    So are you saying the long reboot probably will not be replicated next month...or I guess I will have to wait and see. Any reason why MY system installed all the necessary updates, even WITH the 4537829 installed??

    Thanks for your help, by the way.

    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 :D

    @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?

    Why would you try to install updates for a different windows when the correct updates are already installed?

    The Installed order is KB4537829(SSU)-->BypassESU-v4--->KB4537767(IE11).The Precondition of KB4537767 all have installed.(KB4474419-->KB4490628-->KB4536952 which had been replaced by KB4537829).
    The result is the KB4537767 has been installed sucess.But after restart windows,Configure the windows update setting that show fail in 62%.

    In your scenario, the SSU (the first update you install before the bypass is installed) causes the bypass to not work, so the reverting update is because of that.

    Use this to remove the SSU:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pdates-eligibility.80606/page-55#post-1577188

    Next install the bypass and install https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pdates-eligibility.80606/page-60#post-1577497

    Remove the bypass and you should be able to reinstall the SSU and all other ESUs.

    Thank you for stating this! People don't seem to realize that the IE engine provides most of Windows internet support. So, it's foolish to believe that 'since I don't use IE, I don't need to update IE'. If your system is connected to the internet, do the IE updates.

    It is good to remember that MS has on multiple occasions included telemetry with security only patches so you are certainly not exempt from it by avoiding the monthly rollups. The point is that if you are concerned about telemetry, you need to do your due diligence regardless of what camp you belong to.

    Hello how are you? I am anxious to install the windows 7 updates, but unfortunately (and I agree with many of those here) that the thread has become a bit cumbersome since for example in my case, I look and I understand less and less. Apart from all this, I know that they have answered thousands of questions but I need to ask the following questions
    1: How is the order to install new windows 7 updates this month? I ask because one puts one kb up and another puts the kb down so I get lost a lot.
    2: I have the update "Official" kb890830 in WU (which in theory is the one that once installed, in some machines a poster comes up something like "you do not have permission to turn off this equipment" right ?. My question is: install it or the hidden one? I'm afraid that my pc can't shut down anymore.
    3: In the end ... Do I omit the update that breaks the bypass or install it anyway and will they release another version of bypass in March?
    Finally a tip, to avoid all these questions including my own questions, put instructions in the OP very detailed that explain how the updates of January, February, March, ETC are installed. Since it looks like every month it will be a bit overwhelming (at least for me that I don't understand any English and the translator doesn't really help the truth) installing updates.
    Thank you very much, I congratulate those who made this possible and greetings from Argentina :)

    Telemetry is a bit off topic for this thread but for those worried about it, abbodi1406 has created a "disable telemetry script" for Win7 (and 8.1) found here.

    Thank you for this. I downloaded all Feb packages and installed Bypass ESU v4.7. Now ready to install...

    Error: "The Windows Modules Installer must be updated to before you can install this package. Please install Windows Modules Installer and retry Setup."

    Back in Jan I installed v.3 and successfully installed the KB4528069 update.

    Just searched my C:\Windows\servicing\Packages cannot find KB4537829. what am I missing?

    Ok, so, at this point, after successfully installing the current version of the bypass & test updates, I successfully installed the Feb MSRT, then the Feb monthly roll-up.

    Now, according to most here, the ESU licensing prep pkg isn't necessary, as it's only for people who paid for an ESU key.

    And, we are not to touch the Feb SSU, as that will break the current version of the bypass. If anything, we are to wait until a new version of the bypass is released that won't get broken by the Feb SSU, then we install the new version of the bypass, then the Feb SSU.

    Is my statement pretty much the current situation?
