    shhnedo, thank you

    it totally slipped my mind. i realized it was still January right after i posted. silly me

    so will the new updates begin to appear in the Windows Update app built-into in Win7? or will i have to download them all manually from micosoft's catelog?

    and are there any work arounds for integrating updates? i sometimes have to install windows on hundreds of computers at a time and i want to streamline the process

    Sounds like you AV may have deleted or quarantined it. Check your AV or shut down your AV and redownload.

    Please use a recent 7-Zip or WinRAR version. Older versions might not know how to handle newer compression algorithms or encryption schemes (like LZMA2 or AES256).

    You should get all security-only updates (unless you want to avoid 2 of them that have telemetry)
    specially KB4534314 from January 2020

    AFAIK, Security-only updates 2019-07 and 2019-09 contain Telemetry.

    Well, "excludes" is wrong. Simplix uses full Rollups, which include Telemetry files. However, any Telemetry will be muted.

    Are there any known others?

    I'm in a similar situation as solarstone2149, stopped updating in 2015 and since then I only have the WannaCry and Spectre/Meltdown patches

    Please note that Simplix will deactivate all Telemetry. However, it cannot prevent the actual files from being installed, as they are included in the CUs (installing a CU Rollup is an atomic operation, selective install isn't possible). The files are there, but will not do anything.

    I've always used Security-only updates with hard-blocked Telemetry files. The only ones I couldn't install were the two mentioned.

    Ah I see, updates via Simplix have telemtry disabled. I guess I'll use that for updating
