    hum, the .net framework updates take ages on my laptop. on other systems, installation was very fast. as it seems, it scans every .net app and optimizes/secures it. might be the reason it takes so long on the laptop, being a .net developer and such :)

    This emerging pattern of large numbers of patches isn't exactly inspiring. Sometimes I wonder whether Windows is a work-in-progress.

    everything is work-in-progress. i'm glad they learn and fix their faults. and not say "done, this is how it is".

    i like the thread to raise awareness that one should update. but yes, mostly it's comparing numbers.

    Isn't a reminder feature integrated in the updater of Windows? I for one updated long before this thread was born.
    Just saying...
    IMO useless threads.

    Most (all??) of the 'large updates' this month are for runtime libraries to patch some new vulnerabilities.

    I for one am glad that msft is doing this. It only took them what, 25 years to get a decent patch system in place.

    Don't think for a second that other OS don't do similar updates with similar frequency.

    a lot of people don't care. those might start to care as they see everyone else does, too. basic sheep training behavior. they don't want to be guided by some master (automatic updates? denied!). but they follow the other sheep. so if they see there is interest in doing the updates for a lot of people, then they do it, too.

    basic psychology.

    other than that, if you think it's useless, then get out of here.

    well the alternate purpose of this thread is to also get feedback if anything is significantly improved or breaks because of the update, and then we can work to see what fixes it for everyone.

    Nothing has broken this month so we're good for now.

    indeed. no news is sometimes the best news of all.

    They are mostly security updates, so there is no performance-based update. :(

    After installing the updates, you should uninstall the previous updates: KB2446710, KB2503658 and KB2508429. The newer updates provide newer files which replaces the files provided by older updates.

    Old Updates Replaced by New Updates (For This Month)
    KB2446710 -----------------------> KB2518869
    KB2503658 -----------------------> KB2544893
    KB2508429 -----------------------> KB2536275

    There is no harm leaving the older updates installed in your computer. However, the more older updates left accumulated, the more unnecessary hard disk space is consumed, the larger the size of C:\Windows\winsxs, leading to file fragmentation and gradual performance degradation.
