Thanks a ton. I was unaware of this thread. It does make sense that it was created & exists here though. I am leaning towards some of the FF forks like Pale Moon. I am not a big fan of Google or chromium/chrome browsers. Very hard to remove the spyware out of them once it is buried deep inside millions of lines of code. ;>)
I am fan of Firefox too. Firefox v115.1 ESR (mentioned on my list) still works reliably on Windows 7 and SlimFirefox makes it even cleaner. Try it. You will not regret.
Ugh, I'm so tired of the obsessive paranoia around updating browsers... In terms of security, have a decent AV installed and properly configured, load your browser with extensions that block trackers and cookies (like Ghostery, as a mere example) and you're good to go as long as you don't purposely visit shady or poorly coded sites. As for firefox, after v56, there were so many flaws and lost features that I went back to ESR 52.9, and it works just fine for 90% of sites out there! Unless you visit RICH websites whose design is more concerned with aesthetics and visual appeal than real functionality, (like Walmart, Offerup, poshmark, Public, and Twitter, to name a few) there's no point in updating your browser! Of course, I use IceDragon and Waterfox as companions for more complex sites or larger workloads to minimize the risk of a total crash.

Great job!
I had been updating my 3 win7 machines since 2020 thanks to the fine work of abbodi1406. After 1/23 I assumed the party was over and there would be no more updates. Today I decided to come back here and see if there had been any developments. I'm really glad I did! It took a while to go through the thread and figure it all out, but I was able to update all of my machines today. This is great! Thanks again abbodi1406!
I see that WU ESU Patcher for Windows 7 Client it allow to receive updates beyond 2023-01. I am little confused, from where are these updates? Are updates officially from Microsoft, and how is that possible after 2023-01? Thanks!
Hi, I downloaded and executed BypassESU v12 on my live system and it worked fine. Now I want to integrate it into my WIM image (Windows 7 DELL OEM with four indexes: 1 HOMEBASIC, 2 HOMEPREMIUM, 3 PROFESSIONAL, 4 ULTIMATE). Running Wim-Integration.cmd succeeds but afterwards dism throws an error when trying to add a package: An error occurred applying the Unattend.xml file from the .msu package. For more information, review the log file. Error: 0x80073712 Fehler: 14098 Der Komponentenspeicher wurde beschädigt. (Engl.: The component store has been corrupted) This is no matter if I apply the patch to the mounted image or to the install.wim file directly. Did anybody else get this error and did you find a way to work around it? How?
Thank you, abbodi1406. My mistake--I downloaded the patch from another site which never updated the links. Checking the first post in this thread, I overlooked the "_u" part, thinking I already got the latest version. I can confirm the latest version no longer has the reported issue. Thanks again.
Hello. I downloaded Bypass Esu and also the standalone patcher as I am using Windows 7 POSReady. The .NET Esu patches install fine but I keep getting an issue with KB5029296 where it will seem to install but at the last minute it will say updates filed, reverting changes. I used W7ESI as well to install it standalone and it does the exact same thing. I am unsure what to do. Previous updates installed fine (with some hiccups) but this one just refuses to install. The error code I get when looking at windows updates is this one: Error details: Code 80004005 I also checked CBS log. Some errors which stand out are Failed to get session package state for package Failed to internally open package. [HRESULT = 0x800f0805 - CBS_E_INVALID_PACKAGE] 2023-08-14 13:09:31, Error [0x018007] CSI 00000062 (F) Failed execution of queue item Installer: Generic Command ({81a34a10-4256-436a-89d6-794b97ca407c}) with HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(14109).
