NOTE: Due to a very large number of security
updates being released for Windows XP & Server 2003,
the
security updates listed here are grouped by each year they
were released. In early 2017, I have
gradually updated the links to the WinXP x64 & Win2003 x64
updates which many of them are found
on the Microsoft Update Catalog site instead of the MS
Download Center site.
NOTE: It is not necessary to
download & install all of the updates listed on my
page. You are not required
to
install them unless your system has suffered serious
problems. Make sure you download the
patches
for the correct operating system. You can uninstall
almost all system updates from your system
if
they cause more problems than they fix.
I've made this page simply for informational purposes and to make downloading updates faster & easier.
Key = Windows
XP x64 & Server 2003 x64 is Windows NT 5.2 version
5.20.3790 [Win2003, WS2003 or W2k3 for short]
NT
- New Technology or Network, Windows XP is also known as
Windows 2002, SP - Service Pack,
Cli. = Client, Serv. = Server, Pro. = Professional, IIS =
Internet Information Server,
ADAM = Active Directory Application Mode, RDP - Remote
Desktop Protocol
[a
little star * indicates a new system update; the <>
symbol means to install a patch with caution because it may
have a
possible
side effect; I am not responsible if the updates you
download here do more harm than good]
Before
installing any WinXP/2003 updates, be sure to 'activate'
your copy of either Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.
Microsoft announced that Extended Support for
Windows XP Professional X64 Edition ended on April 8, 2014 here.
And
Microsoft
ended extended support for all editions of Windows Server
2003 on July 14, 2015 as noted here
and here.

~ this symbol means the security update(s) was revised
Notes: Download & install these
updates in ascending order [from bottom to
top]. If you are paranoid about security, install
of
the
updates above. If any patches listed on my page have
been revised & you downloaded an early version, download
& install
the
revised
version.
Caution:
See the corresponding MS support articles of the affected
security updates that are marked with the <> symbol.
^ Sidenote:
The MS09-059 security update
for WinXP/Win2003 X64 SP2 requires the KB968389 update
installed first.
The
MS15-074 security update for Win2003 SP2 requires the
Windows Installer [MSI] 4.5 addon from KB942288
be installed first.
Also
many of the Win2003 SP2 x64 security updates released in
mid-2014 & year 2015 can also be installed under WinXP
SP2 x64.
Windows
Server 2003 Service Packs: (for x64 edition only;
not for ia64 edition)
Windows
XP Service Packs: (for x64 edition only; not for
ia64 edition) |
Notes: Only install the Windows Service
Pack if a newer hotfix or a 3rd party program requires it in
order for your system to work
properly.
Windows XP & Server 2003 X64 Service Pack 2 includes
mostly bug fixes but now includes several new security
features.
<>
Caution:
See MS article 914961
on any issues with X64 Windows
XP SP2 or X64 Windows Server 2003 SP2. If you are
installing
Win2003
SP2 on the Small Business Server editions of Windows Server
2003,
see MS article 932600
on any problems when installing SP2.
|
Notes: The DirectX
Redistributable download for WinXP & Win2003 X64 edition
contains both 32bit & 64bit DirectX runtime
library files.
|
Notes: Any
downloads for Windows XP/2003 are found at the Windows Update
site. By default, XP/2003 may be setup to download
system updates
automatically while connected to the Internet. To turn
the feature off [if you're annoyed by it] open the Control
Panel, select the
Performance & Maintenance control panel applet, click on
the System button and in the Automatic Updates
tab, choose the
option to update your computer manually; if you are using
WinXP/2003 with either SP1 or SP2 installed, the Security
Center feature will
display some annoying pop-up messages that Automatic Updates
was turned off, so open up Security Center,
click on "Change the
way Security Center alerts me" link to bring up the Alert
Settings dialog box, uncheck the checbox next to
Automatic
Updates. Then click OK to save changes and close the
Security Center window and Security Center will no longer
display popup
messages that Automatic Updates was disabled.
|
Note: Qfecheck.exe for Win2000/XP/2003 is
different from the Win9x/ME version of Qfecheck.exe. They
both have the same
filename
but they work differently. Do NOT use the Win2k/XP
version of qfecheck under Win9x/ME and vice-versa (the 9xME
version
of Qfecheck DOES run under Win2000/XP/2003 but will not
detect any Win2k, XP or 2003 updates installed). The
Windows
2000, XP & 2003 versions of Qfecheck.exe are not
included in any Service Packs for those OSes. Be aware
that
there are separate versions of Qfecheck for certain versions
of Windows. Support articles no longer have the letter
Q
before
the article number. There is a recent issue when using
earlier versions of QChain.exe to install patches mentioned
in
MS
KB article 815062.
