Woody;

Better still, KB3033583 is being shown as an ‘important’ update by WU 8.1 – but, when I clicked to show the updates, it still listed as ‘recommended’

Correction – that’s KB3035583 – sight garble.

Reply | Quote

I checked, and yep, it’s set as a Recommended Update.

Reply | Quote

On 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.

Can confirm it was listed on 3 Win7 systems here as recommended and unchecked. Came out within the last few hours as I had checked earlier

Win7 64bit. Have had KB3035583 hidden for months. Wasn’t in WU Optional patch list yesterday. Showed up today in WU Optional patch list as “Recommended” (NOT checked).

I have Win7 through Windows Parallels on my MacBook Pro by Apple. Today 3035583 reappeared in the Optional group as a recommended update. I used right-click to hide it, but who knows for how long that will last.

>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.”

You 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.

Nothing yet, as of 6 p.m. EST. I’ve hidden it at least three times, so perhaps they have given up on me. 🙂 I have GWX CP running in monitor mode, perhaps that has something to do with it.

– Win 7×64 Home Premium OEM

KB3035583 appeared this morning U.S. time in my WU list.

– Unchecked
– Optional list
– Italicized

I’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.

I hid that particular update in December 2015 on both my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machines, it hasn’t appeared again on either yet. I’m in the UK so it may appear tomorrow morning GMT in which case I’ll add an update here.

UPDATE:

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.

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?)

@woody Before you ask, I’ve never seen a definitive explanation about why patches appear italicized

Isn’t that the difference between ‘Recommended’ – Italicised and ‘Optional’ – straight text?

The “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.

Yes. Right now, my Win7 machines say “Published: Yesterday.”

Reply | Quote

With 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.

Woody, 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.

Woody…four hours ago I told you it had not shown up on my Win 7 pro (64) desktop computer.
Now it is here! It is listed as an optional, recommended update. In italics, box unchecked.

Reply | Quote

No 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.

Reply | Quote

We’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!!!

Pfffff, 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.
