I need to point out that the v32.0.0.223 Flash Player version is a non-security release as it only contains some new bug fixes but does not fix any new security vulnerabilities as noted in the Flash Player 32 release notes. Also Microsoft has not yet issued this new version for Windows 8.x & 10...

I just wanted to comment that the Logitech Setpoint downloads are now found at support.logi.com instead of the old Logitech support site

perhaps update Realtek audio driver from 6.0.1.8117 to either v6.0.1.8323 or v6.0.1.8485 from ASUS.

my dad has a Toshiba touchscreen laptop (C55Dt-A5306) [the System SKU is PSCFWU] that is definitely UEFI capable (with pre-installed Win8.1 home) though I plug the usb stick to the left side usb 2.0 port for that to be bootable as it may not boot from a usb 3.0 port

I agree with this list of updates except for KB3184143 which I find safe to install as the KB3184143 prevents unwanted upgrades to Win10 and removes some GWX stuff

it looks like the KB4493446 monthly rollup update also causes problems with Avira and Avast as well. they also recommend removing this update until they can provide new fixes for their software. Why does my system run very slow? Avast Knowledge Base

it looks like the KB4493467 security-only update also causes problems with Avira and Avast as well. they also recommend removing this update until they can provide new fixes for their software. Why does my system run very slow? Avast Knowledge Base

btw, the Windows 8.1 ISO from the Microsoft Win8.1 download page has Win8.1 + Update 3 (KB3000850) Update 1 (KB2919355) also included & integrated

it seems that the KB4493467 security-only update can cause lockups if any Sophos antivirus product is installed. Sophos Central Endpoint and SEC: Computers fail/hang on boot after the Microsoft Windows April 9, 2019 update - Sophos Community if KB4493446 or KB4493467 is installed along with...

install a different 4 gig RAM chip with the same speed as I noticed you have different RAM chips installed with different speeds which is almost bad and will downclock the fastest ram chip to a slower speed for stability (a Kingston 4Gb RAM chip w/ PC3-10700 (667Mhz) on RAM slot 1 and a Hyundai...

did you install the KB3172614 update? you will have to manually download KB3172614, install and reboot and then rerun Windows Update After KB3172614 was installed on my dad's win8.1 laptop, it only took no more than 8 to 10 minutes to show available updates (if the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution...

KB2999226 is superseded by KB3118401 so you do not need KB2999226 anymore as KB3118401 has newer files than KB2999226

perhaps missing updated WD files that are needed from KB3038936 and were not all included in newer win8.1 rollups since KB3038936 is simply a small update, I manually download & install it from the MS Update Catalog so that windows update won't have to offer it again

you do not need the KB2999226 update for win8.1 anymore as the KB3118401 update supersedes / replaces it (hence KB2999226 is "not applicable") and it is also included in April 2017 and later cumulative rollup updates for win8.1
