    None of system files are changed, only a copy of the file is patched + some registry modifications
    uninstallation will remove the patched files and restore registry

    @AutumnBreeze
    yes
    since 2016-10, Windows 7 only gets Monthly Rollup + .NET Rollup

    Got it. Fine.
    Another question: should I start by installing Bypass v9 or can I start with v11?

    Start with v12 if you need .NET 4.x updates
    each new version override previous, no need to uninstall

    When I go to the local WSUS instance IP address stated when running Run_wsus.cmd, I get this:
    To connect to this service you need to enter the following address to the WSUS configuration in the group policy:

    (cannot post IP)

    Please note that the ? has to be appended at the end of the URL because of limitations this implementation of WSUS server.

    How do I do this?

    I need your explanations. Why, after applying the actions I described above, I have lost the hidden updates: regional languages, video and audio drivers, Logitech utilities? I get it all back, I'm specifically interested in Logitech and Realtek drivers.

    First, I want to say what a great job was done by abbodi1406 and anyone else working on this project. Thank you!

    My system is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I only show .Net 4.8 installed.
    Before installing standalone WU ESU Patcher, I had used BypassESU v12 to manually install all updates through March from the catalog.
    This included kb5022509 and kb5023823 for .Net 4.8.
    Once I had WU ESU Patcher configured and searched for updates it found kb5022731, but actually installed kb5022523 which is for .Net 3.5.1.
    I assume this is because .Net 3.5.1 is part of Windows 7 "out of the box" configuration.
    I was not sure I needed to install it, so this was another benefit of WU ESU Patcher!

    I want to add that I use Bitdefender and no matter what exceptions I added or what I turned off, it kept interfering with execution of WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd.
    I had to uninstall Bitdefender to properly run WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd, then after installing kb5022523 I reinstalled Bitdefender.

    When Bitdefender messed up the execution of WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd, it got things messed up with the wuauserv service where it would not start.
    I had to use regedit on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost, edit netsvcs to add wuauserv back to the list of services.

    I recommend anyone else using Bitdefender to uninstall before running WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd.

    If whitelisting does not work with bitdefender did you try restarting with bitdefender turned off? I turn off my Kaspersky AV & Malwarebytes ransomware protection & restart with just WinDefender working. Win7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire Laptop. Don't forget to turn them back on & restart when done. Norton use to really mess systems up because it dug so deep inside the system internals it could not be removed normally.

    Maybe we should ask for a recommended list of files to exclude from antivirus software and have that included in the first post.
    From what I found if you select to patch using Server 2008 R2 option:
    C:\Windows\WuEsu
    C:\Windows\System32\sle.dll
    C:\Windows\System32\kerneles.dll

    If you are patching as Windows Embedded you need to exclude these additional files:
    C:\Windows\System32\wbem\sppwmi.dll
    C:\Windows\System32\wbem\slw.dll

    And you also should exclude the folder where you extracted the downloaded ZIP file.
    Perhaps wuaueng3.dll in System32 should be excluded too.

    Lost it where? WU?

    WU_ESU_Patcher is to allow installing updates after 2023-01
    you are supposed to install prior updates and whatever WU drivers offer normally before applying the standalone patch

    Did you delete SoftwareDistribution folder or the database inside?

    Hello,
    I"m trying to install Bypass ESU v12 but when I right click on the file I don't get the option to open as administrator.
    Can anyone help me with this.
    Thanks.

    I uninstalled Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher and the hidden updates are available again.

    No, apparently the patcher starts to interpret Windows 7 as Embedded and hides hidden updates not intended for its revision.

    I am in principle against hiding updates and @abbodi1406 knows about my views about this matter from a long time ago. :)
    I suppose it is a matter of choice, I only like to keep things simple and avoid time consuming trouble like this one which you have just encountered.
