    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

    could you check server core too? usually it's index 4,5,6 in install.wim

    if the file doesn't exist, check and share the full name for this file (i don't know the exact name)
    Code:
    \Windows\winsxs\Manifests\amd64_windowsserverfoundation_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514*.manifest

    Word of caution

    I am running W7 on a Kaby Lake processor which is unsupported by Microsoft. I was running a script called wufuc to disable the hardware check in WU.

    The WU ESU Patcher interferes with wufuc so the hardware check is re-enabled so WU will not work. I am using Windows defender antivirus so I need to download the daily updates.

    Fortunately the Live OS script allows the patcher to be removed, I reran the wufuc script and rebooted and back to normal.

    So if you have a Kaby Lake processor you will have to stick to manual updates.

    It does NOT interfere with wufuc. Me and a few people have tested it, and can confirm that it works!
    I am able to install all ESU updates on my Ryzen machine.

    Note: The LiveOS script makes a copy of wuaueng.dll (the same dll patched by wufuc) and the only difference is that in the new copy (in my case wuaueng3.dll) I have wufuc patch and bypass patch all included in the new dll!

    Here's what you should do:
    - Uninstall both wufuc and Bypass v5
    - Install wufuc
    - Reboot
    - Install Bypass v5
    - Reboot
    - Check for updates in Windows Update

    I have KabeLake CPU on 2 desktop running W7 Ultimate x64, & no problem using wufuc & WU ESU Patcher. Follow what pescho_georgiev posted above & you will be able to use automatic WU.
