Hi, I'm new here. I have Windows 7 pro updated to 2020-01 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4536952) I installed all the recommended updates as per the first post minus the last one (Updated Windows Update Client) because I previously installed a monthly quality rollup. Then I restarted. I installed the ESU Suppressor + WU ESU Patcher + .NET 4 ESU Bypass using option 1 as administrator. I rebooted again. Windows update offered 3 updates: 2021-10 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5006743) 2022-02 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 (KB5010581) Microsoft Edge Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5001027) Where are all the other servicing stack updates and security updates? I tried to install a Feb 2020 servicing stack update (the next one after my latest) manually downloaded from the catalogue and it said the update wasn't applicable to my computer. Do I need to delete the software distro folder and try again? Won't I loose my update history? Thanks
Ok I think, I understand. I just need the latest servicing stack update and then I can install the rollups and don't need to install all the previous updates. Thanks
Do I need to install anything if I used the simplix update pack? It seems to also detect ESU updates but I don't know if I need to install this as well.
Simplix will bring you up-to-date to a point in time, but if you're gonna run the System from there on, you will need Abodi's ByPASS to get the ESU opdates.
Ok. I was wondering though because on the simplix update page, it says it integrates the ESU update bypass into it. I can also see ESU updates available after searching including Optional Update KB5010798.
All that means is that if you manually install updates, they will install correctly. If you want Windows Update to do it for you, both for rollups as well as .NET updates, you will need Abodi's ESU ByPASS installed.
It doesn't, it only patches for being able to install ESU updates by using the packs, it doesn't patch WU like the ESU bypass by @abbodi1406 does, for WU to offer you the correct updates you need to run the bypass.
Thanks once again to the developer and all who assist in the forum. Another smooth Patch Tuesday. Monthly Quality Rollup .NET 5 update SSU Windows 7 x64 Ultimate w/ ESU/.NET patch v.11
PSA - the March update was the first that "breaks" media center installs for win7 & 8.1 (as it does in many cases on win10/11). Might be of interest to some here since I know one of the reasons people stay on win7 is for wmc/mce. A checkpoint restore returns functionality.
I don't use this personally, but what exactly happens to the application? I tried launching it after installing the March updates and it ran just fine on x64. Does it not play things properly?
You lose your config and have to reconfigure from scratch which is more of a pain now that MS no longer has servers for support information. I'm told that then lose config on every subsequent reboot (have not witnessed this myself).
