Recently, a community-based project "Windows Update Restored" was launched. It is understood that the purpose of this project is to re-provide support for Windows Update for old systems, which can be used for Windows 95 / NT 4.0/98 (including SE) / ME / 2000 SP2, etc. "Ancient times" Microsoft's operating system provides upgrade patches, fix bugs or security holes.
It is reported that the project only provides support for Windows Update v3.1 released in 1997, but the person in charge of the project made a statement saying that this is not an official **ERP** project supported by Microsoft, and these update patches are only from xjmokehi5ul Third Party Collation.
For example, taking Windows95 as an example, the size of a critical update package of the system is 3.1MB, the size of a security update is 124kb, and the size of the optional Direct X 8a update is 11.2MB, and these were medium or large at the time. size up.
In addition, the person in charge of the project also said that support for newer versions of operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista will be gradually introduced in the future.
The person in charge did not explicitly suggest that this project be used to maintain older versions of Windows, or use these "ancient systems" as a daily use, and hope that PC users will use "more modern and more secure" operating systems such as Windows 10 and Windows 11.
