Thanks Brink. I have installed the November monthly Roll up KB 3197868, 130 mb plus Malicious Software Removal tool. All went well & one restart needed.

I have hidden that Monthly Security Quality Rollup kb3192403 the time to look at the infos provided on the support page. It has also unhidden the October preview and deleted it.

Edit:
It has deleted October preview kb3192403 to the now kb3197868 that have added the "DataCollection" key in registry that is mentioned in kb3192403 but doesn't appear to be mentioned in the last November Rollup support page. You still have to deal with registry for certain editions. that are using "Upgrade Analytics".

Won't install anything until this weekend after a system image is created of course

So, for those needing only security updates, get 3197867,

Important

• The security fixes that are listed in this Security Only Quality Update 3197867 are also included in the November 2016 Security Monthly Quality Rollup 3197868. Update rollup 3197868 also includes improvements and fixes from October monthly rollup 3185330 that was released on October 11, 2016. Installing either update 3197867 or 3197868 installs the security fixes that are listed here.

• It's just about improvements & telemetry,so...we have to do it back from the first monthly rollup made to have the only security updates and not the improvements & fixes.

It means that the fixes that are not related to telemetry will never get installed too.

Thank you all for giving me a hand!!

What I'm trying to get is Security Updates.
Once again sfc /scannow shows zero problems.
Maybe I have all the Security Updates and don't know it.
The RollUp get to about 95% install and stops.
I could do without the RollUp.

I will try 3197867 as ignatzatsonic has posted.

Jack;

You should be able to download an MSU file for 3197867. You'll be shown a list of several of them.

Be sure to pick the correct one for your particular version of Win 7.

Download it to a folder then just poke the MSU file to run the installer. It took maybe 90 seconds to complete on my PC a couple of days ago. No problems.

I have no idea how this will work out over the long term, but as of now all I want are Security Updates and this is the only way I know of to get them and them alone.

It's still convoluted but it's apparently what we are stuck with if we stay with 7.

KB3197867 installed with ZERO problems.
Thank you ignatzatsonic!!
Thank you all for coming to my aid!!
