But that does use the Windows update page for it
- just can't access the update catalogue on IE or Chrome.
that link accesses it via the RSS feed by adding the KB number to the url ...I currently have MS update nagging me to restart the computer - which I'll do later.
I couldn't understand the mini update one - saw some reviews on the page where some people seemed to have an issue, and I wasn't even sure where to download it to (I'd usually use programs and have those on a different drive to the OS)
I see there's also a separate update for IE security not included in the 4012212, so may try doing that one tomorrow if all seems OK after this one downloads.
That was included in 4012215 which is the Security Monthly Quality Rollup (4012212 is the Security Only Quality Update) I have the former listed in my Updates installed
I'll check before I do it, but it's possible that one is in my updates list - there were two for 2017. Think one was March or April, the other May.
Updates are a dislike of mine
Nah! coward that I am, I paid some bills and did the shopping for next week tonight ...just in case you knowHave you rebooted yet?
Will do it in around an hour.
Really hope all is well once rebooted as I want to sleep soundly with a clear mind.
MS is still nagging me to reboot. Despite me telling it to come back in 4 hours, it's done it 3 times already!
I updated my XP boot with a patch linked to on TBB that I keep for nostalgia but never use I am always on Win 10 now and was going to patch my XP laptop but it was wet and wouldn't boot.
Well, let's hope my desktop is fine when I do re-boot it, and that your laptop dries out and works again!I updated my XP boot with a patch linked to on TBB that I keep for nostalgia but never use I am always on Win 10 now and was going to patch my XP laptop but it was wet and wouldn't boot.
We're having to install a gate at the foot of the stairs - it'll need to be screw fitted as the newel post prevents a pressure fit one. It arrives tomorrow, so hopefully will be an easy job to fit.
We've always had a free standing one around 16" high at the foot of the stairs, and Sophie never once tried to get over it at night, but Hetty hates being left downstairs, and climbed silently over it two nights ago and stayed on the landing all night. It was the first time ever that she's been up any stairs, and for a hesitant dog, that was brave.
Husband gets up 2-3 hours before me, and she literally flew through the door when he opened it, and leaped onto the bed with one foot landing on my arm ..has left a huge purple bruise and some lost skin.
She's too big for us to have in our room, and we like to have the dog with the big bark in the hall at night, so we're hoping the gate sends the right message to her, and that she starts to settle down properly when I go to bed - currently she follows me to the foot of the stairs and stands there rigidly refusing to look at me. Makes me feel awful for leaving her.
If she doesn't settle, she'll have to go back to sleeping in the kitchen with the tall gate on that door closed.
Good luck with that. I fitted a screwed gate at the bottom of the stairs as the bannister gives quite a bit so could not fit a pressure one. I sometimes use it to keep Dalton on the stairs when we have deliveries so he is not slavering all over delivery people.
Rebooted! All OK ...an ominous black screen while waiting for Windows to load, and then all was well. It wasn't any longer than usual probably, just felt like it.
I'll see about getting the update Bob mentioned that includes IE tomorrow.
Hetty is usually easily kept in the nearest room with the door closed when someone comes with deliveries etc. There's a choice of five doors off the hall, including the cloakroom, and the kitchen with the tall gate. The little one is usually popped over the free standing gate at the foot of the stairs, so soon it'll be a proper gate.

MS updates are getting better they supposedly test them on a number of machines before release. Having said that I have a daily backup just in case anything goes wrong and on my other desktop, it has a backup the first Monday of the month for precisely the same reason.
Dalton really is too friendly with people and loves to say hello to people but gets a bit too excited, nothing like our previous shep. Max who bit my dad's friend at the front door when he got out before we had the gate. He was a handful.

Think I'll always be wary of MS updates 
We don't call her our crocopottamus for nothing ...like being greeted by a very enthusiastic one
At 10 months old, she's showing odd signs of settling down ...it'll come - I hope
She's fast asleep beside me, and as soon as I settle her in her bed in the hall, I'll be off too.

Dalton sleeps in my room, but he is quite odd my previous shep loved to cuddle up on my bed but Dalton will cuddle for 5 mins on my bed then he gets off when it is lights out and goes to his own bed, guess he likes his own space. We often have 5 minutes play before lights out.
Ouch, not good at our age, joi where does the little one sleep?
Until recently, we've never had a dog sleep in the bedroom, apart from when we had a very ill tiny toy poodle who needed a lot of care and love.
The hall is fairly large and square (around 14x12') with a large rug, and at night, Hetty's big soft bed, and there are insulated curtains across the front door & adjacent floor length window. She's very cosy!
No, and quite a shock as I'd been fast asleep. For some reason, mostly unexplained, the skin on my arms has been very fragile since I've been on the drug to keep the colitis in remission. I'm on a low maintenance dose, and the consultant said only on Friday, that I could try half the dose, but he thinks I'm better staying on the 2 tablets per day. Don't want that to come back again if I can prevent it, so fragile and purple blotched arms it is!
It's almost as though the 'stuffing' has been taken out of my arms if that makes any sense! Sophie used to come and wake me up every morning when it was time, and she was so very careful - always feeling the duvet with a paw to make sure she wasn't standing on me. No doubt at some point, Hetty will be a much calmer dog as she gets a bit older.
The little one has been sleeping upstairs since just a few weeks after Hetty came - she was actually menacing Hetty through the gate and scaring her.
Seeing she's now been allowed to sleep in the hall, rather than in the kitchen with the gate closed, she's seen my husband disappear up the stairs with the little one, and realises that when I too go later, she's left by herself. She's not happy.
Still, we're hoping the new stair gate will make her realise that she has to stay in the hall, and that in time, she forgets it was ever an issue.
This last batch of updates I did a few hours ago. It hung on a black screen longer than usual restarting, enough for me to begin thinking it froze and had a pharty update. I always hide and never run the malicious software updates cause its for those who don't take care of their comp and scans files long after you restart, I got malewarebytes to remove crap when I need to so the update malware scan is useless as far as I'm concerned.
I can't say I noticed that before, but it felt that way last night - perhaps because I don't do updates very often, and haven't noticed it before. It's probably the newly installed update settling itself into whatever 'home' it's given, and aligning itself with the OS. Who knows
I have mine set to only download on demand and at my own choice. The Defender is something I never bother with - Kaspersky, SAS & MWB seem to keep things safe enough for me. Thus far!
It looks like 4012204 is the one for IE security updates. (was in amongst the 4012215 one)
