    That is the update that will suppress all ESU checks, so that all ESU stage updates will install, with the bypass removed.

    @Enthousiast: I didn't remove the bypass at all and everything worked perfectly anyway. Hence my question, could it be better to have the test update for the future. And also the thought, since this update is no longer officially available, would the installation still work.

    Ok, I have simply done it. The installation of the test update KB4528069 was successful and is flagged as "important" in the update history :)

    I don't know who posted this or why, but it is obviously racist and an insult to this website. It should be removed, and the writer should be permanently banned.

    I strongly encourage everyone to report this post to the site owners.

    To the poster ...
    Unless someone hacked your account or otherwise posted falsely using your name, your comment is an embarrassment to yourself and an insult to the other members.

    In any case, please edit or delete it.

    I reported it when there were no replies after and the post is still here. I wonder what timezone the mods are in because this has been up for a more than unacceptable period of time at this point.

    Hi, thanks for your answer, and thanks again for the bypass!!

    Just one question: If I switch from group A to Group B this month, do I have to install KB4539602 or it is superseded by kb4537813?

    Tried this twice with same result:
    1. All Microsoft prerequisite updates installed.
    2. Ran Bypass correctly
    3. Downloaded February monthly rollup
    4. Ran installer
    5. Boot files hosed causing logon with temporary profile.
    6. System Restore

    I even tried restoring the Bak file it created renaming the new (temporary )profile in the registry
    It simply recreated it upon reboot hosing the boot files. Something isn't right.

    Hi, I've installed the bypass, installed kb4528069, rebooted, installed kb4537767 and kb4537813, pressed restart in the start menu and then this happened:
    the laptop was shutting down at first and then it displayed the ''preparing to configure windows updates, please don't shut down the computer'' or something to this effect. Usually this message is displayed for like 10 seconds and then you get some percentages but the screen was stuck on this message for about 40-50 minutes and after that it suddenly shut down. Then it started up and when it got past the windows logo with black background I've got the usual percentages (15% to be exact) and then it went up a few times until it reached 30% and it shut down. It repeated starting up and shutting down with the percentage goinng up inbetween about 6-7 times (unusual). After the percentage went to 100% it restarted for the last time and booted as normal. The updates kb4537767 and kb4537813 show up as successful in the update history.

    My question is, am I secure now? Should I try uninstalling some updates and reinstalling again? Completely reinstall windows? I've tried something slightly different on my other computer and it didn't do what my laptop did, the percentages showed up after a few seconds and it rebooted like once or twice. Should I be worried?

    Well said! - I mean gee it's a new situation for everyone - yet simple enough, a minor issue on actual updates tue - but solution quickly found through reports and admin/dev - including myself which I tested on 3 systems all went well. A lot of posts reflect criticism/impatience/misunderstanding of use.
    Again - really appreciate the work done on this tool/project as it was prepared ahead of time - and though any minor issue resolved manually for time being - I'm sure there are alternative measures under way soon. Cheers & thanks to all who make it possible!

    I installed kb4537813 first and I didn't reboot. After that I installed kb4537767 but this didn't work. It didn't stop searching for updates (maybe I could have waited for 40-50 minutes like you). I was only able to install kb4537767 after a reboot, then everything was fine. Maybe your problem was caused because you installed both without reboot, and kb4537767 first ? You can check the update history whether everything is installed properly.

    Sorry, I didn't think that writing the order was important but I installed kb4537813 and then kb4537767 and restarted.

    As I wrote, on my computer I wasn't able to install both updates without rebooting in-between. (I haven't waited 40-50 minutes though and simply canceled the second update). You can check the update history whether everything is installed properly:
    1. Click on Start > Control panel > Windows Update.
    2. Click on the "View update history" link.
