    That's normal, SSU cannot be uninstalled (which means it's correctly installed)

    Update History failure is not really relevant

    I did it in the usual order: first

    2021-07 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5004289)
    2021-07 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB5004229)

    then reboot and then

    2021-07 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5004378)

    Everything ok as always. Thanks!

    PS: Interestingly, minutes after the las one was installed, two very old (year 2014) updates appeared:

    KB2631813 and KB2640148

    More interestingly, I had installed them back in the day, so I haven't installed them again.

    Yes. I did this, first (manually) installed SSU KB5004378, then Rollup KB5004289 (via WU) > installed (with two reboots).

    someone had problems with boot win7 after installing kb5004289? Mine installs fine, wants reboot so i am doing it and win7 boots only in repair menu(for fix that i need revertpendingactions via dism)... Using bypass esu v11 and any sfc or surt saying no errors in sys files, I guess ms broke something with gpt/uefi boot in that update but this is mine guess

    Curious, I guess I'm the only one having problems with KB5004229 (2021-07 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64)..? It's behaving the same as before the .NET Bypass was implemented (just fails to install)...

    EDIT : Un/reinstall Bypass seemed to work

    On one of my Win7 PCs, the .NET Update (KB5004229) is only being offered as an Optional, 'Recommended' update. It was not offered before the Patch Tuesday update or the SSU update (which installed itself yesterday). (The other one installed it before the SSU update, normally/without issues.) Has anybody else witnessed this behavior?

    On your main Windows Update page you should go to the "Change Settings" option. There you should find a CheckBox labeled "Give me recommended updates the same way I receive Important updates"... this option should be CHECKED. Is it...??

    @abbodi1406 I'm sure that you may be aware that the ESU program for POSReady 7 starts this October. And I am wondering if the current ESU Bypass can work on POSReady 7? (as I have a few machines on it). ... I am also wondering if the POSReady 7 ESUs could be used on regular Windows 7, if so this would effectively give regular Windows 7 two extra years of ESUs (nearly 5 yrs in total), since the POSReady 7 ESU program won't end until October 2024.

    ^^Microsoft where delivering Windows 10 as a "recommended update" so that was a very good reason to turn it off a few years ago.
    I never dared turn it back on again, MS are just bastards, probably they will sneak Edge or something else in that way too, if they haven't already!

    Mostly like Embedded Standard 7, all will work except WU ESU Patcher

    till January 2023, ESU updates are the same for all
    then they will probably restrict them for Embedded via update.mum

    Do you think you can "unrestrict" them to give an extra one & three quarter yrs of ESUs to regular Win 7? ... Also, I'm still not clear if The ESU Bypass will work on POSReady 7.

    So I'll know if the ESU Bypass is working if KB5004229 and KB5004289 successfully install, right? Just wanna make sure I set it up correctly.

    Thanks for the hard work on this btw :)

    lol yes, Edge was pushed as an update last year :p

    Thankfully, it can be uninstalled (as a program) through the normal way very easily.
