    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?

    Thanks for the wonderful script, I managed to use the CMD with the SSU and January's 2024 which I presumed is the last patch ever for Windows 7, but I saw there are actually patches for April too, so I supposed I missed that.
    But I did not install the .NET rollup though.

    Works well!

    Sorry if this is a little offtopic but I can't find where to ask this. Windows Update offers me updates for all the Office products but it turns out that I only have installed Word, Excel and PowerPoint. That means that I have updates offered for Access, OneNote, Outlook and all the other Office programs, even when I don't have them installed in my computer. What should I do with those updates? Install? Ignore? Hide? My common sense tells me that there is no point in updating a program that I don't have, but with Microsoft I can never be sure of anything.

    If you installed a suite (Standard, Professtional, Pro Plus...), you get updates for all included programs
    you can ignore those updates for non-installed programs

    Perfect. It really made no sense to install all that but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks again for your kindness and patience.

    Moin @ All!

    My May 2024 ESUpdate experience for Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 systems:

    "Licensing method": KB4528069 & "new" BypassESU-v12

    "Installing method": Manual download and installation via Microsoft®Update-Catalog

    KB5037916 (Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 4.8) -> succesfully installed

    KB5037803 (Security Only Quality Update for Windows Embedded 7 Standard / Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) -> succesfully installed

    The following additional updates were offered by the Microsoft servers via the Windows Update Search and were also successfully installed: Security Intelligence-Update for Microsoft Security Essentials and .NET 6.0.30 Security Update for x64 Client (KB5038350).

    @ abbodi1406: Thx for your support! Great job!

    Hello everyone.

    This is the first time I write in this forum. I'm not good at speaking English (my native language is Spanish), sorry for that.
    I have a mini laptop (also called 'netbook') with the following configuration:
    Atom N455 | 2 GB (1x2) SHDD 500gb (hybrid hard drive) | dual boot Win 7 Starter (Original OEM) + Manjaro XFCE x64

    This laptop has all the updates installed to date including the ESU thanks to the instructions and patches published here. To date I had been able to install all the updates without problems, including those from Group B published on the askwoody site.

    Unfortunately, I cannot install a single April 2024 update. After finishing installing it and restarting, when the computer restarts I get the message 'Failed to install updates. Reverting the changes' and it does not install. I tried installing the May updates today from both group b on the Askwoody site and those offered by Windows Update and they installed without problems. But when I try the April 2024 KB5036922 update, the previously reported error occurs.

    I have tried resetting the windows update components, deleting the SoftwareDistributions folder and logs without success.
    I repeat again. The problem is only with the KB5036922 (32 Bits) update


    I would appreciate a quick response and your help.
    I think they do a great job for those of us who still have a computer with Windows 7 because we work with programs that depend on this system and because our HW prevents us from updating. I use Win 7 locally, for the internet I use the partition where I have manjaro installed.

    I edit this to apologize to @jooecat for providing misleading & bad info. Drop down a comment to see the clarification.

    My own updates have gone smoothly for me. I always let WU tell me the updates are available then I download & install them from the MS catalog myself. For me that is easier. I do allow the OS & WU & WD to update the Win Defender files. Sorry again & thanks for the corrections below. ;>))

    @John_3_16 Windows 7 Starter (Original OEM) only exists in 32bit. The x64 refers to Manjaro.

    Group B means "Security only". But, as we deal with Windows 7 here, which doesn't receive any feature updates anymore, there is literally no difference between the LCU and the SecOnly updates left. You can therefore just try the May LCU. If that installs, you're covered.
    But SecOnly updates are not cumulative* by design. Thus, even with the May SecOnly updates installed, the April one is still missing. You need to check the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log where it fails.


    *There are special cases where the same targets get patched multiple times, with only the newest change applying. Windows will still ask for the previous patches in these cases.

    Thanks for the get back & clarifying explanation. My updates have been working fine for years now thanks to the great kind work of this crew here.

    It is @jooecat above who has the unique update problem. Maybe you could drop back a couple of comments & provide some help for him/her?

    My comment will only confuse his situation, not help it. Thanks again for the time, generosity & sharing of your knowledge & skills that keeps Win7 healthy. ;>))

    Hello

    I've been busy and haven't been able to see your messages.

    You don't have to apologize, we have all made mistakes at some point and in this case it was only an involuntary error since obviously we all know that win 7 starter is only available on x86 (32 Bit) architecture.

    Regarding what you say about updating via Windows Update Windows, Microsoft's software and WDefender (this is not my case. I use a third-party AV);
    I have always done that without problems but here I am raising the problem with a particular update that belongs to the ESU updates (therefore they are not always delivered via wupdate) that need the unofficial patches and methods published here to keep our systems always updated that is possible.

    I still don't understand what the proposed solution on your part would be.

    I don't understand what I should install, since the May update for Win 7 Embedded x86 (KB5037803) installed without problems on my computer with Win 7 Starter x86.

    This update (KB5037803) corresponds to Group B of monthly updates for Windows 7, published on the Askwoody site.

    Awaiting for an answer.

    Thanks.
