    It's pulled from catalog, because it was the update that suppressed the ESU check, now it's not even needed anymore.

    That never was an update on WU.

    The purpose of the subject of this thread (the updatepack) is to not have to use WU at all, but it patches WU so people who still want to use WU can update their live install.

    If I use it on a live system updated with a previous pack, what will happen to those replaced and removed updates? Like KB4528069 which is removed in the newest pack and KB4577051 which replaces KB4571729 in the previous pack.
    And what if I used another update program before like Integrate7? Are the updates in them the same, if not, what will happen to those different updates?

    They should get removed by the pack.

    Is it a live OS updating tool?

    I'd like to install W7 to a Ryzen desktop with a SATA HDD (not NVMe). I believe at the very least I'd need to integrate USB 3.* drivers into the install image in order to boot the W7 from USB. Would I be able to take a MSDN/clean iso of W7, run the update pack on the install.wim from that image (which seems to integrate USB drivers by-default), and then simply install it?

    I'm trying to figure out if I can just use this update pack as-is, or if I'd be better off with one of the other pinned tools to create W7 install media. I don't mind installing drivers/software post-install nor do I believe I need addons or anything special.

    Edit: Did both; the media I made with just the update pack by itself had broken USB support when the installer started (keyboard/mouse went off and stayed off). Used the stickied tool no problem (installed fine with working USB)

    Also for anyone interested in Oculus VR:

    • You need to run the setup executable with the /bypassHotfixCheck flag or else the installer complains about needing two updates that are already installed: OculusSetup.exe /bypassHotfixCheck
    • The Oculus client only shows the original Rift as being available to set-up (on W10, it also shows Rift S and Quest; presumably those aren't supported on W7)
    • Motion-to-photon latency with Beat Saber is virtually the same as on 1809/LTSC (20-21ms), but higher than 2004/20H1 (19-21ms)
    • There is no Virtual Desktop option from Oculus (not sure if SteamVR works)

    Only when you run the pack on boot too, only then it will be able to boot from USB3.x ports. Or use the MDL SiMPLiX AiO ISO tool.

    I have no clue about oculus and why i would need it, for modern hardware it's best to run a modern OS, like win 10 or at least 8.1.

    one of the switches indicates to use
    /NVMe - integrates NVMe support(KB2990941-v3-x86-x64 and KB3087873-v2-x86-x64) into the install.wim and winre.wim

    however, I did not use this switch, I do not wish to use nvme at all, however it looks like KB2990941 is still getting installed, probably other as well, is this normal? thanks

    That switch doesn't do anything since simplix turned it off inside the pack.

    did not know that, that wasn't indicated in the first post :|

    so nvme drivers get installed regardless?

    (OP)
    The updatepack installs these by default to recovery.

    The first post contains a lot of old crap from before i was asked to take over the thread, when i have time i will clean all up and remove the obsolete info.

    after integration install.wim is quite large even after optimize switch, is it better to convert to install.esd? thanks

    With install.esd it will be very small.

    Is the full Simplix Update Pack 20.1.17 file still available for download?
    The link to the MEGA site says it's no longer available.

    I previously tried that link.
    It downloads a small 1 MB size file.
    When you run it, it downloads the most current version (20.9.10) and not the version (20.1.17) I'm wanting to use for testing purposes.
