No Windows Updates in Windows 7 and 8 if CPU not Supported

[Sky Ranch]

There is some good news in this. If I'm correct, you can manually run the security only update from Microsoft's Update catalog page. Has anyone tried that instead?

This is speculative, but I think if one attempts to take that route of circumventing the issue it would probably fail to install once it detects the processor type.

Anyone trying this may need to avoid KB4012218.

Your response, although seemingly a logical reaction to such an idea, shows your unwillingness to accept that Windows is not yours to demand expectations of Microsoft upon.

I'll call it as I see it - you're a troll. You obviously don't know me or my experience so I'll bite. ..32 yrs using MS products, 28 yrs in IT related businesses, 5 yrs managing small business nertworks, been through the dreaded software audits (have you?), have purchased and currently own licenses to $13k worth of MS software.

I know full well about what the license is all about.
