I want to use Nord VPN, but am told by them that I need the above mentioned update installed. Seems that was the one with the bootloader problem.... My Win 7 Sp1 is updated incl. Oct 2024. Should/Can I install that update? Update installer says it is not installed What do you advise? Thank you
KB3033929 is a cumulative update which was replaced about 8 years ago by the October cumulative of that year.
See: catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=b798e0ca-e40a-41a3-bf2f-b4f11b0aa679#PackageDetails Spoiler The update is even included with the official pre-ESU Monthly Rollups. The advice from the experts is that you likely don't need to install this update, and it's possible that Nord VPN's instructions are outdated. This is probably what you need: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 Note: Make sure to download the correct version for your system architecture and install both the x86 and x64 versions if you're using a 64-bit system.
