Bypass Windows 7 Extended Security Updates Eligibility

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.

 

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.

 

For windows 7 patch as server 2008 r2 to have update up to 2026

For 64 bits only


For 32bits patch as posready to have update up to october 2024

 

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. ;>))

 

Ony if processor is SSE2 compatible, and if not it's march 2018.

Dear experts,
can You please help me?
Here my preparatory work:
New / fresh Windows 7 SP1 64-bit system
1. All regular KBs installed
2. All recommended KBs from the ReadMe.txt of the "Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher and BypassESU-v13f folders" installed.
3. "WU_ESU_PATCHER.cmd" plus Option 3 (Server 2008R2 and Win7 category) installed as administrator and without virus protection.

Shortly after a reboot, the first (11) KBs appeared: 3*Win7 and 8*2008R2. I was able to download and install all - exept one.

Problem:
During the first "Installation reboot," three 2008R2 KBs were automatically uninstalled.
Now I'm afraid to install any more 2008R2 KBs. So far I have blocked over 40 KBs.

In the meantime, I've uninstalled the patch again using Option 4.

But I'd like to continue using ESU until 2026. Can you please give me some advice?
Can I configure the ESU update (Server 2008R2) so that I only receive security KBs, for example?

Greetings

 

Can always use the SimpliX Pack if you don't want to screw around with the ESU Patcher.

 

Thanks for your reply!
Is Windows 7 ESU KBs automatically integrated (Simplix Pack) and can be installed?

 

Yes.

 

Thanks for your quik reply!

 

Due to protestware changes in 2022, my trust in this pack has been permanently broken. I use the last version prior to the changes. I also apply TSforge for ESU year 3, then install all the updates that remain in Windows Update, and apply TSforge again for ESU year 6. However, the updates for Windows Server 2008R2 don't appear. What is the proper way to act here, so that I don't install something that I don't need, and don't "fix" something that ain't broken (bypassing ESU activation that is already activated via TSforge)?

 

I maintain my own personalized update lists, which are compiled from information found on various forums and blogs, and for Windows 7, there are numerous alternative resources available.

I think you still need the BypassESU-v13f installed (minus the dot net bypass).

The updates are cumulative. I install them manually every month: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1871248

As of April 2025: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1875455

Use the latest WU ESU Patcher and switch to the Windows Server 2008 R2 category:

My two cents.

 

Is the source code of the binaries here (like msiesu.dll), or information where they were obtained (if official Microsoft binaries and/or patched in some way) available?
