I'm getting the feeling it's a troll. First he refuses to use SimpliX because it being 'protestware' (wtf) and now he's accusing you of hiding something shady.
Hi, could someone please point me to where I could keep track of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, as WU no longer offers them to me automatically? It installed a bunch of updates on 15/03/2025 after I upgraded to BypassESU-v13f.7z, but there has been nothing since.
It is not a "legit protest" (which should happen elsewhere instead of harassing users or system administrators), it is enforcing own political (or any other) beliefs on others in some way. In the screenshot, installation won't continue until user selects the "correct" options, though in other unrelated programs there were instances of clearly destructive behavior. Obviously it creates trust issues whenever I see something like this another time.
I have never seen any option list to run the packs, but if that russian moron didn't start harassing (read: killing) innocent people on very shady grounds maybe the dev didn't feel the need to start his protest. But I am stopping with this discussion here (it's not relevant to the topic of this thread and), i always kept the alternative option for updating the ancient win 7 in it's own dedicated thread.
I see no point in continuing the conversation about who lives where and what happens around. I am a computer user, I don't care about physical world. What matters currently, is how can I get Windows 7 systems up-to-date with official and/or open source tools, without having to re-download everything on each system and waiting a few hours until it all applies.
Catch-22. A great story & book (also film). Also a contrary situation we all must face on occasion. The fastest answer is "money". A "poop" boat load of it to M$ or secondary market businesses specializing & charging an arm & a leg to provide what you are describing. OR you could become educated & skilled in coding & the software intricacies of M$ & Win7 updates. I know, NOT you. Next choice, for free, but with some education & skill development, you go somewhere like My Digital Life. All is provided for free, not exactly opensource or 100% "Kosher" but works if you listen, learn & apply. Your ask of 100% free, 100% according to M$ "rules" & with someone else using their knowledge, skill & time to do it for you is NOT happening. Maybe a dream for you but a nightmare for everyone else. My suggestion: Zorin OS. Also my eventual choice. Or add it to your Xmas & birthday wish list. Thanks for asking; now please stop. ;>))
Is it normal that I cannot see the latest installed .NET updates? I did install KB5055171, using ndp48-kb5055171-x64_8b54e011ef2523e03e43bcef1f306e5aa59b79f3.exe, but it does not show here.
