Hmm, I was just looking into KB2949927 and am a bit confused. This update was purportedly withdrawn by Microsoft, yet it appears in the WHD downloads for me (in Security folder). Is there any reason for this? (I have not had any problems with this particular update and it seems to be a very broad one.) Last night in VM I installed all updates but not any Additional or Extra ones (except IE11). Maybe it's due to having installed KB2984972 (the RDC update) or whatever the reason, but I had a bunch of RDP updates offered by WU. Does anyone know anything about this? I kept installing them, then at one point 3 of them failed, then I uninstalled all RDP related updates, ran WU again, again got 5 or 6 offered during 2 WU runs, to finally be quiet about it after about 6 reboots... I don't really want to install those RDP updates but I'm not sure what triggered them to be offered. Is it 2984972?
No reason, withdrawn updates usually stays in WHD until further notice and it's still available from MS servers actually, lot of its components are now included or superseded by other updates RDP updates are offered by default to all systems
abbodi1406 forgot to update the windows7 changelog to reflect the botch update kb3004394. This update is still valid for other system.
OK, I did another VM install with updates applied (LDR>GDR mostly). Then also had a collection of WU-Satisfy updates I maintain (that get offered on WU) and installed those with regular GDR script. I skipped the RDP updates because of the failed updates I was experiencing yesterday, to see if it had to do with the RDC trouble update 2984972 or not, so that's partially why those RDP updates you'll see below get offered on WU. Not totally, though, as I had many of those problematic updates fail or get re-offered more than once on WU, pretty much like you can see below, which are the results of today. It's just some notes I kept along with installing updates on this VM install: Isn't that crazy? I've done a 100 builds using these methods (I use sysprep) but never had those updates fail and keep being offered like this. I remember from some months ago I also had problems with RDC/P updates but I can't quite remember what the exact problems were. Anyway, WU finally shut up and it looks like it resolved some of the issues by itself. EDIT: btw, using the same routine with Win7 x86 I had no such issues.
yes I check the list of hotfixes that I have with your changelog to be sure (and each time I am wrong with this hotfix)
Out of fun and since there are many hotfixes that do suppress published WU updates, i made some sort of a "mini" update list it's manual and just for fun, i won't make an official WHD list for it the list is just an approach to follow/combine between WU list of updates and there superseders in WHD list so it's devided into 3 main sections, plus one extra optional section: - Important - Recommended - IE11 - Satisfy "extra" the list is built based on LDR branch usage (except KB2574819-v2, KB2685811, KB2685813 which installed normally) Important updates: Spoiler Code: KB2900986 KB2898851 KB2604115 KB2736422 KB2742599 KB2840631 KB2861191 KB2861698 KB2911501 KB2931356 KB2937610 KB2943357 KB2968294 KB2972100 KB2972211 KB2973112 KB2978120 KB2979570 KB2479943 KB2511455 KB2560656 KB2564958 KB2570947 KB2579686 KB2620704 KB2621440 KB2631813 KB2654428 KB2690533 KB2698365 KB2705219-v2 KB2719033 KB2727528 KB2770660 KB2803821-v2 KB2807986 KB2813430 KB2835361 KB2847311 KB2847927 KB2862330-v2 KB2862335 KB2862973 KB2864058 KB2864202 KB2868038 KB2871997-v2 KB2887069 KB2892074 KB2893294 KB2912390 KB2949927 KB2972280 KB2973201 KB2973351 KB2976897 KB2977292 KB2978742 KB2984972 KB2991963 KB2992611 KB2993651 KB2993958 KB3003743 KB3005607 KB3006226 KB3010788 KB3011780 KB3013126 