Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

I would not recommand doing that, you can just remove the content of the SoftwareDistribution folder to free disk space and recover some gigabyte disk space.
before doing that , better to stop WU, remove the content of SoftwareDistribution folder, reboot the machine and start again WU.

To stop and start WU you can use these command lines in admin mode :

 

Yeah, I've been doing that a long time now w/o issue but recently having a recurring (Nvidia) driver issue that AFAIK shouldn't be related yet seems like it occurs after deleting the folder contents so was trying to find another workaround. I def don't want to screw up the Bypass since it IS working!

 

Your Nvidia driver issue should not be related to cleaning SoftwareDistribution folder unless you got and installed the Nvidia driver through WU.
If so, just download your CG driver from manufacturor site and install it and you should be fine.

 

Thanks. Don't want to get this thread too off topic but I did a clean (driver) install from NV website yet still having same issue a few times since so wasn't sure if maybe WU was updating/altering things. Otherwise I'd just keep deleting SD contents (just barely keeping drive from getting too far below 10% free.

 

I just tried to update the ESU-Bypass (V9) on a sysprep backup from 2020-08 that I restored and got the following error:

Code:

Checking Prerequisites . . .

==== ERROR ====
Required updates are missing. You must install:
1) KB4490628
2) KB4474419
3) KB4550738 [April 2020] or later servicing stack update

Press any key to exit.

I checked the packages.txt and the first two KBs are installed. Shouldn't I just have one prereq (KB4550738) shown as missing?

I might add that the live system is running in sysprep mode.

Edit: I guess :E_SSUSHA is a catch-all for different errors. I'll just add the one SSU and see what happens.

BTW, if I install KB4550738 do I still need to keep SSU 4536952 from 2020-01?

The latest SSU ESU is enough so since april SSU is installed, no need to keep SSU from january.

OP mentions that you need to install at least may SSU KB4555449 (May 2020) or later.

Run WU next tuesday (10AM Redmond WA time).

 

Does the ESU-Bypass affect the results of SFC? The reason I ask is that the scan always shows

Code:

C:\>sfc /verifyonly

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found integrity violations. Details are included in

the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

When I check the log, I don't see anything flagged as an error. The system runs fine as far as I can tell.

 

No it should not cause any sfc errors.

 

Yes, finally I hear from a suffering fellow. 2020-11 auto-update is resulting in very slow boot. Not so before installing ESU patcher
and receiving the nov update. Uninstalling esu patcher afterwords does not help. Tried everything under the sun, cant get it back to normal boot time.
