    They won't give you updates if you have radeon software or intel config tool?

    The article says it's only a specific Win7 version of VLC that's blocked, so maybe that's the case with these also.

    Ok, so a newer version should be fine I guess. If that’s the case, the title should be: “If you’re still running these prehistoric software, Windows won’t be able to update“

    Can’t complain about that conclusion either. It fixes all your Windows problems once and for all.

    i'm still not really sure why this would matter. Does updating break that software? Seems like an easy fix.

    That was a weird article. The simplest fix would be to keep your apps updated.

    Although, in typical MS style, the error message will probably be either vague and cryptic or otherwise completely useless. If you stumble upon an update problem like this, troubleshooting it doesn’t sound fun.

    Hmm, interesting, do these all have explorer integrations? I know even a couple year's old SolidWorks PDM does not work with Windows 11 because of the way it integrates with Windows explorer. a couple of the other apps there modify/integrate into explorer as well.
