Default How do I update WinXP based on the new update today from Microsoft?

Reading the news, it seems Microsoft issued an update for WinXP today.
http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-g...513-story.html

But where do I get it and how?

I first went he
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows.aspx
But it said you can't get them there.

It sent me here instead, but it's basically a forum:
http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx

Then I ran a search for "windows xp update":
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sear...HOME&search =
But the latest update is five years old.

Googling for how to update windows xp, I find this:
https://betanews.com/2016/06/03/update-windows-xp/
But it's just a shill for a missing-features app.

Curious, if you installed it, did you track what it alters ?

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.

Thank you for that.

Thanks for that tribal knowledge.
I couldn't get the download to start, but everything else looked good.
I'll wait a day or two and then try again.

Thanks for the wonderful tribal knowledge on patching WinXP!

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$.

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 This superseded by that, superseded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.

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?

That worked.
I'm not used to doing *manual* updates to Windows XP since it was always
automatic in the past.

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.
