2. UEFI install from USB with only OS / programs drive connected using Rufus and ISO from:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7.
3. Installed and updated all drivers.
4. Used DSIM++ to do all OS Updates.... Did in stages, all pre-checked 1st, then about 7 more partial runs will no more recommendations. Did not install any Orange Updates .
5. So here's where I'm at:
Not recommended by DSIM++ (not installed, currently all hidden in WU)
KB3126587
KB3184143
KB3161102
KB3133977
KB3080149
KB3068708
KB3021917
I never install these either (, not installed, currently all hidden in WU)
KB2952664
KB3170735
KB971033
Have these 3 still in Windows Update List:
KB3150513 - Comatability thing for "future OS's" - wasn't planning on installing as Win10 will never be here
KB976932 (9.1 MB) - Described as SP1 - Can't imagine SP1 not being there or it only being 9.1 MB
KB 915597 - Windows Defender Update - This will not install
Suggestions / comments on the red stuff ?
Never ran into any of these on previous clean installs.... most of the other boxes here get fresh installs every year. As this is network data / media server, don't like to take down for any length of time.
