- The Windows 7 Service Pack 2 is a roll up update that contains all the previous updates in one package.
- With it, you can install any update you have missed at once and only wait for future updates.
The roll-up tool, Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, simultaneously installs all previously released updates for these systems.
The convenience rollup update contains all the patches from February 22, 2011 (the release date of Windows 7 Service Pack 1) to 12 April 2016.
When you download the tool, it will install all previous updates for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, so you don’t have to install them one by one.
This update pack serves as a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. It contains almost all previously released non-security updates for the system, released after Windows 7 SP1. The update is dubbed KB3020369.
You can check out the latest updates for Windows 7 from our constantly updated table:

Here’s what Microsoft said on releasing the rollup package for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1:
“This convenience rollup package, available to download from Microsoft Catalog, contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016.
How we test, review and rate?
We have worked for the past 6 months on building a new review system on how we produce content. Using it, we have subsequently redone most of our articles to provide actual hands-on expertise on the guides we made.
For more details you can read how we test, review, and rate at WindowsReport.
Install this one update, and then you only need new updates released after April 2016.
And since this update can be injected into Windows 7 SP1 media, it’s fully supported to mount a Windows 7 SP1 image (WIM file), then inject this update into it. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744559(v=ws.10).aspx for the details of how to do this.
This convenience update is completely optional; it doesn’t have to be installed and won’t even be offered via Windows Update — you can choose whether or not you want to use it.
We hope that you find this convenience rollup package useful. This same convenience rollup also applies to Windows Server 2008 R2.”
What is Windows monthly quality rollup?
Besides showing us this ‘convenience rollup tool,’ Microsoft also introduced the idea of monthly rollups.
Monthly rollups are released at the end of each month and will contain all non-security updates for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 released during that month.
Monthly rollups are offered to users through Windows Update, WSUS, SCCM, and Windows Update Catalog.

Another way of forcing people to upgrade to Windows 10?
We’ve reached the point where every Microsoft action related to Windows 7 or 8.1 is recognized as another attempt to force people to upgrade to Windows 10.
While it does not necessarily have to be true in this case, some facts point out the opposite.
With the convenience rollup tool, Microsoft will install absolutely every previously released update to Windows 7 or 8.1, including updates designed to push to Windows 10 upgrade!
As users have no control over which updates are installed and have to install everything, avoiding these updates is impossible.
We’re sure this wasn’t Microsoft’s primary goal when releasing KB3020369, as the main purpose is to deliver missed updates and save people’s time and effort.
On the other hand, Microsoft is aware that the new tool installs Windows 10-related updates, and it surely doesn’t mind that.
Also, Microsoft will end the extended support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, so it does seem that the company is somehow forcing people to upgrade to Windows 10.
What do you think, is the new rollup tool just a way for people to keep their systems updated, or another Microsoft’s well-camouflaged effort to force people to upgrade to Windows 10? Tell us in the comments.

Windows 7 End of Support
Important Note: Microsoft will officially end mainstream Windows 7 support on January 14, 2020. In other words, your Windows 7 PC will no longer receive software and security updates.
Your device will function normally, but the risk of getting infected with malware increases exponentially. However, if you still want to use Windows 7 after January 2020, open this guide to learn how you can keep using the OS indefinitely.
On the other hand, business users running Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Pro can benefit from Extended Security Updates until January 2023. To learn more about Windows 7’s ESU, you can check out this in-depth guide.
Update: 64-bit binaries now added beside the 32-bit ones.
I uploaded this just for historical purposes. You are better off fetching your updates with the WSUS Offline tool instead (given that you know what you are doing with Windows 7 now that its support ended).
This requires a long explanation if you don’t know what it is.

In short, it installs all updates/patches between the release of SP1 (which was in 2011 if I remember right) up to 2016 may.
Click on «SHOW ALL».
There are five .MSU packages you may download. The one with the bigger file size (KB3125574) is what you really need.
HOWEVER, before you could install that, you have to install the smaller package first (KB3020369 — «April 2015 Servicing Stack Update») that fixes an error that would prevent the proper installation.
x64 is the 64-bit version, do not confuse it with ia64 (I fetched it just for kicks).
I don’t know how well would co-operate with various language releases of the OS. I tried it on Windows 7 Ultimate with Hungarian MUI pack, it worked flawlessly.
After installation, the reported Windows version does not change. It will remain the same as before.

