Fixing Windows 7 updates on new CPUs (error 80240037)

Recently, I installed Windows 7 on my Ryzen machine. However, after installing some updates, it blocked me from installing new ones. That happened because my CPU is too new, and will probably happen on any Intel CPU since the 7th gen and AMD since Bristol Ridge (Including all Ryzen ones). When trying to update, it shows an error box and, if you insist on updating, you get the error 80240037. In this video, I show how to bypass this restriction. OBS: This fix also works on Windows 8.1 LINKS: Archived download page: :// Files in Google Drive: Original github page (doesn’t exist anymore): HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR SYSTEM IS 32 OR 64 BIT: Open Control Panel\System and Security\System and verify the system type.
