FuzzleSnuz,that's a great breakdown and explanation of the timescales of Microsoft's update changes...very clear and precise..even I could understand it. Many thanks for this.
They are not "EMBEDDED Updates", they are NT 6.1 updates just like all previous updates they don't magically transform your Windows 7 edition to Embedded if you intend to upgrade to Windows 10, why do you care about updates at all? KB4490628 + KB4474419 + KB3138612 are enough to get you there and using ESU updates (official or bypass) does not matter
Sorry, I will pay attention to it later. And by the way, that is wrong link, it is 110 in fact. The correct 109.0.5414.129 link can be find in here.
I have a question of understanding: Are the Windows Embedded Standard 7 updates compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate? Has this been tested? If I understand correctly, is the "WSUS Proxy for Windows 7" a way to continue receiving updates? Because I had read a few posts, does Microsoft Essential Security still work? I currently receive updates daily with it. I thanked you already, maybe someone can enlighten me. (p.s. thanks for the help and the forum over the years)
stop asking this question .. embedded update same as normal windows 7 update embedded are only price change !
Yes they are compatible and install fine. I have them installed on 2 W7 Ultimate machines and on 1 Pro. No issues.
I did not know that. Thank you for your answer. Do you know anything about MES? It seems that I am no longer running it? Could that be? That sounds good!
WSUS Proxy is to receive the updates online, instead of installing manually from the MU Catalog. And yes MSE still works.
I had also understood that, I was just not quite sure whether these updates are also compatible for Windows 7 Ultimate and Pro (and with MES).
Read: NB: MSE has absolutely nothing to do with the Windows monthly rollup updates. You are only receiving definition updates for MSE through Windows Update because you have enrolled in Microsoft Update. Microsoft Update uses the Windows Update client to provide updates for other Microsoft products, such as MSE, Visual Studio, etc. Do not confuse the two. This is a strange thing to ask. You already know that you are receiving definition updates daily through it, so there is no question that the definitions are out of date. If you open MSE, you will see a bright green check mark and many other positive indications that indicate that MSE is working without issue. These are the same indicators that MSE is working without issue which have been present and unchanged in the application for the last 10+ years. And if this is still not good enough for you, you can very easily download a fake test "virus" from the large number of security organizations that provide these test files for free, and watch as MSE dutifully identifies it as a virus and locks it away in the quarantine. Questions and answers are one of the pillars of forums, but laziness is not. Please put some effort into finding the answer yourself, especially before asking superfluous questions with answers that can easily be found in just a few minutes. This thread is about Windows 7 ESU and it so frequently gets bogged down by off-topic things like this... making it harder for the rest of us to actually stay up-to-date on the ESU-related matters.
This answer was really unnecessary. I am referring to a statement here in the forum where MSE no longer works (possibly due to the updates). There is no reason to directly denigrate my question. Post: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-353#post-1777714
