Microsoft released security and non-security updates for all client and server versions of the Windows operating system on the July 2022 Patch Tuesday.
The security updates are available already and will be downloaded and installed on most unmanaged systems automatically. Administrators may use Windows Update to download the security updates immediately, download updates manually, or use update management services such as WSUS to deploy them.
The main security updates are cumulative, which means that they include previously released updates.
Our July 2022 Microsoft Patch Day guide is a reference that system administrators and home users may use. It lists information about the main updates that Microsoft released, has links to important support pages, lists known issues that are confirmed by Microsoft, has direct download links, and more.
You can check out the June 2022 update overview here.

Martin, fullscreen end of support nag on Windows 8.1 kb5015874, options: remind me at the end of support OR remind me later.
Thanks Martin, for helping me to understandably update the 2 critical and 41 important new patches which brings me up to – windows 10 version 21H2, OS build 19044.1826.
Thanks for this useful information @Martin. :]
Really like these briefs. Using them to keep up with latest W7 fixes.
Thanks go out to Martin and crew!
Keep them up, you are doin’ awesome job!
Thank you Martin ! Update Win 11 without problem. Blocked the end of support nag on Windows 8.1 with Hibit Monitor.
Regarding .NET Framework 3.5 update KB5016268 for Windows 8.1 you have it listed as a non-security update which is partially correct.
However, the KB article states that it contains security updates which were supposed to have been included in the June 14 release, but were omitted apparently. These have now been included in the July update even though there aren’t any security updates for this month.
Thank you for the information!
No issues to report on two Windows 8.1 Pro systems.
After taking a Macrium image of the system, installed the Servicing Stack Update first (KB5016264) downloaded from the Microsoft Catalog. Then via Windows Update installed the Monthly Rollup (KB5015874) and Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows 8.1 for x64 (KB5016568).
Last step was to disable the End of Support (EOS) notification via instructions here: https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/2000017-registry-keys-and-command-line-info-to-block-the-windows-8-1-end-of-life/
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\EOSNotify /f /v DiscontinueEOS /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\EOSNotify /f /v DiscontinueEOS /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\EOSNotify /f /v RemindMeAfterEndOfSupport /t REG_DWORD /d 1
Click on start, then type in cmd and right mouse click and run as administrator. Now enter the following commands:
schtasks /Change /DISABLE /TN “Microsoft\Windows\Setup\EOSNotify” schtasks /Change /DISABLE /TN “Microsoft\Windows\Setup\EOSNotify2”
This update broke automatic maintenance, now it will now never complete.
Normally, maintenance completes before power management suspends your PC; if maintenance completes when scheduled, it will not automatically run again until the next scheduled run. If it is interrupted, however, it will restart the next time your PC is idle.
With this update, now no matter how long you leave the system idle, automatic maintenance never completes, it’s always in progress…
Auto maintenance seems to complete on my Window 8.1 system. https://i.postimg.cc/5NPdNGSH/auto-maintenance-ok.png
Very weird, I tested on 3 machines (all Window 10 Pro), with all the same results;

Also when looking into the Event Viewer to see if there were any clues as to about why, under Tasks I noticed this part here stood out.
“Maintenance Task “NT TASK\Microsoft\Windows.NET Framework.NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319 64 Critical” requests computer wakeup during next regular maintenance run.”
Might be connected… I don’t know.
Now I’m curious if any other (Windows 10) users are having this issue about “Maintenance in progress”.
Having 2 big issues with USB printers across several customers.
1 – USB ports in printer properties are being left unchecked, causing failures to print. Checking the appropriate port in printer properties fixes the issue.
2 – Two USB printers of the same model cannot co-exist on the system. Noted with receipt and label printers, multiple brands (citizen, tsc, zebra, epson). The first printer installed will function correctly, all others will refuse to print. No fix known, yet.
@Martin You forgot to mention that Windows 7 ESU will likely get another 3 years of support. ;)
See: [https://www.computerbase.de/2022-07/windows-7-esu-support-extended/] (article in German)
> As the website Deskmodder reports, the security updates KB5015861 and KB5015862 , which were distributed to companies as part of the monthly rollout of the ESU program, already contain the corresponding ESU licenses and keys for support in the 4th, 5th and 6th Year. This is expected to extend enterprise support through 2026.
