AskWoody PlusI 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.

AskWoody PlusI 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

AskWoody PlusAbout 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.

AskWoody PlusI also have not received any .Net updates for July. Only the MSRT and the Cumulative Update.
Also I got the Defender platform update separately.

AskWoody PlusThis 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.

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

AskWoody PlusI 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”
