- You can't install updates on Windows 8.1 Client without BypassESU - Updates can fail for other reasons, check the big logs at C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 installed with ESU, but I can't install the .NET 4.8 security update patches after 2023. However, I can successfully install the security patches for .NET 4.8 before 2023. What settings do I need to make, or what do I need to install to resolve this issue? This has been troubling me for quite some time, thank you
For Server 2008 R2 aka Windows 7 please refer to: bypass-windows-7-extended-security-updates-eligibility.80606 This thread which we are on is for Server 2012 R2 aka Windows 8.1 (and Server 2012 aka Windows 8). My two cents. Merry Christmas.
Windows 7 32 bits end of update october 2024 ( posready 7 update ) Windows 7 64bits end of update january 2026 ( server 2008r2 update )
I installed BypassESU and it succeeded. But I don't understand how you need BypassESU to install 8.1 Embedded updates on 8.1 Client but you don't need it for 8.0 Embedded updates on 8.0 Client.
8.0 Client ended long before the concept of ESU was invented, and they never blocked it explicitly (except for Feature Pack updates) ESU block was not added to Server 2012 updates until 2023-11
