    Shawn, does this support requirement relate to this article I saw?

    Still Using Windows 7? Microsoft's Next Update Is Critical

    If you want to continue receiving Windows updates, then the next Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 update is critical as it adds support for SHA-2 encryption. Without it, future updates can't be downloaded.

    Support for Windows 7 is set to end on Jan 14. 2020, but access to Windows updates may end in March if you don't allow your Windows 7 machines to download and install Microsoft's next patch.

    Thanks Shawn,

    Your News posting does say it in its own way:
    Customers running legacy OS versions (Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2) will be required to have SHA-2 code signing support installed on their devices by July 2019. Any devices without SHA-2 support will not be offered Windows updates after July 2019.
    Do you know if 'stand alone updates' are delivered through Windows Updates or will we have to 'go get it' say, in the update catalog?

    I'm guessing it will be pushed through Windows Update. Usually when MS pushes an update which affects future WU functionality, they get pushed through WU. They did that recently with the v2 Oct 2018 Servicing Stack update which stated if it wasn't installed then future rollups wouldn't install properly. They made it a mandatory update through WU, so I'm guessing this will be the same.

    Thanks Shawn,

    I see this was started way back in 2015:
    Microsoft security advisory: Availability of SHA-2 code signing support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: March 10, 2015

    Microsoft Security Advisory 3033929

    3033929 has been on my win 7 box since 03 / 10 / 2015. I haven't seen any updates for today on the microsoft update catalog but there are the ones for 3033929.

       Information
    My mention of KB3033929 does not mean to imply that what we are all waiting for will have that same number. And, the ones linked to above are not the ones we need, I only linked to them for reference.
