    Hi, I removed .NET 4 ESU Bypass and from BypassESU-v13f's LiveOS-Setup.cmd settings and, then, rebooted and then re-enabled .NET 4 ESU Bypass from settings again and then rebooted again. For 3-4 times. I was not able to install KB5055171 because, very simply, .NET 4 ESU Bypass doesn't work on my 3 Windows 7 Pro.
    I had to install KB5055171 manually as it has always been happening for several months with the .NET 4 updates.
    At the contrary, no problem with KB5055561 and KB5056456.
    I don't understand...

    Kirklang:
    You need to place the new NET Framework 4.8 update inside the same folder as the dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_v4 tool, then run its command(.cmd) script as Administrator.
    After the 2 - 3 minute install process is over, press any key to exit the tool.

    Installed KB5055171 manually using dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer or without it?

    both .NET 4 ESU Bypass dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer use the same DLL hook file
    maybe your AV removes the DLL or registry key after a while, so the bypass fails
    whereas dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer uses the file/registry on-fly during installation

    Thanks a lot for your answer.
    In the previous months, I used dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer, but I did a test and I realized that I could install KB5055171 as a matter of fact without dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer, too.
    But always and only manually, because BypassESU-v13f can't "see" the .Net update via Windows Update.

    Thank you, but I already know that.
    I can install NET Framework 4.8 update (only manually...) with dotNetFx4_ESU_Installer_v4 tool and also without that, indifferently...

    Hello. Just a reminder, until when updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 will be released and when all other options for using Windows 7 will be gone. Thanks.

    Nothing is everything & there are very few absolutes. None with this Win7 update process. WU still alerts me to the monthly security rollouts, the .NET framework monthlies when available & that another SSU is available. Just this last month as a matter of fact. I like to download & do the installs myself but I do use WU as an alarm clock. A process with years of success & no need to change this late in the game. ;>))
