Separation of security, important, recommended, optional existed from the very beginning. If you never cared about this complex before you probably installed everything that was offered via auto updates, and you installed monthly rollups the last couple of years. Look into your update history.

Seems to correct to me as that's what I did it and everything worked as expected for me.

That's my understanding as well. When I first downloaded the bypass and tried to install the ESU eligibility update it failed, but I remembered that I hadn't installed the Jan 2020 SSU yet so I downloaded and installed it. Once I had done that the bypass allowed me to install the eligibility update as expected which in turn allowed me to install KB4537813. I should also note that I did not need the bypass installed for the update to install successfully.

Your own post says it probably was something on the system that caused the long reboot, the SSU only causes the bypass to stop working, but recent development shows that when the old test ESU is installed, all ESU checks are suppressed, that's the reason MSFT removed it from catalog. The SSU doesn't cause any problems for windows itself.

Ah, Ok, I understand. Then the only patch that is killing the bypass is KB4537829?? That's the "malevolent" one?

 

On my system, Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1, it lists 3 .mum files mentioning KB4537829. Which do I need to edit to enable uninstall?

Code:

Package_2_for_KB4537829~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2.mum
Package_for_KB4537829_SP1~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2.mum
Package_for_KB4537829~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2.mum

 

The 3 packages

It never occurred on any of the tests i did, but those were clean pristine uptodate (simplix'ed) installs.

Your other system didn't show this behaviour.

From now on, every month it will be an adventure to get the new updates installed on 7

@Bill_Boquet

For when you go the rollup route:
SSU = kb4537829
Rollup = kb4537820

For when you go the separate updates route:
Security Only = KB4537813
MSIE11 CU = KB4537767

For all bypass scenarios:
KB4538483 = not needed

 

I have Windows 7 ultimate 32 bits and after installing the bypass i downloaded the updates Windows 7 x86 KB4537813 and KB4537767 from microsoft catalog and installed them successfully, should i also install the Windows Embedded Standard 7 versions of the same patches or this is not needed?
