I keep getting xp updates

Hi to all

after using an original copy of windows xp home edition, I continued to receive xp updates even though it is said that i support was terminated in 2014 ... I phoned to microsoft, saying that they don't know anything, someone can explain to me for please something.

Thanks in advance

Regards.

 

have you gone to microsoft updates and run a scan to see if there are any updates? if you have all your updates , then disable automatic updates. Mine is disabled always after getting all my updates installed

 

Many thanks for your reply, I will follow your advice.

Bye.

 

why disable it? better if you receive them, i have mines enabled auto update and sometimes i receive some i think they re the patches ms still make for xp for ransomware like wannacry

 

Did you get patch to counter Wannacry via auto update? I didn't. I had to Google to identify the designation of the patch, and search and download from MS! If some of us get a timely update, and others do not, when using auto update, it suggests another vulnerability awaiting someone coming along to exploit.

 

I think I read somewhere that the patch did not really work, so I have never installed it. I surf responsibly and run cleaner and scanners often, I disabled updates once I was fully updated to lessen used resources.

 

The WannaCry and the new BlueKeep patches weren't delivered to WU/MU because you know lazy M$

 

Obviously if you (re)installed or factory resetted the machine you will get updates that were releawed until 2014 april (if you are using the POSReady 2009 trick then it's understandable)

 

I have heard, "Updates On" is the manner in which our machines can be hacked.
any thoughts on this folks ?????

 

HI priscus
could you post that link and thank you

 

could you please "Remember" where you read that.

 

Sorry, it was quite a while back, and I did not keep any record.

I just put the question into search engine, something along the lines of "What is the patch needed to counter Wannacry"? I had to do it for Windows 7 also, though I do not recollect having to for W 10.

I just repeated same search, and found this page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023262/how-to-verify-that-ms17-010-is-installed

The page contains links for various OS's including XP. (3 varieties)

No idea if it is the same as what I downloaded back in 2017 though. Hope it provides what you want.
