    I also had installed the KB4537829 update, and all of the other suggested updates, All of them, including KB4537829, installed successfully....albeit I had close to an hour reboot time after installations (done all at once). Have no idea if the KB4537829 was the cause of this, but I look forward to March ESUs to see if the extended reboot time happens again.

    Thanks again to all those who implemented this Bypass

    Of interest, I have install KB 4537767 (Security Update for Internet Explorer) and following this I get notification by Windows update that a previous Security Update for Internet Explorer is available as an "Important Update" - I hide that one, and find again the previous month's Security Update for Internet Explorer appears, and so on, and so on. Is there a way to stop this from happening, I have to keep on hiding each of these.

    Should I just turn off Windows check for updates option??

    Either satisfy WU or ignore them, by whatever means you like.

    Isn't this fix for the wallpaper bug? The bug I am talking about popped up just 6 days ago, so after KB4539601 was released.

    So it means in order to keep Windows 7 updated after ESU has been enabled, it's not anymore possible to install updates through Windows Update ?
    In that case Windows Update manager is useless with ESU ?
    Are updates available manually only ?

    Why did you install Security Update for Internet Explorer?

    Getting Satisfy WU updates after manually applying Feb ESU updates doesn't come from not listening. It's an Ms problem not recognizing already superseded updates.
