I'm getting an error trying to install KB5050183 (2025-01 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET framework). I patched this machine a few months ago to take advantage of the extended security updates, and it's been working fine except for this specific update. Do I need to run the new patcher? Or is the error related to something else? Running Win 7 Enterprise
Do you have BypassESU-v13f + .NET 4 ESU installed? And if you have a .NET 4 ESU, make the option to deactivate and again activate. Install .NET now! You can also install it manually.
Been updating w/o issues for several years now but this month had the KB5049619 issue others have - "fatal error during installation" so I decided to install BypassESU-v13f which then successfully installed it (yesterday) but today I've got the "windows 7 build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine" in bottom right corner of desktop. I have a GENUINE copy of W7 I've been using since it came out! Never seen this issue mentioned here so anyone know which of the various solutions I've found online is best? I could reactivate it but idk if that would screw something else up somehow.
I can only speak for my setup, but I recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU and after that was done I was able to reactivate Windows 7 with all of the Windows 7 Embedded and Server 2008 R2 updates installed. To be on the safe side, make an image of your C drive, that way if anything does go wrong, you can always restore things to its current state and not be any worse off than you are now.
Hope you got it solved. Here is what I did. I installed the "Tool for removal of harmful software". After that I got the update for Staple pack in WU. I then installed the .net update manaully. After that I rebooted the PC, installed the Staple pack, and then searched for updates. Then I got offered the Monthly rollup and installed it. From what I have read here, the .net update must be installed before the Staple pack gets installed. Hope that helps.
I manually installed the latest SSU and then got offered the rollup. In the past until now the SSU got offered automatically for me.
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the files. You can do this by using the "cd" (change directory) or "pushd" command. For example, if you extracted the files to a folder named "SPPCleanup" on your desktop, you would use the following command: Code: cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\SPPCleanup Replace "YourUsername" with your actual username. Once you're in the correct directory, you should be able to run the commands successfully.
I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1 and have been using the Bypass since January 2020. Have just noticed that the last Monthly Windows Security Roll Up was installed on 22 Oct 2024. Nothing in November. On December 9, had an important Update for Windows KB2999226 installed and nothing else. In January this year, there was nothing until I installed the latest Bypass v.13. After that, found only Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool KB890830 but nothing else. I see recommendations above for people with the same issue to install KB5050681 manually first, but that's for Windows Server 8. What about for my OS? Thank you for your help and for keeping my Windows 7 alive!
It worked!! Thanks for all the instructions! Saved me the time/trouble of trying all the other solutions found online that may or may not work! Hopefully w/e caused it I can avoid in the future.
I have downloaded and installed KB5050681, and after doing a search for updates, some recommended updates were installed but still nothing important was found. So, my last Security Monthly Quality Roll Up for Windows 7 and Quality Roll Up for .NET Framework were installed on 22 October 2024, and since then I've only had two important 'Updates for Windows' (KB2999226 installed in December and KB5050681 that I have just installed manually), as well as the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool KB890830 installed in January. Is this how it should be for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP 1?
