I just tried a couple of things from the first post.
I'm very tech challenged so please keep that in mind.

Method 1, I couldn't get it to work. No matter what instructions I followed, it kept updating from 1.17 to 1.3

Method 2a, I'm using Kindle for PC 1.14.1 because it was the 'one' that never updated automatically for me. However, the KFX_begone4.bat file trick still doesn't allow me to download the newer books [that I'm assuming are KFX because when I try to download them it gives me the error "Your kindle requires an app to view this content.."
I also tried it with 1.17, but I can't get that version to stop updating.

So my question is, I just want to understand if the above fixes work for everyone, and it's something I'm doing wrong, or if they only work sometimes.
Not wanting to take anything away from the hard work people put into all of this, I just want to know if it's me.
You can't download new books (published in 2023) with any old version of Kindle for PC, either 1.14 or 1.17. To remove the DRM from the books published in 2023, you'll need to use methods 3 or 6.
