Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

Hello Windows 7 friends,

what are the experiences or the current status with the bypass on Home Premium?
Sure, it's not supported by Microsoft, but does it work fine?
Or should I rather play it safe and perform a Anytime Upgrade to Professional?

Thanks and greetings,
Martin

 

she works fine

 

They shouldn't just ESU Windows 10 but extend for it everyone, at least for a few years. Millions are not going to qualify for Windows 11 or 12. European countries may try to force Microsoft to do that based on ant-trust laws but most of their money comes from US customers so we can't expect much. The only other option is LTSC if you can get your hands on it.

As always, ultimately, with the Bypass, everything got installed on all my machines. My repeated thanks to the team.

Question: Do we need KB5016618: Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer: August 9, 2022?

Thanks.

 

Why can not install KB5016676?
Symptom: After installing this update and restarting, receive the error, "Failure to configure Windows updates. Reverting Changes. Do not turn off your computer", and the update show as Failed in Update History.
Microsoft said, "This is expected in the following circumstance: If you do not have an ESU MAK add-on key installed and activated."
But I have already had Bypass ESU V9 installed.

 

why are you using Bypass ESU V9?
latest is Bypass ESU V11
try the V11 version

 

They both should be same, only .NET bypass is different.

Code:

Note:
both v9 and v11 serve the same purpose and functions, they only differ in the .NET 4 Bypass type
you are free to use either of them.

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks a lot!
When I check CBS.log, access is denied.
What can I do?

 

Open it in Notepad++ for example. Or copy that file to another location and then open it.

You are much appreciated!
"...copy that file to another location and then open it." That is great!
But how to find the causes of failing to install KB5016676 in CBS.log？

 

Thanks for your help!

Four errors have been found in CBS.log:
2022-08-10 18:12:23, Error CBS Doqe: Failed uninstalling driver updates [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]
2022-08-10 18:12:23, Error CBS Shtd: Failed while processing non-critical driver operations queue. [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]

2022-08-10 18:12:58, Error CBS Startup: Failed while processing non-critical driver operations queue. [HRESULT = 0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND]

What are the causes?

 

I finally had to give up any hope to find the causes of failing to install KB5016676 in CBS.log.
It is the same as finding a needle in the ocean pacific.
