...I do think that Microsoft could give more details as to what the patches relate to, not least a little more openly in relation to the W10 nagware patches. But also with the optional updates generally where some knowledge of the patches is required if users are to be able to decide whether or not to install them.

MS will never do that since more people would then opt out of the nagware Trojans MS has been repeatedly foisting on us.

Seffrid wanted to tell more about those Optional updates that are coming through WU. MS gives knowledge base article before every patch in their bulletins, but you have to do an extra step to read all about. Even with that your not really informed and most of the time you'll have to dig it yourself, the plot (if one there is!).:)

It seems lately that, the more an update has to do with being a Win 10 nagware Trojan or spyware, the vaguer the description becomes when you go to MS' website. It's borderline fraud.

This is my list of all updates which are, or are supplemental to, the Win 10 Nagware Trojans:

KB2990214

KB3035583

KB2952664

KB3021917

KB2819745

KB3022345

KB3050265

KB3068708

KB3065987

The ONLY one with the nag is 3035583 - the rest are irrelevant.

The others are spyware or preps for the nagware and eventual download and installation of Win 10. I f one doesn't want Win 10, you don't need or want any of them.

I'd say the Optional updates are irrelevant
It's when M$ reclassifies them makes them fishy
Then you get to the actual descriptions on the kb's page
