One of them is enough, when you have the other ones from the months before. The Security Monthly Quality Rollup supersedes all other Quality Rollups after 2020. I've been installing just the Security Only updates for years, month after month. See: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1870782 The Monthly Quality Rollup is for when you are starting from scratch, and want to get yourself quickly updated from a January 2020 pre-ESU status. My two cents.
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I somehow completely missed that. However, I can't use it on a Windows 7 Pro system the way BypassESU allows to install Embedded 7 updates (2023-02 to 2024-10), nor can I install Server 2008 R2 updates (post 2024-10) with it - right? And for .NET updates post 2022-12, either the part of BypassESU or the .NET standalone installer is required anyway. Did I understand that correctly? So apart from Server 2008 R2 systems, it's more for the future (Windows 10 ESU...)? Thanks and best regards, Martin
You can use it to manually install Windows updates and .NET 4.x updates only WU does not support or recognize Win7 post 2023-01
When I went through that process with Firefox ESR 115.23.0, the number 3 appeared, so I changed it to 2. Was that the correct thing to do? Update: This appears to be bad information because TLS 1.3 is more secure. I have changed it back to 3.
I was surprised to see not 1 but 2 security-only updates for May! Why is that? What is this out-of-band update? Any bugs or "time-bombs" perhaps? (MS loves time-bombs!) Or is it safe to install? I refer to the (KB5061195) update...
You think they would be afraid to put the timebomb in the main updates if so? it just a security hotfix that they didn't get time to include in main updates just install
Well, they have put telemetry in the IE11 updates, so you have a point. If it doesn't break anything, I will install it...
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. ;>))
