Windows Vista update Changelog

Hi, I would like to know the changes made to windows on patch day operating systems, very little as a changelog, during software update. I'm the head for an access provider support technician, and I need to keep abreast of any changes that may occur in Microsoft operating systems. Right now I have a problem with a Vista machine where the ethernet port did not work yesterday morning (South African Standard Time) and this morning the ethernet port works fine. As a result, our client is very happy with us we have misdiagnosed the situation. So, basically, I want to know if he had made to the Windows Vista operating system updates and other updates that may occur. I understand that Microsoft releases patches every Tuesday (if necessary) and yesterday, Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Maybe there's an RSS feed of all updates from MS?

Thank you

After 100% on the last screen of the stage becomes black and restarts. As his departure upward, it goes to a black screen and it says something about registry 0/621 or so then he load some files. THEN it goes black again and restart once more.

    This time, it goes to the screen similar to where it puts up-to-date, except it says return update, and then my windows loads very well.

    It's a constant loop and I really need help. I tried the system restore, but I had not all dates really old to restore, and the older that I could do has not solved the problem.

    Again, any help would be appreciated. ^_^

  • Windows Vista update causes applications non - IE to be denied access to the internet

    I have a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 unfortunately comes with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has caused me a lot of problems with conflicts between her and others, package applications, and now I am forced to use my network at home for route information and documents that must move through the internet by sharing them with another computer Windows XP which is also configured exactly as my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. I look forward to wean myself off of all MS products, possibly other that MS Office, I use a lot and plays always well for me to wire many years and updates/upgrades. Not the same for MS Windows Vista, however. My experience, similar to many other forum users, has been constantly frustrating over the years I've had to deal with it.  I lost a lot of time dealing with problems caused by code errors in the last set of MS Windows Vista updates that made all my package applications that require internet access unusable.

    I contacted the support of Lenovo and support forums for my problem, and they too cannot provide all the answers that address this issue that is causing me to spend much too much time I could use to work at a rate of $65 / hr, so you can see that this is not only an inconvenience.

    Before someone points me to the myriad other similar positions for possible answers, let me say that I probably have alread read it and tried all the suggested actions, without success. I need to REAL answers and REAL support, and I need it NOW.  Also, I don't think I should have to pay for the support which has been made necessary by the negligence of MS to test their updates for compatibility issues with the popular, free package critical applications for the safety of MS OS system of a user, such as AVG Free antivirus, ZoneAlarm Free firewall personal , OR who are competitors for their navigation on the web or by email client applications. I am not now under the other another firewall that MS Vista firewall having had to uninstall my firewall ZoneAlarm Free. I even had one of my other previously compatible and effective anti-malware/spyware apps, AdAware, uninstall Lavasoft. No matter what I did, which was suggested to me by MS resources support or Lenovo support resources, this problem, which began shortly after the last round of all the months of downloads to fix security and facilities, persists and cost me more money in revenue and lost time every day.
