  In a most unusual Patch Tuesday (Full details in  Woody on Windows blog, which has just moved from InfoWorld to Computerworld), Microsoft announced  in a June 2017 security update release  that it was releasing additional security patches for older platforms. Microsoft security advisory 4025685 was released in tabular form, with references to the security bulletins that each patch addressed for each of the non-supported older platforms. To make for easier downloads, here is the list or the patches needed for Windows XP/Server 2003.

  Over at Computerworld, Michael Horowitz has sliced and diced the update <Expirydate> problem.

  Interesting info, particularly that he got the wuauclt.exe /detectnow command to break the logjam.

  If you have an XP or Server 2003 system – or you know someone who does – and they aren’t getting updates, make sure they understand that they aren’t alone. It’s Microsoft’s doing again. Still no official confirmation, still no idea when/if it’ll get fixed.
