Given the recent past performance of Microsoft updates, and given the size and appearant complexity of the pending updates, it would be prudent to make a full backback before applying these patches.

Source...Today, we provide advance notification for the release of 16 Security Bulletins. Five of these updates are rated Critical, nine are rated as Important, and two are rated Moderate in severity. These updates are for Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Exchange, .NET Framework, Internet Information Services (IIS), Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), Input Method Editor (IME) (Japanese), and Kernel Mode Driver (KMD).
As per our monthly process, we've scheduled the Security Bulletin release for the second Tuesday of the month, November 11, 2014, at approximately 10 a.m. PST.

Actually it should be known as review updates before load them
Also know your categories !
Recommended updates are in reality Optional as long as you have your windows update settings set to reflect them as noted
Important updates are the only ones needed
Unless an Optional update applies to your actual usage
Maybe the Microsoft gods have blessed me. I seldom have a problem with Windows Updates.
I don't except Bing anything and I investigate driver option before installing them.
That it; the rest I install.
I usually also double click every update and click on the "More information" link, to see what the update is all about
