Well, strictly speaking, "yesterday", but if you're running Win7 like me it takes a day of waiting to get the damn downloads anyway... *sigh*
i tried to apply hte patch to my linux, but it didn’;t take :)
I love windows 7- but decided to take the plunge to linux for my main os for all online work- I run windows 10 in dual boot but don’t allow Internet access- I’ll switch back to windows gladly IF they do away with forced updates and all their spyware/phone home crap- and do away with their aggressive forcing of spyware/phone home stuff-
One annoyance i had with windows 7 was that windows updates took forever (I always did manual updates)- it would just sit there, sit there, and sit there- before the list would even update to the newest updates- then it would drag out for a very long time to download the update- then it would take forever to actually update- and even then sometimes the updates wouldn’t take and it would go into an endless reboot- (fortunately i run RollbackRX which allowed me to do a rollback before windows loads to before the update- )
I don’t know what was wrong with the update- and i wasted many many hours/days trying to find a cure- but couldn’t-
I’m done with their updates. I bought this computer to use applications. Since Feb 9, security patches have been breaking Corel Video Studio. MS has taken the stance that it isn’t their problem, tough luck.
Many of the patches they apply to Win 7 (and 8.1) are actually for Win 10.
Linux Mint FTW! ;^)
