Thank you Brink
Like others I just install the Security only updates. So far this Black Tuesday I have been offered KB890830 & 4088875. I hid 875 and installed the 830.
Last month was a mess. On 4 Feb I got KB4054518 together with 34 hidden updates. After hiding these I then got a series of previous Monthly Quality updates together with other previously hidden non essential stuff.
Finished up with 54 total hidden updates.
On 14 Feb I got all the 54 hidden updates plus 2 more non essential updates.
56 were now hidden
This left me with no further updates on offer and I went ahead and installed the security only KB4074587 on 16 Feb.
After booting and the desktop appeared I immediately noticed that the word and excel documents had strange looking icons and none would open.
So I did a system restore as I had made no changes or additions to my system other than the security update and these icons appeared as normal and opened.
For the moment I have not installed this month's security only update and of course the Feb one 4074587 is no longer installed.
To date I am informed that I have no updates, so fingers crossed I will not get all 56 hidden updates yet again. Feb was the sixth time hidden updates were offered again, since Nov 2016 - why does MS keep digging them out?
