    By removing Bitdefender 2020 Total Security on my Desktop PC running Window 7 Pro 64-Bit I was able to run the LiveOS-Setup properly to manually download and install the 3-2020 Monthly rollups for Windows 7 for x64-based System (KB4540688) I wanted to thank Enthousiast for getting back so quickly with the much needed information.

    Thanks for the info. Just to be sure, can you desactivate it once again?
    Also, do you know if updating with WU (i.e. rollups), is worse than security only updates regarding telemetry?

    never mind I found the problem as to why the bypass v5 keeps failing as in the attached pic on the win7 home premium laptop:

    win7-bypass-esu-v5-failure.png

    seems I had KB4528069 previously installed on there and somehow uninstalled it almost a month ago (but not all of the files & reg entries related to 4528069 were removed) and attempting to re-install KB4528069 ends in failure. Had to use PowerRun to run RegEdit and a 3rd party File Manager tool like Explorer++ with either SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller rights to delete all the registry entries and kb4528069 cat/mum files from the \Windows\Servicing\Packages\ & \Windows\System32\Catroot\ folder

    with all the KB4528069 files & reg entries completely gone, I rebooted and re-ran the bypass esu v5 script and KB4528069 installed successfully on the laptop using Win7 Home premium. after that I installed the Mar 2020 SSU & monthly rollup without any problems :)

    lesson learned - never remove KB4528069, keep it on there

    Quick question because I don't see this stated anywhere - I used Lite KB4528069 last month, is it required or recommended to now 'upgrade' to BypassESU-v5?

    I only manually install security patches so I don't need WU. I just want to know what the best and recommended approach is. Thank you!

    Since you don't use WU, just keep installing manually the monthly ESU. You don't need to install ByPassESU-v5.

    Thanks for the answers @Enthousiast and @pegasus80

    So does that mean option 2 of BypassESU-v5: Install ESU Suppressor, is the same thing as Lite KB4528069 or technically is there some difference between them? Just curious.

    Not sure if that's directly the answer but yes it seems that v5 option 2 is different to lite, a full install of KB4528069 rather than a 'lite' one if I understand correctly.

    They will both work for my needs (manual security patch only) but I was trying to establish which is better and for what reasons, nice to understand these things :)

    Wanted to take this opportunity thank you for your work on this project. IMHO it is wrong for Microsoft to block users from receiving critical security updates that are already available, and even worse to be profiting from it. We are blessed to have your support and support from others in the community who promote individual freedom.

    You only get SSU if there are no other pending updates at all (either hide them or install them)

    ## Important Notes:
    - KB4528069 cannot be uninstalled after installing ESU updates, and option [5] is not shown in that case

    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/68131/

    Yes it's required, to insure wuaueng.dll is always patched if it's updated

    Can anyone with Server 2008 R2 check if this file exist in the system (or install.wim)
    Code:
    \Windows\winsxs\Manifests\amd64_windowsfoundation_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_615fdfe2a739474c.manifest
    check both, full and core edition
    thanks
