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?
abbodi1406 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
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.
I am trying to install Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher but i receive an error (Patch wuaueng.dll error)! Any help?
N But when I am running windows update I received an error (Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.)!!!! Any help!!!
