KB2781272 aka UEFI HotFix

Question

Sign in to vote

Help please,

On the download page ( http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2781272&kbln=en-us ) for this hotfix, we are offered three choices which all look alike. All say 'latest'. Do I just take the last one? If so, why are the others there?

I presumed that this has not appeared in a normal update. I cannot find it. I wonder why.

When you click on "show additional information" you'll see that the first one is the latest.

Microsoft is being very stupid removing all of the old hotfixes from their websites. They are also wiping out old blogs and thus invalidating many cross-linked articles to those blogs and hotfixes. It is insane.

I found a source for KB2781272 on the wayback machine (WWW archive) here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130910201028/http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/WHS%202011/latest/KB2781272/6.1.8800.16402/free/459525_intl_x64_zip.exe

I hope this is helpful to others stuck in the same bind.
