    Yes, but it's only available to Enterprise and Professional customers with volume licensing that have to pay a fee to MS, to keep on getting updates up to 2023.

    Unfortunately for other editons of Windows 7, the EOS date still stands.

    It's abit strange because windows 7 embedded POS is getting updates until october 2021 anyway so why not push those updates out to everyone instead?

    I suspect when push comes to shove if windows 7 still has over a third of all desktop marketshare come the end of 2019 M$ will end up changing it's update policy for all editions once again,they have done it multiple times now with windows 10.

    Not possible in Windows 7

    you could automate GUI task via sageset/sagerun
    e.g.
    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Update Cleanup" /f /v StateFlags0016 /t REG_DWORD /d 2
    cleanmgr /sagerun:16

    Monthly Rollups are not close to being Cumulative
    you will need plenty of individual updates
