Windows 7 updates

Greetings

On old computer I still use Windows 7 (64-bit) PRO, updates are stopped and it says (Control Panel) that the last update was downloaded on 03.10.2022, while there are about ten more updates in Review your update history ?

Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Security Essentials

- KB2310138 (Version 1.377.929.0 to 1.375.1414.0 )

I can't see any of these versions in catalog.update.microsoft.com and their size ????

And if I stop the update in the control panel on Windows 7, can these Security Intelligence Updates or any others be updated ????

Support for win 7 including any updates ended 2020

I know that,

As Windows 7 is no longer supported, ..... new installations of Microsoft Security Essentials have ended as well. Microsoft will continue to provide signature updates for it until 2023.

The questions are these :

1. If I stop the updates in the control panel, do they stop ALL updates or are some still installed ?

2. Why can't I see these updates on catalog.update.microsoft.com and their size ?

"updates" that may come to your Windows 7 computer are unlikely to be needed. Microsoft stopped providing security updates long ago. Reset the setting in Windows Update to Never.....

You need to install a top-rated antivirus program and do regular backups. Use a top-end browser like Chrome. Be prudent about how you use your Win7 machine.

They are something else.

KB2310138 is being revised all the time. It is being installed with the same number every time, but it's never the same build or file.
