    On my tests all required a reboot when the new ESU Lic. Prep. Update was installed.

    Tomorrow you will know if all worked out fine.

    I had 1-noRestart and 2-reStarts... I wouldn't make anything of the issue. We'll talk tomorrow ;)

    I have two windows 7 enterprise installations, both x86 and running in VMware.
    one installation required a reboot after this update, the other one did not.
    weird update..

    Are there any of the prerequisite updates that were not offered via WU at all and would have to be manually install before using the bypass?

    The bypass will report a missing prerequisite, all are listed at the OP, to be able to verify manually if they are installed, for the coming may updates on WU, the new ESU Lic. Prep. Update is also expected to be needed.

    I figured out what the issue was. My file extractor was outdated, causing the files not to show when decrypted, but only for the V6 file. Once I updated it to the latest version it was fine.

    WU has offered me 3 important files: the security-features KB4556836, an update for the dot Net framework, and the removal tool.They're preparing to install. We'll see.

    Same problem... Even tried the .NET 4.8 Repair Tool and re-running kb4556399 from the Windows Catalog on Win7 Ultimate X64.

    No clue what the issue is.
