is  4.7.2 .Net.  This patch was listed as having a 7-10-18 release date in the discussion of it on the Lounge.  I unchecked it at the time and now it is listed as an important update which if you uncheck it and go back to the page with the download button, it still shows the same number of patches.  Now looking  at the important updates, it is rechecked.  It appears that you cannot uncheck it now.  The last information on the master patch list in July shows do not not at this time.  Have the issues with 4.7.2 been resolved?  My network is just two PC’s and we do not have an exchange server as each computer retrieves it’s email individually.  Would it be advisable to hide the update or install it?   Thank you for helping me with this issue.

You don’t say what version of Windows you are running.

But the .NET patches have had quite a bit of trouble lately. If I were you, I would hide it for now and wait for a better time to install it unless you have applications that need .NET 4.7.2.

anon.2 discussing anonymous#post-219342

Does this condition explain the described observation? Where:

KB4054530 is a non security related update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, normally classed optional

anon219342 has existing need for KB4054530, because of some installed feature of some installed application software

Windows Update recognizes need and promotes KB4054530 to recommended, indicated by italicized text displayed in WU interface

anon219342 has selected, give me recommended updates same as important, in settings

WU preselects KB4054530 with a checked box

Further, if anon219342 had settings at automatic (not recommended here), none of this would have been observed

I was trying to imagine how the described condition would occur, and this is what I developed, does it fit?

Reply | Quote

According to Martin Brinkmann, KB4054530 is a non security related update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2  (I realize that Woody posted a link to this article in July, but re-posting here only in context of the current question regarding the .NET update)

https://www.ghacks.net/2018/07/10/microsoft-windows-security-updates-july-2018-release-overview/

I believe that I noticed this patch as an unchecked optional update the last time I updated my copy of Windows 7 Pro.  I left it alone…

Here is the Microsoft blog listing the fixes in this update:  https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/07/10/net-framework-4-7-2-is-available-on-windows-update-wsus-and-mu-catalog/

Anon219342 here.  The operating system is Windows 7 Professional-SP1.  For Anon 219379, the KB4054530 is not italicized in my Windows Update. “anon219342 has selected, give me recommended updates same as important, in settings WU preselects KB4054530 with a checked box”  I just checked the settings and they are set to “give recommended updates the same way I receive important updates”.  Updates are NOT set to automatic–they are set to “check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them”. This setting has not been changed from time prior to KB4054530.  However if anon 219379 is correct, then how come KB4054530 was unchecked when it first arrived which I left it alone in Windows update when I did my last updates?  This is just what JohnW- post 219363-did.  For PKCano,  how do I tell if I have applications which require .Net 4.7.2?  Thank you all very much for your assistance in finding a solution to this issue.

Anon 219342 again.  Could this be tied to the other KB4457918 Security and Quality roll up for .NET framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for X64?  By the way, my system is Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit, if that makes a difference.  Thanks again for your help.
