\"Windows[German<\/a>]On August 11, 2020, Microsoft released several (security) updates for Windows 7 SP1 (ESU) and Windows Server 2008 R2. 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.\u00a0 However, these updates are now only available for systems with ESU licenses. The update history for Windows 7 can be found on this Microsoft site<\/a>. Installation requires installed SHA2 support for successful installation of the security updates.<\/p>\n

Beginning January 15, 2020, Windows 7 will display a full-screen end-of-support notification in Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional (without an 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 last updated the Techcommunity article on the ESU program<\/a> on February 11, 2020. Please refer to the notes on requirements (SSU, SHA-2). Additionally, for ESU systems, you must manually install the KB4538483<\/a> update from the Update Catalog. Furthermore, the update KB4538483<\/a> was released in May 2020 (see Windows 7 ESU-Update KB4538483 (May 2020)<\/a>)) and the preparatory update KB4575903<\/a> was released at the end of July 2020 (see Windows 7 ESU Preparation Package Update KB4575903 (July 31, 2020)<\/a>)).<\/p>\n

Because the updates are provided in the Microsoft Update Catalog, do not attempt to install them on systems that do not have an ESU license. The installation fails and a rollback occurs. But what works: Use the BypassESU method described in the links at the end of this article (see Windows 7: Forcing February 2020 Security Updates \u2013 Part 1<\/a> \u2013 Teil 1).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Important: Starting in July 2020, all Windows updates disable RemoteFX vGPU functionality<\/a> due to the CVE-2020-1036<\/a> vulnerability (see also KB4570006<\/a>).After installing this update, attempts to start virtual machines (VM) with RemoteFX vGPU enabled will fail. More information can be found in the KB article<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
