    1. What is Suppressor for and what functionality is included in it?
    2. Can I do without it and continue receiving updates?

    ESU Suppressor = allow to install Windows OS updates (including .NET 3.5.1)
    .NET 4 ESU Bypass = allow to install .NET 4 updates (4.6.2 up to 4.8)

    you cannot install ESU updates without above options

    but you can choose not to use "WU ESU Patcher" and install updates manually (you must extract cab file from msu file and install using dism)

    Hello!

    I've been using both BypassESU v12 and WSUS proxy, and things have been quite trouble-free!

    However, for some reason, it seems like I'm not able to install KB5031226 due to Code 643.
    Did I mess something up? I do recall accidentally installing an older update from 2016 after fully upgrading my system and enabling WSUS, and now I can't remove that update to replace it with the client one. Could that be the cause? Is my system busted? Thanks.

    Hello, will there be a thread like this for Windows 10 after it expires next year?

    Sorry for being a little off topic and thanks

    I'm a bit confused in which method to use to get 2024 updates
    So far I used BypassESU now I need to uninstall it to use the Windows 7 embedded method ?

    .NET 4 ESU Bypass installed?

    check *-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8-*.txt files at %temp% or %windir%\temp

    Yes, just checked, the LiveOS script only has the option to uninstall .NET 4 ESU Bypass.

    What should I look for exactly in those logs? The only somewhat meaningful line I could find is this:
    Code:
    MSI (s) (58:74) [00:02:48:799]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 - Update 'KB5031001' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:\Windows\TEMP\KB5031001_20240605_000139463-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8-MSP0.txt.
    Googled and it's apparently to do with there being not enough storage? But I definitely have ~410 GB of free storage on my main drive.

    Check KB5031001_20240605_000139463-Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8-MSP0.txt
    search for "ValidateESULicense" and see if it's working (Ended. HR=0)
    if it's working, then check for other errors

    You’re late. What you propose is complex. I haven’t understood it. I’ve already solved it using UP7, which a user here provided me. I’ve been testing it in a virtual machine without issues. When I’ve installed it on the actual computer, I’ll comment on the results here, which will be in the coming days.

    Oh, it actually throws code 15615:
    Code:
    06/05/24 00:02:48 DDSet_Exit: ValidateESULicense Ended. HR=15615
    So, I guess I have to reinstall .NET 4 ESU Bypass? Gonna try.
    Also, if it helps, I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise for this.
