    Doesn't Windows delta updates always need to go back to .1 base for applying the reverse patching phase? If you already have it on the image wouldn't that be better/quicker?

    Said it before. Check upgrade logs. Lots of intermediary cfg versions used. Hard-terminating errors if a mere orphaned manifest is not found. Feels arbitrary

    This is where you start to lose me. I'm just not sure exactly what you're talking about. I'm new to this in the grand scheme of things.

    The update I linked was for 1809. (1809 is still supported, now I know what you meant)

    How does this thing protect Windows? Sorry, I'm really unfamiliar with uefi rootkits. Never dealt with one.

    Read the update description from microsoft? It blacklists known compromised UEFI modules signatures so windows will ignore them.
    Like I said UEFI modules will reinfect any OS reinstall, intercepting/replacing kernel functions, that's why are most dangerous. Do you really need a lecture about UEFI rootkits from me, google is not enough?

    No, that'll do. I just wasn't sure what it was. I read the description and it sounded similar to the TPM stuff that they were doing with Win 11. I'll look up the rest.

    Sorry if I seem like an idiot. Been living under a rock so to speak. Been using LTSC with updates disabled and so far no problems. (so far that is)

    Point is, after reading the notes and watching a few videos on it. It looks like the only way you're uefi can be infected is if someone is at your computer with an infected USB stick or something.

    "W10 LTSC 2019 till 2029 and after only open code" boy that would be nice but it's it's support is already coming to a close. Speaking of, starting from Sep 20 there will no longer be preview updates for LTSC 2019. What are you thoughts on that. Should you even bother with preview updates?

    @Magmarock ok, honestly I'm not worried at all about these details, for me M$FT was already much better but from 2020 onwards things really got absurd they impose software on the basis of force and the poor users have to support is the end...this way I'm seriously switching to open source at least the user "mounts" the operating system to his liking ;)

    If you're talking about Linux, the problem with Linux is that it doesn't place nice with closed source software. Which includes video games.

    use the newest SSU, Magmarock.
    I have no problem using the 3232 SSU but I get the standalone SSU package (ex. SSU-17763.3232-x64.msu) instead from uupdump.net (just search for either 17763.3232 or 17763.3346 on that site, click on the one for "amd64" and then click the "All Files" link and search for the newest SSU MSU download on that list)

    They are inside the catalog msu/cab too. Yes on uup dump you can get it separately from the LCU.
