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).
Hi I am knew. Most of my security updates don´t install.I also tried to install them manually. KB5011552, KB5008867, KB5008867 etc Code 80004002 What does the Wim-Integration do? When I want to start it it says enter target path and that it´s not mounted and mounted directory offline image drive letter. Perhaps I am missing something? What do I have to do please? Do I probably have to download a win 7 iso first in addition to my installed win 7?
Offline integration of the ESU Bypass into install.wim. You need to properly install the ESU Bypass on your live windows.
LiveOS-Setup was installed. But what is a live windows? Do I have to download a ISO first to get the install.wim.
An already installed and running windows. Not for when you already have a running windows. Can you run it again and show us the content of the cmd window or a good screenshot?
I have to leave now but I ll come back later. WU is able to find updates but cant finish the konfiguration process afterwards. So I am back again. Perhaps some nice dude could help me further.
Thank you @Prsa01 and @NewEraCracker for reporting this. It helped me a lot after trying to find a solution for hours myself.
Today I had 4 updates ready to install: 1. 2022-03 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 (KB5011552) 2. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.98 (KB890830) 3. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.99 (KB890830) 4. The .NEt update for February was also listed. After I installed 1, 2 and 3, it still showed that 3 needed to be installed. After I installed 3 again, the .NET update was no longer available and a new update was on the list: 2022-03 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x64- based Systems (KB5011649) It was published on 3/8/2022 Here is the description of the update: Spoiler Summary This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates.

I searched this thread and this update has not been discussed at all so I thought I would bring it up. I am going to hold off on installing it. I'm also curious what happened to the .NET update. Maybe this is nothing and it is harmless but I'd like to know what people think.
Thanks for the reply. Of course, you are correct. I installed KB5011649 and then the .NET update (KB5010581) reappeared and installed without issue. Thanks again
I am doing a new fresh Win7 install, on new hardware. What is the correct order of operations to get it all updated? Is it 1. Complete fresh Win7 install 2. Install the 5 prereqs in the first post of this thread (does the order matter?) 3. Install ESU Bypass 4. Run Windows update until I am fully updated Or is it 1. Complete fresh Win7 install 2. Run Windows Update until it gets as updated as it can 3. Install ESU bypass 4. Run Windows update until I am fully updated Or another process? I cannot use Simplix so I need to do this manually. My goal is to do the minimal updates I need for security only, I don't want any new windows "features"
Installation order "Recommended Updates": kb3138612 + kb4490628 + kb4474419-v3 > reboot > Latest SSU + kb4575903 > reboot. Everything, you can install Install ESU bypass. When:"Run Windows update..."? - at your own discretion. "I cannot use Simplix so I need to do this manually..." Can. Turn off the internet. Do an update integration. Install Windows 7.
I cannot use Simplix as it installs some optional update that does something to the Windows display system that triggers a visual disability I suffer from. On other Windows 7 PC's that I update via WU, this does not happen. So using Simplix is not an option as it leaves me with a PC I cannot use What is meant by "When:"Run Windows update..."? - at your own discretion"? It sound like you are saying install the 5 pre req's from the first post in that order, rebooting as noted, then install ESU Bypass, and then run Windows Update. Is that correct? Appreciate the help
I believe the best option is the top one that way you will be offered any ESU updates the first time you run Windows Update. Just my opinion.
This tutorial is still accurate i believe: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pdates-eligibility.80606/page-70#post-1578167 The updates overview needs to be updated, the tutorial is still good.
