\"Windows[German<\/a>]On April 14, 2020, Microsoft released various (security) updates for Windows 7 SP1 (ESU) and other updates for Windows 8.1 and the corresponding server versions. Here is an overview of these updates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Updates for Windows 7\/Windows Server 2008 R2<\/h2>\n

\"\"A rollup and a security-only update have been released for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. However, these updates are now only available for systems with ESU licenses. The update history for Windows 7 can be found on this Microsoft page<\/a>. Installation requires installed SHA2 support for successful installation of the security updates.<\/p>\n

Starting January 15, 2020, Windows 7 will display a full-screen notification of the end of support in Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional (without ESU license) and Ultimate. This must then be closed by the user.<\/p>\n

As of January 14, 2020, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 have reached the end of support and will only receive paid security updates under the ESU program. ESU license holders should visit the Windows Message Center<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has also updated the Techcommunity article<\/a> on the ESU program for 2\/11\/22020. Please refer to the notes on requirements (SSU, SHA-2). Additionally, for ESU systems, you must manually install update KB4538483<\/a> from the Update Catalog.<\/p>\n

Because the updates are provided in the Microsoft Update Catalog, do not attempt to install them on non-ESU systems. The installation fails and a rollback occurs. But what works: Apply the BypassESU method described in the links at the end of this article (see Windows 7: Forcing February 2020 Security Updates<\/a>– Part 1). This night somebody has confirmed to me that the April updates could be installed with this solution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KB4550964 (Monthly Rollup) for Windows 7\/Windows Server 2008 R2<\/h3>\n

Update KB4550964<\/a> (Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) includes (in addition to the security fixes from the previous month) improvements and bug fixes and addresses the following:<\/p>\n
