Closing WordsĬonsidering that Microsoft started to push the Microsoft Update Catalog more, and put less emphasize on the Microsoft Download Center, it is a welcome change that the Update Catalog is now compatible with all modern browsers (well all but Edge, oh the irony). This is obviously not ideal, and Microsoft should consider adding more information to the download page to make things clearer for users. If you download both, you will notice that they are identical and will install the same Silverlight update on the system. If you look at the screenshot above for instance, you will be hard pressed to find a difference between the second and third update shown on it. The download page lists no file sizes, supported operating system versions, or any other information that may help you pick the right file. While you may identify 圆4 versions as they are usually part of the file name, it is impossible to identify other differences. There may be little indication if and how those downloads differ. This can be a tad confusing as Microsoft may list multiple cryptic file downloads on those pages. Downloads are listed directly after clicking on the download button instead of adding one or multiple updates to a cart first. Patches may be offered for various operating systems, or architectures, and it is up to you to find the right patch that is compatible with the operating system or software that you want to update.ĭownloads work a tad different from how they worked on the Internet Explorer version of the site. Windows 10, KB3193713, or Internet Explorer, to get all matches displayed in a table on the site.įrom there it is just the matter of finding the right patch to download to the system. Searches work perfectly fine on the new site: simply enter a search term, e.g. It is probably only a matter of time before that issue is resolved as well. Surprisingly though, it does not work in Microsoft Edge yet because there is still a script running on the page that checks for Edge and intercepts the connection. I have tested the site with Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi, and it worked fine in all of them. No more using Internet Explorer to download patches from the Update Catalog, or using the RSS feed workaround to download them using other browsers. Simply point your web browser to the main address - and the site should open just fine.
