In particular, it allows you to click multiple items, and put them in your download gueue. For this particular update, it also allows you to specify a target directory. I put the package on my D: drive, which has a bit more room for stuff like this. Sounds like the web page is also doing browser sniffing, if it is rejecting IE11. I would think IE11 still supports ActiveX. Since the Edge browser (Win10) doesn't support ActiveX, you can't even visit that page with Edge, as it would be treated as a "foreign" browser. You will also have to learn to "love" servers like this, because Microsoft has promised to remove downloads from regular web pages. Paul |

Just Microsoft trying another tactic to install their non-security GWX lureware, spyware (telemetry), and non-applicable updates (for software that is NOT installed on your computer). By shoving all updates into a "rollup", they hope to forestall by nuisance anyone from reviewing each update to see which they really need and want. Since Windows 7 main support ceased back in January 2015, the only updates Microsoft should be pushing further are only security updates (until 2020 when extended support ends). We¢re happy to announce today that we¢re making available a new convenience rollup for Windows 7 SP1 that will help. This convenience rollup package, available to download from http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/...aspx?q=3125574, contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016. The GWX lureware is a non-security update. I suspect the first rolloup of mixed "security and non-security fixes" will include KB3035583 (GWX). Thereafter they seem to split their rollups into security ones separate from non-security ones. Of course, and just as before, there are probably lots of non-security updates that you do want. Microsoft has lost the trust of their customers by their aggressive and invasive marketing and lureware to Windows 10 migration. Someone would have to UNroll the 1st mixed (security and non-security) rollup and also UNroll all subsequent non-security rollups to ensure Microsoft's lureware (and other spying, er, telemetry and migration updates that have nothing to do with Windows 7 only) is not included. To be safe, ALL rollups would require analysis. So, great, users have to somehow disassemble every rollup pushed out by Microsoft hereafter to ensure Microsoft's lureware doesn't show up, or perform a full image backup before installing a rollup and possibly (probably) restore the image after checking if the lureware and spying updates showed up. Looks like job for enthusiasts that use a Windows 7 guest OS inside a virtual machine to see what the rollups mash together for updates. I'll continue using WSUSoffline to roll my own repository of Window 7 updates. I can delete the ones that I don't want from its repository rather than install a rollup, see only afterward what got installed, and either uninstall some individually (if possible) or restore the image. Looks like it is time to just disable the BITS and AU services and forget about any future updates for Windows 7. Or, if available, I'll hide each rollup and continue inspecting each offered individual update to determine those that are really needed. Of course, with this new "convenience" scheme, they might stop providing individual update downloads and require you to get periodic rollups. Bad enough you have to dodge the malware without also having to dodge the manufacturer of the OS. |
