A hidden Patch Tuesday gem: A Windows 7 hotfix rollup

[sygnus21]

I installed the update.

Was able to remove some I think it superseded and win update has not bugged me to reinstall those.

Might explain why it isn't being offered by wu.

Not noticed anything else.

Thanks.

BTW I don't know how this migrated into an IE10 discussion

Britton30. It is just a huge roll up of existing updates compressed into one big "fix". It will be most handy for corporates who roll out updates infrequently as they have to make sure it does not break anything on the Intranet. Think point of sale, stock control systems and so on. It will me most useful for us Geek types when re installing 7SP1. You can run the patch, let it install and then once the required reboot has occurred have a secure system. They have got those hours of downloads into one small patch. I have installed it and noticed no difference. Oh and since I never used IE 9 I don't know if that worked OK with the catalogue site either.

I have noticed quite a difference from yesterday. For one thing it turned on DHCP The fixes are in the links below:

An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

Is this a hotfix rollup or an update roll up? From what I've seen it is a hotfix rollup, not an update rollup. Also, does this change anything significantly?

Hum have been off line for a few hours and just found this in my mail so which one should we be using?

Plus is it only for IE10 users I can't quite make out which is which must be something to do with senior "times" LOL!!

Microsoft Update Catalog

Hey good to see so many giving up that awful nicotine habit and I hope someone I know reasonably well is watching

I gave up 44 years ago after a 80 a day habit and I agree with John the smell is just disgusting even now

It changed DHCP to be turned on and the rest of the changes are in the second link.

No it is for Windows 7 not IE 9 or 10.

 

[lehnerus2000]

Does this hotfix automatically remove the updates it "rolls up" from the update list (i.e. if I were to do a new install will I only be offered this hotfix)?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Ok Gary then I should download it then I thought it was an IE specific patch seeing the problems just lately.

[boohbah]

poor thing has been quite neglected.

What improvements have you noticed. I've had it on 24 hours and can't say I have noticed anything at all.
