    It's hard to say what @Tito has in his bag of tricks. I think one possible solution would be to find, in another thread, a post of yours older than Sep 12 2025 (first post of that other ESU thread), and move that to this thread. Your first post of this thread would then slide down to #2 position, and some editing and deleting would be needed to make it look nice. We could then move posts and keep you as OP here without any trouble.

    It may be easier to just link to that other thread in first post here, and then we close it.

    In the past the admins were able to shuffle all posts into other threads without any problems, they even could start a thread in my name for the IP builds when i was not available :D

    The important info will be in this thread anyway, so all will be ok soon enough :)

    Code:
    smlgr.exe
    isn't a recognized code for me. Any other typo there?

    Really, you read the report but not the next message that it is fixed?

    @Carlos Detweiller, @CaptainKirk1966, @Enthousiast, and others

    Since it would be better to keep all Windows 10 ESU related discussions in a single thread, I'm gonna merge this one with the previous thread and do some XenForo-fu to keep things tidy.

    Locking this one till then.

    Update: Done with everything, and reopened.

    (OP)
    Fixed the exe into vbs at the OP, i never type the extensions so i mistakenly put exe there.

    Initially i put in smlgr so i thought that was the only typo :D

    Apologies to the person not getting what was fixed (can't find the reply anymore):)

    Thanks:hug2:

    - It's scary message, not Nag screen

    - It's just a high number to make the message go away, Windows will not exist in 2055 :rolleyes:

    - Unblock it

    - The message will be visible for all editions, OneSettings client fix it for non ESU-editions

    - It's stored in UsoSettings.json
    MusUpdateHandlers.dll read/control it

    - You can't remove it

    The end of support message in Windows update disappears when you add a registry but then it returns....
