Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

Hi abbodi. Why WU don't found this update:

2020-12 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4592471)

I've install full BypassESU-v10

Thank you in advance

Of course. So then it IS just another push to make everybody use Win10. But Win7 users still hold a market share of about 20% and I doubt that a majority of them even have ESU's installed. As for me, Win10 will never be installed on any of my PC's...

 

I don't know if the actual .NET Bypass works, but I can now install all MSI's that gave me trouble before Thanks

 

abbodi1406, hi.
Installed "Kaspersky" and "Classic Shell" without problems.

 

@abbodi1406
With .NET 4 ESU Bypass v5 all works fine
Much appreciated, thank you!

 

I thought that this might be the issue. I am writing a batch file which will make Windows resolve this issue. Yes, this is causing Windows to boot slowly. The reason for the batch file is to prevent you from making any mistakes.

Thanks to you, I created this update guide which has worked fine each time I've done a clean install of Windows Vista Business SP2 64-bit:
Restore Windows Update for Vista

I just read post #5001 in this thread where Bypass ESU for Server 2008 (and Vista) is mentioned.
Is it necessary for me to use this tool to receive future ESU updates?

 

If I understand you correctly, from this point (December 2020) on in my Vista update guide, I should use Bypass ESU for Server 2008 (and Vista) and:

select
[7] Install .NET 4 ESU Bypass
to get .NET Framework updates for Vista

select
[3] Install WU ESU Patcher
to get regular updates for Server 2008

 

Okay, thanks.

 

I got back into this machine today, same issue, says there are three prerequisites, but they are already installed.
I couldn't find how/where to use the Spoiler feature.
Also, tried to find a way to grab the text out of the Update History but no luck, so this it just the last 8 months or so. Oddly, it shows some recent updates.

Thanks, I saw in the installed updates list at least two of the three were able to be found. I'll let you know if I find success, but it is a remote machine and I need someone on the other end to initiate a session, so may be a while.

 

Thanks for your response !

After many test, many installation/reinstallation of the WUesu, etc etc..Everything is now working fine !
And Bitdefender is making some problems too.. I need to exclude some folder to be sure it's working..

Thanks !

 

Hi snofte,

I had to work this last weekend. I have finished my command file which will resolve your issue. First, I need to test my command file since I can recreate your issues of thousands of files in the PendingRenames folder, simply by running SFC /scannow. While doing so won't generate nearly the same number of files which you are seeing, I already know from recent experience that performing the SFC /scannow command will generate around 8000 files in my computer's PendingRenames folder. Tomorrow, I will perform a backup of my computer's Windows partition. Next, I will deliberately load up my computer's PendingRenames folder by performing a SFC /scannow. Then I will run my script which should force Windows to process all files in the PendingRenames folder. I am extremely confident that it will work. Note that the computer you are working on has 10x my expected number of files which I expect to process in the PendingRenames folder. I anticipate that it may take around an hour to clear out the PendingRenames folder on that computer, depending on its CPU speed.

 

Risk Assessment...

I tried out v10 of the EsuBypass scripts and patches over the weekend on my home W7SP1 system, and I'm happy to report that everything worked perfectly! I was surprised that WU only came up with two updates--a December monthly security rollup and an optional .NET rollup, but since these are supposed to be cumulative, I guess that this is normal and Ok. Thank you VERY MUCH to the developers for creating this! Where can I deposit some thanks in your account?

I did a complete disk backup before I put this bypass software on my PC, to be safe. But, reading that the bypass cannot be removed after you have used it to install any ESU's makes me a little nervous--If MS comes up with a way to break this bypass system, will the result be a dead and unbootable system, or will you just not be able to get any more updates? I could easily live with the latter, but a dead PC is pretty devastating. If this happened a year from now, I would have backup images leading up to that point, but everything from December 2020 on would have the bypass software and updates obtained with it. Would I have to do a complete reinstall of W7 and all application programs, pulling the data files from the backup images? That would be painful and take weeks to do.

Does anyone have any assessment of the risks involved in using this bypass software? I'm not as much worried about legal trouble from MS as I am of ending up with a dead PC someday. Perhaps a basic explanation of how this system works would help.

I'm not criticizing the software or project in any way--I think it is wonderful what has been done. I'm trying to think about the future.

Thank you so much.
