Windows Vista Ultimate Extras 2020?

I still have an old laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate (newly installed) for older games, as the Virtual Box is not in the mood to start games with a 3-D accelerator even though the extension is installed.

Anyway, I looked for updates in Vista and there was always an error when looking for updates, even with the newer Windows Update Agent and downloaded Service Pack 2 the error comes up that it can't search for updates. How and where can I download and install the Windows Ultimate Extras so that I can use the Extras (the games and Dreamscene and so on)? Of course, the laptop will not remain connected to the Internet when everything is installed.

My main PC is Windows 10 and the old games no longer run properly.

I'll make the assumption that the update servers for Windows XP have been switched off, so you can only get the extras from more or less reputable sources

St

You will no longer be able to download updates because support even for the critical updates was discontinued in April 2017

Except possibly the "WSUS Offline Updater" can also download something…

ro

Oh dear, that's bad

ro

I used the offline updater… Only made 6 or 7 updates on it…

Unfortunately no ultimate extras

Ar

Hmm… Strange. Usually he should be doing that. Otherwise search directly at M $ in the download center.

St

Ah ok

Well I think you won't find it anywhere as a download anymore, the OS is too old

ro

Already searched through almost the whole internet but unfortunately there was nothing right there

ro

Are there still updates for Vista in the Download Center?

Ar

I think they are still there, but I didn't look because my installation pulled some about 4 months ago.

St

As I said. Was a lousy OS anyway, then support stopped 13 years ago

Then why keep downloads for it?!

ro

Ok weird… I'll take another look at the laptop and write the error code in here

ro

Yes, I know Vista wasn't the best system, but I think the graphical user interface is so beautiful and the ultimate extras

ro

Now it works? Strange otherwise there was always an error message…

Ar

Well it's good. Tip: just take it and don't break your head… Otherwise you will only get gray hair.

ro

That's true.

ro

Strangely, Vista found updates… Otherwise there was always an error message…

St

Then the WSUS Offliner installed an update that was necessary for the automatic updates

ro

The error is there again after installing the updates (and even after manually installing Service Pack 1):

It was not possible to check for new updates.

Error:

Code 80244019

And that's why I unfortunately don't get the second part of the Ultimate Extras.

St

Yes, there are a lot of descriptions… You might have to read through to see if there's something for you

ro

Ok I'll do.

There is a fix?
