I finally buckled and updated one of my two Win7 PCs to Win10 a couple months back only to find out that's ending updates in about a year. I'm curious if this bypass will work for Win10 as well.
This bypass works for the Win7 core & others with same core. Win 10 & 11 have different cores & their updates are not compatible with Win7. Check for a Win 10 forum here dealing with that OS specifically including a potential bypass update system. Good luck. ;>))
I am trying to install KB5016892 as one of the prerequisites for installing KB5040497 but it fails. In WU_ESU_Patcher.cmd i choose second (2) option. 1. It seems KB5016892 installed OK, but i do not see it in "installed updates" on my system. I installed it manually from .msu file. Should it be visible in Installed updates? 2. For KB5040497 i get error. No matter if i install it from WU or MSU or Simplix, it starts installing process but it allways ends in failure.
1. fail how or what error message? yes, it's should be in installed updates 2. did you install ESU Suppressor? updates can fail for other reasons, check logs in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
Not at all the suppressor prevent the check for Windows updates, the .NET bypass hooks slc.dll to fake ESU license' no real license is harmed or touched that R7VHC is used to fake it but how did you get this status? it should only appear to msi not slmgr.vbs
1. it gives no error, it seems to install it correctly but it is not in installed list. I can install it many times but the same result (other updates give me alert that update was already installed) 2. i installed suppressor and patcher, other updates installed correctly directly from Windows update.

After many checks, it appears as soon as you apply the WU Patcher to the system (I use Windows 7 Embedded tier). Main type of activation does not matter. Looks like slmgr.vbs is fooled.
Oh yes the Embedded 7 tier of the standalone patcher hook sppwmi.dll, which slmgr.vbs does use, so it would be affected and fooled too
@abbodi1406 so i finally installed it, just needed to remove one manifest file first (which i downloaded from github before). I still have some issues for manual installing some .msu files. If .msu file is intended for Windows server, should i still be able to install it or the bypass only work for installation via WU? For example i get error "the update is not applicable to your computer" for KB5011649. Can you install this one without issue please? Also WU offer me KB3068708 and KB3080149 (some telemetry updates). Should i install these two or better to avoid them?
direct msu installation facilitate Windows Update engine to check applicability, it will not work without WU ESU Patcher extract the inner Windows6.1-KB*.cab and install with DISM tool all the old telemetry updates are already incorporated into Monthly Rollup and some Security Only updates it's easier to just disable it https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/68131/
but when i activated WU ESU Patcher (Server category) then it should work, right? I tried remove patcher and then applied again but got the same error...
