Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

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.

 

1. Complete fresh Win7 install
2. Run simplix pack 7
3. Install ESU bypass
4. Run Windows update

 

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.

 

Correctly.
Аs a matter of principle, Install ESU bypass is needed to install only two updates (via WU) - the latest Monthly Rollup and Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework. Other updates from 2011 to 2020 do not require it.

 

Can verify the steps worked. Fresh install on Win 7, install prereq's (first three, then reoot, then last 2, then reboot), then install ESU Bypass, then WU over and over again until it finished. It took proba around 2 hours all together

And I can also confirm that this method DID eliminate whatever update Simplix installs that triggers my disability. So Simplix is not installing the bare minimum updates but must have some optional ones too.

 

Simplix is not the subject of this thread, here you can find all updates it integrates offline:

the middle part of the three.

 

Is kb5011649 safe to install? I did and everything has been quiet since.

EDIT: sorry I saw the earlier message saying it was safe. Disregard.

Another monthly flawless victory for bypass ESU. Thanks for the project!

 

Yes, another painless monthly update process. Thanks once again all who are involved.

My understanding is that the wmc/mce issues caused by last month's updates were fixed in this month's. So, if you are using wmc/mce and did not implement the fix last month, you should be able to safely install this month's updates. Should clarify, this month's update is safe for wmc/mce users whether the fix (registry edit) was applied last month or not.

 

04-2022 (KB5012626, KB5012329) worked flawlessly - thanks!

A question regarding the .NET ESU Bypass:
Every month I use the "BypassESU-v11" to install the .NET 4 ESU Bypass, check and install updates via WU and then I uninstall the .NET 4 ESU Bypass again.

Because on the first page here is written:

Is there a alternative solution that can always be activated without having to worry about any problems or is the ON/OFF method still the recommended one?

Thank you,
Martin

 

Just successfully installed KB5012626 and saw that wuaueng3.dll was updated, hope BypassESU will still work fine next month.

 

This is the current version of Windows Update Agent.



BypassESU-v11 has worked fine for me each "patch Tuesday" with obtaining SMQR and MNF updates.
