5046705 & 5048676 installed and system running with no issues.

My system did double restart though, did anyone else have this?

Are there issues with switching from the .NET quality rollups to the security only updates?

All Oct updates (5044356, 5044011, 5044019) installed without issue.

There was a double restart, but nothing else of note.

Since my system (Windows 7 Home Premium) isn’t even supposed to have Bitlocker, would simply disabling the service before I install the updates hurt anything?

The service is already stopped and set to manual start. (The default setting as far as I know.)

No, I’ve never used it. The Bitlocker Drive Encryption Service is stopped and set to manual

@PKCano

Do those of us using the script need to watch out for the Bitlocker issues that are effecting W10 & 11?

I’m hoping to install the July updates tomorrow before severe weather moves in for the rest of the week and I’d like to know if there’s anything I should watch out for.

@n0ads & @Cybertooth

Thank you both for the trying to help. I actually think I figured out why I originally thought there was a problem.

The things I was trying to block weren’t the domains for those sites, they were things the sites themselves use.

I added askwoody.com and youtube and they were blocked as expected.

I would’ve thought so too until this morning.

I added jnn-pa.googleapis.com to my host file then flushed the dns and went back to youtube and ublock was still detecting it.

then I also realized (since I was looking for this now) that ublock was still detecting facebook.net which I’ve had in my host file since 2020.

(I always block facebook in ublock so I never noticed if it was .com or .net)

@Cybertooth

Should host file edits effect both the admin and standard accounts?

Is there no new Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool this month?

I ran a check for updates and nothing came back.

There wasn’t a new version listed in the update catalog either.

uBlock does appear to be the problem, disabling it let Outlook load normally.

Now I just to figure out why this started happening.

Is there any reason to think that using uBlock Origin may have something to do with this?

Late last year I had a situation similar to this where ublock was blocking one of the things outlook needed to fully load, I set that to noop and everything worked again.

This time nothing new has been blocked that I can see but I want to cover all my bases.

Ok, for a second I didn’t think I was gong to be able to copy this, but here it is
