Simplix update pack

It counts the big roll up as one, so that is why there appear to be fewer.

Sounds OK then.
Just puzzled by when I run Belarc Advisor it shows at the top that my installation is only missing 4 updates. If Simplix has dumped a lot of unnecessary stuff I'd expect Belarc to notice more than 4.

Updates from Microsoft are superseded by well, newer versions.
Win Update gives you all of them from the beginning, then updates with superseded versions.
Simplex & DISM++ don't provide the old version and then replace it with the current version.
M$ simply kept adding to the download list untill it became almost unmanagable then Convenience Rollup, etc.

Snick: which do you prefer for updating, Simplix or Dism++ ?

simplix, both have unique features

Simplix
Key /Reboot to automatically restart if it is needed.
Key /S for a fully silent install with no windows and messages. The case is significant.
Key /Silent for passive installation - you can see the progress, but the installation is fully automatic.
Key /IE11 installs Internet Explorer 11 and its localization (optional).
Key /Temp= allows you to specify a work location (optional).
Key /SmartFix integrates smartfix program by Simplix in the System Restore. File SmartFix.exe must be placed together with the Pack.

There is no benefit from running sfc /scannow more than twice. I don't run it more than once.

DISM++, Microsoft DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) & Simplix Update Pack are not the same though they have similar functions.

DISM++ is a utility for advanced users to clean, slim, backup, update or recover your Windows operating system. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) is a command-line tool that can be used to service a Windows image or to prepare a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) image.

DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) (DISM) is a command-line tool that is used to mount and service Windows images before deployment. You can use DISM image management commands to mount and get information about Windows image (.wim) files or virtual hard disks (VHD). You can also use DISM to capture, split, and otherwise manage .wim files.
You can use DISM to install, uninstall, configure, and update Windows features, packages, drivers, and international settings in a .wim file or VHD using the DISM servicing commands.
DISM commands are used on offline images, but subsets of the DISM commands are also available for servicing a running operating system.
DISM is installed with Windows, and it is also distributed in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). DISM replaces several deployment tools, including PEimg, Intlcfg, ImageX, and Package Manager.
