    If using the UpdatePack as is, then no, there's no way to skip IE integration.

    had to start over with new setup

    This time I did ZERO fiddling, just installed SP1 and a sfc /scannow to verify all is ok. Then I run the update /s /fixon

    The switch for msie11 is removed long time ago, msie11 is now always installed.

    Just rename the pack to UpdatePack7R2--++.exe and run it on a live system.

    So, I've installed the UpdatePack7R2-22.5.13 on a Win7 machine that didn't have any ESU's before, and it seems to proceed ok, listed installing various KB, but I don't see any of them appearing in the control panel list of updates thereafter. I didn't see any rollback messages tough, like someone else did above. So, are the updates installed by this UpdatePack method usually not showing up in the control panel list of updates? Or is it more likely something went silently wrong?

    I don't see any new updates logged in C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log either, after running that file, even though it took a good number of minutes and like 3 reboot to complete. Disk free space did go down by some 2.5GB though.

    Updates installed by the pack will not appear in "Update history", that's normal, but, they should appear in "Installed updates".

    The simplix update installation log is called and to be found in: "C:\Windows\UpdatePack7.log".

    Found it. It matches roughly what I saw on screen. No errors, but it installed only 9 updates, which seems a bit low. There's also a Scan file there, with messages in Russian, which mostly seem to say that the other updates don't apply.

    It scans for already installed updates and only applies the ones needed.

    On a system with an already existent windows 7 installation with updates, the updatepack will (probably) never install all the updates. On a fresh install of a media refresh iso it will install roughly 55-56 updates in waves.

    Beech @Enthousiast being faster again...

    I see from MS docs that KB5014012 (May 2022 update) is cumulative, so that explains why only a few KBs got installed.

    Yeah, @simplix started to use LCU's a while back, decreasing the amount of updates to be installed/integrated.

    Adding the Convenience Rollup KB3125574 to the pack is what actually eliminated a lot of old individual updates

    After installing the May 13 simplix, I'm being offered KB5013870 through Windows update. It definitely wasn't installed by simplix, I checked the wmic qfe etc. This KB5013870 is some kind of extra May 10 update for dotnet. (Although it may have just been the regular patch Tuesday.) The description of KB5013870 from MS says something about ESU, so will this just work installed from MS over simplix or does it need SxS ESU patching etc. beforehand to succeed?
