ESU Assist for Windows 10

ESU Assist for Windows 10 | v. 1.2.1 (NEW! 30/09/2025)

ESU Assist is a freeware utility that helps administrators detect ESU eligibility, automate forced enrolment into Microsoft Extended Security Updates for Windows 10, and safely restore original settings when required. This release tightens automation, clarifies prompts, and improves rollback safety.

🔑 Key Features

Windows 10 Version Detection Checks the installed build and revision against the minimum ESU eligibility threshold and warns when the system does not meet requirements.

Interactive Main Menu Presents a clear, menu-driven interface with the following options:

• Check ESU enrolment status
• Force ESU enrolment
• Restore default ESU settings
• Explore LibTools online utilities
• Conditional Microsoft Account ESU enrolment

ESU Status Check Runs Microsoft’s ESU eligibility tool, reads registry values and result codes, and displays a detailed, human-readable status summary.

ESU Enrolment Automation Optionally creates a System Restore Point before applying changes, applies required overrides for enrolment, and executes scheduled tasks needed to activate ESU.

Rollback and Restore Defaults Removes any applied ESU overrides and restores original Windows 10 settings to return the system to its prior state.

Microsoft Account Integration Provides a conditional workflow to complete enrolment through a Microsoft Account when forced enrolment does not succeed on specific installations.

Windows Update Integration Opens Windows Update settings and triggers update scans when required for eligibility validation or troubleshooting.

Robust User Prompts All actions are menu-driven with clear confirmations and choices, and the tool handles restart requests when system changes require a reboot.

🛠 Technical Highlights

Package digitally signed with PGP (verify using GnuPG for authenticity and integrity). Compatibility with Windows 10 Consumer editions that meet ESU requirements. Safe defaults including optional restore point creation and explicit user confirmations before making system changes. Clear status reporting by interpreting registry result codes into readable messages.

Installation and Requirements

Administrator privileges are required to run enrolment and restore operations. System Protection should be enabled for System Restore Point creation to succeed. Network access may be required for Microsoft Account enrolment and Windows Update scans. Verify Windows build and revision before attempting enrolment to confirm ESU eligibility.

📝 Usage Notes

Use the status check before forcing enrolment to confirm prerequisites are met. Use the restore option to safely revert any changes if enrolment is not desired or causes issues. Use the Microsoft Account option from the main menu if forced ESU enrolment fails. The tool supports periodic sign-in every 60 days to maintain active ESU coverage.
