This thread I created https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3bd7df7d-5cd1-40fc-968c-45d16610ad80/office-2007-rollup-or-kb-of-all-postsp3-hotfixes?forum=officeitpro is archived and I can't update it. So I am creating a new thread here with my answer.

Win10 computer formerly running Office 2007 Pro suite, rebuilt, re-install Office 2007. However Windows Update no longer is detecting Office 2007 security updates.

I have manually downloaded SP3, but would like to install all available hotfixes published since SP3. I would even be willing to download them manually if that is all that is available. But I would prefer a rollup or that Microsoft still continue to publish the old updates on Windows Update.

Does Microsoft still provide old updates on its Windows Update site after end-of-life? Or at least is there an index of all available post-SP3 Office 2007 hotfixes I can use to manually download them all?

Office 2007 support ended Oct 10 2017 (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Office-2007-End-of-Life-roadmap-416c54d8-823c-4def-bb7a-6a9b14ef2745)

A: No rollup exists. But I had to do the above again, and this time I documented the known fixes that were created after Office 2007 SP3 and I am documenting them here for the good of the body:

Those are only valid for an install of Office 2007 Pro using US-EN. There are a lot more updates than that with dates after SP3 came out, but none were applicable. I spent a long time getting Microsoft Update Catalog to work on Windows 10 (hint: search for MicrosoftUpdateCatalogWebControl.dll ActiveX Control and use IE11 with microsoft.com in the Trusted Sites list). And then a long time attempting to install every update available before finding only the above actually are applicable.

Times change and content shifts, but it is really annoying when legit content is arbitrarily no longer considered fresh enough for an update, like my original post from 3 years ago. So here it is again updated and answered.
