After two years without support

or it's very likely but are you still using the first version of Windows 10, the one that came numbered 1507? If so, you're in luck, because Microsoft has released a new cumulative update for the older version of Windows 10.

And it is striking, since it is a version of Windows 10 that had ceased to have support since 2017. It did not receive any more updates or security patches , thus being abandoned and leaving users exposed to possible failures that could appear. Or that at least was what we understood.

Windows 10 1507 receives Build 10240.18135, equivalent to patch number KB4491101, which brings a series of fixes to compatible computers to solve some known problems and give solutions for bugs still present. This is in addition to updates shipped for Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, and Windows 10 Creators Update.

Error correction

• Fixes an issue that could cause Internet Explorer to load images that have a backslash () in their relative source path.
• Addresses a reliability issue with win32kfull.sys introduced in KB4487026.

Problem solving

Among the solutions to current problems, they offer different remedies.

In the case of applications that use a Microsoft Jet database with the Microsoft Access 95 file format and that can stop working randomly, they propose three options.

Option 1: Convert the database to a newer .mdb file format. This does not require a change to the connection string.

1. Use Microsoft Access 2007 or earlier to open a database that has an earlier file format.
2. When the system asks if we want to convert, select No to open the database in the current format.
3. From the Office Button menu, select Save As and select 2002-2003 Database.

Option 2: Convert the database to a newer .mdb file format using VBscript. This does not require a change to the connection string.

1. Save the following vbscript code to a file like convert2x3x.vbs and update the database names accordingly.

   dim dbe

   set dbe=CreateObject (?DAO.DBEngine.120?)

   dbe.CompactDatabase ??, ??, , 32

2. Run the script from the cmd screen.

   C:\myfolder >\windows\syswow64\cscript convert2x3x.vbs

Option 3: Convert the database to the .accdb file format using VBscript. To use the .accdb file format, we need to change the connection string after the conversion.

1. Save the following vbscript code to a file like convert2xAce.vbs and update the database names accordingly.

   dim dbe

   set dbe=CreateObject (?DAO.DBEngine.120?)

   dbe.CompactDatabase ??, ??, , 128

2. Run the following script from cmd.

   C:\myfolder >\windows\syswow64\cscript convert2xAce.vbs

The second problem for which they propose a solution is related to writing in Japanese and is that after installing this update, the The first character of the Japanese era name is not recognized as an abbreviation and can cause date parsing problems.

To solve this, they propose to modify the record with the two-character abbreviation for Japanese Eras as follows:

• "1868 01 01=??_?_Meiji_M"

• "1912 07 30=??_?_Taisho_T"

• "1926 12 25=??_?_Showa_S"

• "1989 01 08=??_?_Heisei_H"

"If you have Windows 10 1507 this update should be available in the Settings path (the gear wheel at the bottom left) and then in the pop-up menu entering the Updates and Security window and in the Windows section Update. You can also download it manually from this link."
