China strikes again.

Yep, I suspected as much. I am afraid MS doesn't love us W10 users any more ... snif snif

:cry:

Brink,

On the topic of ISO files, do you know whether Media Creation Tool for W10 is still creates an ISO file reading as 19041.1288, or have they updated it? Many thanks for your time!

Is this something us generic home users need to take some action on, or is this just an enterprise issue?

Looks like MS picked the wrong year to try to force so many users to buy new computers...

"machine learning (ML) training" ??

I don't think so. My machine already knows too much, and it has never responded well to any "training" I tried on it. :chuckle:

I wondered about those dang long filenames! Thank you very much for that very useful bit of information!

:D

Thanks for the clarification! So MS alerts users to an insecurity at their end, under their control, without eliminating the insecurity in 'Windows as a Service' ...

For a while now, downloads from Microsoft sites like the MS Update Catalog have been flagged as shown in the attached images:

I notice this preview release cites only 19044 (21H2). Does this perhaps mean an end to the co-updating of 19042 and 19043 alongside 19044?

Thank you, Brink!

Brink,

I'm afraid HP stopped updating the 5P drivers years ago, although the same old drivers are available if you dig deeply enough in HP's support pages.

Yeah, I know the LJ5P is old, but it is built like a tank - as long as you can get toner cartridges for it, it just keeps working.

I don't see why windows won't just let me use an admin command...

None of the syntax or commands given so far have worked on W10 21H2.

Yes, I read that post, and I am afraid I didn't really understand it. It seems to describe DU as a way for large enterprise systems with many PC's to deliver updates via common install media which...

This update seems to be part of the Dynamic Update ecosystem. MS Update is not offering it to my desktop system using 21H2, but I don't think I am using Dynamic Update. Can anyone shed some light...

I think KB4023057 may outlive Microsoft itself .... :rolleyes:

@Brink, Try3,

You ever seen anything like this?

:what:

Thanks again Brink!!

Brink,

Thanks for the info! Since the DISM information indicates version 19041, does that mean a clean install using that ISO would require the use of the "Enablement Package KB5000736" to bring...

Thanks Brink!

Brink,

Would you recommend for or against a non-Insider, non-Beta, but experienced Windows user to use this KB5000736 to enable the 21H1 features hidden in their 19042.985 installation rather...
