      There is a registry key to stop updates:

      ————————————————————————-

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
      ;
      ; This will disable updates for Firefox
      ; Aug 10, 2021
      ;

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla]

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox]
      “DisableAppUpdate”=dword:00000001

      ;
      ; This will disable updates for Thunderbird
      ;
      ; [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Thunderbird]
      ; “DisableAppUpdate”=dword:00000001

    • in reply to: Thunderbird updates #2588207

      I downloaded the portable version of Thunderbird 115.2.2 to test out the UI.

      I was able to copy the profile folder from 102.15 into the profile of 115.2.2 and all appeared to work correctly, except for the following:

      I like the unified folders view, but I found only 5 out of the 7 email accounts in this view.

      If I chose the “All Folders” view, all the accounts are shown.

      Therefore, I am not ready to use TB 115 until Mozilla gets the UI fully cooked.

      I do not know if the installed version of 115 has the same limitation. If anyone else has the installed version, I would like to hear of your experience.

      Also, if you are using any of the Aris .css style adjustments, there are several changes to incorporate into the TB 115 UI.

    • in reply to: MS-DEFCON 4: Got 22H2? #2576714

      I installed KB5028166 alone with no other updates on 3 computers running Win 10 Pro 22H2 with different results:

      On 2 computers there was ONE reboot as @alejr described.

      On 1 computer, after the First reboot was almost complete (around 90% – I was not watching that closely), the computer started another reboot. That one completed and the Login Screen appeared. So this was definitely TWO reboots.

      FWIW

    • in reply to: KB5028166 update error WIN10 Home 22H2 #2576583

      About 3 years ago I started using Windows Update Manager (WUMgr) to control which updates I want to install.

      My original post is HERE

      From there you can find the description post by David Xanatos and how to find the download site.

      There is also a detailed description about using WUMgr on AskWoody, but I don’t have a link at hand.

    • in reply to: MS-DEFCON 4: Got 22H2? #2575699

      I also have not received any .Net updates for July.  Only the MSRT and the Cumulative Update.

      Also I got the Defender platform update separately.

       

    • in reply to: Windows Update – infinite loop #2574501

      This morning after installing:

      Definition Update:  Version 1.393.786.0  7/19/2023 8:19:39 AM

      Using the update program

      “C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe” -SignatureUpdate is again saying “No updates needed.”

      It looks like this problem is finally fixed.

      I just checked my tray icons and the Windows Security icon does indeed have a hover tool tip, and there is a right click menu.

      I have also noticed the behavior of multiple updates of the same Defender Definition files.

      This started on 7-14-2023. I noticed that after installing an update using Windows Update, followed by a check for updates with WUMgr, the same definition file is ready for update. If I run:

      “C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe” -SignatureUpdate

      the same update will be installed again. It used to say “No updates needed.” if the update had already been installed.

      All my updates were installed “Successfully”

       

       

    • I did not install the June .NET OOB updates.

      I checked with WUMgr and I was NOT offered any July .NET updates.

      I have been offered the July Cumulative Update and the MSRT (not installed yet).

      Take a look at Free Commander XE.

      It can be configured for 2 pane file list display and many other options.

      I have been using a Brother MFC-8460N B&W Laser printer since about 2008.

      It has Ethernet, FAX, Copy, Scan to computer software. It just works!

    • in reply to: Windows 10 Calendar Deletes Old Events #2564105

      I use Thunderbird for my email accounts and my calendar.

      My calendar has events going back several years.

      Maybe it is time to switch from MS Calendar.
