Update Number Sequence?

Hi, as concerned ergo reluctant to do the recent updates, I thought maybe if I just do the oldest one first, however, they all appear to be issued on 2/12/23, so my question is, is the lower the number, the older the update i.e. does make sense to do them not only one at a time, but in sequence also.


The higher or lower numbers do not correspond to higher or lower listing in my udpated window, just to be clear, so again that is related to the same question.

Is it better to start with updated at top and work down, and not consider lower or higher number sequence of even vice versa, start at bottom and work my way up one at a time.

Here below is the order they appear to me in my window, tho now I see the sequence of KB numbering does not jive with the 3.5.1 > 4 sequence as this latter and how it appears in the window as top down makes sense. I'm thinking top down is probably best if not also some manner of correct. I dunno. Rybosix

Thanks Brink and Noel, so based your guy's replies, that if there are released on the same date, that if I download and install one at time is irrelevant, to going from top to bottom or bottom to top first,

and irrelevant to the actuall KB numnbering system, because they will only install themselves when they are designed to be installed by MS/OS.

So sequence doesn't matter, yet in some updates last fall the some felt the sequence was relevant because one of the updates, so we were advised to downaload and install it last.


Maybe it wasnt' released on the same date, and this is why. I was still relatively new to PC's then and now. Again, since 3.5.1 framework comes before 4 in the above set, at least that part of the set appears obivous to me.

I see now that I was partially incorrect in my last post cause after Up-date 4, the numbers are in sequence from top to bottom, so it makes sense to go from top to bottom, untill and unless there is some kinda of buggy circumstances that might cause that normal top to bottom sequence to be avoided.

Thank you and I probably will do the at least the top one here before long.

Generally speaking, it makes no difference which order they are downloaded in - the installation logic is supposed to prevent problems with updates caused by order of download.

I would think that makes most sense and would help to explain why when I went in order from top down, the one failed to install, because "installation logic" would not have done them from top to bottom.

I know my wife, and apparrently many many users use automatic updates and mosty have no problems ergo the installation logic and those updates are for the most part not a problem.

The main thing I'm glad of is I did not have to go through days of Madigascar diagnosis, CBS report, typing in commands to terminal etc.....
