Hello
My laptop runs Windows Vista and it seems that whenever I download updates, it consumes space on my hard drive. I checked and there are too many updates installed on my laptop. Because I frequently download updates, - is it ok to uninstall the very old, like those installed in 2007? It will compromise the performance and the security of my computer?
There is another thing. Whenever I try to update definitions for windows defender, the process has failed. Why does this happen?

Hello
Good to know that you were able to free up space.
I would recommend do not uninstall the windows updates. However, there is another place where you can remove unwanted files and folders.
> Open Local C: drive, open users, open all users, open d, open the Local, open Temp and delete all files and folders.
NOTE: AppData is a super hidden folder. Use the following steps to display it:
> Open the Control Panel, open Folder Options, click the view tab.
> Under hidden files and folders, select Show files, folders and drives - WE.
> Uncheck "hide empty drives in the computer to SEND file.
> Uncheck "Hide extensions of files known types of MAILING.»
> Click OK.
> Once you open the Temp folder, delete all the files and the folders in it.
All the best! If the steps above to solve the problem, then mark the post as answer. Thank you. Amza. -

Windows Update for how long should I keep and old update on my computer?
I have updates that are more than a year, how long should I keep the updates on my computer? Right now I have 195, any help would be great!
Thank you = Redchecker
Redchecker,
There is no such thing as 'old' updates. They are there to protect against a vulnerability or provide updates of the o/s. withdrawal defeats the purpose of them being there.

is there a cleaner free update for old updates of windows. mine go back to 2010. If I delete them manually. I have to restart my computer for each of them. How to remove the 'old' and what goes back to remove.it looks like repetitions of 6 years
Cleaning Windows Update option is available only when you log on with administrator permissions.
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, right-click on disk cleanup, click on Run as Administrator. Scroll the menu drop down and you should see the option of cleaning of Windows Update. Check the box before this option.
Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options , the System Restore tab and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

I just installed the new CC applications. Since they moved parallel to the 'old' instead of the upgrade, should I uninstall the old with the uninstall application in the old folder?
Easyebe,
You are using a Mac or Windows PC computer?
If using a Mac computer, go on--> Utilities application--> Adobe installer--> former names of applications and run the uninstaller for legacy applications.
If you use a Windows PC, go to control panel of-->> program and features and uninstall the old applications.
It allows to uninstall everything related to legacy applications, but your setting should be imporated to the new version of the applications.
