    I have never seen any option list to run the packs, but if that russian moron didn't start harassing (read: killing) innocent people on very shady grounds maybe the dev didn't feel the need to start his protest.

    But I am stopping with this discussion here (it's not relevant to the topic of this thread and), i always kept the alternative option for updating the ancient win 7 in it's own dedicated thread.

    I see no point in continuing the conversation about who lives where and what happens around. I am a computer user, I don't care about physical world.

    What matters currently, is how can I get Windows 7 systems up-to-date with official and/or open source tools, without having to re-download everything on each system and waiting a few hours until it all applies.

    Catch-22. A great story & book (also film). Also a contrary situation we all must face on occasion. The fastest answer is "money". A "poop" boat load of it to M$ or secondary market businesses specializing & charging an arm & a leg to provide what you are describing. OR you could become educated & skilled in coding & the software intricacies of M$ & Win7 updates. I know, NOT you. Next choice, for free, but with some education & skill development, you go somewhere like My Digital Life. All is provided for free, not exactly opensource or 100% "Kosher" but works if you listen, learn & apply.

    Your ask of 100% free, 100% according to M$ "rules" & with someone else using their knowledge, skill & time to do it for you is NOT happening. Maybe a dream for you but a nightmare for everyone else. My suggestion: Zorin OS. Also my eventual choice. Or add it to your Xmas & birthday wish list.

    Thanks for asking; now please stop. ;>))

    Is it normal that I cannot see the latest installed .NET updates?
    upload_2025-5-7_22-38-5.png
    I did install KB5055171, using ndp48-kb5055171-x64_8b54e011ef2523e03e43bcef1f306e5aa59b79f3.exe, but it does not show here.

    Is that Update History or Installed Updates?

    if you used dotNetFx4xW7 repack (or Wintoolkit addon), then later installed updates probably don't show up

    It's Installed Updates.

    I did use the .wa addons with Simplix Pack in the past. Is there any fix for this?

    Might be a dumb question, but can the W7ESUI tool be used to install recent Server 2008 R2 updates on Win7?

    I meant a new installation of Windows 7. Before it worked without any problems.
    Even if I click on update in MSSE, it does not work.

    Are you using MSSE or Win Defender? My version of Win7 was upgraded to Win Defender which was turned off when I installed MSSE.
    MSSE was turned on. Basically same system using same signatures.

    Check your security & update settings from inside of Control Panel & your AV. WU on? AV options on as you want them? Is AV on?

    Does your MSSE have administrator rights?

    I use MSSE. This actually always has admin rights and I don't have any other av.

    If you have access to manual updating by opening MSSE & clicking "Update" then I suggest setting a daily quick scan time & allow MSSE to update 1st.
    If it will not manual update then that could mean a whole another can of worms. Was your copy of MSSE "clean"?

    This could have a bunch of answers. Kind of like asking why your car won't start. You could start with a complete MSSE uninstall & clean. Then close everything.
    Turn WU off. Do a clean install of MSSE with admin. SEARCH "MSSE installer 2025" & be sure to visit links you can trust for info & downloads.

    Only 64bit version MSSE for Win7 being updated with server updates.
    Have uploaded latest #'s from my MSSE version. Good luck.

    Moin @ All!

    My May 2025 ESUpdate experience for Windows 7 Pro / Enterprise SP1 x64 systems:

    "Licensing method": KB4528069 & "new" BypassESU-v13f

    "Installing method": Manual download and installation via Microsoft®Update-Catalog

    KB5058380 (Cumulative Security Update for IE 11 for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed

    KB5058454 (Security Only Quality Update for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed

    The current Security Intelligence Update was downloaded and installed by the auto-update function of MSE.

    @ abbodi1406: Great job & thx for your support!

    Edit: After I patched my systems, Microsoft released an Out-of-Band Update (KB5061195) to complement KB5058454.

    This should of course also be installed:

    KB5061195 Out-of-Band (Security Only Quality Update for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed

    Thx @ peter4heppner & vp2 for the hint!
