if a user doesnt install new softwares more often(mostly cracked versions), avoids .exe executable files from unknown publishers for whose software doesnt have digital signatures and disables remote connections, there would be absolutely no need for security updates…
So your response to my query about how to get rid of an annoying and pointless warning is to change my operating system on 5 PCs, which would require replacing all that hardware, reloading, and in some cases updating software, which in some cases means buying new software, relicensing it, reconfiguring it on five PCs, plus stop doing several tasks for which I’m running specially written software that is Windows 7 specific and can’t be rewritten for Win 10/11? Or have I misunderstood?
Thanks. I really didn’t intend to start a discussion about updating. I just want to know if there’s a way to get rid of that annoying warning. I like Brave, and I don’t want to have to find an alternative.
Yes im just like you but on win 8.1, i too dont want win 10 or 11… They are not as good as win 8.1 and Win 7… Win 7 and 8.1 are Legends.
Win 10 is an adware and win 11 is still in experimental stage but again its still a adware like its predecessor… Microsoft no longer respect user’s personal interests and keep pre-installing new apps on it every time a monthly windows update comes by… if Brave puts effort to make win 11 based custom OS by removing bloatwares, telemetry, setting most services to manual, reducing windows processes count, install win 7 and 8.1 themes, icons, aero support, win 8.1 modern taskbar looks, controlling timeframes how frequent a win updates comes by and removing unnecessary bloatwares that gets added on the monthly updates …well then, i’ll install that Win 11 based custom OS made by brave.
The reason you were getting updates is because of the Windows 7 Extended Security Updates which is slated to end January 10, 2023, the same time Windows 8 support is dropping.
currently on the pc platform there is only chromium vs Firefox
At least from now on, there should be three Chromium Vs Firefox Vs Blazekit (Brave’s new engine)
Chromium trend feels like the unreal engine of epic, yeah it might have some cool and advanced features but not all of the game studios are being dependent on it… For example, the good Capcom, although they have used unreal engine in the past, they made an tremendous effort to establish their RE Engine which is still great… The Story is to Start Something new, Brave’s independent Blazekit engine cant get to Chromium position instantly just like that, but with time, brave will eventually catch up!
If Brave does what other don’t, they will have an strong advantage
There is a simple solution, at least for 32bit Win7 Desktop (I have no access to 64bit, so I can’t test this simple fix on that platform or on other versions of Brave):
Using a text editor (notepad.exe will work), create a .reg file called SuppressWIn7UpdateWrngBrave.reg (actually, you can call it anything.reg) with the following contents:
If it’s not working, either the entry isn’t compatible with 64bit (assuming that’s what you have) or the entry is wrong. If it’s not there, then the .reg file itself is problematic, perhaps an incomplete cut/paste. Are you sure the file was successfully imported into the registry? Did you look at the filename? Does is end with .reg? If it’s a 32bit/64bit question, you could try looking at other entries under HKCU/Software to see how they’re formatted.
scratches chin interesting thread and as I will only use windows 7 as well… “What are the system requirements to install Brave?”
It clearly states windows 7 is all good to go…yes ?
