Complete List of What is in AutoPatcher XP 4.5


Recommended Posts

Oh, what the new sounds like. Great app guys. Downloading the latest version now because my dads XP laptop (I'm running 2K on this slow crappy PC) has never run Windows Update lol (he never goes on the net with it). The funny thing was, you know you buy Laptops or PC's with preinstalled windows (OEM) well I thought the Laptop had SP1A preinstalled. Check again about a year later, my bad IMO it's not there LOL. So I got to download SP1A for his laptop. Good job I got broadband, lucky my Dad goes on the Inet with his normal PC and not the Laptop, but still his PC is rather out of date. This is a true time saver of an app, what you going to do when SP2 comes out? I suppose it would be easy to make the first post SP2 build LOL. Great app guys.

Thanks! :) And yep, the first APXP after SP2 is released will be pretty bare, but if Microsoft is how they always are, it won't be empty for long! :rofl:

ewww... im back from the 5-day trip! and wow... my primary pc's cpu is dead so i had to turn the house upside down in order to get on Internet... jeezz...

AP for SP2 will still feature some of the bonus stuff :) i'll have to recover the AP source from my primary hdd... damn, i hate when pcs just die... :(

LOL. Well I got around to installing Auto Patcher on my Dad's PC. It's a lot more secure now :).

After that I did the same on my dads laptop, but before that I had to install SP1A.

This app is truely awsome, imagne me installing like 36 patches all manualy as well as all the other stuff thats comes with the app. It wouldn't happen.

Such a great app guys. M$ should make this offcial because it renders Windows Update useless for me LOL.

bucko, thanks for your comments and support... really, we dont think windows update is useless... its there for a reason. but when you need to update many coputers, or computers with no/slow internet connection, windows update is not a choice... we made autopatcher with that in mind

:( You guys aware that Autopatcher XP March 2004 crashes on systems with the Windows debugger installed (and operational)? I tried it on about 20 different machines, all with a clean XPSP1 installed, all on the Microsoft-provided windows debugger. The crash occurs just after running autopatcher itself, before it gives you any EULA, etc... It's a 1st chance exception, I believe, and there was no way to blow past the bad code (meaning "g" past it). The problem doesn't occur if you're off the debugger (if it's not connected).

Really? :s I'll have Raptor take a look at that... I think you're the first to discover this.

If you need any additional details from me, please let me know. The latest version of the Windows debugger is 6.3.14 (internally), but I don't think they've made any kind of remarkable changes in the debugger itself which would cause this fault. I'll try and use the autopatcher switches today to see if I can weasle a way around the naughty code.

I see where AutopatcherXP detects what updates have been updated from its own previous updates but how about also checking the registry for current updates already installed via the conventional method - Windows Update? It'd make updating computers a lot easier on a network, especially the first time - as opposed to installing all the updates on all the machines.

If this is already done and I've missed it go easy on me, I'm passing this request along for one of my forum members (I've been bad and didn't update with the Autopatcher this month).

Thanks.

lol No problem. Yes, AutoPatcher does scan the registry now and detect previously installed hotfixes. In fact, it asks you in the current release in a checkbox before starting, which you can enable or disable. Observe:

Any detected hotfixes will be deselected and the color will be changed from black to blue to show it's been deselected by the scan. (Y)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm glad I prefaced my question with the fact that I didn't try this month's update yet. I know you guys have always improved each release with new features and was almost certain it would make it there sooner or later. Good job. Now I'll go look for a computer to "play with" and update :laugh:

Cool man, let us know how you like it. So far, there's only a couple minor changes coming to the exe, hopefully nothing too noticable (little things that bugged me though). The March release is the most stable and error free release to date... by far, actually. The extra week of Beta testing really did help. :D

I haven't seen the patches 835732 and 823980 amongst the crtitical items list of windows xp autopatcher. Where are these items?

I think they were discovered after march update, anyway please include them and release another Autopatcher ASAP, 835732 is very important.

Hmm, wish I'd read this thread before. I've been trying to make up a complete CD of everything I use. Could have saved myself downloading the .net framework, shockwave, and java on dial up. lol I even wasted time downloading a java runtime 1.4.2_03 thats older than the one included in AutopatcherXP. Not sure how I did that? lol

Its an amazing amount of programs/fixes to keep track of, kudos!

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
