    That tool is not a simplix based tool? If not, then you have to ask there, simplix already uses a CPU compat check removing utility.

    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit, then ran Simplix Update Pack 20.6.20 (includes add-ons), then installed the necessary drivers, then configured the computer to my personal taste, then ran Windows Update.

    The important and optional updates that appeared weren't needed or were very outdated, so I hid all of them when they appeared.

    Windows 7 and IE 11 and MNF 4.8 are up-to-date through June 2020.

    Today is July 2020 "patch Tuesday", so I'm waiting to see what updates become available, and if WU will detect and install them, or if they'll need to be manually obtained and installed.



    Update:

    The security monthly quality rollup(KB4565524) and servicing stack update(KB4565324) appeared in Windows Update and installed successfully.

    The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 security update(KB4566517) appeared in Windows Update, but it displayed a "code 643" message and failed to install.

    Only after I ran the BypassESU-v7 tool and selected option #7, did it successfully install.

    What does the pack do if run without renaming and switches? I don't see this mentioned in the first post.

    I hadn't tested Simplix Update Pack 20.7.15 since it was released 4 days ago, so I did it today in my Dell OptiPlex 980.
    These are the steps I used and what the end results were:

    1. Did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.

    2. Ran Simplix Update Pack 20.7.15 (which included add-ons for IE 11 and MNF 4.8 and MVC++ 2005-2019)
    It ran unattended and installed updates in 4 separate groups, and then it ran Disk Cleanup.

    3. Installed necessary drivers (chipset, graphics, audio, ethernet).

    4. Established internet connection and activated Windows 7.

    5. Made all desired setting and personalization and other changes.

    6. Started Windows Update and checked for updates.
    1 important and 6 optional updates were displayed - which were all very outdated and were hidden.
    A second check for updates displayed nothing further.

    7. Ran BypassESU-v7 to see which options it would display.
    It displayed 2 options:
    [3] Install WU ESU Patcher
    [7] Install .NET 4 ESU Bypass
    The tool was exited without taking any action.

    8. Checked Windows update history.
    It was determined that all updates up to July 2020 for Windows 7 and IE 11 and MNF 4.8 had been installed.

    The damage is minor and should not affect the installation of updates. You can additionally check the system using SmartFix, it disables SRP. Also, make sure that the antivirus does not interfere with the launch of programs.

    KB4566517 is included - if you have the Microsoft .NET Framework add-on integrated into Simplix Update Pack 20.7.15.

    After running the pack, KB4566517 is offered for download by Windows Update. Shouldn't this be already installed by the pack?
