I don't know of such a place. Perhaps if you were a big
corporation who was paying Microsoft for ongoing XP support...
I saw a brief item about new XP updates in online news. The
article did not have any details or links. So I did a Google
search for 'Windows XP updates' with results limited to past
month. That search turned up these two Microsoft blog articles

Thanks Ralph. I've bookmarked the last URL and will check it now and then, hoping it gets updated with new updates (as it seems to have updates for older OS going back a few years).

then, hoping it gets updated with new updates (as it seems to have
updates for older OS going back a few years).
If and when a next XP update is (ever) released, I don't know whether
(a) that last page would be updated, or whether (b) a new page with a different URL would be created. That is, I cannot be sure that
checking
the last URL would be of help the next time round.
Maybe bookmark and check these two URLs at the MS Update Catalog:
http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=windows+xp+sp3 http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=xp+service+pack+3
You will want to sort the Update Catalog by "Last Updated" descending
to see the latest updates at the top. Sorting can be flaky at times
but seems to work better when I use all lowercase in the search query.
Here is an online _news_ search for XP updates
https://news.google.com/news/search/section/q/xp%20updates/xp%20updates?hl=en&ned=us
and here is a web search for XP updates with results limited to the
past month

This question has now been answered.
There is a new update for XP. The link above has *not* been updated.
