    advanced update windows 7

    in Windows Security

    Posted

    - What did the "Advanced Update" do in Vista ? Download new drivers for some hardware components ? And/or download updates for other MS software ? e.g. MS Office ?

     

    - I still use MS Works/Office 2003 on my Win 7 laptop and when I activated "Microsoft Updates" (NOT "Windows Updates") then I received the updates for MS Office 2003. MS still had them.

    - I also received (after the latest re-install) driver software for my touchpad & screen hardware. And I received an update for my laser printer after installing the software. But I didn't receive new software updates for e.g. the network adaptor. Like I did when I still had my XP laptop.

     

    The story above suggests that there aren't any driver updates available for your hardware. I also installed my Win 7 system using an unpacked *.ISO file from a USB stick.

     

    - driver for graphic, printer and ms office 2010

     

    - there is no option to activate microsoft update, i dont know why, i dont know where

     

    - on my xp, vista and old 7 too, but not on my new installed version...

     

    7 has updates for printer, graphic and soundcard, but not in my new version

    Another thought is that the person that thought up Windows ME (release version No.4.90) had a hand in it! why call it "ME"................ah who knows lets face it there seems to be no rime no reason for the official Windows Names and corresponding Windows version numbers:

     

     

    Windows ME was the "Millennium Edition" --> for privatuser, gamer, the last windows of DOS-Base

     

    many opportunities to run programs in the dos-mode has been removed.

    How to install drivers and other optional updates from Windows Update
     

    Even if you have specified that all important and recommended updates from Windows Update to automatically download and install, you still might not get all the updated drivers available for the device. For example, the optional updates include updated drivers that are available for installed hardware or devices. Optional updates are not downloaded and installed automatically by Windows. However, you will be notified when optional updates are available.

    Check to retrieve all available updates for the devices Windows Update regularly for updates, including optional updates. You can check the available updates and then select individual updates in the list of updates found by Windows for your computer. To do this follow these instructions:

    Click here to open Windows Update.

    On the left pane, click Check for updates, and then wait while Windows is wanted for the latest updates for your computer.

    If updates are available, click on the link in the box under Windows Update to see more information about each update. Each of the types of updates may contain drivers.

    Search the Select the updates to be installed for updates for your hardware devices, select the check boxes for the driver to install, and then click OK. There may be no driver updates are available.

    --> this works not on my pc, there is no box for "drivers and other softwareupdates"

    before i installed the new 7, i had an advanced update box... now is ...nothing.

    On the Windows Update page Install Updates. Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    In versions of Windows with Group Policy Editor, you can simply turn off the auto-update the CA list.

     

    --> windows explorer

    --> c:\Windows\system32

    --> gpedit.msc - open

    --> navigate to...

    --> Administrative Vorlagen (administrative templates)

    --> System

    --> Internetkommunikationsverwaltung (Internet Communication Management)

    --> Internetkommunikationseinstellungen (Internet Communication settings)

     

    --> on the right window...

    --> Automatisches Update von Stammzertifikaten deaktiveren (Disable Automatic Root Certificates Update)

    --> set on "yes"

    In versions of Windows with Group Policy Editor, you can simply turn off the auto-update the CA list. Enlarge The automatic updating of the root CA can indeed adjust by using Group Policy, you can create gpedit.msc in the editor. On a Windows 8 without group policy editor turned generating a DWord value DisableRootAutoUpdate = 1 in the registry under HKLM \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ System Certificates \ AuthRoot the unwanted automatic updates from CA. But quite easily is not. Because Microsoft ships with only a very reduced set of CA certificates about Windows 8. The website of the telecom CA Even the call https://www.telesec.de, Firefox innately familiar with it will cause an error in IE, Safari and Chrome.

     

    Against any lasting doubts whether the SSL encryption in Windows really can not offer the expected protection from unwanted eavesdroppers, so that ultimately helps only the change of the operating system. If you are afraid to, can at least switch to Firefox, which comes with its own cryptographic services.

    here the google translation...

     

    Doubtful updates endanger SSL encryption

    What makes Windows when it encounters an encryption certificate whose authenticity can not check? It does not beat about the alarm, but asks Microsoft to see if you happen to know someone there who wants to explain the certificate for real.

