Small world. I have also been looking for websites on that topic.
I have also not been able to find any information for fixes for
Windows 3.1 Microsoft released.
I do not know if Microsoft released patched for Windows 3.1 and Y2k
compability. I think IBM for WIN/OS2 did.
Well, you all are chasing unicorns here.
Yes, Microsoft did release a Y2K patch for Windows 3.1x. In 1997. But...
Microsoft has set the end of support for Windows 3.1x for December 31st,
2001. That is 21 years ago. Support for a special (non-retail) embedded
version of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 ended 2008, still 13 years ago.
All references and possible downloads for anything DOS and Windows <=
3.11 has been removed from Microsoft's web site(s) at least 10 years
ago. By that time, pretty much all application and driver support from
3rd parties has evaporated as well.
There might be bits and pieces around the interwebs still, like old
SimTel and/or Garbo mirrors. The before mentioned Y2K patch
(practically, a new Windows File Manager) for example can be found at
VetusWare
https://vetusware.com/download/Win3.13.11%20File%20Manager%20Y2K%20update/?id=4446
If someone seriously wants to dabble in Windows 3.1x, you need
definitely hone your Google-Fu skills. As I said, you're chasing
unicorns... ;-)
