Integrate Windows 7 SP1 Extended Security Updates (ESU) - (Updated Jan 13 2023)

[Deleted member 9735]

Hi. Why can't I integrate extended security updates windows 7 (ESU)?
Message: "requires ESU, cannot be integrated"

My ISO is Windows 7 SP1 Pro x64

thanks in advanced

MS made changes to the ESU Servicing Stack (SSU) to prevent offline integration. While ESU's SSU and readiness updates can be merged, all other updates must be installed live. The only workaround is to sysprep a ESU-enabled system, apply the latest updates, and capture the image.

DISM will throw an error when you integrate to any offline image.

Allowing integration doesn't fit MSFT's goal of pushing ESU customers to migrate off W7.

You can also edit MUM file to disable ESU check, then integrate update and replace modded file with original one. Or search for ESU bypass as another automated option.

Now is the right time for people to capture up to date images. See below.
If anyone is building a final w7(inc esu's) image i would hold on till February, just incase MS releases a bug fix like they did when W7 went EOL.
Mod note - edited thread title slightly and made thread a sticky.

I integrate .msu's live prior to capture, everything nicely baked in.