     

    On the encryption of Windows can not really be relied upon. For over a largely unknown function, Microsoft - as commissioned by the NSA - the system at any time and invisibly to the user push a new certificate. Certificates are for example used to encrypt https-connections, the transmission of important data and thus to protect from eavesdroppers. So that your browser can also be sure that he is actually speaking with your financial institution on the other end of such an SSL connection, which presented by the bank when calling the website certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) must have been issued. In order to check that every browser has a list of trusted root certificates; Internet Explorer uses the Windows.

     

    But few people know that the Windows CryptoAPI provides a mechanism that updates the list of root certificates dynamically when needed just is not found on the system. Microsoft has this "Automatic Root Certificates Update" introduced without fanfare years ago and enabled by default on all Windows versions.

     

    Asserts that a server's certificate as https://www.correo.com.uy that it has been certified by a certification authority that does not know the browser, Windows loads via the Windows Update server downloads the file "authrootstl.cab". It contains digitally signed information about other root certification authorities; find the sought - So for the above host "Correo Urugayo - Root CA" - in the list whose certificate is downloaded and installed in the certificate store of the system as a trusted publisher.

     

    Windows does not inform the user of this operation. The import is hidden in the background by a system process for the entire system. Even on a Windows Server 2008 so a user without special privileges by calling a URL, a new root CA anchored in the system; he can then no longer be removed from the system.

     

    If you think that would affect only the Internet Explorer and he was with Chrome or Safari on the safe side, you are wrong. Both browsers use the crypto infrastructure of the operating system - Windows so also the KryptoAPI - and thus show exactly the same behavior as the Internet Explorer. Only Mozilla maintains its own crypto libraries. This Network Security Services (NSS), neither the CA from Uruguay still a comparable dynamic update mechanism. Consequently, Firefox displays when you call the above URL, as expected, a security warning.

     

    The problem with dynamically reloaded CA certificates is that thus the TLS / SSL encryption can be easily overturn. In principle, it is thus possible to certain people or groups at any time foist additional certificates that allow breaking the encryption as a man-in-the-middle. With a secretly subsequently installed CA certificate about the NSA could read along the entire SSL-encrypted network traffic of a target person. Of course, such a CA then compromise and S / MIME-encrypted mails or sign Trojans so that they can pass as a legitimate driver software.

     

    It is here, mind to CAs to be installed selectively and almost invisible on individual PCs, check given certificates. This is something completely different than documented, publicly available updates to the trust the crypto infrastructure, for instance via the global Windows Update mechanism. To our questions, why has also implemented a dynamic reload mechanism, Microsoft did not answer.

     

    What CAs nachinstallliert in this way, you do not know exactly. There is a wiki with a list of certified CAs for Windows 8 [2]; whether this is really complete, but one can hope at best. Currently contains delivered in Germany dynamic list authsrootstl.cab about 350 CAs. But even if this should correspond to the list in the Microsoft wiki, it is not known whether changes in this list if necessary.

     

    Already, the certificate lists of the content distribution network are delivered by Akamai, so it would be no problem, as users in China or Germany to present a different list than US citizens. Given the already documented in the context of PRISM collaboration between Microsoft and the NSA must assume that such backdoors in encryption functions are used for the collection of information.

    i have read the requirements... i mean with my hardware on this pc it will not work... :-(

     

    Windows Essentials 2012 requires the following:

     

    • Operating system: 32- or 64-bit version of Windows 7, or 32- or 64-bit version of Windows 8, or Windows Server 2008 R2.

    • Processor: 1.6 GHz or higher with SSE2 support. SSE2 is supported on Pentium 4 processors or newer, and AMD K8 processors or newer.

    • Memory: 1 GB of RAM or higher

    • Resolution: 1024 × 576 minimum

    • Internet connection: Online services require dial-up or high-speed Internet access (provided separately—local or long-distance charges might apply). High-speed Internet access is recommended for some features.

    • Graphics card: Windows Movie Maker requires a graphics card that supports DirectX 9.0c or higher and Shader Model 2 or higher. For DirectX 9 hardware on Windows 7

     

     

    i mean the problem is perhaps the last point...  it doesnt work with dx 9.0c and there is no really driver for w7.

        Driver version    8.1.9.8
       Memory    256 MB

     

    but i will only the email-client from 2012, not the movie maker... is there another way to install only LiveMail 2012?

    Have you previously had an earlier version Windows Live Essntials installed?

     

    Is your date and time right?

     

    Have a look in Windows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages showing about the same time as you tried to install.

    i have windows 7 new complete new installed without any version of live essentials.

     

    date and time is ok
