In Windows 7 after running WU I got the Office 2010 updates but I am not getting KB4055532 or KB4056894, anybody knows why?

Yes, the TV can cause a problem. On my new Sony TV, my old Lacie Lacinema HD Classic with HDMI connection doesn’t work. It restarts in and endless loop, and that does not happend on any other TV I have tried. I know it’s not a laptop, but it’s the proof there can be some kind of incompatibility.

This worked for me on Windows 10 1507 but I don’t know if it’s still working:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions]
“DenyDeviceIDs”=dword:00000001
“DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive”=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs]
“1”=”PCI\\VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX”

where “PCI\\VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX” is the Device id you want to block

Anyone knows if this works to stop Windows 10 to offer drivers updates?

reg add “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate” /v ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Mid 2018, and Windows 7 EOL is january 2020.

Nice.

Anybody knows something about when Windows 7 updates will be full cumulative (sp2)?

Agree, that’s what I did on my system.

Anyway, maybe I’m wrong, but I think once your antivirus is updated to block the malware there’s no need for those files anymore.

What about this?

@echo off
if exist %systemroot%\cscc.dat (echo ERROR, FILE EXISTS & pause & exit)
if exist %systemroot%\infpub.dat (echo ERROR, FILE EXISTS & pause & exit)
type nul > %systemroot%\infpub.dat && attrib +R %systemroot%\infpub.dat && icacls %systemroot%\infpub.dat /inheritance:r
type nul > %systemroot%\cscc.dat && attrib +R %systemroot%\cscc.dat && icacls %systemroot%\cscc.dat /inheritance:r
pause
exit

After installing the 3 updates without problems, my W10x64 is now downloading KB3176936, old service stack again for installing.
Anyone with the same problem?

Well, one way to know if your key is legit is to google it, if there is no results you are probably safe, but if your key is on the web, bad news for you.
