Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

I also found that Bypass-v5 might not install correctly if you have 3rd party security apps installed, in this case it was OSarmor v1.43. With protection enabled in OSarmor, installed Bypass, rebooted, and WU could not find updates (even though Bypass looked like it installed okay). Had to uninstall Bypass, disable OSarmor, reinstall Bypass, then WU worked. So if you have OSarmor or similar security app, make sure to disable it first before installing Bypass.

None of them are ESU stage updates, alle normal updates are superseded or never installed by you.

I asked if KB4538483 was installed, this is the update that enables WU to offer ESU updates, combined with v5.

If KB4540688 installs, kb...069 will be installed when you've used v4 as intended, thereby the ESU patcher is installed.

 

I have used BypassESU-v5 a few days ago, everything went well, all updates installed, WU seems to be working (THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS!!). However, today I've received the full-screen notification from MS (Win 7 is not supported anymore...). Sure, I can just check "don't show again" button but I am wondering, is it how it's supposed to be? (The original version of the bypass was meant to fool MS that my computer is eligible for ESU). Thanks in advance.

 

The EOL message can be suppressed, not part of the bypass.

 

OK. I will try this solution

 

Not all heroes wear capes. Almost switch to windows 10 when i found this thread.
Saved me quite a headache.

 

I tried that solution but unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Maybe Bypass is not active. Do you know how I can verify it?

 

What exactly the meaning of "it doesn't work" properly?

Does Windows Update not perform automatic or manual searches.... or the same previous error persist when you search with WU?

If Windows Update still doesn't work, with or without errors, after you have installed Bypass-v5, then you will need to go through the first post of this thread to find the mistake you made in Bypass installation.

If Windows Update DOES work with previous error then you should look for the Microsoft tool that tries to automatically fix Windows Update errors: WindowsUpdate.diagcab for Windows 7

 

I've downloaded BypassESU-v5-AIO.7z and followed instructions in the readme file. There was nothing left to install in Windows Updates and I've verified I had all Prerequisite Updates installed.

I deployed BypassESU and managed to seemingly successfully install every ESU update I was offered through Windows Update including latest KB4540688 (Monthly Rollup, March 2020) and KB4550735 (SSU, March 2020).

Now I noticed that OP post lists slightly different Prerequisite Updates than readme file: it says I should have used KB4537829 (SSU, February 2020) instead of KB4536952 (SSU, January 2020).

I checked my logs and KB4537829 was never installed on my machine and it's not offered to me through Windows Update.

I am not sure but It looks like KB4537829 was superseded by KB4550735.

Is it ok to use BypassESU with January SSU instead of February SSU? Does it affect anything in the long run?

 

Run the bypass again and show us a screenshot of the options it shows.

 

Does it mean sources are no longer available?

Short answer, yes it's okay. In fact, I prefer installing BypassV5 on Jan 2020 SSU, because I've seen (small) problems with using Feb SSU such as Feb CU taking 30+ mins to finish reboot cycle. When I used Jan SSU to install BypassV5, applying Feb CU reboots within seconds.
