Re: KB4490628. Ran check for updates again and there it was. It downloaded and installed perfectly without a restart. Still not finding the “Get Win 10 nagware”, (not that I want it). Thanks PK. Win 7 Pro, SP1 x64, i7Core “Haswell”

Just installed KB4489878, KB4474419, KB890830 with no problems. Didn’t see KB4493132 offered. Win 7 Pro, SP1, Grp. A, i7Core “Haswell”.

The guy who keeps my 5 year old HP ZBook 17 humming along, (Win 7 Pro, x64 SP1, i7-4700 Haswell MQ CPU,  8 GB) suggested to me, after the most recent service a couple of months back, that I consider installing an SSD.  I’m somewhat undecided with the demise of Win 7 now less than a year away. I’m not sold on Win 10, given what I read in these forums and in conversations with my “tune-up” guy. He’s not a fan either and he services alot of Win 10 machines. 7 Semper Fi. PS: No way do I want my refrigerator spying on me!

Installed in this order for Win 7 x64 Pro, SP1, Grp. A, i7-Core Haswell, HP zBook: KB4486563, reboot, KB4487078, reboot, KB890830, no reboot required. Just got in the habit of installing patches individually after having multiple installs hang, take forever or fail. No problems. Thanks as always to Woody and the MVPs.

Ditto, Win 7 Pro, SP1, home user. Not thrilled at the idea of Win 10 and it’s many variations from what I’ve read in this venue. I do know what the Registry is, but stay out of it. Messin’ with it is way above my pay grade.

Thanks, forgot to mention I’m running Win 7 Pro x64, SP1, i7-Core Haswell

Use FF 100% of the time. Thanks for the tip off to use “Startpage”; am now using it for most all searches. Duckduckgo as an alternative, but can’t view YouTube or Google maps with it. Don’t like Google’s general snoopiness. BTW, can anyone answer, is FF 65.0.1 good to go? Notifications to update have been pushed at me for about a week. I know a few weeks back the FF update was causing some issues.

After reading on this forum all of the issues encountered by Win 10 users, I am extremely wary of Win 10 as an OS.  Home user: Win 7 Pro x 64, SP1, i-7Core Haswell, HP zBook

“Allow Firefox to check for updates but let me choose when to install them.” As with MS I never rush to update and actually forgot about the ver. 65 update after the notification this week. Win 7 Pro x64, SP1, i7Core, Haswell, Grp. A, Norton Security

Win 7 Pro x64, SP1, i7-Core, Haswell, Grp. A. Installed KB4480970, KB 4481480. & KB890830 (MSRT). No problems here. I do download & install each patch individually and restart after each install rather than all at once. (With exception of MSRT which doesn’t require a re-boot to install.)

Ditto Joulia S.  HP ZBook, Win 7 Pro x64 SP1, Grp. A, i7core Haswell. Home user and will await Woody elevating the DEFCON level. No hurry.

Win 7 Pro, SP1 x64, i7Core, Haswell, Group A. Patched through Dec. ’18 with the exception of KB4483187 and KB4471987 which I was hesitant to apply so didn’t. Update setting changed to “Never check” “the minute I see status change to DEFCON 2. Stand down fellow Win 7’ers.

Ditto. Win 7 Pro SP1

I installed KB446293 when Woody gave the go ahead at DEFCON 4.  No problems encountered. I don’t use Outlook; does the glitch apply to my machine? Win 7 Pro, SP1, Grp. A, i-7core Haswell, HP ZBook.

Thanks. Sitting tight for now.
