    Thanks, I did not think to uninstall the bypass thing.
    I ran into issues but I am working on it.

    For the first time since I started to use the Bypass in February 2020 for installing Windows 7 ESU updates I had trouble installing this month’s .NET 4.8 update(KB5022509). Every time I tried I got error 1603 (0x643) when using either the dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_u or using BypassESU-v12_u. This happened on 4 of my systems. After some debugging I discovered that the 0patch agent was to blame. I had installed 0patch in July 2022 in case I had to use their patches starting February 2023. I never had any problem with 0patch before. After uninstalling 0patch KB5022509 installed fine. I used the dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_u and have not tried BypassESU-v12_u. I would assume the issue of not being able to install the .NET 4.8 update using the Bypass is also solved, because it threw the same error.

    Note: 0patch has to be uninstalled entirely. Stopping the service, ending the 0patchservice process or simply disabling the 0patch agent does not solve the problem, only uninstalling 0patch does.

    Long live Windows 7! :)
    Thank you abbodi and all others involved!

    WU ESU Patcher works as described
    So far, I have not installed February updates (but only Jan 2023) so it was a "clean scenario".
    I've tested version for Windows Server + Embedded and then Windows Embedded only.
    For Server version I got some old updates specific for Server edition only so I guess they should be ignored (and hidden).
    For Embedded I got what was expected for normal version of Windows 7 and successfully installed them.

    On a side note, after defragmenting the database file the file has actually become larger so I restored the previous version. :)

    Hey everyone, and thanks a lot to all contributors for their great work allowing us to keep using Windows 7 safely :)
    Just a short message to share with you the following, which puzzles me: I tried to install the 2023-02 Security Monthly Quality Rollup (KB5022872) on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate with (IIRC) BypassESU v11 installed, and to my great surprise, it was successful, without any warning or error message.
    According to https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-356#post-1778169, I would have expected BypassESU v12 to be required?
    The only other action I did prior to installing KB5022872 was to install KB5016892, which also was successful -- I think this package is only needed for Server 2008 R2, so I would have expected the install to fail, but that wasn't the case.
    Does anyone understand what could explain this behavior please? Does it mean that all future Security Monthly Quality Rollups for Server 2008 R2 could also be installed this easily?
    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: looking at BypassESU change history, if I understand well, this could be because since v8, ESU eligibility check for OS updates (and .NET 3.5.1) suppression is done in the same way; only ESU validation for .NET 4 updates bypass has changed between v8 and v12?

    Correct
    v12 contain new version of the suppression, but all 4 versions works for OS updates

    Hello everyone
    A question I have with the BypassES v9
    Do I need it disabled to enable BypassESU v12_u
    Or enable BypassESU v12_u over BypassESU v9
    Good day

    I just installed v12 over v9. It detects the older version and replaces it.

    Huge thanks to all involved with making this highly successful Keep Win7 Alive project going for years & the foreseeable future. I spent several days going through the pages of this & the proxy threads. Studying, deleting, & simplifying the various instructions for my own unique use on my Win7 Home Premium Acer Aspire laptop. Yesterday & today I incorporated the proxy project & it went smoothly & successfully. Completely updated for Jan & Feb 2023.

    I will continue to study & simplify for my situation & use V12 from page 1 & the WU ESU Patcher described so completely on page 358. Not only a complete working project but with options for various systems wrapped around the 6.1 OS core on a timeline that could possibly give us 3 plus years of continued use.

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, one & all. :eek: :rolleyes: :D

    Hello everyone thanks to you smart people for this great project
    This is my first post I hope I am posting in the right place

    Regardless of /if the reply, KEEP up the good work!

    I came to know this post to late I am an old fool that understand nothing about computers I wasted a lot of time on and off reading posts and pages especially when you have to re-sing in on every page/ post you open and all making no sense to me
    I had hoped to get at list 1 update before January 2023 but I could not understand how to
    I had hoped to succeed in the last 3 /4 months but steal disoriented no making sense of and reading that you continue to get updates

    So MY question; I am asking if there is somewhere this program’s is compiled together for someone that knows nothing can use it at list once to update
    I just received a new HDD to install new windows 7 on it and hopped for some updates I am using “Windows 7 x64 Ultimate”
    I had upgraded one windows 7 HDD to windows 10 but can barely know how to turn it on/ off not wanting to use it



    The reason: ? (Unrelated to this post)
    I have a few old HDD most windows 7 “20+” when windows / programs crashed unable to boot up I replaced the HDD with new install;
    About 2 years back reading on internet I installed windows 7 GPT on the new HDD, I was connecting HDD with MBR systems to it and coping data from them, I realized too late the reason Way? they wore all turning bed some offline some ROW not able to read even a new 4 TB Backup disk full with several backups does not show up don’t know what to do;

    I need the data on them and I am trying to resolve this problem cannot afford data recovery I am to install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate MBR on a new 4TB HDD maybe 2/3 partition? and tray to fix all the HDD I had hoped to at list update it once
    Thanks a lot to all of your contributors for this great work; Don’t stop.

    Hi guys need help and clarification on BypassESU-v12 installation from abbodi1406. In general, I installed it with all the components run and he did not find any updates. Tell me if I need to remove previous versions of BypassESU before installing this one and it generally for March 2023 actual or not?

    And the second question. Can you explain step by step how to install WSUS Proxy for Windows 7 if BypassESU-v12 is not working anymore? I'm a newbie and I'm having a hard time figuring this out.

    BypassESU allow to install all updates, but it doesn't offer updated beyond 2023-01

    use standalone WU ESU Patcher instead
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1779528/
    run the script, press 1 for option [1], restart system, then run Windows Update
