What are the non-security updates in KB3207752. I had windows update to never check for updates, yet somehow it reverted back to automatically downloading and installing updates. It installed KB3207752. Is there anything unwanted in this update ?

I don't think that's something people know off the top of their heads. It has to be researched and you can do it yourself by Googling the KB number.
Windows Update and other functions (e.g. services) sometimes will reset itself. Just check on them every now & then. You do know its not a good idea to never update your OS right?

And how has your previous monthly updates been, okay or also a struggle?

Check your installed updates against the list under "solution to the issue" here: Search for Windows Updates takes forever? - A possible solution

To check for installed updates, go to control panel >windows updates >click on installed updates in lower left corner. Since you show your OS as win7 x64 look for KB3020369 or KB3177467 and KB3172605 under the first column win7 x64.

What did you find?

Install KB3172605 first then KB3205394. Use the D/L links from the link I provided, then test windows updates.

No,

you show your OS as win7 x64

Therefore you only need the x64bit versions when installing system files.

if you tried installing the x86 updates you'd probably get a pop-up saying their incompatible with your machines architecture.

Make sure you reboot your machine and check that those updates were installed successfully.

What do you mean by unwanted?

It's still not doing anything. Windows update standalone installer comes up and just sits there scanning for new updates.

Stop the Windows Update Service (wuauserv) before running standalone installers.
