    Question did Microsoft restore TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA or did it work again due to VMware? Is this a bug I have noticed, that once you install the latest SSU update, it breaks the Windows update. I was told to have 8 gigs of RAM but I'm on a laptop. I might do 4 gigs of ram even that is tough running Vista inside on vmware. I'm reworking with TLC games here is one example, cnc-ddraw ? (Mohawk engine Might Work) & DDrawcompat 0.6.0 for Vista & 7 now fully Works, despite Broken GDI caused by Virtualizations non-existent apis. Supports All of The Learning Company Games. Can this be fixed? I am away of legacy update but has its problems with Vista. I am also away of WU_DataStore_Fix.zip. i'm Assuming abbodi1406 can't do anything.

    Yes, it's restored

    WU_DataStore_Fix doesn't currently help much
    to reduce the error rate, you should not install ESU preparation packages KB4538484 or KB4575904, only install latest KB5016891
    you may also not install latest SSU directly, install on phases nd run WU scan after each:
    2020-05 SSU KB4555448
    2022-07 SSU KB5016129
    2023-12 SSU KB5033466
    2025-01 SSU KB5050682
    latest SSU

    It did help a lot technically 2022-07 SSU works on 1st run with 4 gigs but not x86 windows but still, it is surprising that Microsoft is not optimizing windows update.
    when it is still getting updates for server 2008. I will be reporting this to legacy update for other people havening issues with ESU updates breaking windows update.

    as for KB5016891 I'm not sure I think it's more on server 2008.

    What do you mean?
    all ESU prep and updates are for Server 2008 WU only
