    I ended up using the original Windows 7 SP1 ISO with NTLite to slipstream in the non-ESU updates and used BypassESU to bypass eligibility right in the WIM. A fresh install has allowed me to install the latest cumulative ESUs for both Windows Server 2008 SP1 and .NET Framework and still be able to boot up afterwards (i.e. problem is solved). So something must have been broken with the previous install. (This is just a VM I used briefly for another purpose so I was happy to blow away its virtual drive and create a new one.)

    SBAT was unlikely to be the issue given this is a virtual machine with single-boot Windows 7. (It has impacted my ability to boot Linux live USB on other, physical machines running Windows 11, but I found out about the SBAT update and turned on the opt-out at the time.)

    Code:
    C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /get-packages 2>&1 | findstr /i "kb50"
    Package Identity : Package_for_KB5010798~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2

    Hello fellow 7 lovers. Just wondering if these updates will work later in 25. I got the Oct rollup. I really hate windows 11 with a passion.

    Many of us are up to date with Dec 2024 updates & waiting for Jan 2025 2nd Tue patches. We are expecting to be good through Jan 2026 with 2008 R2 Server security updates applied to our Win7 machines. One month at a time. We skipped over Nov 2024 updates due to serious BUGS.

    Revisit comment #1 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-extended-security-updates-eligibility.80606/ to update to File: BypassESU-v13f.7z if you have not already done so. Full instructions, warnings & explanations in comment #1 as usual.

    NOT yet. YOU are the first to report. I wait for WU to alert me to the availability then I come here to see how others are doing. I may wait several weeks to see if problems arise. We skipped Nov 2024 due to bugs & caught up with Dec 2024 rollout. I am still waiting for Jan 2025. Will check back Wednesday.

    I can report that you may have to search for updates a couple times before you are given the new SSU and until you get the new SSU you won't get the Jan 25 SMQR. After you get the new SSU the scan to find the Jan 25 SMQR may take several minutes. This is how it went on both my 7 and 08R2 VMs.

    Help: Even though I have Bypass version 13 installed on my Win 7 VM and have the .Net part of the Bypass installed, my VM won't get the .Net updates and when I try to install the .Net updates manually, it says on the install panel that they may be blocked. I am also running Bypass version 13 on my 08R2 VW, but it gets the .Net updates just fine though. So what is up with this?

    If you are trying to say that .Net 4.8 may not be on the system, well when I go to Programs & Features it is listed right there. And I had been getting .Net updates prior, also when I check the Bypass v13 installer, it only offers to either uninstall the .Net one or uninstall the Updates one. Also, after running Windows 7 for nearly 15 yrs on PCs and VMs, why do you think I'd be stupid enough to have not installed .Net 4.8 one & a half decades ago???????
