Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

@Enthousiast... looks like one too many beers above ... great word, though!

 

Just a typo, fixed.

 

Works like a charm. After everything is said and done, and rebooted the computer, It was able to discover Feb 2020 monthly rollup, and download/install it.

Thanks!

 

@abbodi1406 nope I just throw a WU error that says something like Windows Update cannot find (or search I don't remember very well) updates for this computer. If I try to erase the entire bypass v5 with the live os setup and reinstall it I would have to take the bypass I think

 

i'm no longer being offered KB4537829, is this the same for anyone else?

> ESU NOT activated

it seems if you stop and start windows update service the system goes back into a ESU not active state.

 

I Confused

Yes, both are there. I also compared wuaueng.dll to wuaueng3.dll using vbindiff and found wuaueng3.dll
to be properly patched.

However, when checking WindowsUpdate.log, I noticed some references to wuaueng3.dll on the
WSUS server machine (the one which actually detected the ESU patches properly) while on the
problematic machine I found only wuaueng.dll in the logfile. So I did something nasty and replaced
wuaueng.dll by wuaueng3.dll in system32 and now it works.

So apparently somehow wuaueng3.dll was not actually used on the problematic box...

To be exact: This helped on two of two machines (on Win7 Enterprise x86 and one x64).

 

Short question:

In the "Bypass v5" tutorial on page 1 it is recommended to install KB4538483 (licensing prep. pack.) BEFORE before using BypassESU-v5 aio solution.
On Page 70 Enthousiast claims to install KB4538483 AFTER install BypassESU-v5...

Does it matter whether it is installed before or after?

Can need a reboot (or a WU reset) before WU offers the ESU updates.

Should work instantly.

 

I'm not sure if you understand me correcly. I wanted to know if I have to install "KB4538483: ESU Licensing Preparation Package" before or after running BypassESU v5 installation on a "ESU virgin machine".(?) Cause there are two different tutorials here in this thread. Or does it not matter?

That was exactly what i meant in my reply.

 

Could anyone please tell me if i can use v4 for March ESU or do I have to use v5

 

If v4 is used as instructed, all probably will be fine*, only no ESU updates on WU.

* Nobody knows what MSFT will throw at the devs, next tuesday

 

Thanks for that

 

i've been told that new patches appear every second week of each month so next march ESU updates should be available today.

 

Every second tuesday of the month is patch-tuesday, 10 AM redmond time, 7 PM western european time (18h17m from now).

 

so that's for today as i just said.
