superleiw Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago It seems that the latest Monthly Rollups (July and August of 2025) cannot be installed to Client or Embedded editions anymore (even with the *ahem* Bypass *ahem*) Microsoft intentionally restricted it to work for Server 2012 only. Well it had a good run anyway, the fact that Updates could be installed for free until Octobre 2023 was already a pleasant surprise.