Всем привет, Microsoft выпустила новое кумулятивное обновление для операционных систем Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32bit и 64bit) и Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64bit). Чисто формально обещание, данное в 2012-м году, выполнено: данный пакет обновлений называется не Service Pack 2, а «Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1». Номер обновления — KB3125574. Но уж очень сильно данный пакет похож на SP2. Он не качается через Windows Update, имеет в наборе много очень важных обновлений и скачать его можно только через IE.  Данное обновление недоступно в автоматическом режиме в Windows Update, для его установки необходимо вручную загрузить программный пакет. Нужно учесть, что Microsoft поступила в своём стиле: предыдущая ссылка работает только в браузере Microsoft Internet Explorer. Следует
Вот что исправляет данный пакет (выделил самые важные для обычных пользователей, перевод с оф.сайта): 2620264 Ошибка неудачи запуска любых приложений RemoteApp под управлением Windows Server 2008 или более поздней версии сервера терминалов, или шлюза удаленных рабочих столов 2898851 Описание обновления безопасности для платформа.NET Framework 3.5.1 в Пакет обновления 1 для Windows 7 и Windows Server 2008 R2 Пакет обновления 1 2898851 Этот накопительный пакет также не включают обновления для обозревателя Internet Explorer. Если требуется обслуживания обновления для обозревателя Internet Explorer, можно загрузить и установить последнее обновление безопасности для обозревателя Internet Explorer.

Windows 7 Service Pack 2

Microsoft все же объявила о выпуске сабжа, но просит пользователей не называть его так. 
Второй пакет обновлений называется rollup update или просто «накопительный пакет обновлений», коим он и является по сути. Набор обновлений предназначен для пользователей Windows 7 SP1 и не является обязательным, он также не будет распространяться через центр обновлений Windows Update. Пакет обновлений получил идентификатор KB3125574 (Convenience rollup update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1).
Основная цель, которую преследует Microsoft выпуском этого пакета обновлений, заключается в том, чтобы помочь организациям, все еще повсеместно использующим Windows 7, оперативно получать установленную ОС с последними обновлениями, так как сам накопительный пакет может быть интегрирован в оффлайн дистрибутивы Windows 7. Microsoft также поменяла формат публикации пакета обновления, теперь вместо standalone-дистрибутива, он будет распространяться с использованием уже достаточно забытого механизма Microsoft Update Catalog, которым можно воспользоваться только через веб-браузер Internet Explorer.
Для установки пакета обновлений на Windows 7, пользователь должен иметь установленный SP1, а также обновление KB3020369 (April 2015 servicing stack update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2). Пакет включает в себя все security и прочие обновления для Windows 7, которые были выпущены с начала выпуска SP1 и до апреля 2016 г. Это же обновление доступно для пользователей Windows Server 2008 R2. Напомним, что ранее Microsoft категорически открестилась от выпуска Service Pack 2 для Windows 7.
We’re happy to announce today that we’re making available a new convenience rollup for Windows 7 SP1 that will help. This convenience rollup package, available to download from catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574, contains all the security and non-security fixes released since the release of Windows 7 SP1 that are suitable for general distribution, up through April 2016. Install this one update, and then you only need new updates released after April 2016.
Более подробную информацию о работе с обновлением можно получить по ссылкам ниже.

Само обновление доступно для загрузки по следующей ссылке.
catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574
Еще одним примечательным фактом является то, что Microsoft изменила политику выхода не security обновлений для Windows 7 SP1 и Windows 8.1 (включая Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 и Windows Server 2012 R2). Если ранее они могли выпускаться порциями несколько раз в месяц, то теперь они будут выходить строго раз в месяц и представлять из себя одно целое обновление. Обновления как и прежде будут доступны через центр обновлений Windows Update.
