AskWoody PlusOn my Windows 7-64 Pro SP1 machine it showed as Optional, however when you clicked on it the text on the right said it was “recommended update” and it was preceded by a yellow star! However, on my system, it shows up in Windows Update as still optional and was NOT pre-checked for install. I made a screen shot.

Guest>On my sole surviving Windows 8.1 machine, KB 3035583 appears as optional, unchecked, italicized.
It’s high time to re-evaluate whether you want Windows Updates on your older system(s).
Keep in mind…
This is today’s Microsoft releasing these updates…
They are more aggressive than ever w/regard to pushing you to Win 10.
They have entered a time where they document things more tersely than ever – if at all..
They have decided to push testing onto users (think “rings” and “deferred upgrades”).
Their recent work is mostly application programming; they’re not doing hard-core OS work much.
Tell me again why you would want to invite updates into an older Windows system?
Some very wise people have said, “If it works, don’t fix it.”

GuestYou leave yourself vulnerable if you don’t patch, lots of software has vulnerabilities, once these vulnerabilities are found the many different companies apply security patches to harden their software. At some point you have to patch if you want to remain protected, just not a good idea to patch right when an update is available unless you know it isn’t going to affect your system in a way other than what the patches are intended to do, to keep you safe.

KB3035583 appeared this morning U.S. time in my WU list.
– Unchecked
– Optional list
– ItalicizedI’m not sure if this info helps regarding the italicized question, but here’s what I’ve seen with my PC:
My WU setting is “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them”. That’s been the setting for a long time.
I recently unchecked the setting “Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates.”
I began to notice some WU’s italicized after I changed that setting.

GuestYep, I’ve got that pain in the posterior as well. It is showing up as an optional update, unchecked, with the update listed in italics. Shows it as a recommend update. They just don’t get the message, do they??? Come on Microsoft, get your heads out of your posteriors and listen to your customers.

GuestUPDATE:
To my last post. On main Windows update window it says I have 1 important update. When I click the 1 important update link, I’m taken to the Important (1) tab (Not optional tab). HOWEVER, the info in column to the right within Windows update says it is a “Recommended Update”. So I guess it is instead a Recommended update in the Important section of Updates.

KB3035583 is in Optional updates, unchecked, italicized. I’ve had my Windows Updates set to “Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them” for several years. I’ve always had the “Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates” box unchecked. Never paid attention to italicized or not before, so don’t know how long that’s been happening.

GuestSix (6) Win7 KB3035583 present in optionals, unchecked, NOT italicized.
Three (3) Win8.1 KB3035583 present in optionals, CHECKED, NOT italicized.
These are Recommended – may not show up if “give me recommended” is unchecked. I still have it checked so I see what’s coming.
Also, on all these computers, I have hidden telemetry, Win Update Client changes, 3035582, 2952664, etc. (maybe why not italicized?)

AskWoody LoungerWindows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64 bits, KB 3035583 does not appear.
Windows 8.1 Pro, 64 bits, KB 3035583 does not appear.
Both are desktop computers.
Both have Windows Update set to check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them. All other update options are unchecked.
Both computers are running latest versions of GWX Control Panel and SpyBot Anti-Beacon, even though I’ve not installed any telemetry or Windows 10 enabling patches up till now, to the best of my knowledge.

GuestKB 3035583 appears in Windows Update – 24 February 2016
1. Windows 7 Professional SP1, 32-bit
2. Important list
3. Box is unchecked
4. Not italicized
In case it’s of any interest/use, the update size is shown as 526 KB – 612 KB
I have Windows Update turned off; that is, I initiate a check for updates when it’s convenient for me to do so.

GuestThe “Give me recommended updates” option being unchecked is absolutely the reason for the italicized text Woody.
I haven’t seen this mentioned yet so here’s something from the “More information” link for this update that I find a little strange..
Update replacement information:
This update does not replace a previously released update.

KB3035583 today appears as Optional Update, unchecked, italics.
On being banished to Hidden Updates, shows there as Recommended.
(I wonder if it is in italics because earlier versions of KB3035583 were already banished by me to Hidden Updates. Today’s MS re-issue appears to have un-banished earlier KB3035583 versions from Hidden Updates, back into the “live” area). -

GuestWith all due respect, you’re no more vulnerable than you have been all along.
These are bugs Microsoft put in in the first place. Who’s to say the patches don’t have more bugs?
And your statement assumes that there are people pushing to find chinks in your armor constantly.
Statements like “you leave yourself vulnerable” border on paranoia.
You might point out that once Microsoft issues a fix, there are crack teams of experts dissecting the fix to find the vulnerabilities they didn’t know about. I would counter by saying, again, keep in mind that without exceptional conditions even these people aren’t all just outside your door all the time.
You make yourself more vulnerable by listening to people who oversimplify and generalize and spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

GuestWoody, a brief followup from yesterday. The laptop (Win 7 x64 Home Premium) has update settings the same as the two desktops running x64 Ultimate. “Important updates” is set to “Check for updates but …” and “Recommended updates” is unchecked.
On all three machines kb3035583 showed up as “Optional”, unchecked, and not italicized.

GuestNo offense taken. When new security updates are released they patch the known vulnerabilities that have been found, sure there could still be some vulnerabilities. Oses have million lines of code, and we know Microsoft in particular doesn’t distribute a finished product. It isn’t paranoia once an exploit has been found.

Noel Carboni
GuestWe’re on or near the same page I think.
I’ve kept up with updates in the past. I do know the advantages of partnering with a firm to derive value.
But this isn’t the same Microsoft. Not at all. Now we have to defend our older OS from activity that only a few years ago would have been considered very much that of a malware author.
Remember PUP? “Potentially Unwanted Program”.
Whatever reason we hundreds of millions of Win 7 and 8 users may have for holding back and continuing to run an older OS, it’s not because we’ve accidentally missed the offer!!!

GuestPfffff, GWX panel is not how I roll, I have my list of updates that never reach my system. Having said that, the great Satan 3035583 is still not showing up here. Is it because no version of it ever has been installed on any of my computers or is it because I also never installed the “updates” to Windows Update or is it because I’m Finnish, I don’t know. Fact is that it’s not showing and that makes this a great day. I must be doing something right.

GuestOh CRAP, Satan’s back… Blehhh.. Then again, I have noticed it’s quite satisfying to catch and disable this malware myself, no antivirus programs involved. Thank you Microsoft for making the little guy feel a bit special. So keep on sending shady updates my way, I have all the time and patience in the world. You’re the one who looks ridiculous with your DESPERATE bullying. Windows 10 is garbage. All of it.

AskWoody PlusOn my Windows 8.1 64-bit machine, KB 3035583 appears as optional (Recommended), unchecked, italicized. If I had Recommended updates checked (‘Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates’), KB 3035583 would be checked. Glad I turned that off in January!
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.
