I don't know how he found them.

But for stuff that have publicly available KB articles, there is a way to find hotfixes for them, using a brute-force probe of the Microsoft website. Whip up a little script (Perl, Python, etc., pick your weapon of choice) that probes all the recent KB numbers sequentially. This takes only several lines of code if you use Perl with LWP. Maybe a page of code if you do this manually using sockets. If a KB number is valid and there is an article associated with it, look for a "6.1.7601" string that would indicate that the article refers to a hotfix that updates SP1 files. One line of Perl code. Next, look to see if there is a link to request a hotfix (to indicate that this is a private hotfix that has not been released to the DC or WU). Another line of Perl. Let this script run a few hours (probing thousands of URLs takes time), and when it's done, go and do a hotfix request for all of the KB articles you found. In fact, there are long-established sites that do a similar sort of thing. kbalertz basically does such brute-force probes when it finds new articles to announce.

 

Its look like most of this updates were published on wzor.net in post-sp1 update list.

 

ooo, sounds a bit complex for me, I'll just wait for more sharing

 

79 installed, the following 15 came up as not applicable and there were several x86 hotfixes mixed in with the x64's.

Windows6.1-KB2495655-x64
Windows6.1-KB2491890-x64
Windows6.1-KB2490728-x64

Windows6.1-KB2481453-v2-x64
Windows6.1-KB2480641-v2-x64
Windows6.1-KB2480118-x64
Windows6.1-KB2477730-v2-x64

Windows6.1-KB2462137-v2-x64
Windows6.1-KB2413670-v3-x64

I assume they come up as not applicable because of windows features that aren't installed or are of a newer version?

 

You need not to know about it,
because zukona share new hotfixes or solor will do so, and sometimes I will do so.
Even if you do not know about it,
you can get almost all of new hotfixes.

 

Hey Sweet in that last hotfix pack #4 what KB was it that updated the OS Kernel?

 

The kernel update is KB2417038.

Keep in mind though, updating the kernel alone doesn't really mean much. You could have a clean install of Windows and use just the kernel update, and the verison reported for Windows will be the one for the kernel update. This does not mean it is any more updated than having all updates except for that kernel update installed, in which case the version reported will still be the same as it was before you started installing any updates

Admittedly the kernel is the 'core' of Windows, but the update may not serve any more than to fix a minor bug, without providing any new features, performance gains, or other niceties. If the intended goal is to have a more updated Windows, then it would be necessary to install all the updates, not just those that give Windows a higher build number

 

I installed most of them already only ones i have yet to touch are the ones without any articles. Hopefully they get published soon. Ty for the KB
