Just a quick heads up for those users and system administrators who are tired of accessing the Microsoft Update Catalog in Internet Explorer or using the workaround to use other browsers: the site is now working in any modern browser.
Simply point your web browser to the main address -- http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx -- and the site should open just fine.
No more using Internet Explorer to download patches from the Update Catalog, or using the RSS feed workaround to download them using other browsers.
I have tested the site with Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi, and it worked fine in all of them. Surprisingly though, it does not work in Microsoft Edge yet because there is still a script running on the page that checks for Edge and intercepts the connection.

Can right click those icons and "move to menu". Be nicer if the menu was the default location, but this is tolerable.

Ouch. Yet another interface devolvement.
Ah, nice, didn't know that. Thank you.
