    I don't have either installed. Hide them.

    Do you have this registry value? it's still required for WU metadata
    Code:
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat /v cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, that value is still present. Would you agree about hiding the 2 old updates?

    Thanks

    I have 4049016 installed but not 4041083. The 4049016 would be the most recent of the two & probably replaced the older.
    I don't think it would hurt to install them now (oldest first or let WU do it) or even skip them using only the most recent update; 5037038.
    If you are successful with the rollup & the most recent .NET update then older should not matter.
    Following @abbodi1406 's advice will always be wise.

    I know it is quite early for this question, but @ abbodi1406, are there any plans for a project about Windows 10 ESU in the future?

    Hello, I have been able to successfully install all updates since October 2023. But there are problems with the April 2024 update. Do you have any suggestions for solutions for this?
    I always get error code 80004005
    I've already tried a few suggested solutions for this error code, but I kept getting this error.
    Thanks

    I found a solution:

    Grub as a problem in dual boot environments:
    There is a note in an external forum thread that the access error occurred on a DualBoot system with Linux and Grub Loader. After Grub was shut down, the update could be installed. In this MS Answers forum post, the user posted an excerpt from Event Viewer. Package KB3185330 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80004005. Something is blocking the installer's ability to set the update's status to "installed" status. There, too, a multiboot environment with a Grub boot loader turned out to be the cause.

    I removed all hard drives and only booted WIN7 without GRUB on the Ubuntu partition. The update installed without any problems.

    Is it safe to remove the older versions of the rollups? How can I use dism in order to do that?

    Run Disk Cleanup and select "Windows Update Cleanup"

    yes it's safe, as long you installed ESU suppressor

    I'm still using ESU supressor v11 for the monthly rollups (and v12 only for .NET updates), so I guess there would be no problem. I didn't remember that Disk Cleanup was useful for cleaning updates. Now I'm gaining a lot of free space in my drive. Thank you very much brother for your service, for your time, your patience and dedication.

    Hello,

    Would like to ask for a workstation that is patched until Jan 2020, what would be the best way to get up to date till 2024.
    Can I just download the latest roll up for 2024 for Server 2008 R2 and run W7ESUI.CMD?

    It's an offline PC which I do not plan to connect to the Internet.

    I have heard of it, but I prefer to be able to understand what is being done. In the W7ESUI, the batch file is open so I can go through it. I saw peeps in the W8 forum using it as is, but I am not sure if anyone has tried using it with the latest ESU on an unpatched version.

    Also I suppose the latest roll up will contain all ESU materials from the past few years?
