Latest Win 7 updates fuck-up

<< < (8/8)

LeonR:
For those that need a fresh installation of 7 (compatibility purposes, etc) I suggest Simplix update pack. It gets updated at least once in a month.

It is a custom-made package with mostly just the security updates. A full list of what's included is present on the site.

That's interesting. They just select the "useful" and harmless updates I guess. Question is, I don't know how much I could trust this?

That would be the fundamental concern of any win7 user for next X years :)

MajorGeeks have it mirrored: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/simplix_updatepack.html

Aside from the standard downloads-it-then-scan-before-executing, Google haven't shown anything that makes it suspicious.

You can also try WSUS Offline. Both work just fine.

As a tip: I suggest having a clean installation as barebones as possible (no drivers), fully updated. Then run sysprep with the generalize option checked and image the disk (don't let it reboot into the sysprepped OS, use a bootable imaging solution like Acronis, Paragon, Easeus, etc). That way you get an "universal" image that can be deployed to almost any computer without a hitch in less than 30 minutes.
