Microsoft has released a new ESU Licensing Preparation Package KB5017220 for the extension of <b>Win8.1</b>/Windows Server 2012 R2 ESU on Aug. 24, 2022.

I just want to make sure is this KB required to continue running the Win 8 install script to install updates? TIA

With only 1 update remaining after this update of Win 8.1 🙁

December patches installed with no problems to report on Win 8.1. 🙂

With the issues going on with Windows 10, for instance the hidparse.sys issue this month, I am sure going to miss the stability of Windows 8.1 when it is eol next month. 🙁

Taking the plunge seeing I only have one copy, I’m happy to say my Windows 10 computer installed the updates with no problems. 🙂

Thankfully, this month was far less uneventful. After the updates were installed and the system restarted, the system went to the desktop with no problems. Therefore, October patches installed with no problems to report on Win 8.1. 🙂

I can also join that the experience with installing this month’s updates was anything but “calm”

September patches installed with some problems to report on Win 8.1

When the computer restarted after updates were completed, the desktop froze with a black screen. I actually had to do a cold reboot but when I did that the system did successfully boot to the desktop.

Thank you abbodi86. This is also a lesson for me that you can’t trust the Update History under Windows Update. 😮 When I went to the Installed Updates in the Control Panel, I found out that KB5016372, the .NET update, was already installed with the August updates.

Win 10 ver. 22H2 x64

I’m on Windows 8.1 and I’m not sure why I wasn’t offered the .NET update. I have version 4.7 installed and I was given the .NET update in August. Just strange.

I just had a thought it could be because I haven’t installed the SSU yet. I’ll have to see what happens after the go-ahead to install usually later in the month.
