    Language barriers do make things more difficult, that's for sure. Your English is quite good though, so no problems there in regards to communications. KB890830 is offered regularly, in fact every month, so that's where the confusion may lie. And yes, you can install that update with confidence any time it appears in your Windows Updater (WU), even if you installed it at some earlier point. Whether we will continue to see that one offered via WU only time will tell. More than likely it will become but another exclusive MS Updates Catalog download for all of us unwashed Bypass users. You can find it sitting there comfortably as we speak.

    As for KB4539601, yes you can install that one too. This is the January 31 Preview of the February Monthly Rollup. But as was stated earlier, this one was superseded by the February Monthly Rollup KB4537820 so if you already installed KB4537820, there is no need to install KB4539601 any longer since both are cumulative updates, and related (overlapping) to each other (digital incestuousness so to speak, though I don't know how well that translates into French → numérique ménage à trois, er, deux? :p:oops:). You can hide it instead (right click, hide update). Both of these updates will correct the so called black screen problem introduced when KB4534310 (the January "Quality" *cough* Rollup) was rolled out.

    Now if you experience any problems as you move along, you can always remove the Bypass fix. Wait till next month at this same approximate time (that is, on patch Tuesday [= second Tuesday] in March) to see what measures or tweaks may be needed regarding the Bypass going forward -- yes right here, same place, same time. Per the OP, an alternative bypass package is being prepared by a very crafty team of elves as we speak. Hope this helps mon ami.

    Hi snoot, thanks for answering, but maybe you are wrong. I decided to test it, so on a virtual machine I selected the “Stretch” wallpaper option, then I installed the january Rollup KB4534310, and after that I got a black desktop. Then I installed the February security only KB4537813 and after a restart I have my wallpaper showing on the desktop again with the stretch option still selected.

    Isn't that only worthwhile if you never installed any rollups before? What about the people that have been installing rollups for years?

    I checked the guide, it really is alot of work to switch, we are talking about tons of updates released each month since 2016, there's also the risk that you might mess up somewhere or that something could go wrong.

    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.
    ====================
    Not sure what's causing your boot files to get nicked and that temporary profile to be created, but it's highly doubtful it's the Bypass or more would be complaining about this. Before trying to set things right with registry tweaks, did you try a second reboot immediately after the first to see if your profile was recreated correctly? Often times that's all it takes. Beyond that, who knows what's going on there. Maybe bring back more feedback as you try a few more things.
    =====================
    I tried rebooting. Same thing. THEN I tried messing with profiles. I know the rollup works because I have an ESU license for another computer and it installed perfectly. When I said in that post that I first installed all the required updates I was referring to Microsoft's required updates. I installed the same updates for both the computer with the licensed ESU and the one with the Bypass.

    Why installing the Feb. 2020 SSU instead of the Jan. 2020 SSU? In the past you recommended to NOT install it.

    I didn't recommend not to install it, i said it will break the working of the bypass and now we found a method that allows to install all ESU stage updates.

    I think it won't hurt to ask: are there any risks if I don't update my W7 system for now?

    That will leave possible vulnerabilities in your install unpatched.

    The ESU bypass enables you to update, why not use it?

    Hello folks,

    is it possible to use ONLY security-only-updates with ESU?
    I want avoid using rollups/cumulative updates.

    I can't install test-update KB4528069, it fails every time. :(

    If the ESU-check suppressing update (KB4528069) fails, the others will fail too, did you install the feb. ssu?

    You can check this official tutorial:

    yes it is possible. you can only install security-only-updates with KB4537767 if you use IE11 to avoid telemetry.
    Regarding KB4528069, it probably failed to install because of missing updates.

    Make sure that these 3 prerequisites updates are installed on your machine before installing the bypass :

    KB4490628 -> KB4474419 -> reboot -> kb4536952

    if one of them is missing, download them from MS server.

    After that, install the bypass and this time KB4528069 should install successfully.

    They do not include Telemetry in every month's patches, if they do it will be in BOTH the Monthly Rollup and the Security Only <<------!
    As they did in July 2019:

    Warning for group B Windows 7 users!
    The “July 9, 2019—KB4507456 (Security-only update)” is NOT “security-only” update.

    Disabling (or deleting) these schedule tasks after installation (before reboot) should be enough to turn off the appraiser

    \Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\ProgramDataUpdater
    \Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser
    \Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\AitAgent

    As you can see its a piece of cake to disable/delete this Telemetry..
    Think About Windows 10...

    Before October 2016 individual patches could be skipped, whether because they included telemetry, or had a buggy effect on your individual system**
    They cannot be avoided in the Monthly Rollups.
    Security Only patches still have all security patches for that month.
    **Thats why..

    There is also a Group W:
    Group W– doesn’t want anything from Microsoft — no patches, no security updates, nada.
    You can join them any time :)

    what about the bypass ? have you installed it ?
    if it is not installed, KB4528069 will fail so the bypass has to be installed before insalling KB4528069.

    Did you install the feb. ssu? then it will break the bypass function, remove it and follow the tutorial.
