    So, if we're supposed to go according to the first message ("* The bypass will only allow to install the ESU updates, it will not permit to get the updates themselves via Windows Update."), then why are there members checking for updates in Windows Update after having successfully installed the bypass & test update?

    Edit: Or, is it that the updates that those members were referring to were the final, pre-ESU updates Microsoft sent out for the final Patch Tuesday (last week, on Tuesday, the 14th) for Windows 7?

    Correct. Read first message. Bypass try different method for install.
    With this approach, it’s easier to close the topic and leave users to their own devices.
    It would be normal to put questions after discussion into a separate topic, but I'm not sure that the forum allows you to transfer single messages in groups while preserving the message properties. Plus, we will need a moderator curator to post such messages.

    Read first message. Do not ask about it, you can check it yourself.

    You can also "Watch" this thread, it's an option on this forum (see top right of page), and it will email you whenever someone posts a new message. Although not sure if it will email you if someone only edits an existing post. Can anyone confirm?

    So, what about the members who implied that they ran Windows Update after successfully installing both the bypass & test update?

    1. The test update has no influence on WU being slowed down by v3.
    2. WU was slowed down to a point that it was not workable anymore in v3.
    3. Just always use the latest release of that moment.

    I guess I should have worded that differently; after uninstalling the test update, with the bypass still installed, should I have Windows Update check for updates?

    Why these questions over and over again (not only from you)? There currently are no ESU updates on WU available. v4 doesn't cause WU to be slowed down, so you can keep the bypass installed if you want.

    I think because until your post just now, none of the replies I saw were very clear. This should be added to the OP, I would never had asked if I read this yesterday.
