But Microsoft has stopped support for Windows XP.
Then how in this world can anybody release updates for Windows XP?
Also, how would you release updates to Vista?

Both are already out of support from Microsoft.

You can de-activate the wannacry or any exploit that use eternal blue vuln by just changing a registry key. I made a tool that does that but is on my old archives.
