    I have just checked my today's update list & yes it has been installed. No problems & no restart required.

    It is shown in Installed Updates as KB2952664. So you can check if it is installed.

    I just got notified for New Updates available, and this is the Update.
    Sounds like it's for helping with upgrading to Win 8 ?
    I'll wait a while on this one ...

    Installed KB2952664 about 1/2 hour ago with no problems.
    Rebooted just to make sure but it's not required.

    BTW, the file version 6.3.9600.17057 seems to be from Windows 8.1.

    I've hide this update...i will certainly not upgrade my retail Dvd Windows 7 OS to Windows 8.1 through an upgrade. I'll do clean install of new OS.

    Agreed.
    I've hidden it too (I always do clean installs of new OS versions).

    I don't see any situation where I'm ever going to downgrade W7 to W8.
