I cannot download updates using Windows update

[Arski18]

I am experiencing an error when trying to check for updates: 80244019 anyone knows how to fix it?

 

[Arski18]

Wrong category! sorry

 

[Vistaar]

Sorry, there is no way to fix it: Windows Update SHA-1 based endpoints discontinued for older Windows devices. Have you just reinstalled Vista? (If not, think twice!)

 

[Arski18]

Ive installed the Vista today, should i reinstall it?

I have never used this method, but Download links for all Vista SP2 32-bit and 64-bit updates from Windows Update. Have you ever thought about Windows 7?

I was using windows 7 multiple times but, Vista has something that dosent win 7 has, that's why i am still using it.. by the way thanks for theese download links

Either use installation media that already has the updates, Or you can manually download and install them yourself.

You will probably find this more useful than the link you were just given.
Windows Vista Update Repository (until April 2017+)

Deleted, since i was incorrect. See post 13.

Also, at that page, it has an option to download the updates as a .zip. When I download using that option (after it installs the mega app), I get a .exe file. Does that contain the updates?

SIW2- I had posted that link in the thread where Ex_Brit was looking for the updates and he asked me to remove it because those are his personal backups and he's data limited. I suppose you should do the same thing or talk to Ex_Brit about it.

 

[Vistaar]

I believe Ex-Brit jumped to an incorrect conclusion about your second link (unless maybe he is also greenhillmaniac of MSFN). Perhaps you should post in his thread again to clarify the situation?

I went back and read the last posts in the thread (Vista ISO download) and realized it was ravewulf who was asking where one could get fully updated ISOs. Ex_Brit wasn't looking for files to update his ISOs.

In that case, I will leave you in charge of deciding which MSFN link should be given to posters who install Vista in August 2020 and beyond. Your contributions to MSFN have already been incalculable. Keep up the good work!

I've never been to MSFN and don't have time to add another forum to the list I already have.

Alrighty then.

I went to check the updates (for XP and Vista) at Microsoft and it was gone!! What were they thinking!?

Maybe thinking “time to buy Windows 10.”

I meant Windows Vista SP1 and SP2 for Vista only. A Security Update from 2017 for Windows XP SP3(didn't check that update before posting) is still there though.

I meant Windows Vista SP1 and SP2 for Vista only.

If that’s all you want, see this Catalog search. But if you want all updates, see the links that have already been posted in this thread. (I don’t plan on posting circa 200 download links here.)
