A fascinating grab bag of fixes – with absolutely nothing that should interest most reasonably sane individuals. Details coming in Computerworld Woody

At least they were honest and clear about the changes 🙂

but it seems very odd for S 2012/2008 to get preview rollup with nothing changed

Very much so. I wonder if there’s something they aren’t telling us? Or did somebody just post the wrong file?

The files inside 2019-11 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2012 for x64-based Systems (KB4525242) are all dated October 30.

The files inside 2019-11 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2012 for x64-based Systems (KB4525246)  are also dated October 30.

There’s a slight difference in file size

The earlier patch, windows8-rt-kb4525242-x64_ebeab6040458eb5051e4a11cf44e0b28f16b1efc.msu , shows up as 305,094 KB

The latest patch, windows8-rt-kb4525246-x64_ac93932bb6860c0543988e2022186b248e45e115.msu , is 304,586 KB

Definitely something strange going on….

BTW, i noticed in WSUS they cleaned the house of Adobe Flash player, and expired 130 old updates (for Win 8.1 and 10 up to 1709)

but as expected, they forgot the forgotten update KB4462930

You mentioned the Monthly Rollup preview for Win8.1 & Server 2012 R2… but missed the corresponding .NET Preview. With that:

Preview of Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 8.1, RT 8.1, and Server 2012 R2 — KB4524743

Looks like it reapplies parts of the Quality Rollup for Sept. 10. Since it’s Optional, as Emily Litella would say… “Never mind.”

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.

It’s been a common practice, only 4.8 and 4.7.2 gets non-security fixes and improvements
4.5.2 and 3.5 hardly get security updates
