That's what i ment, they boldly add whatever they want (in plain sight mostly ) multiple security-only updates include telemetry components, it not hard to disable
Hi, I don't know if it is the right place to ask, but since it involves the updating process I thought maybe it's connected with the ESU Bypass. I don't remember exactly when it started (it's been years now), but after the monthly updates have been installed there is a chance that, when I try to open a program with administrator privileges, the UAC prompt doesn't appear immediately and it takes about 20 seconds to do so (only the first time every boot). I had hoped the problem was gone since I switched to the new Bypass last year, but this month the issue has returned. It's not a big deal, but it's something that's been bugging me for a long time. Any Ideas?
It's connected to the updates themselves the bypass doesn't interfere with any Windows process (except msiexec.exe for .NET 4 bypass) i get the same behavior in some Win7 VMs (which only has KB4474419)
OK, thank you. I just hope that I won't get stuck with it after the last update for Windows 7 will be released!
With NO disrespect intended I thank you for your kind guidance & I say again: Guess there is a difference between "needing" & "having". The second one was tried first by me through WU. Failed. Reverted & restored. Then manually downloaded & installed both; 5061195 1st, restart, & 5061196 2nd & restart with WU OFF. Success on both counts. My experiences with M$ have taught me that it is not always about the destination but more about the route taken to get there. Getting there, in the end, is the goal. ;>))
^^Installed on one test machine here via Windows Update with no issues... Thanks all involved in the project for keeping Win7 alive!
On my machine it hung at a download progress of 61% and then failed with error 80072ee2. Second try currently hangs again at 61%.
Moin @ All! My June 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 KB5060996 (Cumulative Security Update for IE 11 for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64) -> succesfully installed KB5061036 (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!
I saw it, I just wanted to confirm the error. It happened again on a third try a couple hours ago. I now installed the package manually, which worked fine, and Windows Update shows no missing updates anymore.
I noticed that the Security Monthly Quality Rollup from June 2025 has a lower KB number than the previous one of May 2025. To my knowledge that didn't happen before, at least not since January 2025. I don't know if there is a deeper meaning in it. Windows6.1-KB5061196-x64 Security Monthly Quality Rollup 2025-05 Windows6.1-KB5061078-x64 Security Monthly Quality Rollup 2025-06, has lower KB number than previous rollup
It's normal. Microsoft does this for the Out-of-band (OOB) updates. Guess this may be due to how they assign KB IDs. When you check the catalog details, you'll find out 2025-06 is the latest.
Good job. I run into this same problem on occasion with MU downloads failing. I immediately go to manual download & install. Continues to work for me. I mostly use WU like an alarm clock to let me know when an update is available then I use the manual download & install method to save time & heartache. Again, well done.
But these are regular updates (Security Monthly Quality Rollup) on schedule and not Out-of-band (OOB) updates and never noticed that before since November 2024 where you have to use Windows Server 2008 R2 updates to keep Windows 7 up-to-date. Security Monthly Quality Rollup x64 for Windows Server 2008 R2 KB5046687 2024-11 KB5048695 2024-12 KB5050049 2025-01 KB5052016 2025-02 KB5053620 2025-03 KB5055561 2025-04 KB5061196 2025-05 KB5061078 2025-06 I just found this strange.
I'm a little confused .. I heard about some new updates for W7 x64 ESU and noticed some movement in this topic .. my latest updates are: Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (KB5020879) | 12/13/2022 Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (KB5018516) | 10/11/2022 Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (KB4532941) | 01/14/2020 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5022338) | 02/08/2023 Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5020861) | 12/13/2022 Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5013637) | 05/10/2022 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5017397) | 09/13/2022 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5016892) | 08/24/2022 Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5010798) | 01/17/2022 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4536952) | 01/14/2020 Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4532945) | 01/14/2020 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4575903) | 07/30/2020 Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4570673) | 11/08/2020 If I'm missing anything new, let me know
