Which Updates?

[engine987]

I'm a bit confused about which updates are GDR and which are LDR when downloading all Win 7 64-bit updates from both Win Toolkit and Alphawaves Windows Hotfix Downloader.  The downloads are very nicely organised into General, Security, Hotfix, etc, but are all these GDR updates or are some LDR?

 

If there are LDR updates included, it would be great if they were put into an "LDR" folder so that the user can decide whether or not to integrate them.

 

Does anyone agree?????

I have no control over them, they are provided by someone else. Sorry.

General and Security Updates are either GDR only or GDR+LDR

you can easily install those normally (without LDR mode) to get GDR branch

and you may include/count Platform & Platform Updates & IE11/10 into this

 

Hotfixes however, some are LDR only, and the rest are GDR+LDR

managing those will be tricky for you

 

anyway, if you want to only have GDR updates, it's better you stick to what Windows Update offers 

or you may install "General, Security, Platform, Platform Updates, IE11 Cabs, IE11 Updates, WUClient" in normal mode, then go to Windows Update and see what else it offers and download them

Thank you all!!  I think that sorts out my question, much appreciated.
