    That's what I tried to do, first installed kb4552940, that was successful but kb4552920 failed with a fatal error with this:

    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: VSSetup
    Problem Signature 01: KB4552920
    Problem Signature 02: 12.0.52632
    Problem Signature 03: 12.0.52627.36627
    Problem Signature 04: 1
    Problem Signature 05: NDP45-KB4552920.msp
    Problem Signature 06: Install_I_Interactive_Error
    Problem Signature 07: 1603
    Problem Signature 08: 0
    Problem Signature 09: CA_ESUValidate_x86
    OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
    Locale ID: 1033

    Looks like It has something to do with validation.

    "kb4556399 fails with error 643." for me too using 7/32.So I assume it's safe to say that KB4556399 is borked.A few other things:

    - this NET kb keeps on being reoffered in WU after the usual reboot, and fails to install every time I try...

    - kb 4555449 "Servicing stack update for Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1: May 12, 2020" only showed after rebooting.

    Still a great Patch Tuesday IMHO.I hug you, Enthousiast ! :)

    I think KB4556836 failed for me (I installed like 3 or 4 updates at once) but when I restarted my pc it was listed as successful, anyone else got this? I can't install KB4556399 as everyone else in this thread as well.

    i have this error installing kb4552921
    CustomAction CA_ESUValidate_amd64 returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

    i dont know if this can be relevant

    Servicing Stack updates only show when there's NO other Windows Updates in the queue.

    In this case where one fails to install, you can hide it temporarily, check again, then the SSU will show. Install that, then unhide the dodgy one.

    Forget about installing the updates, M$ Update Catalog is F***ed!
    How are we supposed to download the updates besides WU?

    What's wrong with the catalogue? Simply enter the KB numbers.

    EDIT: Nm, you're right. Nothing's showing up now, though it did earlier.

    Keep trying and they'll show up again at some point.

    I have been struggling with catalog all evening, it seems to be working from time to time but every second search it doesn't work.

    Do you know anything about the extent of updates for May? I can't run a search without seeing either a blank page or pointless drivers!
    Some links to direct download would be nice.

    KB4556399 can be installed on Windows 7 installation with official Microsoft ESU-License, confirmed by a friend who owns such a license.

    If I uninstall KB4556836, reboot and check for updates and try to install will it work or not because it replaced the previous rollup or something?

    SSU from this month is needed for next month's updates.
