    You already have SSU KB4537829 installed else the march updates shouldn't have installed, and SSU KB4550735 is now needed for the April updates.

    that's strange, how could you be able to install march security ESU without the feb SSU KB4537829 being installed ?
    March security ESU updates cannot be installed without KB4537829.
    Are you sure you installed March security ESU updates ?
    Which march updates did you exactly install ?

    using either esu bypass v4 or v5 on Win7 home premium ends in failure - KB4528069 cannot be installed on there as it repeatedly fails to install (and hence the bypass doesn't work) :(
    guess I'm gonna have to upgrade the Win7 edition on his laptop to at least Pro

    you have both march rollup KB4540688 and SSU KB4550735 installed, which means that KB4537829 is already installed on your machine.
    Check the installed updates list and you will find that KB4537829 is there.

    So, you installed both, the rollup, and the two separate updates which were already installed when installing the rollup.

    Can you show the exact error message?

    Because in some cases configroot is not set correctly and the script can't find the cab file.

    ps, this post is based on Premium with v5 installed:

    Make sure that these 3 pre-requisite updates are installed on your machine before installing the bypass then KB4528069

    KB4490628
    KB4474419
    KB4536952

    if they are not installed, install them in this order :

    KB4490628 -> KB4474419 -> reboot -> KB4536952

    You can also take a look at first post, @abbodi1406 has listed all the prerequisite updates that have to be installed on the machine before installing the bypass.

    All is working with March updates. I want to thank the developers from the bottom of my heart. I also appreciate all the posts on this forum for we all learn from each other. This forum is a bright spot of the internet. Keep on with all the great work!

    I'm talking about general problems when sucessfully using v4 before (which also needed KB4528069) and wanted to use WU now.
    For @erpsterm35 I'd recommend to install the January or February SSU manually and also the January Rollup. Then I'd follow the instructions in post #1. Also Home Premium could be the problem since it's not officially supported.

    1st a BIG thanks!
    Just a quick note in case it matters to anyone: V.4 worked for Feb. but not March with a win7 V/Box VM running on a PC with a Ryzen 2700 -- v. 5 worked perfectly, but I had to re-run wufuc & reboot to enable updates with new hardware.
