    No, it is about the "Downloaded" folder. I have made an update at downloaded updates and it appered the folder "Old" along with others like " Baseline updates", "General updated", etc

    It downloads all updates for Office. For Windows, it downloads all updates and hotfixes that are not superseded. For installation, you can use abbodi1406's scripts. They are here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/abbodi1406s-batch-scripts-repo.74197/

    The list of updates for Windows 7 and 8.1 available in WHDownloader varies somewhat from what Windows Update wants. The list here is more comprehensive and less redundant than what Windows Update wants.

    By default, it downloads updates to the folder location from where the program is run, but the download location can be set to a different location by changing the "DownloadPath" setting in the config.ini file.

    -----------
    Okay, I see. Yes, you can delete those updates listed in the "Old" category.

    Sometimes updates are downloaded to one category (for example "General") but then at a later date, moved to a different category (for example, "Additional\WU.Satisfy").

    Since those updates are not superseded, the program leaves them in their original download folder but also downloads another copy to the new folder location where it's needed. The ones listed in the "Old" category are duplicates from the original location and you can manually delete those since there is another copy of them in the newer location.

    Thanks for making this useful tool. :)
    This is my first time i'm trying to integrate updates in windows iso. until now i've been using team os and gen2 os for integrated updates.
    although i've some confusion in my mind with some updates.
    1.is these updates provide defender updates? if not then how can i integrate them?
    2.in windows 7 and 8.1 updates i want to remove gwx updates,, so for that should i remove "Windows10" updates in additional updates.is this all it needed to remove gwx or do i have to remove some more updates.
    3.what is the difference between "notallowedoffline" and "donotintegrate" ? are these two type of updates is installable in setupcomplete.cmd.? if yes than pls share script for it..
    4.is windows 7 and 8.1 update 3 listed in this tool are suppose to be latest msdn iso en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso and en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_6051480.iso
    thank you very much for taking newbies questions. :)

    It seems all very clear to me.

    Defender updates are frequently newly released, really no need to integrate them (only way is by setupcomplete.cmd or in audit mode).

    in third world countries internet is sometimes a luxury. and if i integrate defender updates in win 7 then it means that defender is ready to use and can atleast fight against known viruses till date without internet. otherwise it can only fight viruses with definition of year 2011 in win 7 .
    if any kind soul know how to integrate defender and donotintegrate updates in setupcomplete.cmd then pls share it.
    thank you.

    2. There no GWX updates, eben the WUC updates that ment to upgrade to W10 have no affect now, since the upgrade through WU is ended
    you can skip "Windows10" updates to avoid Telemetry
    however, Security Mobthly Quality Rollup have some part of telemetry, which can be easily disabled
    see MonthlyQualityRollup-Notice.txt for mor info

    3. No difference, just a different words
    both means the updates that need be installed directly from msu file on live running OS

    4. Yes they are

    I don't know for W8.1, but for W7: the KBs that require online installation are: 2603229, 2646060 (if AMD CPU), 3046269 and 3177467. You can install them from setupcomplete.cmd and choose (except for the latter) doing so in GDR or LDR "mode" (choose according to what you picked when using abbodi's script).

    In the following scripts x64 bit OS is assumed and paths "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\Windows6.1-KBKBNUMBER-x64.cab" or "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\_xcab\update-bf.mum" are relative to where setupcomplete.cmd is executed from (usually %SYSTEMROOT%\Setup\Scripts).

    In order to get required CAB/EXE/MUM files from initial MSU files you have to:

    1. Extract Windows6.1-KBKBNUMBER-x64.cab from MSU (you can use 7zip) to corresponding "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\" folder
    2. Expand CAB file (open cmd in "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\" folder): expand.exe -f:* "Windows6.1-KBKBNUMBER-x64.cab" "_xcab"
    3a. If GDR mode: Copy EXE file from _xcab subfolder to "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\" and delete _xcab subfolder.
    or
    3b. If LDR mode: Copy EXE file from _xcab subfolder to "_online_msu\KBNUMBER\", keep _xcab subfolder and delete Windows6.1-KBKBNUMBER-x64.cab

    Scripts follow:

    GDR mode:
    Code:
    @echo off
    pushd %~dp0
    
    :: Apply online updates
    
    start "" /w _online_msu\2603229\updatewowregisteredowner.exe
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\2603229\Windows6.1-KB2603229-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    :: Uncomment if AMD CPU
    ::start "" /w _online_msu\2646060\disablecp.exe
    ::dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\2646060\Windows6.1-KB2646060-v3-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart
    ::timeout 5
    
    start "" /w _online_msu\3046269\CleanupWindowsDefenderTasks.exe
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\3046269\Windows6.1-KB3046269-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\3177467\Windows6.1-KB3177467-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    

    LDR mode
    Code:
    @echo off
    pushd %~dp0
    
    :: Apply online updates
    
    start "" /w _online_msu\2603229\updatewowregisteredowner.exe
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\2603229\_xcab\update-bf.mum /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    :: Uncomment if AMD CPU
    ::start "" /w _online_msu\2646060\disablecp.exe
    ::dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\2646060\_xcab\update-bf.mum /Quiet /NoRestart
    ::timeout 5
    
    start "" /w _online_msu\3046269\CleanupWindowsDefenderTasks.exe
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\3046269\_xcab\update-bf.mum /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    dism /LogLevel:1 /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:_online_msu\3177467\Windows6.1-KB3177467-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart
    timeout 5
    
    

    EDIT: Corrected Windows6.1-KB2646060-x64.cab to Windows6.1-KB2646060-v3-x64.cab

    How do you use the WHDownloader to update the .iso that was previously used to integrate updates?

    I used your batch script to integrate updates and some error occurred when doing so. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong.

    What is the purpose of this:

    %_reg% add "HKLM\%ksub2%\ControlSet001\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters" /f /v "OptionalNames" /t REG_SZ /d aliasname >nul

    ... in "WHD-Windows7-Updates-Installer_2.7" ?
