Strange, as it is an official Windows procedure and not some hack.

Strange as well. Not sure why I dont have these updates individually available. 

I am also unable to install these updates anymore. It doesn't show any of these updates identified here as available to be uninstalled. Hopefully its a bug that gets squashed by Microsoft as it appears //42 will not be any help.

If they are not listed in the list of updates, that usually means that they have not been installed in the first place. So, very odd indeed.

A Trojan maybe?

Some appear after you uninstalled the two others. This way it was my first uninstall. After that only two were available for uninstall. 

So I forgot the disable the updates and KB5054979, KB505552 returned. Nevertheless, I've removed them again and paused my updates for the time being. The aforementioned updates did not appear anymore. Now I'm able to fly again properly.

 

I do not know if they just didn't come back, but seems that they are not the culprits. Since I just want to fly and not troubleshoot tonight I'll recheck if I can install maybe 1 of them instead of removing the both. Otherwise just hope for a proper update from Windows as I do not expect //42 to fix this matter.

I'm still very very tempted to just throw down the forty bucks and get ezdok. It's still supported I believe and does everything CP does. I'm waiting to see if the next windows update fixes CP, if not it's ezdok for me.

I am running EZDOK 3 (specifically v3.0.1.84) with P3D v4.5 HF3.  As a user of P3D v4.5, I am unable to use a higher version of EZDOK, but the v3.0.1.84 works perfectly fine with my setup and gives me no issues whatsoever.  I have had no issues wit EZDOK and the latest Windows Updates.

Be aware there is a bit of a learning curve with EZDOK if you're not familiar with it, but the default settings work well enough if you don't want to dive right in.  That said, once you get the hang of it, it is extremely flexible and you are able to get very realistic results with it.

@freddy_ thanks for this.

At the moment, I will still hold on and wait, what Windows Updates are going to change. So far no new updates have been released.

Is there a public schedule for the releasing updates of Windows? Or is it just random? 

I am thinking that if many people join together to write a letter/petition to Parallel 42 this just might help getting the issue fixed? They might be able to do something? Being hopeful of course.

Windows updates help you to stay productive and protected. They provide your users and IT administrators with the security fixes they need, and protect devices so that unpatched vulnerabilities can't be exploited. Updates for the Windows client OS are typically cumulative. They include all previously released fixes to guard against fragmentation of the operating system. Reliability and vulnerability issues can occur when only a subset of fixes is installed.

This article provides details on the types of updates that Microsoft provides, and how they help make the overall user experience simple and consistent.

 Tip

If you'd like to know what's coming to Windows, check out the Windows Roadmap. The roadmap is a high-level overview of the features and functionality that are planned for future releases of Windows.

Types of update releases

Monthly security update releaseA cumulative update release that includes both security and nonsecurity contentSecond Tuesday of each month, typically published at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (PST/PDT)

Out-of-band (OOB) releaseResolves a recently identified issue or vulnerabilityAs needed

Annual feature updateAn update with new features and enhancements that also changes the Windows versionOnce a year in the second half of the calendar year

Continuous innovation for Windows 11Introduces new features and enhancements for Windows 11Periodically included in an optional nonsecurity preview release then in the monthly security update releases

Monthly security update release

Most people are familiar with the monthly security update release. The monthly security update release is published on the second Tuesday of each month, typically at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (PST/PDT). This release might commonly be referred to as:

Patch Tuesday

Update Tuesday

B week releases (meaning the second week of the month)

Quality updates

Security updates

Latest cumulative update (LCU)

Monthly security update releases are cumulative. The release includes both new and previously released security fixes, along with nonsecurity content introduced in the prior month's Optional nonsecurity preview release. These updates help keep Windows devices secure and compliant by deploying stability fixes and addressing security vulnerabilities. Most organizations consider monthly security update releases as mandatory.

Monthly security update releases are available through the following channels:

Windows Update

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)

The Microsoft Update Catalog

Many update management tools, such as Microsoft Configuration Managerand Microsoft Intune, rely on these channels for update deployment.

Starting Windows 11, version 24H2, Microsoft may periodically release cumulative updates as checkpoints. The subsequent updates will consist of:

The update package files associated with the checkpoints, and

New update package files that contain incremental binary differentials against the version of binaries in the last checkpoint.

Multiple checkpoints may be shipped during the lifecycle of a given Windows release. Devices updating from Windows Update and WSUS can continue to seamlessly install the latest monthly security update regardless of whether there are any preceding checkpoint cumulative updates, no change is needed to their update process. Catalog users can review Checkpoint cumulative updates and Microsoft Update Catalog usage for reference.

 

@Ray Proudfoot hope that helps Ray. I glean the next security update next Tuesday. What do you get if anything?

I’ve turned off Windows Updates until the end of May. I’m hoping they might have discovered they broke panning with hat switches by then.

It would be more understandable if panning broke completely. But it just slows down. I don’t get the logic. Hence why I think it’s happened by accident.
