    Go to "installed updates" and select the update and see if the uninstall option still is available.

    @abbodi1406 (I think) posted a script to kill this pest:

    Code:
    @echo off
    reg.exe query "HKU\S-1-5-19" 1>nul 2>nul || (echo Run the script as administrator&pause&exit)
    
    set "u_path=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft"

      set "s_path=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft"
      )
    )
    
    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge" /v NoRemove /f 2>nul
    reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge" /v NoRemove /f 2>nul
    
    for /D %%i in ("%u_path%\Edge SxS\Application\*") do if exist "%%i\installer\setup.exe" (
    start "" /w "%%i\installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --msedge-sxs --verbose-logging --force-uninstall --delete-profile

    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate" /v DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    pause

    Please note that the last reg add statement was added by myself, to prevent it from coming back.

    My experience suggested that to remove Microsoft Edge, uninstalling the update was not sufficient. There were leftovers, some of which were clearly visible as icons. Running the Abbodi's script with modification by Carlos removed them effectively. Thanks to both of them.

    Yes, to the latest version! Start script again, Press 2 (as far as I remember correct), make a reboot and search again for new windows updates!

    Everything below v8 is effectively dead, for Windows CUs. Dotnet CUs are, of course, an entirely different matter.

    Hello everyone, I know it's a long shot but is anyone having problems with specific games lately? Not sure if it's related to the newest updates but I'm getting a BSOD playing...Fall Guys. Stop code "0x0000001E", related to the kernel. It's not overheating and every other game or heavy software runs just fine. Memtest showed no errors, SFC fixed what was left to fix. Anyone?

    what's the difference between the BypassESU v8 & v9 releases, abbodi?
    it would be great if there was a changelog for all the BypassESU releases

    Fixed ESU install for latest CUs and .ndp48 CU. v9 now includes the .net 4 esu bypass from v7 and the "new" normal esu bypass from v8.

    Once the new Dotnet approach gets out of experimental stage, there will probably a v9f or a v10.

    I was getting that same error on the one PC with Windows 7 32 Bit I still maintain.
    In my case, nothing seemed to help.
    sfc /scannow revealed zero problems.
    The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 (KB947821) also found nothing to fix.
    Then today I read somewhere that running chkdsk c: /f could help.
    So I did that, and what do you know, after running chkdsk, KB4577051 finally installed.

    Hello,
    I'm new here, just registered to ask some stupid questions in this post ;).
    I try to get BypassESU running but it's not working at all for me.
    What I tried till now:
    -went through the prerequisite Updates >> all of them installed
    -"winmgmt" service is up and running
    -started "LiveOS-Setup.cmd" as Admin (or from Admin cmd) but no menu appears the script simply ends without any output. No error message, no selection menu, simply nothing.
    -used BypassESUv7 and v9 but for both exactly the same behaviour
    Has anyone a hint how to solve this? I'm sure someone has asked the same in the last 220 pages...

    Thanks a lot!

    System is Win7 SP1 Ultimate (64bit) with all Security Updates till Jan2020

    After unzipping the downloaded file, just right click LiveOS-Setup.cmd and select "run as admin" to start it.

    Administrator in a command prompt does't say anything because it's always there!
    Right click LiveOS-Setup.cmd and choose to execute in with admin rights (so not cmd.exe, but the script as admin)
