    They actually got restored with the release of Preview Rollup KB4338821

    both are showing here without installing any updates

    Looks like Microsoft may be up to there old tricks again. They are starting a new push to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. Why am I posting in Windows 7 Hotfix ? Because in the past small pop-up files were imbedded in CU's and Hotfix's. Reminders on why Win 10 is so much better that Win 7 in the form of pop-ups etc. In this Thread in the past, there were lists of KB's not to install because of reminders imbedded.
    If you don't think they would do this, remember THIS IS Microsoft.
    I wrote this in part from comments made by Louisa Gauthier, product and marketing leader, Microsoft at the company’s Inspire event.

    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
