Enable or Disable Auto Arrange in Folders in Windows 10  

A bit off track (apologies to the moderators), but I went sideways and found a company that tweaks all of MS' win10 & 11 security updates so they will work with Win7 and they also create their own fixes for post EOS Win7 security flaws that are not addressed by Win10/11 updates. They mostly deal with big business (many ATMs still run on XP for instance), but they do accept home customers. PM for details.

There are also forks of common web browsers & email clients that work with Win7 and there are AV & firewall vendors who have committed to support Win7 for the long term, so for those users for whom there are features of Win7 that you really must have, one can continue to safely use Win7 despite MS having abandoned it. Just remember to occasionally manually update security certificates.

Very interesting! Could you name "company that tweaks all of MS' win10 & 11 security updates" etc.? Or is that in "PM for details" (sorry, i'm not native English speaking).
Or post your discovery to a thread that's about this subject AND give directions to that thread?

Lisa9,
The company I settled on is 0Patch, their website is: 0patch.com. There are other companies that offer a similar service. They offer a basic (free) or paid subscription (25 Euros/yr) and they provide patches not just to versions of windows back to at least XP, but also many (and I mean many!) applications, payware, shareware and freeware.

The basic package gives you patches for zero day exploits and some other patches for both windows and various programs. That's better than nothing! Or you can buy an annual subscription to get all of their patches. 0Patch runs all the time in the background and whenever a program file (typically exe, com or dll) is loaded into RAM for which it has a patch, it injects the patch.. This means it makes no changes to windows or program files sitting on your hard drive, thus neither windows nor antivirus software will complain that system files have been altered and if you do a windows repair/restore as long as 0Patch is still installed, it will keep patching. The downside is if you cancel the subscription, you immediately lose all of the paid patches. Because patches are applied on the fly, if any patch causes a program to crash or glitch, you can also go to the 0Patch console and look for any offending patches and deselect them. On average they provide 2 new patches every month that address security fixes just for Windows 7. However, they also supply patches for more recent windows including Win11. One may ask why bother paying for 3rd party patches for Win11 when MS gives them for free, but 0Patch primarily aims at the corporate market and many corporations prefer the option of going for something like 0Patch when they have many computers since it drastically reduces intranet bandwidth when updates come out. It also means the company IT folk can pick which patches/updates to push out to the work computers.

They also offer a 1 month free trial of the full patch package.

Thank you, background info essential too. I'm going to investigate.
As patching up pre-Win10 circumvents the auto arrange problem, your contribution looks rather thorough than off track.

Off track since this is a Win10 forum, not a Win7 one. :)
