Has anybody else who uses the Update Catalog site in IE found that the site seems to have recently removed the 'basket' feature that allowed you to select multiple files and then download them all in one go? The Update Catalog site was the one website that actually worked better in IE than any other browser as the ActiveX downloader control it used to use was very convenient as it would permit multiple downloads, put the updates into properly named folders, and kept their original time stamp. Now if you access it in IE it shows the same view as with any modern browser, you have to download every file individually, and they don't get put into nicely named folders any more. If you have not seen this 'basket' view before in the catalog, do a Google image search for 'Update Catalog' and you will see that in IE you used to get an 'add to basket' button instead of a 'download' button next to each file.
Strangely KB5030209 and KB5030261 sucesfully installed for me even after installing KB5030265, which is supposed to contain the previous 2.
I thought that installing the full package wouldn't allow me to install the separate hotfixes, which I didn't know that also existed. BTW, since IE is being updated, is it still working? It's been quite a while since I'm using the IE -> Edge bypass, so I haven't tested the updated version.
They should have called it "Update for the Trident engine". The actual browsing GUI has been neglected for many years, now.
Please allow me to ask partly OT and probably stupid questions about the monthly .NET Security and Quality Rollups: They are fully cumulative - correct? I ask, because on system with an update status of spring(ish) 2022 I manually installed KB5030182 (= 2023-09 rollup) and yet got KB5021091 (= 2022-12 rollup) offered via Windows Update. Is the reason simply that WU does not notice that an "after ESU period update" is installed? Btw... what is the correct procedure with a new installation of .NET 4.8? Simply "SSU (if not up to date) -> .NET (e.g. with the offline installer) -> latest monthly Rollup"? Thanks and greetings, Martin
Windows Update does not recognize 2023-09 rollup unless you deployed WU ESU Patcher - Standalone How did you exactly installed KB5030182? it's just a wrapper for 3 updates .NET 4.8 only require SHA2 support, no SSU matter
