    Hi abbodi1406,
    General question regarding WHD:

    I am afraid Windows 7 & Office 2010 updates will disappear (Microsoft stops providing them);
    I would like to download all update installers for future use.

    Can I do this with WHD?

    If I already have preinstalled updates, will they appear in WHD?
    How do I know the correct order of updates (& which ones are covered in "rollup updates")?

    That's the whole purpose of WHD, downloading ALL possible updates.
    Yes, WHD is not linked to your install.
    By using WHD-W7UI it will all be automated.

    Recommended order
    General > Hotfix > Additional > Security

    read Extra-Updates-Info.txt to see if you need any of the updates (generally you don't need any)

    all updates are applicable and needed with Monthly Rollup
    except WithoutKB3125574, those are superseded and kept for reference

    if you have ESU licenses or use the Bypass, then you don't need updates in Security\WithoutESU

    I downloaded and installed the entire updates from WHD (W7UI_6.5), but these 17 updates unable to download.
    WHD says I downloaded them already, but when I check the folders, the updates is not there.
    Log attached.

    Edit: Any idea?

    Almost more than 10 times I relaunch WHD haha, but yes I'm still wondering, if the updates is replaced by something more up-to-date then it should keep downloaded but not installed (with a warning or so). Just a quick suggestions to the author(s).

    Hello,
    Using WHD-W81UI and 6.3.9600.19780 (W8.1 RTM x64) on a Live system, do I need to run 1) 'Cleanup' or "Cleanup and ResetBase"?
    2) Run LDRbranch? - does it only concern W7?
    3) Inside the W8UI script nor in the .ini/config file does it mention Security Updates, only Hotfixes. When do the Sec. Updates run? (after General or after Hotfixes)
    EDIT -- Concerning Cleanup, if I don't use WUs do I need to compress/hide
    superseded items?
    I guess someone needs to hold my hand and explain it to me,
    Thanks
