Thank you all for the input. I didn't know about this removal advantage from the bypass, which is very useful. Luckly I haven't installed a faulty update so far, that's why I keep checking here if anyone experienced problems and it saved me from installing the infamous 11/2024 Monthly Rollup.
I had installed that dreaded rollup. I even reinstalled Windows completely thinking it was an issue caused by me, but then it reoccurred after I re-updated to latest and well at that point I knew it was the update. I had reported the issue both on Supermium GH and a Microsoft Answers thread. After returning to the October rollup on Vista and 7, I stayed with it until the December rollup, and thankfully that was fine.
All bypasses are broke after Microsoft's updates from August. Maybe time updating wu patchers and add patchers to bypasses which haven't ? To fix all
Good news, the HackAndPwn site has finally been updated. // If the available bypassers are not working anymore, this method will, and it's not limited to W7 Professional, Ultimate or Server 2008 R2. The Manifest file part was never needed for me. Also, there are many non-ESU updates there worth checking (many of those have already been posted elsewhere in this forum).
Before August updates bypass esu 7 and lh 8 without problems was let's to update original windows server 2008 sp2. I checked. Now i was again make on cleaning and to bypasses and error from WU. I don't know if on Windows 7 bypass 13f still work normally. I will check on clean again install in virtual machine.
You should mention that then + Vista has its own thread https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/bypass-esu-longhorn.89161/ the C8000266 error will not be possible to fix for x86
I know but we tell about oryginal server 2008 what worked with two bypasses together, because wu patcher in one second net esu.
why would you even use that site it's update list when SimpliX Pack exists and is sufficient for 99,9% of autists Win7 users?
Win 7 x64 here just patched with BypassESU-v13f as Windows Embedded 7 category {2024-10-08} last update i installed (and found via Windows Update) was kb5034169 (2024-01), with the V11 Patcher. what i have done so far, - uninstalled the v11 Patch first - installed all Recommended Updates - reboot, - patched with v13f (as [2] Windows Embedded 7 category {2024-10-08} ) - stopped WU-Service and deleted SoftwareDistribution Folder - reboot searched for updates but Windows Update cant find any new updates. Normally it should find the latest Windows Embedded 7 Update from 2024-10-08, or? have also tried the Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher (from here), which was the solution before v13f Patch....but no luck. what could i have done wrong?
Windows Update is hit-or-miss, these days. Simply use SiMPLiX pack once a month and forget about WU. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...egrate-hotfixes-into-win7-distribution.45005/
Based on your comment your last installed update was Jan 2024. That is 19 months behind. THAT is what you did wrong. You should have been visiting here every month after 2nd Tuesday & followed everyone else here successfully updating. We only have 3 or 4 more left then it is Linux time. Best advice was given by Carlos Detweill in the comment immediately after yours. Good hunting.
