    Absolutely it's their fault. Just presenting a case where it's possible to apply the "increased risk of malware" argument. :) Otherwise those sites claiming so, don't have much else to go on.

    Downloaded v5 after previously have v4 installed, was only offered the 3rd option. Is that normal or have i messed up the esu update bypass?

    Normal if the full ESU test update is installed. Then, the ESU Bypass is in place, already. Option 3 enables WU to show ESU updates (optional).

    It has been mentioned a few times.

    When v4 is used to install KB4528069, then v5 will only offer the WU patcher, because the ESU suppressor is already installed.

    i assume that you will have to restart wuauserv after deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder to hopefully get ESU updates through WU.

    He forgot to put in "and reboot" before retrying WU.

    Hi all, I'm new here.

    Does anyone know where I may find a list of all the updates for Windows 7 Pro x64?
    Anything better than Acronis Image to backup an image before and afterI try this?
    I haven't installed a Windows OS and do all the patches in a long time. What long is still going to take?

    You can use WHD+W7UI or SIMPLIX Updatepack to update the image offline or the install online.

    But this is better to be discussed in the win 7 part of the forum:

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I'll head over to that forum in a bit, but can you clue me in on what WHD+W7UI or SIMPLIX is? I've been out of the loop for so long, it's embarrassing how much I have to catch up on.

    Simplix is a monthly self installing updatepack, it's in the sticky threads on the 7 part of the forum and WHD is WIndows Hotfix Downloader* + W7UI** is the online/offline Updates Installer script.

    I too am seeing an 80073712 error after a full install of V5 and having restarted. WU finds two new updates, KB4537820 & KB947821. KB4537820 is the one giving the error. KB947821 almost looks like a "fixit" update for WU. Is WU somehow detecting it was altered?

    Yes, I am less worried about that and my concerned why I am seeing an 80073712 error after a full install of V5, having restarted, and trying to install KB4537820. I saw KB4528069 is bundled with V5. Is V5 also compatible with Server 2008 R2?
