Hello Friends, After joining this forum back in January because of this thread, I quickly realized that there was an awful lot of noise, a lot of people giving advice, and hundreds of questions. I decided that the best thing for me to do was to wait a couple of months, then come back and see how things were shaking out. I think that may have been a good plan. I never was prone to rushing to get WU anyway. So the one question I have right now is, can I find all I need to know by studying abbodi1406's excellent starter post on the very first page of this thread? It looks as though he is consolidating all the pertinent info on that one post, and novice EOL updaters like me would be best served by starting there? Am I on the right track?
Here are the three best pages/posts which I have seen for installing and using ESU Bypass.

Good morning to you all, I installed Bypassesu-v5 on my computer on Windows 7. Unfortunately when I install the KB4537820 and KB4540688 updates I have an error message code 80073712. Can somebody help me? Thank you
I have some issue with Windows Update on Server 2008 R2. Well you see once the tuesday updates were released, i only received the Security Only Update and on Microsoft history there was also Monthly Rollup which didn't appear for me. Are there any more updates that i just haven't received?
These frequent error messages are usually solved 95% of the time by carrying out a very simple operations: a) Enter the operating system in Safe Mode. b) Delete the SoftwareDistribution subfolder located inside the Windows root folder. c) Restart in normal mode and try Windows Update again. Don't worry: the SoftwareDistribution subfolder will be created again and will allow you to get updates with Windows.
If someone wrote me or not Im still stuck on this. One win 7 said I had the updates on Tuesday. Sweet It was a fresh install 5 months ago. The rest nothing. I was told to refresh the WU? Ok How and where. Dont want to manually update them. Someone here is doing that. Since there is so few people here now my post shouldn't be missed. Write me on how or tell me to FO or something.
You have been answered several times, just one of them: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-117#post-1583687
Dont know quite how to do that Im googling trying to see what I can do. Seen one here he went manual on the updates and that may be the reason
If you don't know how to use one command line, what on earth makes you want to stay on 7 anyway. Open a cmd prompt as admin and copy past the line: Code: net stop wuauserv delete c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder and reboot, run WU again.
Added an instruction video for resetting WU manually to the Troubleshoot Q&A: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-118#post-1583751
This Post concerns Bypass-v5-AIO-WS2008 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, mentioned in Post (OP) #2379 of abbodi 1406. The Bypass-v5-AIO-WS2008 does not work properly or has a faulty operation. In fact, I tested this Bypass on my Fixed Computer which still works under Windows Vista Family Edition Premium SP2 with x86 architecture (32 Bits). First of all and as requested in the "Readme.txt" File, I have previously successfully installed the necessary Prerequisite Updates as follows: - KB4493730 x86 of April 2019 - KB4474419 x86 of September 2019 - KB4537830 x86 by February 2020-03-15 - KB4538484 x86. Then when I start the installation of Bypass-v5-AIO-WS2008 with the command "Liveos-Setup" with "run as administrator", he answers me the following message: ==== ERROR ==== Required updates are missing - You must install 1) KB4493730 2) KB4474419 3) KB4537830 (Féb. 2020) or later servicing Stack Update. Obviously there is a problem because these Prerequisite Updates are already properly installed on my system. Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Thank you in advance to the competent members of this Forum.
It's just to confirm that the bypass v5 utility works perfectly as expected with March 2020 esu updates on win7 ultimate: 1. KB4550735_Servicing stack update for Win7 SP1_Mar.10,2020 installed manually. 2. Mar. 10, 2020—KB4540688 (Full Mar2020 Rollup) installed online thru Win7 Update Center w/o any glitch. p.s. win7 restart seems to be essential upon the utility install A lot of thanks to the devs & contributors!
@BARBERET I just checked, and i now see that SHA2-Codesigning-Support registry (from KB4474419) gets only installed on Server 2008 not Vista you can manually edit LiveOS-Setup.cmd seach for this line Code: reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Servicing\Codesigning\SHA2 /v SHA2-Codesigning-Support 1>nul 2>nul && set shaupd=1 replace with Code: set shaupd=1 btw, did you try to install March or February updates on Vista? i don't think it need the bypass -- @GoneToPlaid welcome aboard
@abbodi1406 Just want to be sure, but do monthy rollups include any security fixes that don't come with security only updates? Or is it safe to skip monthly rollups and only install security only updates?
As the name says, Security-only packages include all security updates of that month. The full CUs include them, too, but have all additional feature and convenience fixes. There are no security-related updates exclusive to the CUs.
