I have uninstalled KB3035583. I did not install KB29952664.
But all files and all manifest folders listed are still on my disk.
I will need to change permissions on the entire Winsxs folder to delete these.
Anyone see any problems if I do that?

Just received today's night (here) from Windows Update the Kb2990214 listed as optional update and i've hide that one too along the two previous already mentioned here.
Strange, thought after reading this update was back in October 2014?

But the descriptions of the updates are terrible, how are we to know what each update does with descriptions like that ?
That's what get's me, I'd be fine with the option to do so and if it was intentionally left unclicked (for those who automatically update) but it seems they did not want to give those who set and forget ( a large majority of users) which seems a bit shady to me. Even I would have missed this had I not been home for the past few days and then read the forums first, as the description is so vague, I probably would have chalked it up to some minor coding issue and been done with it.
Has MS officially addressed this yet or at least explained (of course from a PR stand point) what they are doing?

A bit shady? Heck, it's so shady, no daylight is getting through!
