    updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 = updates for Windows Embedded 7 x64

    For that reason of the same updates ,somewhere will be a trick for the updates to be available through Windows 7 Update Search ,as Windows Server 2008 R2 .

    Sorry but I'm a little bit confused, so if anyone can confirm I'm right in the following points :
    1. Assuming your win7 machine has all ESU till January 2023, you have to install v12 Abbodi's script
    2. After that there shall be no updates via windows updates .. only via windows update catalog
    3. to know KB numbers of updates you have 3 options .. include "date" in your search (for example 2023-02 to get latest February updates) @ windows update catalog .. or follow windows 7 hotfix repository thread @ stickies .. or visits MS official update list page
    4. If you didn't install v12 script , then you can download updates from windows update catalog but they won't install
    Am I on the right track ?

    1. 2. 3. correct

    4.
    Bypass v9 & v11 still works (currently) to install Windows updates, but not .NET 4.x updates
    Bypass v12 works for both

    In my case (currently) Windows 7 Pro and BypassESU-v11 with all ESU updates as of January 2023 the only update was: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64, v5.110 (KB890830)

    Only manual download and install from now on, WU itself won't show anything @enesalpa.

    You made it for Home edition by mod of identification data for Pro edition.
    Can you change it to Server 2008 R2?

    I am really delighted! I confirm that the update for embedded Windows works also in full windows! We can still get the security updates until October this year! (After that only PosReady7 will continue to update for 1 more year at least).

    Regarding the IE updates, I remember they stopped one year ago or so. Can/should we still update it from somewhere? Is there a windows catalog that shows the updates each month?

    I am only aware of the main for Windows only...

    Then same question for the .Net updates, I always had issues with installing them, so continued only with security updates...

    Starter/Home editions and ESU supported editions share the same update category: Windows 7
    simple registry change was enough

    Server 2008 R2 has separate update category, which is detected based on NT ProductType

    Embedded 7 also has its own update category, which is detected based on Kernel-ProductInfo licence policy
    which in return is easier to fake, but receiving ESU updates for Embedded 7 itself is not possible without WSUS proxy

    I can't get the new Bypass to install on two PCs I keep getting this error on both:

    Checking . . .

    ==== ERROR ====
    Failed detecting OS SKU.
    Verify that Windows Management Instrumentation service "WinMgmt" is working.

    Press any key to exit.

    Anyone know any solutions? I have checked and WinMgmt service is running. All AV and firewalls are also disabled. Running Win 7 Pro (64-Bit) on both.

    What function is used by native WU agent for determination of current "NT ProductType"?

    Does this command works for you?
    Code:
    wmic OS Get OperatingSystemSKU /value
