Hi, Just giving a bump that I uploaded my latest 8.1 2026-04 patching guide to: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1910495 My two cents. Thank you.
Technically speaking, you can install it but since some Client packages have been removed, some files will not get updated : https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-8-1-hotfix-repository.47590/page-188#post-1889615

so they waited to end support for 2008 / 2008 r2 to release a new version of 3.5? pathetic microsoft as always.
Indeed, for some reason they include the following files in the IE CU only when a new vulnerability related to those files needs to be fixed ! "Microsoft-Windows-Scripting" cscript.exe dispex.dll scrobj.dll scrrun.dll wscript.exe wshcon.dll wshom.ocx Additionally sometimes also (last time was in the 2025-04 IE CU) : "Microsoft-Windows-Scripting-Shell-Extension" wshext.dll But as you said, they are included in the Monthly Rollup anyway so it's not a problem.
