Bypass ESU Blue

server 2012 ( not r2 ) update install on windows 8.0 fine

 

I did not notice about the updates ESU KB5017220 before installing Bypass even I used it on Windows 7 before
Any way uninstall ESU Bypass then install KB5017220 then re install Bypass again
Then I changed EditionID from " Coresinglelanguage" to " EmbeddedIndustry"
Without need for reboot I get two updates
KB5022899 and KB5022733

Thank you for you amazing work

 

I just followed "Read me " instructions
even I know there is no ESU for Windows 8.1
and I just read about windows server 2012 ESU until 2026
I just get confused

Am I correct in that this bypass only removes the block that prevents the installation of Windows 8 Embedded Patches? Patches must be downloaded and installed manually. This bypass has no effect on Windows Update finding, downloading, and installing the patches.

 

I now realized there needs to be a registry edit before Windows Update works. Problem is I followed the post above me thinking that was for Windows 8.1 and made 3 incorrect changes.

I know EditionID= should be EmbeddedIndustry.

What should be the proper value for

InstallationType=

and

ProuctName=

Thank you for helping.

 

Hello ah-le-le,
see post #27. You only have to change the 8 to 8.1.

 

windows 8.1 ? => add this

EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustryE"

if windows 8.0

create batch file with this

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v EditionID /t REG_SZ /d "Embedded" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v InstallationType /t REG_SZ /d "Embedded" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName /t REG_SZ /d "Windows Embedded 8 Standard" /f

run net stop wuauserv

delete software distribution folder re run windows update

 

Thanks guys. I realize that it is not necessary to change the values of:

InstallationType=

and

ProductName=

on a Windows 8.1 machine to receive the updates but I mistakenly already did.

Currently, the values on the Windows 8.1 Home System are:

"InstallationType"="Embedded"
"EditionID"="EmbeddedIndustry"
"ProductName"="Windows Embedded 8 Standard"

Will this mismatch cause a problem? I am concerned it might in the future which is why I want to enter what is considered the proper values.

Additional question:

Is Windows Defender part of Windows Embedded? Reason for asking is it seems as though Defender is no longer updated though Windows Update.

 

the only problem with win 8 is being able to install framework 4.8 any tips?
it installs but when you use a program that uses framework 4.8 it says it doesn't have it installed

 

use orca msi editor and delete check ?

Thank you. That is what I will do.

Off topic, but this thread is pretty sparse considering that Windows 8 is still a decent and relatively lightweight OS that just needed a 3rd party shell.
