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

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.

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

 

I found the WUMgr description post:

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.

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.

 

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.

See my older post :  Free Commander

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!

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.
