Windows 7 (KB976902) to allow for future updates.

Today, I saw an update on my laptop windows 7 with Ko 976902.  He says it's to allow for future updates installed properly, and that once it has been installed, I couldn't remove it.  I searched the Knowledge Base article on this topic, and it returns no results.  In some places, I read that it is used by SP1 beta.  I don't have a Beta SP1 installed on my system.

Anyone know what this update is for?

Thank you in advance,

vader95

This isn't software SP1 beta or even malware (perplexed9, use a little common sense). It is an update that prepares the system when the service pack is released. This has happened with the service packs for Vista too.

However this update should not be released without proper documentation, so it wouldn't surprise me if people stay until there are notes available.

  • Permanantly disabling "Install Google Toolbar" and change the default value for future updates

    I use Adobe products for years and, in general, is that Adobe produces some really useful tools for users of computers and productivity.  Thereby, ever time I get notice of an 'Adobe Flash Player' update I have to answer the same questions during the update / install process.  During the installation of the installation application ask if I want to install the toolbar 'Google', and the default value is Yes, then I have to uncheck the box before installation or I receive the software on my system I do not want or do not want.  In addition, towards the end of the update, the installation application provides three options on future updates:

    (1) download and install automatically

    (2) ask before installing

    (3) never install...

    And each installation I have to uncheck the installation of "Google Toolbar" and tell them that Adobe 'ask me... ' "before you download and install future updates.

    Is it possible permanently disable toolbar Google and by default my response to the update download and install question to always be 'Ask Me' first?  Adobe's witnesses crossing the machine during this process, so please do not suggest that it is not possible.  Adobe simply needs to modify the setup package to find these cookies and apply preferences users for the installation process instead of constantly trying to push unwanted applications and choices to the user.

    The displayed offers are based on the OS and the browser used.  If the two of you are essentially correct, for the browsers you use.

    If you opt in background updates, update option = allow Adobe to install updates (recommended), Flash Player will be updated within 24 hours of a new version is released.  If you use several browsers that use different types of Flash Player (for example, IE & Firefox) all drive types are updated within 24 hours of the new versions available.

    If you opt in notification updates, update = option Notify me when updates are available, the update notification generally appears within 7 days of an update is available and it is after that the system was restarted or that you log on/off voltage.   Opting to put up-to-date will launch the browser to a download page to download and install Flash Player.  If you use several browsers that use different types of Flash Player (for example, IE & Firefox) as the type of player who set the notification of update is updated.  The other type of player is not updated.

    Essentially, opting in the background updates will update all types of drive on the system within 24 hours and avoids downloading accidentally offers from third-party vendors.

    Note: there are slight differences for OS X updated behaivour but since you have Windows I described the behavior under Windows.

  • Restore processes must work for future updates

    I think that it a competitive disadvatage dealing with catering for my R7000 wireless router Netgear (and by all indcations, all Netgear routers) require returning configuration information manually after a few firmware updates.

    Instead, there should be independent version information stored in the backups with the meta-data that would allow the process of future update updated the version independent information (for example, IP addresses saved systems to tell / alllowed) as well as meta data that would indicate during or just before the update procedure which feature information that differs between versions must be managed manually Ideally in a way the could easily be captured or printed doorwindow.

    It would greatly reduce the inconvenience to the customer after excectuing a 'hard reset' on the routers.

    Thank you very much!

    Normally, we recommend to use the backup and restore functionality to facilitate the reconfiguration.

    There just to get our engineers found that there is something on this firmware version which made it impossible to simply use the backup and restore function where they advise to do manual configuration.

    Go ahead, NETGEAR has taken note of this and will eventually use restore again for easy reconfiguration.

    Thank you, Suzi

    Hi Suzi,

    If I understand your question: a way to interest Adobe development team is to use the "wishform" and maybe your "request correct or change in future updates of the software" can be used as a suggestion. Here at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, where you'll find this: "Use this form to request new features or suggest modifications to existing features."

  • Windows could not search for new updates. 8007007E error (unknown error)

    Friday, 3/4, I did a windows update and downloaded and applied Windows Live Essentials.  When it restarted, my computer crashed.  Somehow, I was able to come back to life, but Windows Live Messenger has stopped working (did not connect).  I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, clean cache contacts, use the Windows Installer Cleanup tool and everything I could find.

    In addition to this, when I go to Windows Update now it states: not Windows is able to check for new updates.  8007007E error (unknown error)

    Also, I noticed that I have a few updates installed in the history of the update, but when I click on "installed updates" to try to remove them, they are not in this list.  They are:

    -Windows Live Essentials

  • How to hide all the future updates to the Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter?

    Is it possible to automatically hide or ignore all future updates for Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter?

    I don't have, and never plan to use Windows Mail, and I'm not sure that I could never be convinced that I should, someday.

    Therefore, all the updates of Windows for this are very very little, but the update system keeps their important marking - so I have to hide them every time.

    Is there a technique to automatically remove this update until it is important to my system?

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic SP2.

    No, you can not hide all the future updates Windows Mail Junk Email Filter. But here is a workaround:

    1 configure automatic updates for the 'updates but let me choose... '. "setting.

    2. when an update of the Windows Mail Junk e-mail filter is available for your approval, thereafter, hide it.
