    I found missing %SystemRoot%\System32\sle.dll file ... or missing \bin\sle.dll file .... possible from old version of bypass ? Only \bin\sle64.dll and \bin\sle32.dll exists, but i think maybe earlier version had \bin\sle.dll

    So that explains why my "LiveOS-Setup.cmd" batch script runs then exits with no error, it calls "PatchWU.cmd" then quits due to missing sle.dll

    @setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
    @echo off
    cd /d "%SystemRoot%\System32"
    if not exist sle.dll goto :eof
    if not exist "%~dp0bbe.exe" goto :eof

    goto :eof (will just silently exit with no error).

    @abbodi1406 can you please add error output if not exist, I dont even know how it is possible that my sle.dll disappeared, but i think also my %~dp0bbe.exe is missing too.

    Possibly this is just due to sle64.dll and bbe64.exe not getting properly renamed ?? Or maybe i dont understand .. in case sle and bbe should NOT exist..

    Also if i try and run manually

    C:\hotfix\bin>PatchWU.cmd PatchWU.xml

    I get error

    '"C:\hotfix\bin\bbe.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

    So if I make a copy of bbe64.exe and rename to \bin\bbe.exe than my PatchWU.cmd works successfully and exits back out to LiveOS-Setup.cmd but I have some other issue now ;)

    whoami /USER | find /i "S-1-5-18"
    I dont have any user S-1-5-18, only S-1-5-21

    Still continuing to debug ... line by line

    You probably mean the task for the WU patcher?

    Yes, just that.
    Is it indispensable or can it also be deactivated?

    I am sorry for repeating again the same question, but I did not get any answer at the moment.
    In my case, given that WU showed me KB4550738 + KB4550964 that I correctly installed, I'm reading about some people here who manually installed KB550964 e KB550965.
    This is the question: if I did not missunderstand what I am reading, why do apply the KB550965 that is already included in the KB550964?

    Because they don't read?

    All the windows 7s I keep running the windows update does not have anything but MSE.
    The computers can be fixed but haven't got the time yet.
    The updates are manually installed. None use IE so the only updates are for security and this below.
    THANKS a lot for the work here! Hope many dollars and good health find their way to you.
    If I miss something yell at me. This is the only dl for April
    2020-04 Servicing Stack Update for Windows Embedded Standard 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4550738)

    A very common misunderstanding is this: "I don't use IE, so I don't need the cumulative IE update!". Wrong.

    The cumulative IE update is to 99% not for the IE browser itself, but for the IE browser engine (Trident) that runs underneath. This engine is used at a LOT more places than just the browser: Web Desktop, Web folder views, thumbnails previews etc. Thus, even if you do not use the IE browser, you do use the engine, and you do need the IE CU!
    IE CUs might also update the secure channel (schannel.dll) component. Certificate handling 'n such. Important stuff.

    I have done a fresh backup of both my Desktop computer and my Notebook, so I'm ready for some action there.
    Please, help me.

    Read the info at the OP and Install v6 (+ kb4538483 when you've installed the WU patcher too).
