False positive. Virus scanners like to tag KMS tools as virus, probably on request of Microsoft. While that will not impress the nerd folks, it likely scares the casual users away. This principle is called FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt).
True, during XP2ESD development I have added latest KMS that works under XP with Office 2010. And then Eset / AVG / Comodo deleted my files. So I tried some things and I ended with custom files resigning with Trusted Certificates Authority Will se how long they will stay non-flagged
we'll see if those ESU licenses and keys support will be included/retained in next month's rollups & updates come August 9 (next patch Tuesday)
I am patiently waiting until February 2023 to see if ESU updates for Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit will come to an end or if they will continue for another 3 years.
Added components to Rollup/Cumulative updates don't get removed in newer versions they are not obligated to use the added ESU licenses ESU KMS licenses were added in late 2020, but they are never used, so far
Actually, I don't be surprised that Microsoft extends update support for Windows 7 for another 3 years. We must remember that there are thousands of large companies, banks and corporations that are still using tens of thousands of computers with Windows 7 operating system (including thousands of ATMs around the world), and that changing the O.S. would cost them billions of dollars (euros, yen, pounds) and millions of mishaps of interruptions, loss of time, incompatibilities with the software they use, etc. I imagine that it has been a kind of more or less covert imposition by large corporations on Microsoft to extend the validity period of Windows 7 (especially for the 64-bit Pro, Ultimate and Enterprise versions) for another 3 years. "Mr MONEY is a powerful Gentleman". Microsoft continues to make money on ESU for a long time and large companies continue to safely save millions of dollars (Euros, Yen, Pounds) with the added 3 years.
win7 chipset support is still a pita workaround, no chromium support after Jan 15 2023 means no more steam gaming on win7 + new games only support win10 anyway. I'm sure there are other reasons to stay on win7 after jan 2023 tho. I'll be movin on I think unless I get severe separation anxiety giving up win7 MCE (on win media center since 2004 I think it's time!)
This summer I rebuilt 3 of my old Win7 boxes into Ryzens. Sadly I could slowly feel myself letting go of Win7 this yr. LTSC 2021 is great and it is the "real 10 pro" and not the disgraceful "10 so called pro" that MicroSloth wants you to use, that will never come near any of my PCs. And something else that suits me is, I run a 3rd party "port" of the Classic Theme on LTSC, so I don't have to look at the disgraceful "no theme" that Windows has had since 2012.
I may have missed the PSA related to media center installs but kb5015861 july monthly rollup just deleted my Win7 MCE EPG123/ channel lineup listings. restored to the point just after SSU update and before security rollup now it works again. TIA
wrong OS. similar issue but not the same but thanks! been on ol' TGB since it started, ended, then resurrected
The same fix works with Windows 7, you just replace the Windows 7 ehtrace.dll file with the pre-update version following the instructions on the Green Button site.
I'm trying to get this running on my Windows 7 Ultimate, and I fail at the Servicing Stack Update stage - KB4536952, KB5006749... all those say "not qualified" (i.e. "nicht geeignet" on my german windows). The July-roll-up is found but fails to install. On my laptop with Windows 7 Pro, it worked fine.
@abbodi1406 actually, I have that installed. This explains why I cannot install any of the older ones. It finds ESU update KB5015861 and tries to install, but fails at "9%" (during reboot) with code 80070490. Non-ESU updates (security essentials, office...) install just fine.
Windows 7 ESU will end in 2023! i hope they extend for another 3 years Google Chrome will end support for windows 7 in 2023 (that mean also others browser who use chromium engine like Brave,Opera,Ungoogled Chromium,Microsoft Edge,Vivaldi) Microsoft change their cycle with 3 years as a service that mean in the year 2024 will be windows 12 (windows 7 was released in 3 years after windows vista) Windows 10 will end support in 2025(there are rumous that will be ESU for windows 10 ) Windows 11 final release will be in 2025 (there are rumours that some updates will break your system if you have a old cpu 7th gen 8th gen or even older for people who bypass windows 11 tpm only with windows 11 final build ) Windows 12 will be released in 2024 (they release because they know that windows 11 final release build will fail even know people complain about windows 11 even now ) is windows 11 another windows 8 drama? i am still use Windows 7 ultimate ESU x64 in 2022 i will wait to see what will happen in 2023 with windows 7
