Notable RIP mentions – Office viewers always handy for offline formatting checks when using office alternatives (still can) – Media Centre which was one of my star attractions in XP, Vista and Seven then a paid add-on in Windows Pro editions of 8 and 8.1 is where it was put on life-support 🙁

rick41, Why not try the ESU bypass as a third alternative? download patches using the MS catalog and manually install using the bypass scripts for both CU and .Net patches. Considering there are only 12 months remaining for ESU, this seems a viable option 😉

“Stay tuned, deeper analysis by this weekend.” sorry, I can’t see anything to indicate this on the site.
Windows 7 esubypass working as expected, no problems to report as a homeuser with much less beaconware by default.

Installed kb5005633 last week, no issues to report as I have no printer.

brain flatulence oopsI Yes, I knew that, but with chromium being the root browser framework in the pyramid of blink, surely the above article is still relevant to these browsers. Good work by project zero although I’m still not convinced given the article findings. ymmv
either that, or someone has re-invented the wheel of security 🙂

Do you have a reason to believe that Edge is not secure?
With Edge being based on google chrome, makes it a bigger target as per the article linked below.
Google issues another security threat warning
Chrome is one of the leading browsers available; however, I can’t ignore that this is the fourth major security vulnerability in two months and the eighth zero-day hack this year. The number of attacks is steadily growing, and it is more important than ever to ensure that your browser is kept up to date.
I share those concerns.

Simon Weel, Mozilla Thunderbird would be a worthy addition in my opinion

Nice informative thread for us Windows 7 users with plenty of options. I don’t class myself as a hold-out, just believe that this operating system is worthy of holding onto as one of the last M$ masterpieces going forward. Opinions vary

From my experience for July patches, installed SSU kb5004378 and Monthly Rollup kb5004289 using the bypass method. Restarted then installed Net4.8 kb5004116 using the slc redirection method. No problems to report since installation on the 15th july, all working well here, long live Windows 7!
