Thanks for your patience and help.
I found this for permissions:
All Application Packages: Read
Creator/ owner: Special
System: Full Read, Special
Administrators: Full, read, special
Users: Read
Interactive: Read

at first blush this looks like what I want to see. I'll reboot the system and see if that helps.

Under advanced permissions, you should also see Interactive have permissions for Set Value and Create Subkey. The update should have restored those. Without them, you will see the symptoms detailed in this thread.

I was able to get WMC back by uninstalling 2022-03 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB5011564). Then opting for me to choose which updates to install. Don't have a resolution beyond not installing that update

I just installed July's Monthly Rollup for Windows 7 x 64 (KB5028240) and WMC is still working. Timed recordings start, play and end correctly, and EPG123 still updates.

Oh? How did you do that? That updates is only intended for 7 Embedded and Server 2008 R2.

Take a look at these two links:

The Simplix Pack is simpler if you're bringing an older Windows 7 installation up to speed.

Always glad to help. Let's hope this time we have a permanent home for continued Windows 7/WMC discussions :thumbup:

August's Monthly Rollup for Windows 7 (KB5029296) and .NET Framework for 3.5.1 (KB5028969) don't appear to adversely affect WMC. Timed recordings start, play and end correctly, and EPG123 still updates.

I appears that Windows 7 will continue to get security updates through Oct of 2024, and since there haven't been any problems with these updates adversely affecting WMC in over a year, I will only continue to post if any of the new updates break WMC.
