    The lists are updated when there are new updates available.

    WU does install SSU's, you only don't see it happen in WU or WU History, they are shown in "Installed Updates", this has been ever since CU+SSU are handled by the UUP system.

    Well, but like I said before, there are times when there's a new update available in WU on in this forum but not in WHDownloader. Can you answer the remaining questions?

    It's all done manually, and abbodi is not always instantly availaible for the updating, but mostly he is.

    I want to do offline integration of WHD updates 7 to a win7 iso. I always got error on on windows 10 host.

    Does his whd win7 installer support windows 10?

    md C:\Mount
    dism.exe /Mount-Wim /Wimfile:"extracted iso path\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:C:\Mount

    then after integrating updates:


    dism.exe /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\Mount /Commit

    i don't think it matters which OS you use to integrate win7 updates, whatever the os which is used, the integration process should work.
    What is the exact error message that you receive and when does this error message appear ?
    you can use Simplix Pack to integrate win7 updates offline, it's very easy to use => https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...egrate-hotfixes-into-win7-distribution.45005/ (go to Using UpdatePack7R2 part to know how to use the tool to integrate updates correctly)

    after a long time, update appeared in whd as 0.0.2.3 and many features are work in progress.i have one request to make. pls add downloaded windows update verification tool, so we can be sure that all downloaded updates are perfectly fine in terms of file integrity.

    i think this can be achieved without using file hashes.when we run an update, it checks for integrity before executing itself.
    by some script whd developers can temporarily run updates in batch and log for integrity check and stop update before they can execute itself.

    or just attach a .sha1 file for all updates.
    thank you.

    Be sure to get it from the download location in Alphawaves's post: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/whdownloader-download.66243/

    If you get it from there, 67 out of 68 AVs (including Malwarebytes) show it as clean on VirusTotal. The one that flags it as unsafe (Cylance) is a false positive.

    That host used to have an option that needed to be unchecked before downloading, otherwise it would use their downloader or something and that could sometimes trigger AVs.

    But I don't see that option any more so I'm not sure what would be causing it to be flagged for you.

    If it really was a malicious link, many more people than just you would've have posted by now, considering Alphawaves has had it there for several years now. :) It's perfectly safe.

    If you still are concerned, you can download it from MajorGeeks. But it looks like they have the previous version (0.0.2.2) there.

    I gave MG a heads-up on Alphawaves's new version and the good guys there updated their page to the latest (0.0.2.3).

    So now there should be at least three reliable and secure download sources, with Alphawaves's two locations in his post and MajorGeeks' updated link.
