TIA []'s Actually, no, I didn't waste the time on it. I could not use the WinXP as a client, to reach a file share on Win10, so I removed the patch soon after install. After the patch, Win10 can still reach WinXP, but WinXP cannot reach Win10. I got NTLMSSP "status_needs_more_processing" and WinXP claimed "service not started" when it tried to reach the Win10 machine. Maybe it'll work for you when you test it. The patch can be removed, and after all the computers are reboot, everything will be back to normal. When all patched, the Win10 end still claims to be supporting SMBv1 and SMBv2. Something else seems to be screwed up during negotiation. I don't know enough about SMB to tell you what that is. I just watched for a couple minutes with Wireshark. Paul |

There is a report in acf that installing the patch will disable USB. Let's block port 445 and wait for further info before installing a "security update" from M$.

Here is the update: http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...14fa6ee9dd.exe For some of the other OSes, it looks like since a patch was released in March, there is a slimy trail of KBs for the users. This superseded by that, superseded by something else. Let's hope that kb4012598 provides one-stop-shopping for a day or two... before they change it all again. Paul |

[Try checking for updates.] -- The link previously provided (thanks!) finally worked, so I updated the exe and installed it and it rebooted my system. Now I'm just wondering how I figure out that it's "really" installed. It didn't change my "subversion" of WinXP which is 2002 SP3. Shouldn't patching Winxp change something in a subversion number somewhere? |

So I don't even know how to tell if the update worked. Is there a subversion lookup somewhere? All I see is it's 2002 Winxp home sp3. |
