All 2022-09/12 rollups are restored (each one replace 2022-08 rollup to fix the supersedence chain, but not each other) "2023-02" name for 2022-09 is just another mistake (update itself is not change) their obsession with ending Win7 support leaded to this mess
Metadata relation is restored for all rollups, as previously was before last Monday (except "2023-02" wrong name for 2022-09) all this trouble just to remove ESU LPP KB5016892 from Win7 metadata? it's only recognizable by WSUS anyway
All back to normal now. All of the KBs I had to hide because of the CU expiration disappeared from WU's 'Restore Hidden Updates' after running another search for updates today.
Please excuse me if this has been explained before, but what exactly does KB5016892 do? Does harden the ESU MAK license key system against bypasses and exploits? Does it add skus for additional ESU years? Is it even relevant to us?
.NET 3.5.1 is inbox unless you disable it from Program and Features, you should install its update KB5022523
I was forced to manually install KB5023769 SMQR because Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (recently installed and already up-to-date to February 2023) did not detect it when I did a "check for updates". BypassESU-v12_u was removed first, then a reboot was done, then Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher was deployed for Embedded, then another reboot was done. Windows Update still did not detect it.
Did you install LPP KB4575903? can you show this command result? Code: reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{6ACB028E-48C0-4A44-964C-E14567C578BA}\InprocServer32
abbodi1406: A fresh clean install of Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit was done in this specific desktop on February 17, 2023. My DVD install media had been created with this ISO file: and with the Simplix Update Pack for February 2023, along with its add-ons: Today was the first time that Windows Update was deployed to see if it would detect and install the March 2023 updates. The new KB5023769 security monthly quality rollup failed to be detected, even after deploying Win7_WU_ESU_Patcher for Windows 7 Embedded, so I manually installed it.
Update: On this specific desktop, the July 2020 KB4575903 ESU LPP update is installed. However, the August 2022 KB5016892 ESU LPP update is NOT installed. Should I install the newer version and then reboot and then load Windows Update and see if it works properly?
LPP KB5016892 is needed only for Server 2008 category (although you can install it anyway) what's the reg query command result? or this command: Code: wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where "(ID='4f1f646c-1e66-4908-acc7-d1606229b29e') and PartialProductKey is not null" get /value
