INSTALLING WIN7 SHOULD I DISABLE UPDATES?

uh.. sure?

>>57257790
I'd say leave automatic updates turned off and compile a list of updates that you shouldn't install (such as KB2670838 (the one that breaks aero) and the Windows 10 spyware updates). Also, before you install any new ones, I'd say look up the updates before installing any of them in case there are anymore of the bad ones.

Only if you a full day to wait on installing every single one of them. :^)

fuck!

you basically have to reinstall windows when this happen

Excuse me, but if you're going to use ancient OSes, I'd recommend IBM OS/2 or maybe an Amiga OS.

I wasn't able to install that october package thing they are now doing, reverted changes on boot.

>>57257951
Especially with the .NET Framework updates.

You haven't heard have you?

>>57257996
no this has to happen to get gpu installed unlike linux its not installed in real time.

>>57258256
Heard of what?

>>57258263

Are you seriously asking this? Have you been living under a rock with no /g/ for the last like 5 months?

Turn it off. I haven't got any updates except for what came on SP1. If you really want updates, there's WSUS offline.

>>57258276
Maybe. But still, I want to know.

>>57258263
Future updates for W7 will no longer be on a case-by-case basis, they're now in one big bundle so you won't be able to cherry pick.

>>57258279
This is the best answer.

>>57258279
what's with the webm?

>>57257790
You should kill yourself.

>>57258055
thats why you install .net apart.

In my experience preparing computers for small businesses deployments, it is the best course of action.

I really hate that you have to roll back a shitton of updates because ONE dindt get their way, so first install the critical ones then the .net ones

OH and lets not forget, that even when you install a service pack for your .net version, you'll have to do this all over again, because there will be another batch of security updates to your .nets

Really mate, install what you will, but when you reach that point of "this is good enogh for me" do yourself a favor and do a image of the whole system partition, so when you fucked things up in the future, you can backup your data, restore the image and you'll save yourself hours.

I got the 65805 ISO, does it have SP1? Which ones should I install from the list? Sorry I haven't touched anything windows related since 4 years.

>>57257863

never ever had automatic updates

always was only updating to newest at installation and changing settings to never check for updates

>not making an updated ISO with WHDownloader and NTLite

I don't even use Windows 7 anymore and I made one.

>>57261182
Also, you can download the updates with WHDownloader and use this script to install them if you're lazy.

One of them is the service pack, another is one that accidentally got installed because some Microsoft utility automatically enabled updates.
Disabling updates is the only way to keep Windows 7 running like new. If you install them, it will slow your boot time down to a crawl.

>>57257790

Yes, you should. Plain and simple. Especially if you have some uncommon but "mission critical" software.

>>57261212
Por que?

>>57261218

You see, some production softwares don't work with later updates. One of my workstations could only take SP1. Later updates rendered the software useless. Think "Apple effect". I pissed and moaned to developer to fix it but to no avail.

Install SP1, turn updates off. Install .NET 4.6.1 or whatever the fuck manually with the offline installer.

No bullshit, no tracking, no issues, no games stopped working, just fucking flawless computing.

>>57258293
How about from download center, one by one? Manually that is.

>>57257790
There is a service pack now
But malaware remover is a standalone
DO NOT INSTALL IT, it will break your pc
In fact turn off the automatic search after you finished installing sp1 or you will get a overflow something
