Windows Update in Win7 now appears to be working properly

@MrBrian notes, and @abbodi86 confirms, that the bad value <ExpiryDate> updates itself when you check for Windows updates.

Bottom line: You don’t need to do anything. As of a few hours ago, Windows Update should work normally.

Windows Update’s new expiry date on Win7:

2025-07-01T00:00:00.0000000-00:00

Which seems to me to be just as arbitrary as the old one.
