Strange, I can't find it in mine :( Can you post a screenshot of how it looks in add/remove programs please?

Here's the screenshot.

And kb889816 is for "Incorrect battery information is displayed after you change the batteries on a portable computer that is in hibernation or in a suspended state in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000"

Thanks for the info. :)

Ive just installed this patch onto my P4 HT machine and ran a 3DMark06 test and it did improve on the CPU test quite significantly. Maybe just a coincidence, im not sure. However it does seem to load programs up faster such as Firefox, Windows Defender and Paint Shop Pro. :)

It does seem to improve speed. But, ever since the patch, my PC stays on the BIOS splash screen for a very long time. This is probably totally unrelated, but what else could do it?

Really... does anyone know what this actually does?

Not related as your system hasn't even loaded the boot loader yet and if it has, it hasn't loaded the kernel yet)

should this be applied to Vista RTM or no?

No, Vista RTM should already have these fixes.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
