Someone posted about that WinXP security update on here before, I already had it archived on my portable USB hard disk from not that long ago.

Moot point, but Microsoft who at least on Win10 likes to shove updates down peoples throats is perplexing as all hell in regards to supplying a security update for an unsupported OS. I really don't get why they don't just enable these "critical" updates via Automatic Updates and Microsoft/Windows Updates since they seem to still "give a damn" to release the patch to begin with. Then anyone affected would be offered the update who likely isn't looking for anything new whatsoever, but allot of XP installs probably have automatic updates turned off anyways.

True, that xp file was on here before. I had not recognized that it was the same file for xp. 

So I carefully saved and installed it twice.


No doubt that's why no restart was needed this time.

That first link above was dated 17 jun 19, after that first post in May. That's my best excuse & I'm staying with it. :D

Anyway, the files for the other OSs are different, might be of some use.

Almost the same for me, however I downloaded on my Win10 machine, went to archive it onto the USB external hard disk and low and behold it was already there. It was one of these moments.
