Just as a thought, there's a program called ClearTweak that you can use to adjust the settings of your Cleartype font smoothing more preciesly than the six window choices at the MS website.

You can check it out here, and it's 773KB so bloating shouldn't be a prob.

Just a thought. I have to agree with most of the people here, keeping it straight MS update and reserving the specialized programs for an addon is genius. I also repair computers, and having this saves me and my customers time and money. ThanQ.

neopwi I dont understand why that program has to run all the time, cant it just set the cleartype reg settings?
hey i have a Question here, should i be installing updates that got released after the November update was released?  or should i wait for the december one that includes the newest updates
You can install them. The December release will read your registry and be able to detect if they're already there or not.

@Emon - I'm not gonna include RegSeeker. I know it can do good, but as Slaughter said, it can cause harm as well. Sorry guys, this isn't goin' in.

@TYT - I'll look into the program, thanks.

Keep up the good work guys! (Y)

The only good thing about Regseeker is that the tweaks worked fine.  When it comes to cleaning out the registry; it's not safe cause It showed me stuff that was safe to delete but in reality It wasn't safe to delete to begin with.

True true... but I just don't feel that I should include it (or anything like it). Just remember, you can always include whatever you wish yourself! :D

Anywho, I need to get some shut-eye... see ya all on the flip-side! ;)

Okay, the November Update has been released, so it's time to start thinking of what we can put in the December Update!

I'll start you off:

1. I'm adding MSN Plus! (I got approval)

2. I'm adding the Flash Player

So let's hear your suggestions. :)

Please note, this is for suggestions only, everything else should still be posted in the main thread. :D

neopwi how about, opensource video audio codecs? xvid, ac3filter, media player classic

Hey guys...

Was installing the Nov update on a few machines.. had time to kill... so I actually watched it install 101 patches.

Saw a quick spelling mistake when it was installing the "Desktop Manager PowerToy" Desktop was spelt "Destop" It was displayed in that info area just above the current update status bar.

Ya... sad I noticed that... :rolleyes: but it was there.

Quick suggestion for the Dec update... The ability to list all installed Microsoft patches/hotfixes. It's just a "/l" switch using a Q or KB article from MS. Great job with the nov update :D :D

Nice catch! I'll hafta fix that. :) As far as the "/l" switch... when would you want that done, before all the patches are installed, or after? I'm not even 100% sure we can work that in... but I'll see if we can't do somethin' for ya! ;)

EDIT - Just tried it myself, I have so many installed that I have to go to a higher res just to see them all (1280x1024 Just barely gets them all in). Not sure if it would really be practical...

Edited by FlishFun

It'd be nice to see the entire "before and after" picture of installed hotfixes... After AutoPatcher... there are a LOT of patches installed... same prob wit me and the screen resolution displaying all the patches with the /l. Is there a switch to write the stuff to a log file and then parse it to the autopatcher screen?

well atm i can only detect hotfixes... not DirectX and NET framework stuff... and i suppose you mean /l switch will ONLY show a list of installed updates, not update anything, right?

Yes, only installed updates, like this (I cut the window up so it's easier to view... keep in mind, it's really just one REALLY long window):

please dont get msgplus, its not win. or gives you anything so helpful that it should be included in the autopatcher..

hey, thats my opinion anyways..

Wow, you're officially the first person to tell me they didn't want MSN Plus. I know it's not Windows, but there's a reason why I chose to install it. That reason is simply, I've gotten many requests for it, and I know many people use it. It will be included, but I'll set it as not default. :)

Make that 2... probably lots of miranda/trillian users out there.. or people who just hate it... Good idea with not having it as default

Well, don't worry. I promise to leave it set to not install as default. And I'll put it in the "Messenger Options" section. That way anyone who wants to install MSN6 or Windows Messenger 5 can choose that if they want to as well.

I was setting up a new machine the other day and decided to watch the progress bars start to finish with all 117 patches I selected....just for kicks, I resized it to near full screen and almost none of the progress bars actually made it to the end....any ideas? Maybe something to lok into for ther December release....and yes, the November update had been installed.

Yes... that's normal. Here's why that is. The bottom bar shows the total progress of all the patches. The top bar though doesn't. It was impossible for us to tell what stage each update was on, so what we did is I had Raptor just make a timer for the first bar. When the update starts, it just starts moving. It doesn't know how the update is going, but it shows you that something is happening. We tried to tweak the time so that for most updates the timer will almost reach the end before the next one starts. So it's not a glitch... it's the way it was designed. lol And actually they do reach the end. It will shoot to 100% then instantly back to 0% for the next update. You may see it flash for a split second. :)

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
