Hi.
I used WSUS 10.9.2 vs WindowsPatchLoader_1_0_15 on December 4, 2018, to download (as far as I know) all the patches for Windows Vista x64.
I did a comparison of the output from the two software packages and each downloads pretty much the same files but there are some differences.
For example, for one subset of files, each package downloaded a common set of 273 files but in that same common set of files:
I would like to get
This desired course of action MIGHT not be possible but I feel as though I am closer now than I have ever been, having used WSUS and WPL and had them download the patches that they could retrieve.
With my notebook not being patched to the latest patches, there are software packages that will not install on my notebook and there are browsers that will not work or not work correctly.
Does anyone have any comments/suggestions regarding the above?

- WPL also had 59 files that WSUS did not have and
- WSUS had 57 files that WPL did not have.
I would like to get
- ALL the patches for Windows Vista x64 ...
- from the very first patch through the very last patch
- (preferably no aggregated patches or service packs)
- I really would like to get all the updates that are INSIDE a service pack so I can be very granular in which updates I install.
- Then install a group of 100 or so patches and let that sit for a few days to check for adverse affects on my notebook
- Image my computer and then
- ... repeat bullets 4 and 5 above...
- until one of the groups peggs the CPU at 100%
- then roll back my computer and install smaller subsets of that ("problematic" "pegg my cpu at 100%") batch - until I find the one or more patches that peggs my CPU at 100% and just not install that/those patches
- then continue with bullets 4 and 5 above.
