Moderators hazelnut Posted November 20, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2018 Quote Microsoft plans to release an update early next year for the company's Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems that add support for SHA-2 update handling to them. Updates are delivered using SHA-1 and SHA-2 currently. SHA-1 is a hashing algorithm with known weaknesses and Microsoft plans to do away with SHA-1 support in April 2019 to use SHA-2, an improved hashing algorithm, exclusively going forward. Quote While that is no problem for Windows 8.1, Windows 10, or the server equivalents, it is one for devices running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008. The reason is simple: SHA-2 is not supported by these operating systems when it comes to updates. So basically if you don't install this update when it is offered you won't get anymore updates https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/20/running-windows-7-or-server-2008-you-will-need-this-patch/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy2 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 - I am glad that it will be included in one of the next Rollup Updates. No need to worry too much. Just be good boy/girl and install all the upcoming Rollup updates. - Upgrading Win7 and Server 2008 to SHA-2 will also reduce the complexity of the update procedure for Microsoft. Why didn't they do it much earlier ? System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 11, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just a reminder to watch for this critical update either in this month's patches or next month's. . Quote Customers running legacy OS versions (Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2) will be required to have SHA-2 code signing support installed on their devices by April 2019. Any devices without SHA-2 support will not be offered Windows updates after April 2019. To help prepare you for this change, we will release support for SHA-2 signing in 2019. Some older versions of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) will also receive SHA-2 support to properly deliver SHA-2 signed updates. Refer to the Product Updates section for the migration timeline. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4472027/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
