The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

I hope that I didn't confuse anyone. If you still look it up - it will say 5.1.2600 (As in Still Windows XP) - but do me a Favor & open Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer or Outlook Express & check out the Program Version Numbers using the "About" menu item. Ah there she is: "6.0.2900.2180_XPSP_SP2_RTM" - and guess what I used to have a lot of Problems with Windows Explorer Crashing on me all the time - So Far it has only Crashed on me Once - But hey I an still Breaking the OS in!!! I like how MS Fixed up Internet Explorer & Outlook too! I think that I will continue to use IE - But I am going to Switch E-mail Clients!!!! :woot:

does anyone know if when you upgrade to SP2, it automatically forces you to go to WindowsUpdate 5?

and for thsoe that it does.... if you have a illegal cd=key... does it let you use it? (i'm thinking no?)

Yup.

I updated to WU5 before SP2 and it didn't let me use the key, but once I updated SP2 (and it reinstalled WU5 anyway), it let me use it.

Here is what everyone has been waiting for. :)

What should be written there?

My first Post :)

Hello Neowin!

Is it available in french? I just went to MS website and even in english, it says that it's still not available for download so I was wondering if it has been released yet in french.

From MS:

" Those using the English version of Windows will start receiving updates in the next few days, Microsoft said."

So, no other languages atm.

    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
    • "Microsoft says there are no known issues." I give them one day.
