    Good to know. I think it is okay we skip the November 2024 update and jump straight to December 2024 when it gets released. From the November 2024 release article:
    So there are no big vulnerabilities, and waiting a bit over two weeks should not be a problem at all.

    PS: Same as with the GitHub comment, the href of the above link is broken, the correct link is (paste in the address bar):

    I have a question about BypassESU-v13f: So far I have selected "Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 category" in Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher. What do I have to do now in BypassESU-v13f under point [3] Configure WU ESU Patcher?

    You don't need to change or configure

    just install .NET 4 bypass if needed

    All downloads are in the first post of this topic. .NET4 bypass is built into v13f, but there is also a standalone patcher.

    Hello all,

    A TOTAL NOOB here. I have a 2nd gen i7, its pretty old and cant really perform that well with windows 10. So i was thinking of reverting back to windows 7. Anyway, I was redirected to this thread from the windows 7 download page of massgrave and NOTHING made sense to me. Can someone please, if they dont mind, explain to me the step by step process of what i should do ? I am not an advanced or heavy user or anything. I am a regular user who will watch movies etc and play some old video games, so i just want to make sure i have the required updates, as some video games require the visual c++,.net framework etc.

    I created a Windows 7 Ultimate vhd image by installing it in VirtualPC. No matter which machine I deploy and boot from the image, there is always a random 5-minute system freeze. Doesn't matter how many times it happens, if I let the PC just sit for 5 minutes instead of holding the power button to force a shut down, I regain usage of the computer again without needing to restart. This leads me to think it's not the OS or hardware itself but a problem with one of the hotfixes that glitches and occupies 100% of the system resources for 5 minutes. Can anyone think of a hotfix I can remove to solve this problem once and for all?

    You can´t force a/an malware pseudo operating system windows 8.1&10&11 to work for you the user; all you get is problems with these art of spyware (m$-drivers and so on) no more original drivers will accepted only with problems with the hardware itself. Telemetry all the way.

    Can the SQL Server 2014 ESU also be Bypassed with this? Or is this just for Windows Server 2008 R2 Updates?

    Just Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows 7 x64 for now on. (Up to October 2024 on Windows 7 x86).

    How far did you go with the updates? You should skip November 2024 Rollup: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/the-kb5046687-kb5046705-november-2024-esu-updates.88767/

    If the issue persists, I'd ask on a more dedicated place: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-loader-support-and-chat.24902
