It depends on what you are running. With some addons the drivers go on during the install of the application portion in a certain order. Any separate driver install will knock the application portion out!
For general Windows, video and sound the updates along with the 11 security fixes due tuesday will simply go on without a hitch. If you should add a new device on at some point all this could change for you where any automatic install would cause problems.
have to admit, i also havent had any problems with the "important" updates with Win 7, drivers... thats a different issue, i have learnt the hard way not to install ANY drivers that windows update offers you
I had troble with this one: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 (KB980182). It caused page rendering to change in FF and a few other problems. How and why I do not know. I uninstalled it and all was well without a reboot. I will, at some point, install it again and see what happens.
Generally I never seem to have any problems with any of the MS regular updates that come out. As for the updates due today I see 5 for security and 1 for the WMSRT(Windoows Malicious Software Removal Tool) for the 64bit 7.
And to correct one thing that was 34 not 35 language packs. 35 was the total with the tuner card update still seen as always! MS doesn't get it that you have to install the same version's application installer at the same otherwise the application part simply won't run.
Ut oh! Reboot time for the latest!
I have 5 + the Malicious Software Removal Tool + the IE Explorer that I uninstalled and three MS Office updates.
