I'm having the same problems with 2162. Anyone else having these problems?

I had the same thing, but it was the beta video drivers (nVdia ForceWare 62.11) i was running that was causing the problem for me. I rolled back to the WHQL 56.72 (now 61.76) and that took care of it.

I've had no other problems.

Well if this needs to be removed go ahead.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\M5Deployment]
"XPSP2"="6E7EA86C-BBC2-476A-8C68-FA5474577712"

Save that as a .reg file using notepad and merge it to your registry. Run WUv5.

Hey, man!

It seems that IT DOESN'T WORK now.

And when I press "Windows Update" now, it goes directly to V5, though it doesn't work.

How can i rollback it back to V4?

My video drivers is old, version 53.03.

No problems with install of 2149. But this new one it hangs, and i don?t know why.

    • Anyone can now use your Instagram photos to generate AI images, here's how to opt out

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Anyone can now use your Instagram photos to generate AI images, here's how to opt out by Ivan Jenic Image: Pixabay Earlier this week, Meta launched Muse Image, a new AI image generation feature that lets users create original images, edit existing photos, and even generate custom ads directly within its apps. At first glance, there’s nothing that separates Muse Image from countless other AI image generators available across the board. However, there’s one Muse Image capability that quickly caused controversy. Namely, Muse Image lets users generate AI images using photos pulled from public Instagram accounts. As long as someone's profile is public, another user can tag that account and use their photos as part of an AI-generated creation. Only private accounts and users under 18 are automatically excluded. This feature caused significant backlash, as soon as the broader public learned about it. It’s unclear why Meta even decided to allow this, as if it hasn’t learned anything from Grok’s case from earlier this year, where users were abusing Elon Musk’s AI to generate explicit images of various X users, celebrities, and even underage children. If we can find at least one positive in this, Meta actually gave users a way to opt out of having their Instagram profiles exposed to Muse Image. So, if your Instagram profile is public, and you don’t want virtually everyone to use your photos with Muse Image, you’ll probably want to turn it off. Here’s how to do that: Open Instagram and go to your profile. Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner. Scroll down to Sharing and reuse. Find the toggle labeled "Allow people to use your content on Instagram with AI features on Meta." Switch it off for both posts and Reels. If you don’t see this option, make sure to update the Instagram app on your phone to the latest version. The very existence of this feature is a strange fit with Meta’s own recent efforts. The company has been vocal about making its platforms safer to use, especially for children. Having content from millions of users directly available for AI remixing certainly doesn’t fit that blueprint.

      Zen Browser 1.21.6b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.6b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.5 Fixes Fixed some localization strings not being translated in some places (#10749) Fixed glance being able to be open a second time when it was already open (#14460) Other bug fixes and improvements.
