Update pack (cumulative): https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4558998
Uneventfully I went from *.900 to Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.959]. I correctly am still not offered 2004.
KB4565636 should say “Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1”
Thanks Martin for all the great info. Win 8.1 Monthly Rollup, Servicing Stack and .Net Rollup (KB4566519) all installed without issue (Macrium image created first). All telemetry tasks/services are still disabled and everything appears to be working normally.
BypassESU v7 still works with Windows 7 Professional x86 and x64, updated without a hitch. If you use Avast, disable it before updating. 2004, zero issues so far..
Why would you install a virus such as Avast anyways?
I used your method, was able to install KB4566517, so thanks I guess…
This update ….. up mi PC. My proccesor i7 6700hq is stuck at 0.80 ghz. What the hell, what do I do now!!!!????!!!!
Microsoft announced a sever level 10, Server DNS security bug CVE-2020-1350 – Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-1350
just an hour ago an ex-collegue called me and said to NOT install on DC with DNS role until patch of the patch is released.
just saying 0-o
This is a must have patch

“The ESU_LOCK workaround is removed and no longer working”
Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell is workable, and causes less of a headache. It’s certain that MS will continue to break ESU hacks.
‘Keep it simple’ obviously isn’t Microsoft’s catch-phrase where Windows 10 is concerned.
Computers were once heralded as probably the greatest technical tool for mankind’s progress. Seems to me much of mankind is now so preoccupied with the ongoing task and convolutions of keeping said computers updated, that mankind’s technical progress has slowed greatly since the introduction of W10.
;-)
Windows 8.1 x86/x64 comes with .NET 4.5.1 by default, I’ve never needed to update .NET as our installed programs don’t require it.
Martin, I have a couple of questions:
Why isn’t there a security update for .NET 4.5.1 as per ALL the other .NET versions?
Has it been overlooked by MS or is it simply not affected by the remote code execution vulnerability?
And before anyone mentions ‘update to .NET 4.5.2 or above’, I won’t as our systems are not asking for it and is obviously not required.
to answer my own question; it was depreciated:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/support-ending-for-the-net-framework-4-4-5-and-4-5-1/
Looks like .NET 4.5.2 upgrade :(
I noticed on the two machines I updated yesterday & today there’s no MSRT (Malicious Software Removal Tool) this time around, anyone know why?
For those people for whom the update was not successful or caused issues, I would urge you to consider getting an external hard drive and imaging your hard drive before any Patch Tuesday update. I had a client who refused to take this advice when upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and it was not fun to deal with the aftermath. I use Macrium Reflect, but there are many good imaging programs out there. Many of which are free to use for personal use. The key thing is to make an image, not a clone and then create a bootable usb drive if the company offers such a tool. Hope this helps.
Hi,
For Windows 2012 R2 server, please advise on whether we need to install KB4565540 and KB4565541? or just KB4565541 monthly rollup is sufficient?
