This is a community-run resource to help you fix access to the internet and the Windows Update service on earlier versions of Windows. Since Windows XP was discontinued in 2014, followed by Windows 7 in 2020, Microsoft has closed services they depend on, such as Windows Update. There are also design flaws with these earlier versions of Windows Update, which make them difficult to get working on new installations.
Legacy Update can install all relevant updates necessary to fix access to the Windows Update service on unsupported versions of Windows. These versions of Windows may display the error “Windows could not search for new updates: Windows Update encountered an unknown error” with error code 80072EFE, or may simply never finish checking for updates. Legacy Update identifies the updates your system lacks, and installs them automatically, restoring the Windows Update service to full functionality.
Windows Update provides many optional and recommended updates, in addition to drivers for your system, but Windows XP and 2000 can only install critical security updates through the built-in Automatic Updates feature. Legacy Update revives the original Windows Update website - the only way to see and install every update available for your system. Legacy Update also restores access to Windows Ultimate Extras on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Legacy Update also restores connectivity to some websites in Internet Explorer, and other programs that use the Windows built-in networking functionality. This includes Windows Product Activation on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, allowing you to activate these versions of Windows online in seconds (a legitimate product key is still required).
Just want to appreciate the nostalgia of the classic Windows Update website? Legacy Update can also be installed on Windows 10 and 11. This works even on versions of these OSes that have removed Internet Explorer. Legacy Update won’t modify your Windows 10 or 11 installation.

Microwindows or Nano-X is a small graphical windowing system that implements both Win32 and Nano-X (X11-like) APIs for clipped graphics drawing in windows on Linux, Mac OS X, EMSCRIPTEN, Android and other platforms. It is Open Source and licenced under the the Mozilla Public License. For creating GUIs, the Nuklear immediate mode GUI, Win32 builtin controls, and TinyWidget's controls based on Nano-X are included. FLTK can be used with the X11 compability library NX11.
Some of the supported platforms are listed at the bottom on the left side. Next to that there are available screen drivers, mouse drivers and keyboard drivers. The Nano-X / Microwindows engine is the core code that implements all drawing and clipping, with the Win32 and Nano-X graphical windowing APIs implemented in seperately configurable layers on top of that. The engine is configured to use various OS platforms and associated screen, mouse and keyboard drivers, or bare hardware. The Nano-X API and the Win32 APIs are used to write applications. To provide close X11 compatibility the NX11 library can be built on top of the Nano-X API, which allows X11 applications to be linked and run without recompilation. The FLTK GUI toolkit runs based on NX11.

Win11Debloat is a simple, easy to use and lightweight powershell script that can remove pre-installed Windows bloatware apps, disable telemetry and declutter the experience by disabling or removing intrusive interface elements, ads and more. No need to painstakingly go through all the settings yourself, or remove apps one by one. Win11Debloat makes the process quick and easy!
You can pick and choose exactly which modifications you want the script to make, or use the default settings. If you are unhappy with any of the changes you can easily revert them by using the registry files that are included in the 'Regfiles' folder. All of the apps that are removed can be reinstalled from the Microsoft store.
Works with Windows 10 and 11.
More software for digging all of the information out of the Recall database on a Windows 11 machine. This one is written in native Powershell.
This very simple tool extracts and displays data from the Recall feature in Windows 11, providing an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots. To run or use this feature, you need to have one of the new CoPilot+ PCs running on ARM. Windows Recall stores everything locally in an unencrypted SQLite database, and the screenshots are simply saved in a folder on your PC. Here’s where you can find them:
- C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\CoreAIPlatform.00\UKP{GUID}
- .\ImageStore\
Filename: ukg.db
This application is a player for tracker music files as they are common in the demoscene. With its fullscreen interface and limited interaction options, it's specifically targeted towards presenting tracked music in a competition or for random background music. Based on libopenmpt. Plays all common tracker formats. libSDL user interface. Single executable.
Just drag a module file onto the executable, or into the window once the player has already been started. If a directory is opened this way, the first playable file therein is loaded. Note that this is not recursive; TrackMeister won't play entire directory hierarchies. If no file is specified upfront, but there are playable files in the current directory when TrackMeister starts, the (lexicographically) first file is loaded.
Make sure you cloned the repository recursively, as it pulls in a few libraries as submodules; if you forgot to do that, run git submodule update --init

This repository contains RCEd code extracted from Stuxnet binaries via disassembler and decompilers.
Many of you might find it wrong that both I and Mr. Amr Thabet copyrighted our code, I mean it is "stolen" code extracted from malware binaries, right?
I understand that it might look silly, but both of us spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours between ASM code trying to figure out what was behind those binaries and we are providing the product of our hard work (i.e. readable C code) to you for free. It is not a simple job and it is not a short job, both our licenses are extremely permissive, you can do whatever you want with the code provided in this repository, the only thing I'd like to ask you is that our job get recognized and that when you use this code for analysis, blog posts, or university thesis you show us your support by giving us credit for what we did.
That's all. Thanks to all of you!
vtm is a windowed multi-user environment for unlimited number of terminals. In other words this is an infinite 2-D space of terminal windows. To render its interface, vtm needs a text console -- be it a terminal emulator, Windows Command Prompt, or a Linux VGA Console. See Tested Terminals for details.
vtm is just a single executable file without any third party dependencies.
vtm renders itself at 60 frames per second into its own internal buffers. Output to the text console occurs only when the console is ready to receive the next frame. All pending frames are merged for smooth running even on non-accelerated text consoles.
vtm's multi-user architecture allows any number of participants to directly connect to the environment for collaboration. Each environment session is identified by an operating system's named pipe that serves as a gateway for users. To connect, the user just need to run vtm in their text console, either locally or remotely via SSH. See the command line options for details.
