    Just wondering if anyone's mentioned 0patch.com yet? 2 yr more patches including Edge browser. Price seems reasonable.

    "One more try, none of those updates are ESU restricted nor related.

    They are not even considered updates."
    Agreed. I greatly appreciate all of your & the team's ESU efforts. Many here are expressing worries of MU for Win7 being completely shut down. My post was to demonstrate MU is still working & exactly how, for now. As for ESU activity I figure Feb/Mar 2023 will be more informative. For now, MU still works, even if for nothing else beyond security signature updates.

    Thanks again & Go with God.

    Ty. But just wondering what all the fuss is about. For a decent price 7 is covered for 2 more years. Im using it and works fine. After that we are on our own. If you don’t wanna pay then use 10.

    This thread should close with 0patch.com

    Good lord, what drugs are you on? Absolutely not. This thread is about bypassing the licensing requirements for obtaining ESU updates, as well as associated relevant topics, including availability of Year 4 and onwards of ESU and stopgaps like 0patch. Put up some ironclad evidence that not a single person on this planet see value in those topics before you suggest that this thread should be killed. You do not get to extinguish that information, shut down the discussion of that topic, and censor future research of that topic just because you personally would rather use 0patch.

    Too many people on forums do not understand what a forum is... Forum threads do not get closed because a random John Doe comes in and tells everyone "party's over, go home, I think your topic is stupid". Forum threads are only closed when not a single person on the planet is left who is participating in the discussion. There are thousands of people who check this thread regularly. The world doesn't revolve around you.

    I tried that last yr & it did not work at all on POS7. But it seems that I may not have had all the info to make it work.

    Hopefully some way will be found to make use of POSReady7 updates but if not with 0patch how exactly does that work? I read it updates in memory only so does that mean every time you shut down the computer and reboot it has to re-download the patches?

    So what I gather it's doing is downloading a library, which then injects their updates into running processes.

    It also indicates that Win 7 will be updated till 2025 and possibly to 2030 if there is enough demand.
    At $26.75 US a year it's reasonable.

    For a scam company without an summonable address and own running web-page; have fun with 0Control about your own computer(Then NSA-Botnet-Computer-Unit).

    A completely unexpected WU update (KB2952664) just appeared on my PC (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) without warning, literally saying: "Compatibility update to keep Windows up to date on Windows 7"

    Introduction:
    This update performs diagnostics on Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. The diagnostics assess the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem and help Microsoft to ensure application and device compatibility for all Windows updates. There is no GWX or update functionality included in this update.

    Should I install it or not? Is it a simple Telemetry update? Can someone explain to me what it is and why they take it out today, February 7?
    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    I have Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit up to date to January 2023, so I was surprised yesterday to see a Windows Update alert for new updates.
    When I checked, I discovered 3 of them listed as important updates and dated between 2014 and 2018.
    I already knew the drill and immediately hid them.
