Anyone else excited for tomorrow's update? I know I am! Started working on documenting every one of the new patches as they happen to make it easier for everyone else to figure out which ones to use and possibly stay away from. I wonder if there are any other updates this month that we either haven't heard of because of a lower level of importance, or they just haven't been sent out yet... M$ seems to have a thing for doing sneaky $H1T like that, releasing non-essential or sometimes "optional" patches behind our backs. They've been doing that for years, making it an even bigger pain in the A$$ to keep track of every single new one. Hopefully the new v5 patch will help us detect most (if not all) future updates as they appear so that we won't have to go digging for them 1 by 1 like with last month's fixes.
Okay I got the patch to work since i last posted. I saved it to the desktop but I only had option 3, with version 5. strange. When checking for updates kb4537829 showed. I guess as stated its safe now? Happy Sh!TTY windows 7 still gets some updates.
Yep, found that in the script and checked the registry: The entry had been added correctly. Really interesting that it doesn't get used...
Me too LOL. Never been so interested in patch Tuesday. Only been bothered before when I've experienced problems.
Only thing still failing for me is Server 2008 SP2. Hopefully, @abbodi1406 will post the Server 2008 SP2 x64 package, eventually. AFAIK, for NT 6.0 32bit, all hope is lost, as no test update was released for that.
All current ESU updates are listed here: ps, that rss feed gave you a notification for a 3 yr old 2017 dotnet preview rollup?
Digging more into this: I renamed wuaueng.dll and tried to start the service. Now I get an error message. As soon as I rename it back, the service starts.
Test update KB4528081 is actually not useful, as the its component version is lower than February ESU updates but we have another working workaround, it will be released shotly
I assume it works? I currently have no bypass and the first ESU rollup with that test update, waiting before doing anything else. EDIT: I can confirm that you can install the latest rollup with only the initial "test" update and February rollup+SSU installed without a bypass.
i just received and installed both march rollup and SSU ESU through WU. Thank you for the great work @abbodi1406 You are the man.
I've just installed the following three updates through microsoft update catalog (manually) as posted by @Enthousiast, in this order with the Bypass v5 (only ESU suppressor): 1) Internet Explorer 11 Cumulative Update (KB4540671) 2) Security Only (KB4541500) 3) Monthly Rollup (KB4540688) Before that i didn't install the following updates from 02/2020: - Extended Security Updates (ESU) Licensing Preparation Package (KB4538483) - Servicing Stack Update [Feb 2020] (KB4537829) And for now i don't install the Servicing Stack Update [Mar 2020] (KB4550735).
Why do you install all updates, it's either separate msie11+security only (not on WU) OR rollup (on WU). 2020-03 SSU is needed for being able to install the next April updates.
Installed successfully in this order: 1.) BypassESU-v5-AIO (#2, ESU Suppressor) 2.) SSU kb4537829 3.) March IE Security kb4540671 4.) March Security only kb4541500 Nice job by the developers. Thank–you for your work.
@Enthousiast Didn't know that KB4540671 and KB4541500 are a part of KB4540688. Had read something like this also at time of the feb 2020 rollup. If i need SSU 03-2020 for next Updates, then i install it later