KB2506014-x64 KB2786081 KB2868116 KB2929733 KB971033 KB2670838 WUClient-SelfUpdate KB2856676 KB3000056-v3 KB2644491 KB2584577 KB999994 KB2740232-v2 KB2831013-v3 KB2914677 KB2995054 KB3002297 KB2554876-v2 KB2707157 KB2968363-v3 KB2752259 KB2870165-v3 KB2768486 KB2905407 KB3010024 KB3012696 KB2535094 KB3004383 KB2925489-v3 KB2984640 KB2980344 KB2964073-v2 KB2989671 KB3009350 KB3007196 KB3015692 KB3006112 KB2935389-v3 KB3000406 KB3008558 KB3007207 KB2648039-v2 KB2886366 Recommended updates: Spoiler Code: KB2984976 KB982018-v3 KB2685811 KB2685813 KB2506928-v2 KB2574819-v2 KB2592687 KB2640148-v2 KB2660075 KB2719857 KB2732059-v5 KB2750841 KB2773072 KB2791765-x64 KB2799926 KB2800095-v2 KB2808679 KB2820331 KB2830477 KB2834140-v2 KB2843630-v3 KB2852386 KB2882822 KB2888049 KB2891804 KB2893519 KB2908783 KB2913152-v2 KB2918077 KB2919469 KB2923545 KB2952664 KB2966583 KB2970228 Kb2977728 KB2978092 KB2985461 KB3001554 KB3006121 KB3006625 KB3008627 KB3009736 KB3013410 KB3014406 KB2870256-v3 KB2923388 KB3001267 KB2915094 KB2905454 KB3016375 KB2932722 KB2939652-v2 KB3005781 KB917607 KB2493989-x86 KB2970215-x64 KB2652029 KB2818604 KB2990941-v3 KB3006499 IE11 packages: Spoiler Code: IE11-KB2841134 IE11-KB2849696 IE11-KB2849697 IE11-KB2976627 IE11-KB3008923 IE11-KB3025390 Existent Updates that needs GDR branch to Satisfy WU: Spoiler Code: KB2604115 KB2742599 KB2871997-v2 KB2937610 KB2972211 KB2973112 KB2978120 KB2979570 KB2698365 KB2813430 KB2862330-v2 KB2862973 KB2973351 KB2984972 KB2992611 KB3003743 KB3005607 KB3006226 KB3011780 KB2732059-v5 KB2750841 KB2773072 KB2820331-x64 KB2834140-v2 KB2908783 KB2919469 KB2970228 KB2978092 KB3001554 KB3008627 KB3009736 Non-Existent Updates that are needed (GDR branch) to Satisfy WU: Spoiler Code: KB2789645 KB2894844 KB2644615-x86 KB2667402-v2 KB2676562 KB2813347 KB2862966 KB2868626 KB2918614 KB2545698 KB2547666 KB2729094-v2 KB2761217 Satisfy list may vary on other systems ====== if anyone want, i made a simple scripts to help gathering, organizing and integrating the updates Spoiler Copy.cmd to gather updates of WHDownloader repository you will need to open the script with notepad and set the variables at top: Code: :: set the architecture to be used (x86 or x64) set arch=x86 :: set the path for WHD repo folder (the main Download Location that appear on top-right of WHD) set repo=C:\Data\WU\ :: use satisfy updates? (1 or 0) set sat=1 you also need to put the "non-existent satisfy updates" next to the script (if you decided to use satisfy) and if you want to include/integrate IE11 lang packs, you can put them next to the script (LanguagePack, Spelling, Hyphenation), or you can manually copy them later to "mini\InternetExplorer11" folder but remember, IE11 LP needs the main OS lang pack to be integrated first -- OfflineInstaller.cmd to integrate updates offline based on Burf's Installer (thanks to him) it's ment and modified for the created "mini" folder structure only, not for all update has one required variable Code: :: set the path for offline mount drectory set target=C:\Mount -- RegistryFixes.cmd optional script to add some registry fixes should be used after integrating updates has one required variable Code: :: set the path for offline mount drectory set target=C:\Mount of course, Copy script will need to be modified each month to add/remove updates have fun
Thanks so much abbodi for this great work If I understand (sorry for my bad english) there are no new hotfix and/or hotfix superseded?
So abbodi, let me try to understand. Are you saying that with just those updates, WU will be silent? I'm not sure I understand it, but I feel great potential in this Main reason being that the amount of updates is getting crazy (and the bloating of the images) so I had been thinking about how to go about this.
