Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

@abbodi1406
WUFUC, Nitro Pro 8, Araxis Merge 2014 and XML Notepad can't be installed; Firefox 78.6.0esr.msi works fine.
After uninstalling .NET bypass (option 6) all works fine.

 

I install the version 10 and all seems ok, but since few months, Windows Update doesn't find the updates anymore...
From what is that coming ?
I installed the Bypass since the version 5 or 6, and all was working fine (WinUpdate etc.. )

 

Please show the "update history" and "installed updates" windows and what does the bypass show when you run ESU Bypass v10 "LiveOS-Setup.cmd"?

Did you check the Troubleshooter Q&A?

 

Maybe a bit off-topic but if not here then where?

MS still allows Win7 users to "upgrade" to Win10 for free. On the other hand it looks like they still employ dozens or hundreds of people whose sole job purpose it is to make it more difficult for Win7 users to use the ESU's for free. Is it about the money (income from ESU payers) or is it just another attempt to force everybody to use Win10? Any thoughts or knowledge on that?

PS: That actually reminds me of the days when game developers used way too much human and budget ressources to implement copy protections which only lasted about 1 day to 1 week, instead of using the ressources to release a perfectly working product without bugs...

 

Officially only businesses will be eligible for ESU licenses, there are some areas in the world where the licenses will be sold to anyone.

Win 10 makes money from the profiling when using the store apps but probably most money is made in the cloud (online services).

Officially HWID's generated after the 1 year free offer are not considered 100% legit (who cares, msft doesn't).

 

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.

 

abbodi1406:

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.
