    @RicaNeaga: Thanks, but not sure exactly what you meant by adding 2658846 and 2492386 to IE9 folder, or what the platform update in your link has to do with it? 2658846 and 2492386 are not IE9 updates, or did you mean that those won't be needed when installing IE10 and the platform update or something?

    I've almost installed all updates on the x86 VM, so I'll soon update my posted x86 list as well with any changes. It's not definitive, just the best I can come up with :D

    In the IE9 folder are NOT IE9 needed updates, but updates that are superseded by KB2670838, a prerequisite of IE10. So if you install IE10, that means you install first KB2670838, so you don't need those. :)

    You can install Windows 7 with these hotfix?
    It's just with this file, I meet a problem.

    Thanks

    OK, on a x86 VM install (with IE9) with the list I previously posted, WU offered the following updates:

    critical:
    2658846 (was not in my list) (now added)
    2676562 (was not in my list) (now added)
    2799494 (was not in my list) (now added)

    optional:
    2670838 (platform update, IE10, etc.) (ignore)
    2679255 (was not in my list) (now added)
    2786400 (was in my list -- WU, GDR, or manual install needed)

    So I will add KB2658846, KB2676562, KB2799494, and KB2679255 to my x86 list in earlier post.

    Again, as with x64, KB2786400 would not via the v27j script so I had to install it via WU instead.

    KB2488113 (x86) was also 'not applicable', as was the case for x64.

    For the WU satisfy updates, the LDR component (the functioning component) is installed, it's just the GDR component which is required to satisfy Windows Update that isn't. Ideally you install as few of these non-active updates as possible. One of the problems of WU determination is that it can vary from system to system depending on previous state of install (that is, fresh system or an install that's 2 years old). List the updates that still show in WU after using the installer and I'll add it to the WU Satisfy list. Like I said though, these updates are installed correctly despite showing in WU :)

    @parapher It's weird you got three kernel related updates - 2679255, 2676562 and 2799494. They're somehow WU satisfy related updates, however I think something went wrong, maybe it was best to re-run KB947821-v26 and try again to check for updates. :)

    I think it's just these, Burfadel:

    x64:
    kb2757638
    kb2786400

    x86:
    kb2786400

    They were present in the folders in which I ran your script, but WU still offered them afterwards.

    OK, I'm just capturing the image right now, after which I'll get back into that VM and run the readiness tool ;)

    Just ran KB947821-v26 and ran WU again, no further updates offered.

    Ok, It's weird that it's good for you with windows 7 and for me, it does not work.
    You integrate the two hotfixes and you can install Windows 7 in UEFI without problem, then?

    You can tell me "date" (digital signature) of "Bootmgfw.efi" file in Windows\Boot\EFI

    Thanks

    EDIT: you can integrate the two hotfixes with WinToolkit?
    Even KB2757588? is not really a .cab (But archive), No?

    Thanks! I'll add them to the installer so they'll be there for the next update :)

    When you add the update to the WU-satisfy list, is that the same as saying that update will then not install in LDR mode? Or is there a way to both get the functional files out of the update (LDR) and still satisfy WU? Even though a satisfied WU can be nice, it would indeed be preferable to have the newest file versions inside an update, rather than having WU behave.

    With a WU satisfy update, when both LDR and GDR versions are present the LDR version of the update is still force installed and active, the GDR versions of the WU satisfy update is installed (to satisfy WU) but remains inactive. Basically the installer will install and have active the best version available for each update, as long as that update is applicable (as determined through DISM). The installer can be used with any mix of updates, but of course ideally you use the hotfix repository, in which case all the updates should be applicable. The only times that updates aren't applicable is where they are for a feature that you don't have, such as some server updates. You can remove these by choosing option 4 in the install menu.

    i dont know this solution can fix your problem or not .... i think is not the windows UEFI boot problem ,maybe is windows 7 installation UEFI problem

    1.extract KB2757588.cab (should have Bootmgfw.efi & Wdsmgfw.efi)
    2.in the installation folder copy the efi\microsoft\boot folder up one level into the efi folder as efi\boot
    3.select the KB2757588 bootmgfw.efi and rename to bootx64.efi
    4.Copy/Move the renamed bootx64.efi file into the efi/boot

    hope this can help fix your problem .... glad your problem can be solve ...
