Speaking of Cozy Win7 Tymes, I've just updated my Win7 PCs to HWiNFO 8.04.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hwinfo/
HWiNFO is an all-in-one solution for hardware analysis and monitoring supporting a broad range of OSes (DOS, Microsoft Windows 95 - Windows 11, WinPE) and platforms (i8086 - Xeon Platinum).
Im using an older version (7.16). I like this tool alot.
For example it show extra info on my RTSS, what Afterburner can not show.

their arguments kinda fell apart when they started going at master for it being "their" fake updater thing. like no dude. master is just a random windows 7 idiot high on copium.
master is asking for feedback on a program they claim not to have made

seeing how shady they are in not posting that the program is not an official ms patch

i think it fair to assume that is because they have some ownership of it

UpdatePack7 2024.4.10 is out and is running fine for me. I've installed it on several of my Win7 machines and no issues to report.

I'm sure that there are many Win7 users out there that are unaware of these monthly updates. My experience has been very good since I started using them in 2021. One download will update a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 to current day (or you can update the ISO before installing). Save time and bandwidth.

Steam seems fine. No real issues to report.

Steam Beta Branch: Stable Client
Steam Version: 1716584667
Steam Client Build Date: Fri, May 24 5:48 PM UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date: Fri, May 24 4:31 PM UTC -08:00
Steam API Version: SteamClient021

If you have any suggestions on improving the stability or utility of Windows 7 please share with us.

you see that

"share with us"

why would they say such a thing if they did not have a hand in creating it
people talk strangely in weird tenses like this all the time i see it and i read it like that. as in they're talking a community. if they are doing it this way they certainly don't help their case lmao.
Here's the install log from the current version of UpdatePack7 (for Windows 6.1):

Share with us literally means, everyone involved. If you use UpdatePack7 or Windows 7 or are reading the thread, you are us.

This is a perfect example of what your program is doing, exactly like I said.

Everyone can look here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=2024-06%20Embedded%20standard%207

This is the official distribution location from Microsoft for update KB5039339. Do note everyone how it says that this update is only for Windows Embedded Standard 7. Then also note how Master.Constructor shows us that through UpdatePack7 they were able to install this update in a computer running Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64.

KB5039339 was never intended to be installed in Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 according to Microsoft.

KB5039339 is not compatible with Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 according to Microsoft.

UpdatePack7 is taking updates for other versions of Windows, modifying the update installer, then allows the updates to be installed inside versions of Windows that otherwise could never install these updates.

As I have stated before: UpdatePack7 DOES NOT CONTAIN UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 7 HOME, PRO, OR ULTIMATE.

UpdatePack7 can not be used to update normal versions of Windows 7.

so people will understand the problem with this

even if this is not some random person putting a bot on your pc

these are not the same editions

they do not contain the same programs

that means the updates for security will not be the same

even if the core system is the same (not sure because i do not have it)

they will not contain any security updates for programs on any other version

all of the things that the stripped down edition got rid of

again, use this if you want

keep at it with 7

hope it runs for you for years to come

make sure you do the research before using some rando's program

Windows Embedded Standard 7 is a Windows 7-based operating system developed by Microsoft, designed for use in embedded industry systems such as automated teller machines and devices for the health care and manufacturing industries. It succeeded the Windows XP-based Embedded Standard 2009 release, and was later replaced by Windows Embedded 8 Standard in 2013.

As the operating system was intended to be used in embedded systems, most features that are found in the original release of Windows 7 were removed due to a lack of necessity for industrial use.

Windows 7 June 2024 Security Monthly Quality Rollup update is here!

It carries the build number 7601.27170.
Unfortunately you are incorrect. There was not any updates released for Windows 7 Home, Pro, or Ultimate recently. The recently released updates that you are referring to are for Windows Server 2008 R2 and are not compatible with Windows 7 Home, Pro, or Ultimate.

There has not been any updates released for Windows 7 Home, Pro, or Ultimate since Jan 2024 and there never will be any updates released for Windows 7 Home, Pro, or Ultimate ever again at any point in the future.
Sure, the update is meant for an embedded version of Windows 7. but I was able to install it on Windows 7 Ultimate through the official update catalog.

Then share screenshots of the Update History within your Win7 along with screenshot of what shows as a popup in your OS when you run WINVER

Even if somehow true, none of that matters and doesn't help a Win7/8 user prolong the existence of these OS. It is 100% pointless to continue running those OS, the same as would be true for XP or Vista.

Can you install the latest current version of Edge, Firefox or Chrome on Win7/8; no you can not. You can deploy all sorts of OS updates you want, but a user does everything via web browser in the end and that's what is most vulnerable and to which can't be updated any longer (since around Jan 2023)

Steam Client might even continue to "work" on Win7/8 for a while longer. But at some point it either will cease to work, or it simply will cease getting future updates; putting the User, their Account at risk; along with everyone else on Steam.

I booted up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro x64. I downloaded the installer for KB5039339 from microsoft and tried to install it. I got an error message stating "This update is not for your operating system". I tried all 6 downloads from the Microsoft Catalog and they all said the same message.

So no: You did install it on Windows 7 Ultimate. That's not possible normally.

I just installed UpdatePack7 24.6.12 on a Win7Pro laptop and two desktops this weekend. Also works just as well on Win7Ultimate. Have two more laptops to update I think.

Good news everybody, Windows 7 is running great in June 2024!

If there's one good thing about having an old installation disc, it's recovery :D
I know it's stupid, but it happened to use a Vista today for an hour or two...

hello

not sur about telemety inside the update but it's easy to avoid just by blocking msie.exe on the firewall as it call home each time it is called if used and for the rest , i do not remember if Wusa.exe is also calling home each time he's been called but he's not blocked on my side.
