Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

I experienced an issue: installed Bypass-v5 after Feb 2020 SSU prerequisite (KB4537829), then installed 2020-02 CU, but after rebooting was stuck for over 30 minutes on "Preparing to configure windows updates". The CU eventually installed successfully however.

As a test, (on another computer,) installed Bypass-v5 after Jan 2020 SSU (not Feb), and the 2020-02 CU reboot process completed very quickly (took just a few seconds)

Both computers were clean, never had Bypass installed before.

Question is, will there be any problems down the road, if we choose to install Bypass-v5 with Jan 2020 SSU (and not Feb SSU)?

 

I have a fresh install 7 back in Oct that works perfect. Notifications when updates come.
The rest of the 7s I have do not give notice for updates. They all have the same Downloads from the instructions here.
All windows 7s have the v5.
I can manually update but rather WU let me know.
I was told to refresh or reset WU. Could you tell me or post a link on this how project. Haven't had time all week to work on it till now and it was best to wait to see what or if the other 7s will do anything without manually installing it
May be a quick fix. Thanks

 

its weird thought that they are not new updates for net framework for 7 and 2008 r2

 

Try it on Windows 2008

 

Try to edit the LiveOS-setup.cmd and delete %%configsetroot%%\ from it at line 264:
Change:

Code:

echo.            ^<source location="%%configsetroot%%\Windows6.1-KB4528069-%xOS%.cab" /^>

to

Code:

echo.            ^<source location="Windows6.1-KB4528069-%xOS%.cab" /^>

And retry the cmd.

 

I Manually installed updates from the update catalog, all ok,

Thanks a lot!

 

It doesn't work with Windows Vista. I have installed all updates (except for KB4493730 because it says it doesn't apply for my system). But it just shows "ERROR" and requesting me to install these updates.

I think it failed at this:
reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Servicing\Codesigning\SHA2 /v SHA2-Codesigning-Support 1>nul 2>nul && set shaupd=1
if %shaupd% neq 1 goto :E_SSUSHA

 

Following the instructions in #1 after a Win7 clean install, + simplex, I installed the four Feb updates. Everything went smoothly and worked.
Now, the computer directly starts into Safe Mode page. I can simply use the arrow to go down to Start Normally and it will do exactly that, without any further problem
Where did I go wrong?

Thank you
(Depending on the answer, this may belong in another page?)

 

If one answer is enough for you, i can tell you that when you would have used UpdatePack20.3.12, it would already have all updates installed and patched WU, simplix now uses IMI-Kurwica Bypass.

ps, simplix ran on a clean install will probably reboot and run in "sort of" safe mode (black background) and install updates, next it reboots and cleans up after itself.

 

On Friday I installed the UpdatePack7R2-20.2.12, which was the latest one at time of download, and then the Feb updates with ESU, as I did not know if they are included or not.
I just now downloaded 20.3.12 and installed it, it found three uninstalled updates, and after restart, cleaning up, restart, again it offers "safe mode (black background)", but I can click downwards and it will install "Windows Normally"...

What is best to do now?

 

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. You might want to bookmark them in your browser:

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?

 

Just a small question, are the bypass and wu updater open source?

 

That's always the right thing to do, reading the OP.

 

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.
