SHA-1 Windows content to be retired August 3, 2020

I see that number of Office 2010 / 2013 (and even 2016) MSI updates are removed from Download Center

those the global exe installers without any alternative, and most of those updates are dual signed (sha1/sha256) anyway

bad decision

I'd second mruniqat . Would be great to have some alternate 'archive' kind of location for legacy customers of ours.

Can we assume all XP and 2003 updates gone then?  How long were Windows 7 and 2008/2008 R2 updates dual signed?  Can we get a breakdown by products, maybe with dates or years to know what will be removed?

Could you guys please do us all a favor and offer all historic updates to archive.org? There are a lot of users out there which still like to use older Windows versions for fun on older computers, it would be a shame to behave like Sony&Co. who just deleted all old drivers from their driver pages. 

We are distributing an windows program with dual code signing (SHA-1 and SHA-2).

Should we change the dual signed program to SHA-2 signed?

การอัพเด็ดมันก็ดีอยู่แล้วใช่ไหม ไปสู่สิ่งใหม่ๆตัวไหนดีกว่าใหม่กว่าก็หน้าจะศึกษา และเรียนรู้ใว้ก็ไม่เสียหายนะครับ

So how about you resign the wushowhide tool that we have to rely on to hide or block certain updates and drivers?

Something that might not have been considered, is that in a manufacturing environment in some cases we are forced to continue using older operating systems like Windows XP. Reason being is because that is the only operating system meeting the tool software system requirements... and the manufacturer is out of business or no longer supports that tool line so we are stuck with it. Last week, it was necessary to perform a Windows XP service pack 3 install on a tool computer. The install went well initially but when it reached near the end with a message "Performing cleanup" it did not finish. I've read that actually the program is trying to install updates in the background when it displays performing cleanup. Now that the service pack cannot check for updates, I believe that it will hang indefinitely for everyone... wasting their time as they are diligently waiting for the install to properly finish. After an hour of waiting I finally just rebooted the PC and luckily the service pack installation appeared to have successfully completed.

Maybe Windows XP SP3 is the only case, but I think Microsoft should modify the highest level service packs for each pre-Windows 7 OS to not check for updates during service pack install if updates are no longer available.   

I use Office 2007. Does this mean that I won't be able to receive windows updates for Office 2007 any more?

I don't want to lose the SP3 Service Pack 3 update for Office 2007, junk mail filter update and the help updates.

Looks like I'm impacted but I believe Microsoft isn't telling us everything. Should you need to reinstall Windows 7, you will run into issues. See this link for more.
