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
March 10 Win-7/64 maximum KB4540688 - security fix KB890830 - removal of malware. Reboot: KB4550735 .
You must install march SSU too KB4550735 to be able to install next april security only or next april rollup.
This isn't working for me through Windows Update. I had the v4 Bypass Installed and then downloaded V5 AIO and I do not get the updates offered to me through Windows Update. Also, when I installed V5 AIO, I only got Option 3 (Install WU ESU Patcher and Option 9 to Exit. Any help on getting things to work through Windows Update would be appreciated!! EDIT: I read the readme and installed all prior KB's as per instructions.
Yes I do see that there is an updated SSU for March. I am trying to avoid those for as long as possible given last's months problem with kb4537829 but eventually it will have to be installed.
Did you follow the tutorial, specially the ESU Licensing preparation update, to be able to get the new ESU updates offered on WU. Updated:
Apparently I wasn't keeping up-to-date and had to manually install KB4538483. After that, March ESU baby!
