    Best thing you can do on x86 is using June 2024 SSU and installing everything but the latest update rollup, after only the SMQR is left then you can install the latest SSU and the latest Rollup, breaking WU for good and getting yourself an updated build

    After completing the updating process you will be on build 6.0.6003.23717 (check build in regedit under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion)

    Actual build revision is not that, it’s what the UBR value says, and it is indeed 23717

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in replying! For the ESU updates, I'm extracting the CAB files from within the MSU's and then installing them with a Forfiles batch file. I installed the Important ones first, Recommended second followed by the Optional afterwards.

    You have some skip black window on vbox 7.x when Vista has ESU? I know need put VBOXVGA but what more do?
