    @Enthousiast even if he were to do it, he'd have multiple duplicate entries in add/remove programs panel for vc++ runtimes. Whereas using the repack would be much cleaner.

    What's the difference between 'Windows Update Client for Windows 7 (KB3138612)' and '2019-03 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 (KB4490628)'? Does an SSU install a new Windows Update Client?

    SSU = the stack that install other updates
    WUC = the search engine for Windows Update, which use SSU in return

    I've been using the Simplix Pack for some time now to keep my Windows 7 Pro. installation up to date. However, I think I am right in saying that all support, even extended support, for Win 7 ends in January 2023 (which is only a few weeks away at this point in time). So can anyone say when will be the last issue/final issue of the Simplix Pack? Is there an issue in January and then Simplix comes to an end? Or is there some other known date for which Simplix comes to an end?

    When there are no updates to install/integrate it will stop eventually.

    Hello, I installed Bypass ESU v9, got a lot of pending updates but when trying to install the KB5020000 I get the error 800F0816. The OS (Win 7 pro) is not able to start after the installation and I have to do a system restore. The same happens with the KB5021291 (error 80242016).

    I'm wondering if the simplix pack would fix this by installing an alternative/replacement and if it would detect automatically the updates already installed and only install what is missing/faulty.
    Thank you.

    It should scan for missing updates and install them, you can try to run the pack renamed to:

    Hi,

    After adding the latest pack on a clean image, after install Windows update gives these updates:

    * KB2823180 (WMF 3.0 update)
    * KB947821 (SUR)
    * KB3172605 (WU scan is fast enough)
    * KB5010798 (out of the band 2022-01 for server issues)

    * 2022-10 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB5018547 (WU installs KB5013637 from it)

    As those are not included in the pack. Those are not really required? (Especially KB2823180 - KB3172605) It doesn't harm to install those anyway, right?

    Thx!

    AFAIK, Simplix Pack don't include WMF 3.0 or any WMF version

    KB3172605 is not old (superseded) or ment only to fix WU scan, but it may cause issues with Bluetooth or EMET, so it's excluded

    So the next version should be the final one, it's the end of an era...Thank you Simplix for the continuous update, your update pack will probably continue to be used as the ultimate update for Windows 7 & 2008R2.

    @rhreznor No. Either:
    a) run it on a live installed windows 7 sp1 media refresh system with the .wa addons in the same folder
    b) drag&drop a windows 7 sp1 media refresh iso onto the updatepack.exe with the .wa addons in the same folder
