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“

Too late. People in comment section already decided to install Linux

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But doesn't solve your Linux problems

Will it stop asking me to upgrade every month if I have one of these installed? I might need to get one just for that.

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.
