I have run Windows Update Mini Tool (ver. 20.12.2016) on the fresh WES7 SP1 installation created from the official IBW files (KB3138612 must be first installed to get WUMT working properly). 1) I am trying to identify the following updates: - telemetry - Meltdown and Spectre (those updates are known to slow down the system) None of Windows 7 telemetry updates listed in the first post of the two MDL threads listed below were picked up by Windows Update Mini Tool. Is there any more complete list available anywhere? Or maybe those kinds of updates have never been rolled out for embedded systems. [as a new member I am not allowed to post links so I am providing thread titles instead] Simplix Pack to update Live Win7 System/ Integrate hotfixes into Win7 distribution Remove Telemetry and Windows 10 Related Updates from Windows 7 I am trying to keep the OS bloat-free as much as possible (it is only intended to run a few specific applications) and also be able to run it smoothly on older hardware. 2) Windows Update Mini Tool lists three different versions of most updates. Which one is the best to use: x86...cab x86-express...cab x86...psf Here is an example: Code: [ Security Update for Windows Embedded Standard 7 (KB2479943) ]

- yes, Telemetry updates (and Telemetry components within Security Monthly Quality Rollup, and some Security-Only updates) are not applied for Embedded editions - there are no specific updates for Meltdown and Spectre, most updates since 2018-01 contain the mitigation so just disable it Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "FeatureSettings"=dword:00000003 "FeatureSettingsOverride"=dword:00000003 "FeatureSettingsOverrideMask"=dword:00000003 - the big cab file is the one to use express and psf files are only usable by WU itself
