Why has Microsoft set a cutoff date on extended support for Windows XP?
Windows XP and Office were released over 10 years ago. Microsoft is now focused on two more recent releases of its primary operating system: Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows no longer ships free security fixes for Windows XP after April 8, Microsoft will provide some updates through July 14, , mainly to help larger enterprise organizations complete the transition to updated software and operating systems.
These updates are misnamed. They do not fix any newly identified issues in the operating system. Yes, the change has the potential to have a huge impact on all of us.
Net Frameworks. Yet, I have not installed theses. I have Internet Explorer 8 installed with all the updates released until May 4th for it also installed. However, as I have the Automatic Updates configured to notify me before any new updates are transferred and installed, I was soon prompted to install several new updates. However, looking through the denominations of the updates, some are said to be for WEPOS and POSReady including one cumulative security update for Internet Explorer 8 , while others are said to be for Windows Server security updates for Microsoft.
NET Framework 2. NET Framework 4. Anyone who installed all these updates, available up to this day, has had any consequent problems afterwards with their Windows XP systems? And is anyone who applied the registry tweak, still able to access Windows Update webpage at the present day? Si he podido usar en una instalacion limpia de xp sp3 esta modificacion del registro de windows. Una vez usado un paquete para actualizar xp hasta marzo del he podido usar ie para seguir actuailzando el xp.
Thank you so much for this hack. Windows Update even shows which updates are for Windows 98 in general and which ones are for POS installations. This is merely an unconfirmed hypothesis, it is just my guess. I have all security updates released until April 8th for Windows XP, installed. I checked file Wuaueng. So it means that up until present day, you have always been able to get access to Windows Update site when running Windows XP?
Eu verifiquei o meu ficheiro Wuaueng. Mesmo agora? The Software simply crashes with address information. I have not determined which specific updates are the cause. I had this registry hack applied to all XP machines in my environment after a few weeks of problem free testing. I regret this because until sometime in July or early August , nearly all machines started having problems.
The systems were all stable and virus free due to a team of responsible users and enterprise AV and Firewall. To remedy the situation, I have been restarting problematic systems in safe mode and uninstalling recent updates.
After uninstalling one update Makes no difference which one XP will boot without problems. The black screen of death issue is persistent and reoccurs regularly after unexpected shutdown from electrical storms, or from simply shutting a machine down over the weekend. I will say that I have a couple of machines that appear to be immune from the BKSOD and I have not had time to evaluate what makes them special.
I have now decided to either upgrade existing computers to Win 7 or to replace. Find a local computer repair shop that can refurbish any of your XP machines that are worth holding onto with Windows 7. Also, the Goodwill in my area is legally refurbishing and selling computers with Windows 7 for very cheap. One of the updates January?
In other words, no change to the machine, but this problem went away. Weirdly my laptop Dell Latitude D immediately started blue screening. With no system restore point fortunately I found that the machine blue screened whenever the Dell USB mouse was plugged in as well as my USB printer when powered up. Conventional USB 2. Reading elsewhere suggests that this problem first manifested itself when users upgraded to SP3 but my machine has been SP3 forever.
Any ideas other than uninstalling the 42 updates one-by-one to see which update is causing the BSOD? I recommend uninstalling all the POS updates. The hack caused a lot of problems for me — Mainly the dreaded black screen of death — across a variety of machines. I would revert the registry setting to stop receiving the POS Ready updates as well. Thanks for the reply MickMack. Lesson learnt, am going to uninstall all the POS updates. At point 1, the first regular updates are recorded in a new installation of Windows XP, then Microsoft Installer 4.
Now only apply to POSReady trick and install updates offered. I have a bunch of XP machines that run great.. It all I need. One machine blew up on me so I loaded a brand new XP pro into it with a cleared disk. Not sure why this works only on this machine??????? So if it goes wrong, you can restore what you had.
There are many good free backup programs available, and for this complete backup I recommend running the backup program from a CD that you make. You should investigate this first. But there is also Aomei and EaseUS. And the easy-to-use ToDo Backup. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
