    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).

    I came across reports of BSODs, so I decided to leave it alone.

    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?

    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.

    First of all, patch to 2008 R2 and not Embedded. Secondly, get the latest SSU KB5056456 for Server 2008 R2.

    Hello,

    Just tested on my last windows 7 updated image done in December 2022.
    So I started with the following:
    - Windows 7 Enterprise x86 updated on December 2022
    - Windows 7 Enterprise x64 updated on December 2022
    Back in December 2022 the updated image was created using the following:
    - Windows Hotfix Downloader to download all the KB* updates for windows 7
    - abbodi1406 WHD-W7UI taken from his official GitHub repository
    - some things taken from sordum (to kill windows defender / windows update since I prefer manually update of windows and use a different AV solution for windows)
    Few hours ago I just take the images created back in December 2022 and follow the steps:
    1. Install the Wwindows 7 x86 / x86 in VmWare workstation
    2. Use the BypassESU-v13f to install the ESU Supressor first
    3. Reboot the virtual machines
    4. Run again the BypassESU-v13f to install the NET Framework ESU
    5. Reboot the virtual machines
    6. Use Windows Hotfix Downloader to download all the new KB* released for Windows 7 x86 / x84
    7. Use the latest WHD-W7UI to install all the updates with the following config:
    OnlineLimit =75
    ESUpdates =YES
    LDRbranch =YES
    IE11 =YES
    RDP =YES
    Hotfix =YES
    Features =YES
    WAT =YES
    WMF =YES
    Windows10 =NO
    ADLDS =YES
    RSAT =YES
    8. Reboot the Virtual machines
    9. Run the Net framework optimization "ngen.exe executeQueuedItems"
    10. Use Dism++ to cleanup the temporary files of the live installation done on the virtual machines
    11. Enable the adminstrator account
    12. Reboot the virtual machines and login with the built in Admistrator account
    13. Delete the folders of the other account creted by windows setup
    14. Run sysprep to prepare the image for capture
    15. Boot using WinPE 24H2 and run dism to capture the image
    16. Edit the captured install.wim and set edition = Enterprise
    17. Use WHD7-UI to install again ESU updates on boot.wim and winre.wim
    18. Build a new ISO file with updated install.wim and boot.wim
    19. Install again windows 7 in virtual machines using the updates iso files created.

    With the steps above I have no issue at booting from updated media, no errors logged in setuperr.log so I guess that it supposed to work on physical machine.
    Doing the same steps without BypassESU-v13f did not work and throw an unsupported cpu bsod for x64 version of windows 7. For x86 it worked fine without using BypassESU-v13f but I used it just to be sure.
    From what I noticed from Windows Hotfix Downloader windows 7 x86 windows updates stopped for more than 1 year ago so ESU updates are release only for x64 version.

    I hope that this information is helpful for others who want to create an updated windows 7 install media.
