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

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
