if all the pre-requisites updates have been installed successfully, you should now be able to install the bypass corectly. Reboot the machine and run again the bypass.
Thanks for suggestion. SFC found some errors and corrected them on this problem- win-7- ult- pc.. Restart, but boottime still 4min. Will try to install ESU patcher on another win 7 ult pc and see if it performs ok there.
NoTears said: ↑ @snofte Your problem could be related to damaged system files which existed before you decide to use bypass to install updates and this made the situation worse after the updates were installed and made the boot slow so maybe repairing these possible missing or damaged system files could fix your issue. So go to command prompt and type this comman line in admin mode : Sfc /scannow You let the repair procedure to finish and see if your problem is solved after that. Thanks for suggestion.

As mentioned, sfc did not help. Have tried out same procedure on another win 7 pc. Same problem there with delays in booting. Both pcs had "Advanced system care ultimate" from i/o bit running (cleaner + AV). So I unticked all entries for i/o bit in MS autoruns, reboot, and bootime is 1 min 40 sec. Installed all prerequisites for ESU patcher. restart Installed ESU patcher (option 1) Search for updates, found and installed 3 updates including november 2020 rollup. Restart, configuring updates, bootime is 8 min. auto restart, configuring updates, bootime 6 min. restart, bootime 5 min 50 sec. Repeating above restart and boot 7 times, all bootime 5 min 50 sec. (Seems it wont come out of this, same procedure everytime. ( a lot of constant drumsticks from the WD hdd) Ran Advanced system care, it implemented auto startup again and suggested deactivate of a number of programs from autostart. among them, "patch wu esu" Selected this for deactivation. Restart, bootime 1.min 40 sec. Restart, bootime 1 min 40 sec. Checked ESU patcher, it was still active/installed. Search for updates, found 1, and installed. Restart, bootime 2 min 10 sec. Restart, bootime 2 min 10 sec. Ran Esu patcher and removed it, also the .net entry. Restart, bootime 1 min 40 sec. Conclusion: I managed to update all, and at last achived normal bootime. But as an old beta-tester for DOS programs some 40 years ago, my gut feeling is that there is something wrong here. Either the Esu-patcher or the WU or both. But then, I am just a shadow of my self these days. Any thougths on the matter would be highly appreciated !! . .
I've never seen such a thing as "patch wu esu" in any of my startup scenarios. What the heck is it? Are you re-patching your System at every BOOT?
Thanks all for comments. I tend to agree that ESU patcher is not to blame. Most user of ESU patcher experience no problems. Why me then ? I have the same problem on TWO pc-s, cant blame special trouble with the pc then. Whats the similarities ? They both use "Advanced system care". But then I had unticked startup of all i/o-bit entires during the test. Both pc-s did not have updates since january 2020 before this november rollup. Could this be a problem for WU ? Seems the update process in both cases gets "stuck" after 3 reboots, "doing the same thing over and over", causing boot-delays. What do you all think ?
i don't know what to think, your case is strange, you seem the only one who experience this slow boot issue so far after ESU updates have been installed but since you noticed that your slow boot is related to ESU patcher, you install the esu patcher once the monthy rollup ESU is available to download from WU, install the ESU updates, reboot then remove the ESU patcher and do it the same way for the next rollup months. But you didn't mention earlier that the update process gets stuck after reboot so does it mean that you turn off the pc during the update then turn it on right after ? if so, yes this could explain why you experienced these slow boot.
did you reboot the machine ? which option did you choose to install when running the bypass ? Run the bypass then post a screen.
Thanks again for reply. Sorry, I explained the "stuck" situation poorly. It is not "stuck" so that i have to reboot, it rather keeps on consuming a lot of minuets during each boot (hdd working really hard) before it finally does finish the boot. Its as if it has to do more work than neccessary, repeating previous work from previous boots. I can understand slow boot for the first 3 boots after update, they will do various configs etc. After 2 or 3 slow boots, that should be enough. I guess I must follow your suggestion for install/remove ESU patcher for eash rollup in the future. Seems a pity though.
