Hi Robin,

I was just writing for a new thread, but you beat me to it
So here is what I have for this round of updates

I updated a Win 7 x64 system with 16 updates for November updates.
No problems, but the download was painfully slow - over 30 minutes for 117 MB that normally takes a minute or two.
I assume it was bad timing for me and the MS servers were overloaded...everything else works fine for download time...
I downloaded/applied ALL updates at the same time.
I ran the Cleanup utility and it deleted ~200 MB of unneeded previous updates after these updates.
No problems so far...

No - I didn't get an update for IE 11

i did, wonder why it did not ask you to put on ie 11?
I did the updates for office 2010 on one machine and when it rebooted, i had no internet and the computer was at a crawl. Office updates should not knock out the internet
So i rebooted to last known good configuration and everything is now fine
Something must have gotten hung up with the office updates
I do not throw on the updates all at once, I am still on that machine and doing the updates slowly in bunches of 2

I know many people have different opinions on how many updates to apply "at once", and that's fine.
From what I know, the default setting applies all important updates at the same time for folks I help that have a pre-built out-of-the-box PC.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I see, and think that's what the "mass market" non-tech user gets for "Patch Tuesday" updates.
So, I test it this way to see if I run into any problems before someone else gets hit with "Auto-Update" problems and calls me...
It also saves me a lot of time updating my systems...If my first attempt applying all updates at once has issues, I can work on figuring out why.
I find it very rare that applying all updates at once has issues that can't be easily fixed...

Maybe they are rolling out IE 11 in waves, and that's why it's not offered to me yet?

all office updates wether it is 2010, 2007 or 2013 are asking for reboots
That is strange- this is the first time i have seen office updates ask for reboots
I am working on my 4 windows 7 computers now doing the updates
Also ie 11 is in there for all 4I have not done it for ie 11 as of yet
Again i like doing updates a few at a time because if something goes wrong I can better figure out which one caused the problem

I had 8 critical updates and 1 optional 64bit update. Installed the 8 critical first, rebooted then installed the optional. Everything is working 100%

 

[robinb9]

Yes, it is in the list of updates for my machine.

8 updates plus 1 optional installed with no problems, including IE11.
Used Win Update Cleanup, removed 527MB junk.

I updated to IE11 yesterday and have had no problems. There's no visible change from IE10 except it does seem faster.

I had 15 updates and 1 MSE update this morning and ran it all at once. No problems there either.

 

[Seffrid]

I was offered IE11 on both my machines yesterday, but have hidden it as I plan on sticking with IE9 (and Chrome).

I'm holding fire on the main updates from today for a few days as usual, until I see whether they're causing any problems and likely to be unchecked/hotfixed.

I just updated a Win 7 32 Bit OS with Office 2010.
I updated the Office updates only, and it needed to re-boot.
I thought no big deal, and allowed it to re-boot.

It re-booted to the default OS (W7 x64) without showing me the Windows boot selection window.
This is a triple-boot PC, and I've never had that happen before...
Re-started again, and right back to the W7 x64 login.
I did a SHUT DOWN, then powered up and I got the Windows boot selection window, so I could select W7 32 Bit.
So, I thought not a real big deal - I'm the odd ball that uses multi-boot PCs...
Most people won't have this issue...
I think something is amiss with this months Office updates...
Now I have to finish this months updates to see what happens...
This system has MSE and there is a program update for MSE this month.

The downloads were still painfully slow

that is why i was wondering why office updates needed a reboot- this is the first time i had to reboot office updates in a long time. On my test machine it got hung up and i lost internet connection but putting it back to last best known configuration- fixed it

 

[DavidE]

Can't disagree with you seeing a problem re-starting after applying Office updates only...
I didn't have a problem when I applied ALL updates including Office...
So far, seems to me applying ALL updates together works better than splitting them ... for me.
It's still VERY slow downloading

I had 12 with no mention of IE11, I do have IE10 installed. No Office, I use Libre.

Update process went close to normal for me.

David, it could be a MS server problem. I did 7 security updates that equaled 7MB and it took close to a minute to download those, then I did the IE10 security update (40MB) and I had that one in less than 10seconds. If it matters, I'm on Vz fios.

The installation process seemed to take longer, but that was probably just me.

I'm on att Uverse 12Mbps Down - SE USA (Greensboro, NC)
System just re-started after applying all the non-Office updates - no problems...

I was offered IE11 yesterday and did my two PC's no issues and as mentioned the look is the same. The developer tool is very different (I don't use that much but noted it while making sure what was where). Looks like the changes were "under the hood".

Tonight I had 14 checked and one option (KB2830477) I do all checked and then check the remaining after reboot (works for me). All seems fine so far on two machines.

I have the update for Internet Explorer 11 ready for download. And waiting for the other patches to appear...

 

[Ranger4]

I had 11 updates this morning, including a MSE update & they installed without a problem. It is Wed Nov 13th here & we always get the Tuesday updates here on the Wednesday.

I installed IE11 yesterday, Tues here, as the update came through then. No problems with it installing either.

 

[NoelDP]

IE11 is an optional update for the moment to reduce the load on tge servers. Updates for it aren't necessary as they would have been included in the installation if you were connected at the time
