Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
You can disable it with Pro with GPEDIT. Not sure about home. I think it can be disabled using 'shutup 10'....but anytime I set up a 10 system for a customer, it's always pro.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
The difference is that in Windows7 you can disable auto updates and you will never see constant 50% CPU, 100% HDD usage.
And 50% means 1 core fully utilized(100% core 0) with god knows what, slowing down the whole machine.
How can you have 50% CPU, 100% HDD on a machine that is doing almost nothing?Last edited by televizora; 11-26-2020, 02:33 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
I still don't like that Windows 10 will reset some settings (but not all) back to defaults at random.Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
Stay away from Windows10. I had numerous complains describing slowdowns.
When I access the machine, I see "Software protection = 50% CPU, 100% disk usage"
This is not acceptable. Perfect dual core machines with 4gigs of ram unusable.
Opening internet browser requires 5 minutes. And forcing updates.
I want to reboot the machine, then wait 15 minutes for updates to end.Leave a comment:

I did find this:

Security only patches for S2K8R2 and Win7 without all the telemetry shit of the full rollup.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
My NAS is running S2K8R1, patched up...and that's the only system that has real data contained on it. S2K8R2 is basically Win7....and the patch doesn't work on it....imagine that, since R2 was included in that nonsensical 'rollup'

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
Assuming that you and others are running win7 with a limited number of security updates installed (the purpose of this thread), do you intend to install the security rollup put out by microsoft to protect against WannaCry? If not, what is your plan moving forward? Thanks
Setup: WannaCry exploits outdated SMBv1 protocols. So, disable SMBv1. Do not disable SMBv2 or SMBv3.
I followed the instructions under 'How to enable or disable SMB protocols on the SMB client' (will post the link at the bottom). *My laptop isn't a server, so it must be the client, right?
It's a very simple copy/paste of two lines, into an elevated command prompt. To get an elevated command prompt, right-click the command prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Paste, or type, the commands one at a time and hit Enter each time. Here they are:
To disable SMBv1 on the SMB client, run the following commands:
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= disabled
See the attachment for a screenshot showing the command prompt after entering both commands.
Here's a link to the instructions per Microsoft.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
And regarding Windows, WSUSOffline wins again!
There's an issue, which may still exist, where wsusscn2.cab is corrupted and the workaround is to change the DNS server!
When the cab is corrupted, it usually can't be more obvious, because if you double click on the cab, the cab file viewer will scream "Cannot open the cabinet file" or similar.
7-zip also will scream as well...
But, for me, wsusscn2.cab hasn't been corrupted for likely 5 or 4 months now...Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 05-16-2017, 09:13 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
My understanding was that MS had no idea as the NSA found it and sat on it rather than quietly let MS know that they had a problem. Had the NSA not been hacked several months ago MS probably still wouldn't have known that pre-windows 10 SMB had an issue.
I don't think MS did this intentionally... I think that the NSA stumbled upon a backdoor before they had a chance to "ask" for one to be added. I couldn't see them adding this big of a hole and not doing anything about it for 4+ major (not counting windows server) operating systems. As for 10 not having the issue, my understanding was that for windows 10 SMB was redone and as a result the issue didn't exist in the new version of the SMB stack to begin with.

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
Maybe home users on a protected wireless network aren't vulnerable. I'm not sharing files on a network. I don't really know what the Server Message Block (SMB) vulnerability means but perhaps my home network is ok, using only good antivirus software?Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
I'd like to install a security update to protect against the WannaCry exploit released by the NSA.
Microsoft has released stand-alone patches for most operating systems. These patches are very small file sizes. Yet, apparently, the only way to update Win7 is with a larger Security Rollup which includes god knows what else.
Why no stand-alone patch for Win 7? Here is a list of current OS patches:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
That aside, at least the Automatic Updates in Windows 10 are not as irritating (dare I say even somewhat unnoticeable), unlike in previous versions of Windows. So for Windows 10, I don't mind the updates that much - at least on the PCs we have at work. If I got a PC with Win 10 on it, I probably wouldn't use it for anything more than an internet browser. All of my important documents and files are to remain on my Win XP PCs.Leave a comment:

Re: Win7 updates for upgrading to Win10
I certainly don't.Just install and then turn off Windows Updates.
Have not had a problem or a even virus with my current Windows 7 installation since 2013.
Now only if Windows 10 had this ability to make Windows Update stay dead when I tell it to, I would be upgrading to it.Leave a comment:

by T4-BRHello,
Many thanks for the high quality ressources available on your website.
I'm currently facing some issues with my T470S:
- I sat a Supervisor Password using special chars which was causing issues
- Access to BIOS was locked but I was still able to use my PC
2 weeks ago, I got an update of BIOS/TPM from Windows Update.
Computer restarted and after Lenovo logo a loading bar appeared and at the end something went wrong + an error popped.
Computer restarted one more time and I got the prompt for typing Bitlocker...-

I had 3 people contact me in a week because Windows suddenly didn't boot:
As you can see, all 3 are ASUS computers, but I believe the common factor is the BIOS being American Megatrends (AMIBIOS/APTIO).
The first two recovered just fine after a restart, but the third one didn't and was brought to me. The model is F541UV (X541UV).
Setup allows to add a boot option manually and the operating system boots just fine from both bootx64.efi and bootmgr.efi. However, there is no way whatsoever to save the option(s): upon a reboot the machine goes straight...-

by bogart219Hello fellows. My Lenovo ideapad5 151al7 doesn't charge my battery, this seemed to happen right after an win 11 update, at least that is when I noticed it. I rolled back the update but it didn't matter. The laptop doesn't work off of the power adapter, which btw, I always leave plugged in and never really use the battery. New power adapter and battery, same problem. USB-c connector. The battery monitor in setup says "charger not installed", (but it is). Using a usb tester, with the battery plugged in it reads 20 volts but no current. With the battery unplugged it only reads 5 volts with...

by TopcatWhat OS are you running these days? I am down to 3 Windows workstations and one Windows Server on my LAN, everything that doesn't have a windows-specific need has been moved to Linux. Printing abilities with my large document centers are Linux's kryptonite; the reason for 2 of the Windows machines. The third machine still has Win7 on it, and isn't connected to the outside world. It has tons of software on it I use for diagnostics and updating various hardwares. My main rig is still Win10 Enterprise, so I had to vote Win10 in the poll...but I have overwhelmingly more linux machines than windows...Windows 1129.27%12Windows 1024.39%10Windows 8/8.1 or 717.07%7Windows Vista (I'm a glutton)0%0Windows XP (I just can't let go!)2.44%1Windows 2000 / ME / 9x (Ok, this one is a funny, maybe!!)0%0Some flavor of Linux (brag on your distro in a post)21.95%9MacOS - OSX (Poor diluted souls!!)4.88%2Google Chrome/chromebox/chromebook0%0What's a PC?
