Quote from: greenozon on November 15, 2022, 12:33:57 AMAre there any (un)official post SP1 W7 update package (11 years accumulated in one installer)?

You just need to search for Windows 7 Rollup.
There is one HERE. but as it is not MS....caveat emptor


thanks! is it the same stuff as officially proposed by MS though?

Yea, they look the same.

I wonder what happens if I apply that one to my running Win7-64 :rolleyes:

Thanks for that. I always wonder when my computah is phoning home behind my back ...
Assembly language programming should be fun. That's why I do it.

David,

This may be useful to you.

There are others dedicated to turning off telemetry. I just forget which ones. Just be careful of what you change with tools of this type.

Inserted via update. Of course in the guise of a security feature. No thanks.
And you'd wonder why I despise installing any more updates to windows 7. There is a good reason.  :tongue:
As far as windows 10/11 if you have to turn a whole load of crap off....   :rolleyes:

OK, very small detail for Windows 7: I changed my text font size (in Control Panel→All Control Panel Items→Display) to 130% for mo' betta appearance. It made for nice text in all applications except for my own, which had fuzzy-looking text. Then I checked the "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling", which made everything look good.

Phew! I figure I'm about 95% of the way there.

Yep, Microsoft has always done that, I think it started in Win95.

So I would turn something off on a customer's machine to fix it, and then a couple of weeks later the problem would come back, like magic. :biggrin:

I have been a support tech in different capacities over the years, even though I really don't like windows, but crap like that used to keep me in a job.

Even their certs were BS. I used to hold them in high regard, then a 16 year old kid got the MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer). And that was one of the times I realised pieces of paper were largely pointless.

There are a ton of anti-telemetry apps out there. I have used a few different ones over time but you need to learn what to turn off and what not to turn off. If you have the app set up properly, you can just run it again every so often to solve update overwrites.

To "decrap" Windows, get the free Revo Uninstaller. You can get rid of a mountain of chyte by selectively using it.

I often see. Net updates come to Windows 10
Ok I have tested many things that can be used in vs,c# for example
But if don't need. Net for example
I am also curious if w7 is too old for vc 2017 I written need crt 2015?

:biggrin:  Well they do have a captive crowd. So, why not.  :tongue:  Seems to be a growing trend to find advertising in places that you would least expect.  :badgrin:

The thing that drives me nuts is every phuking site I buy from has a popup wanting all of your details. Some sites will not work if you don't fill in the details so I have a perfect technique for them, I buy things from someone else. Information is money and I don't give it to some company that I owe nothing to.
