I have just completed all of my 24 updates without any problems.
I always do net framework updates first and always reboot. Then I do 3 or 4 updates at a time depending on the size and reboot whether it request a reboot or not.
The last ones I do are Office updates.then reboot and check for Updates again to make sure I got them all.
I just use the new KB Update Clean Up tool and removed 4.41 GB.
Rebooted again and checked for Windows Updates again and none were there. Things are still working as they should.
Just had 29 updates to do. Rebooted and system paused for about 10 minutes at 32% before restarting. Got to 32% second time round, long long pause, then finally the familiar Windows chime. Shuts down before logon screen appears. Boots up third time, long long pause while it "configures my system", Windows chime.....long pause....login appears, keyboard works, enter password, bingo!
Why do these Tuesdays have to be so fraught? It's "cross your fingers and hope I don't have to reinstall the image I made of my system last month" time whenever the updates ready notification pops up.
Layback, i do them the same way as you, i find if you allow them to all go on at the same time that is when you run into problems, i have done all my windows eight ones but , today i start windows 7. I have my 5 to do and i maintain 40 client computers remotely so i wait to see how mine do and those in here that comment, the only thing i do differently, i do the net framework last, and do the 3.5 first, then the 4 then the 4.5
It is a newer version being offered each time,

I had 29 updates and 28 were selected by default, I just blasted through those and then did the remaining MSE Platform update.
All 26 on this machine and 29 on another went without a hitch for me ( in 3/4 batches, as usual) - and on interesting result was that in a XP machine, I actually managed to get some .NET updates installed that had been misbehaving for years! Unfortunately this simply moved the problem along the chain a bit and I still have a couple with problems.
The problem is confusing, to say the least.
KB 982168 installs OK - reboot and check for more updates, and it request KB951847. That installs OK, so reboot and check again - and it now wants KB 982168 again!
I've hidden both until I have time to play - it's an office fileshare server so I can't keep it offline too long.
I don't give the north end of a southbound furry little rodent if it is a new, improved version of Bing Desktop. If I've previously hidden it and have never installed it, that should tell M$ I don't want the misbegotten thing! And, in the past, it did; M$ has been acting desperate lately with the way it has been trying to RAM programs, etc. down our throats.
I just did the cleanup tool on my windows 7 sp1 desktop to see what would happen
It showed I had 6gigs of windows update cleanups.
It did the cleanup then went away (it does not even tell you to reboot)
but I rebooted anyway
now it stated- Windows is installing New updates
That took about 15 min
then it came up and said Windows is cleaning computer
it sat there for about 30minutes then finally went into windows 7
Is this suppose to happen?

Did I get 4 for Kernel-Mode Drivers 'cause I still have some Kernel updates hidden from Aug & Sept or did everyone?
Edit: And I see they brought back another hidden one, KB2834140 as Recommended but what I get out of all the reading I've done, is that it has something to do with IE 10 & KB2670838 which is Optional. Very confusing to a dummy. Oh, I have IE 9.
