    FuzzleSnuz:: Appreciate the complete answer!!

    On another note (for anyone reading this), what might happen if I simply stopped updating my Win 7 Pro from now on...in terms of the likelihood??

    In Microsoft Update Catalogue you could type this, for exemple : Windows Embedded 7 x64 Internet Explorer

    The same for .Net Framework.
    Just type : Windows Embedded 7 x64 .Net Framework 4.7.2
    or :
    Windows Embedded 7 x64 .Net Framework 4.8

    Is there perhaps also the possibility that you don't have to open the Run_wsus.cmd after every restart

    I would use a simpler path to run the program from, like C:\BypassESU
    It is mentioned in the readme file to use a simple path...

    Thanks for the suggestion @hanzzon2, but bypass install is likely working anyhow :
    . add_wsus-and-reset_datastore.cmd works well : update history is erased.
    . Windows update works e.g. for Windows Defender update, but does not show the 2 other updates.

    Nevertheless, I tried your suggestion for both BypassESU-v12 and WSUS Proxy for Windows 7, hence uninstall and reinstall from C:.
    Unfortunately, no change. Thanks anyhow for the tip, cheers, Bill

    You should Run_wsus.cmd + Windows Update first, before "Check online for updates from Windows Update"

    your log look very normal and as expected

    Thanks for the suggestion @abbodi1406, that's what I did in my first attempt.
    I did the exercise again with Run_wsus-Both.cmd in administrator mode, then Windows Update first, then "Check online for updates from Windows Update" : no luck :-(.
    Thanks anyhow for the tip, cheers, Bill

    How do I know if KB5023820 (the out of band update NetFrame 4.7.2 / 2023-02-17) is an optional update ??
    If so, I won't download and install it.
    Who can advise me ?

    For less confusion
    because it: 1) Client 2) it exist for x64 and x86 unlike Server

    Because it's not published via Windows Update
    only you can download and install if you want

    For everyone lost in the details , here is what I did in a nutshell :
    1. I was using @abbodi1406 script v9 till 2023-01 as you had the choice to either use v9 or v11
    2. All my windows 7 installations were updated up to 2023-01
    3. from 2023-02 going forward, there shall be no more updates showing in windows update
    4. Now you have to install v12 script to be able to install new .net framework updates
    5. you have 3 ways to obtain updates now, windows update catalog, or simplix tool by @Enthousiast , or uses WSUS proxy
    6. If you use windows update catalog, there is no new Windows 7 updates, instead there will be updates for windows 7 embedded which are 100% compatible with Windows 7
    7. Simplix tool is already using latest Abbodi script & search for everything in the right direction for you, it literally let you "Sit back & relax" while it does everything for you automatically
    8. if you use WSUS proxy, things goes as follows : first read readme, it will tell you to install "Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable (x64)" & links to that are included & some other updates that are prerequisites .. then you set windows update to never check for updates .. then run "Add_wsus-and-Reset_DataStore" which will reset windows update database .. after it finishes .. you run "Run_wsus" & give it network access
    9. Now you check for updates from the link on the left in windows update screen (the one under "Control panel home" link)
    10. initial scan will be slow & you will see activity in the black screen of "Run_wsus"
    11. Sometimes first scan doesn't work so repeat it one more time
    12. if things go on in the right direction you should get windows embedded updates showing which will be 2, one rollup for windows & one for .net framework
    13. if updates older than 2023-02 show just hide them, you shouldn't install updates using WSUS proxy before 2023-02
    14. after you install February updates you have 2 options afterwards .. either you run "Run_wsus" every time you open windows update & click the link on the left hand-side .. or don't run "Run_wsus" & use the link below "managed by you system administrator"
    Hope this is helpful for every one
    & Huge thanks for @abbodi1406 , @Enthousiast , @whatever127 & @mspaintmsi
