    Ok, can you now run:
    Code:
    dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    And report the results?

    Thanks a million!

    Glad to hear :)
    KB4537829 is feb SSU so in complement you need to install either "feb security only" KB4537813 or "feb rolluup" KB4537820

    New question for me: So if you you install kb4537829 and kb4537820, you don't need Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64/x86-based systems (KB4537767)?

    (Sorry if this question's redundant, but I didn't see anything that specifically addresses this.)
    Thanks, got it.

    So with that I'll be good til March, right?

    afaik, when (feb SSU + feb Rollup) are installed, it's not needed.

    it should be but no one knows.
    If MS finds out about KB4528069 loophole, it won't work anymore but @abbodi1406 will surely find a solution so that people continue to install next ESU updates. :)

    ok so uninstall it then reinstall it then reboot the machine.
    Do not uninstall it from the registry , just uninstall it the usual way from "windows update"
    Then try again to install either (feb SSU + feb Rollup) OR (feb SSU + security only) and see what happens.

    i edited the message.
    Do not uninstall KB4536952 from the registry , just uninstall it the usual way from "windows update".
    click on "installed updates" then click on the update then right click then uninstall.

    I keep trying to find it.
    %windir%\logs\CBS\Checks ur.log
    I can't find that location
    Never mind, I found it. Access is denied when I try to open CBS text file.
    Tried elevated command to path notepad %windir%\logs\CBS\Checks ur.log Nothing found. Cannot get to it.
    There is a CheckSUR text file. (System Update Readiness) dated the time I ran the scan. Not located in the CBS file. The summary says
    Seconds executed: 510
    Found 95 errors
    Fixed 95 errors

    I'll try that and post back.. I am assuming the OPTIONAL "preview of monthly rollup didn't have to be installed" I never install those.

    Ok, I tried "msie11 + sec only update".
    I downloaded the four files (2x64 + 2x86); I suppose it's normal that the two x86 won't install.
    I successfully installed KB4537767(x64).
    I also successfully installed KB4537813(x64) on the second attempt. On the first try I got the 80092004 error; no idea why.
    Is there anything else I need to do? Should I install KB4537829 (Feb. 2020 SSU)? (Is it still what should be done?)
    In any case, thank you. I didn't understand the script had done its job.

    you only have to install updates that correspond to the arch of your win7 installed edition
    if your win7 edition is 32 bits => you need to install x86 updates
    if your win7 edition is 64 bits => you need to install x64 updates

    Yes it has to be installed otherwise you won't be able to install next march "security only" ESU.

    Hi everyone:
    Just want to make sure I will be able to receive the March updates:
    Everything is working well on Win 7 with what I have installed so far (using regular version of the ESU bypass--not the lite version) up to KB4537820 is installed except I have held off on February installing SSU KB4537829 which has been claimed to kill the bypass. Should I still hold off on installing KB4537829 and still wait for the March SSU? Thanks
