    For the first time since Feb 2020 I also had a problem installing an update "KB5003667" through WU. Tried 3 times and failed all 3. Had to download and install separately which worked fine. This happened on all three of my Win 7 laptops though on two machines after the first WU failures I installed manually.

    1. Just for fun, why not try the security only?

    2. Error code 8000FFFF
    There are lots of sites that address this and offer a million solutions. I have no idea.

    3. Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Can you turn it off? But anyway, you said it's always worked in the past, so this might be a waste of time.

    4. "billmcct" also mentioned he had had a problem for the very first time.

    As I've mentioned, in general, most of my machines work fine with the Bypass and WU month after month.

    Every once in awhile, though, something doesn't work, and I have to "scramble". My worst-case scenario, when nothing else works, is the security-only version; it's always worked. I feel confident using it, and it gets me through to the next month.

    Since the very beginning of the Bypass implementation, I've never had an update installation fail two months in a row except on my machine with two graphics cards.

    For now i have successfully installed the security only update. Disabling Microsoft Security Essentials unfortunately did nothing.

    Can you tell me what updates have all come since the last Quality Rollup? Maybe I am really missing something.

    If that update is "KB5003694" then your good to go till July patch Tuesday. I would also try to install "KB5003667" again manually just to see what happens.

    Unfortunately, that didn't work either.

    Yes it was, it's just not linked.
    I have run the version 21.6.10. Unfortunately I still can not install the update.
    I have tried rebooting again, and I have tried WinRepair, but it did not help.

    Can somebody please be kind enough to let me know where can I get Windows 7 then activate it alongside MS Word with something like KMS VL ALL but for Windows 7? Our low spec laptop just became a lagging mess with the Windows 10 update that shows temperature on the taskbar but our other desktop PCs for gaming aren't lag only the laptop. We legit can't use it since it lags so much. Just going to use the laptop for internet, typing and digital art and not update it. Windows 10 has automatic updates even if we delay them, it will eventually update. We don't even use these updates maybe for Windows Defender antivirus that's it.

    I haven't changed anything on my machine but last couple months or so "regular" WU will show updates available but always get an error (this time - code 80248014) when try installing them. I tried a few fixes I found online but still getting error. Previously WU and the Bypass have both been working. As long as the Bypass is still updating properly is it safe to assume I'm getting w/e updates are available?

    Hello all,

    I would like to please you tell me if Win 7 with ESU is as safe as / or safer than Win 10?

    And generally is Win 7 better than Win 10?

    If it is, then is it better for gaming too?

    Hello, I have a small problem regarding the WU ESU patcher. After installing it (along with the ESU suppressor), I was not offered ESU updates through WU. I tried deleting C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution (after stopping wuauserv) multiple times and reinstalling WU patcher once. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes I made, as I am not a native English speaker.
