    Among undocumented issues is that the supersedence and detection are seen differently in WSUS than in Windows Update even after importing KB3125574 in WSUS.
    However, I take your recommendation on board and not investigate any further, while using Windows Update as reference. :)

    WU = CBS supersedence only
    WSUS = CBS supersedence + metadata supersedence

    Interesting and very useful to know.
    I have always thought that WU does metadata supersedence as well.
    A bit late now because Windows 7 is on its last legs while the current versions of Windows 10/11 have already moved on. :D

    I only ment for KB3125574 case only :D
    WU indeed does metadata supersedence, for published updates

    WU don't have or get any metadata for KB3125574, installing it manually don't make a difference
    while WSUS get all the metadata (listed superseded updates) when you import it

    Thanks for clarifying. :D

    Edit: The interesting thing is that for KB3125574 the catalog actually has supersedence metadata documented which is reflected in WSUS after importing (supposedly, as I have never compared the information in both).
    Because it is not offered directly on WU, it behaves in this peculiar way which you mention and which makes complete sense.

    @abbodi1406 You're welcome. It's not easy for you to insist on sharing the compiled patch list with everyone, and there will inevitably be errors. Even saints can make mistakes sometimes. Sorry, English is not my native language, so I used a Bing translation to reply.

    The last official ESU patch was in January. Do any of these embedded patches work as a substitute?

    Embedded patches can update the core system files (which are common across ALL the Windows 6.1.7601.xxxxx (ie. Windows 7 SP1) versions). For Embedded patch versions, just using the monthly "System Only Quality Update" is a safe bet using BypassESU v12. I've yet to try going for installing the monthly Security Monthly Quality Rollup (Unless a very important monthly security issue arises, I'll save installing the Rollup for the "very last release" announced for July 2023.) That is not to say that July 2023 will be the very end of Windows 7 support, as therein remains Windows Embedded POSReady 7 ESU support until October 2024 (and they may be getting their support from the "Windows Embedded 7 Standard" titled security updates.)

    Same deal applies mostly to Windows 8.1 x86 versions (in this case it is NOT ESU support), with exception to using W8-1ESUI v0.1 installer scripts for installing Windows Embedded 8.1 "security only" updates to Windows 8.1 x86 or x64 versions (also momentarily supported until July 2023, yet there's still Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro & Enterprise support until October 2024.) The second exception, only with Windows 8.1 x64 versions there is currently a BypassESU-Blue-v1r version that provides support to mitigate ESU installing Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 security updates (including to install same updates to Windows 8.1 x64 versions.)

    At this time, the answer is up to you to decide whether making use of Windows Embedded security updates is a better substitute than nothing at all for your Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 PC machine(s) versions.

    Hello all,
    I am rather new to this but am in need of a Working Windows 7 Pro system as up to date as possible for testing a piece of software for a long outstanding bug which still exists on windows 11 to try and identify the root cause.
    To that end I have my trusty Windows 7 x64 ISO I can't tell you much about it other than the fact it is labeled GSP1RMCPRXFRER_EN_DVD, I have figured out how to use NTLite in order to do the basics but I am not sure that I am slipstreaming the right stuff I am just following as close as possible a guide on doing these things and in fact I am not even sure if my version of the DVD can have your fixes applied to it to get the latest updates.

    Can someone please advise me on the procedure as I am currently drowning in MSU's and a lot of conflicting information.

    EDITED: I forgot to mention I saw somewhere that no one can get hold of : windows6.1-kb4528069-x64_b00bef3c3a13b8bc65bfaea63426386dbb54c336.msu I have it if anyone needs it.

    1) Attached is a list I compiled for my own fast setups of Windows 7 Ultimate x86 or x64 (they also mostly apply to Windows 7 Pro). Follow this listing in this order and you're pretty much there.

    2) The MS version update of KB4528069 has a reputation to fail installation. As BypassESU was in its development stages, a pre-requisite version of KB4528069 called 'KB4528069-lite' was released that can circumvent the failings in installation of this MS update. It also is hard to find, but take it from here.

    For me, neither WU-Patcher nor the WSUS Proxy found 5026413 this time around. Worked fine last month and had no problems finding the April LCU. Not sure if this is a local problem though.
