Two small issues with AP July 2007 (beside those that have already been discussed)

1) European Union Expansion Font Update: it is installed correctly (at least, WU does not complain on it beng missing), but it never appears in blue, just like it's not detected)

2) KB921108: also in this case it never appears in blue; when I try to install it "by hand" I get the message "this software update cannot complete because it is already included with the version of Windows Media Format SDK installed on your system". Maybe this happens because I have installed WMP10 after the july update?

Hey guys, i've got a question:

Is there a dutch translation available for the may, june and july versions of autpatcher?

If there isn't: what's the best way to update a "clean" pc? Just install the feb 07 release of autpatcher (which is available in dutch) and let windows update do the rest?

Thanks in advance!

New bie, take a look at this topic that you will find the french ap. about installing any other language that isn't in your own language will not work. and, if you try install manually, you will have a lot of issues in your system. so, don't do it!

anything that you install in your machine can make your system a little bit slower. in this case, you are only installing updates in your system and making your machine more secure. i still know a lot of guys that thing that the first version of winxp is better, because it seems runs fast. that same guys blame everything because they got a virus or something almost each time that they go online. "it's just format", they say. but i really don't think that a full format is a solution. you must be protected, otherwise your AV/firewall will be useless. so, you must update your machine, even if this can make your system a little slower. you may update it by windows update or by AP. by WU, you will not get a lot of updates that AP has, but the size of download is a little bit smaller and you need download that every single time that you install a machine. with AP, even with a version of jan/07, you at least will have a lot less updates to do. and, if you have the release of the month, you most probably will have every single update ready to install

Hi,

Installing large numbers of hotfixes, patches and updates can fragment the files on your hard drive.

This is especially true on a clean XP installation.

You might like to check your registry and page file fragmentation using this free utility from SysInternals:

If these files are fragmented then this tool will also allow you to perform a boot time defragmentation of these files.

Kind Regards

Simon

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
