Maybe a few more details? BSOD? Describe the system you updated. Computer; CPU; OS; what it is used for (games, business, etc.)... Saying you got BSOD happening on schedule ever since... does not provide much to go on. Exact KB numbers you updated with. Did you download them yourself & manually update? Use WU? Do you update every month the same way? Is there possibly something else you play with/download/update that could have infected you? What kind of browser(s) are you using? Do you visit shady sites? Me? I monitor using WU & this forum & manually download & update myself every month. NO BSOD so far. Problems I have heard about ARE NOT with Win 7 64 bit systems. Tomorrow is the 2nd Tuesday of August & seems strange you have suffered with this more than weekly for a month without asking. I use Windscribe VPN, MSE AV protection (updates auto regularly); FF 115 updated; a few other protective & blocking apps. I invest & bank on my system, order food & essentials from Amazon, Walmart & eBay on the regular. I VISIT & use FREE (shady) streaming sites on the regular for TV shows, movies, sports, etc. My system works fine, is backed up regular. I glitched two weeks ago. My impression is that I overloaded & froze everything in a loop (maybe more than one) & I simply shut it all down. Win 7 would not start up properly. Through safe mode I changed Admin login PW & managed to get to system restore. I went back 7 days before my frozen system & restored there. That got me started. Only changes were to system files. I updated & ran my AV. I ran WU. Everything fine. No BSOD with my Win 7 laptop.
Latest SSU is still April 2025 for system below... 2025-08 Security Only Quality Update for Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB5063927) Windows Server 2008 R2 Security Updates 8/12/2025 52.2 MB 2025-08 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB5063947) Windows Server 2008 R2 Security Updates 8/12/2025 420.4 MB I started using the Security Only Quality Updates in early 2025 once 32 bit coverage was stopped. For my Win7 system I don't feel the larger Rollup contributes anything useful. Trying to avoid headaches until Jan/Feb 2026. Either way, my Zorin OS is primed & ready to take over as Primary OS on my Acer laptop.
Moin @ All! My August 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 KB5063927 (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!
Thanks Sinclair ZX81 (for being my reassurance) and of course thanks a million to aboddi1406 for his superb work and his generosity.
I posted this information for Windows 7 users! It's not for the thread about browsers, if that got you excitement somehow. I apologize.
Hello everyone. Newcomer here. I'm trying to install latest 08-2025 cumulative update but it fails with error 8024200D. I had a fresh install of win 7 x6 on a Phenom II X4 PC and updated up to 2020. After that I installed the BypassESU and it got me the updates up to 2023. It also installed the 04-2025 SSU. But I cannot install 08-2025 update, nor the .NET updates neither from windows update nor manually from microsoft catalog. The KUC_check_ESU_ready says check ok but it states ESU as not activated ?? any ideas anyone? -Also, after the 04-2025 SSU dealing wih windows update takes forever.... Thank you for your great effords!!!
Hi, I haven't used cumulative updates for Windows 7 in a long time. I just manually download and install the security-only from the Microsoft catalog, month after month. I'd recommend you try to activate ESU using TSforge: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/tsforge-activation-windows-esu-office-mas.88999/ My two cents. Thank you.
I agree with @NewEraCracker. I, too, just download Security Only updates from the catalog & any other offered updates like the SSU. I avoid the full rollup. Install manually myself. See my comment: #8852 Aug 12, 2025 Last edited: Thursday at 15:03 above... I am fairly certain there were NO .NET updates offered in Aug 2025 for Win 7 via the 64 bit server updates. Just the rollup & the Security Only.
Still going strong here. All August 2025 updates installed on my Windows 7 systems. With the Visual C++ packs, .net frameworks MS Security Essentials as AV and Firefox ESR Legacy as up-to-date browser. And Windows 10 users are panicking about their end of support lol. The real end of support next Oct 14 is Windows 7 that finally loses it's last lifeline in the form of Server 2008 R2 updates. Thanks again for this project!
