    no up-to-date "WU ESU Patcher" = WU recognize only old Monthly Rollup = it sees the old Monthly Rollup as superseded (by latest 2024-10) = it offer old updates

    either ignore / disable WU, or use standalone "WU ESU Patcher"

    I actually just wanted to say goodbye, now I'm reading about "Server Premium Assurance" which I somehow missed.

    So we'll hear from each other in 2026 at the latest... perfect. :)
    But still a huge thank you to everyone involved!
    Best wishes, Martin

    This is unfortunate because the majority of users who still use Windows 7 or even earlier do so due to compatibility with 32-bit software, in addition to the fact that the hardware of their PCs does not allow an upgrade to a higher version.
    This scenario is seen a lot in medical centers.

    Don't shoot the messenger. Premium Assurance is for Server 2008 R2, which does not have a 32bit version. Contrary to Server 2008 SP2, which does still have one. This leads to the strange situation of getting updates for Vista 32bit but not for Win7 32bit.

    Here is the initial discussion about Windows Server Premium Assurance. If you are interested, you can take a look back.:)

    I still can't get over the fact that Server 2016 / 2016 LTSB might get support longer than W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021
    But more choice is good anyway ;)

    Easy to "get over". Just remember the common denominator creating the situation: "Microsoft". ;>))
    W10 was always a prelude to W11. Deals were made years apart. I imagine M$ would love to travel back in time & cancel the 2026 offer.
    You did see?: Build 14393 (Win10 Ver.1607) will continue to be supported until 2033-01/11

    Yes, I understood that, but the only example I've seen so far was Pro Tools, which I believe to have been fixed for some time.

    I'm struggling to install KB5044356. It downloads but fails to install. I'm getting error: Code 8024200D Any tips or advice? It appears that everything was installed and working correctly, but this update is giving me a lot of problems and won't install. I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise.

    The update is 2024-10 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hello, please don't take it badly if this question has already been answered many times, but is there still a possibility to get updates after 10/2024? Or is it finally over now?

    Go to page 408 (top or bottom of this page). Several comments answering your question. You need to know which version your system is: x86, x64, embedded, etc...
    Most of us running Win7 x64 are hoping to use Win Server 2008 R2 x64 updates through Jan 2026...
