Last round of updates stuff up again

I have KB2952664 installed and sfc is fine. But I fail to see where the discussion is heading. KB2952664 has nothing to do with the fact that KB3121461 causes non repairable system file corruption for some users. I don't know how many users it affects. I would at least rate it "User Beware".
I'm alerting other users that it could be a problem for them.

Most people have been doing the same thing about KB2952664 saying unless you actually want to upgrade to win-10 it's unnecessary along with all the other win-10 related updates :)

Exactly. KB3121461 won't even be offered unless you have KB2952664 installed in the first place. If you're not upgrading to 10, why have 2952664 installed at all?

Because I don't want to research every update stated as important to a Windows 7 user and I shouldn't need to. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands who wants to do this. Certainly not your average user.
Dragging it out in case I haven't made my point . MS Windows update supplied an update to a Windows 7 OS and declared it as important. It doesn't matter if it is associated with the potential to upgrade to Windows 10 in the future it should NOT corrupt system files.
(Upgrading to Windows 10 is probably inevitable anyway in 4 years).

MS define:
"Updates are classified as Important, Recommended, Optional, and Featured. Here's what they mean:

• Important updates offer significant benefits, such as improved security, privacy, and reliability. They should be installed as they become available, and can be installed automatically with Windows Update.
• Recommended updates address non-critical problems or help enhance your computing experience. While these updates do not address fundamental issues with your computer or Windows software, they can offer meaningful improvements. These can be installed automatically.
• Optional updates can include updates, drivers, or new software from Microsoft to enhance your computing experience. You can only install these manually."

Interesting point of view,
With that in mind how many others do you have installed ?
Attachment 380505

And if no more than KB2952664 why not ?

In for a penny = in for a pound :)

I'd like to say your point of view is interesting but I can't because I don't understand what your point is.

Repeat: I decided to just install important updates some time ago because they are stated as IMPORTANT by MS mainly because of potential security issues. An important update should not be dependent on either a recommended or optional update. I have many recommended but not all. What's "interesting" about that point of view? It seems logical to me and I'm sure there are others would have the same "interesting" point of view.

BTW I don't have KB3013531, 3021917, 3068708 installed. Why because they must not have been important.
