Microsoft pushes out emergency patch MS15-093 for critical Internet Explorer vulnerability

I’m still inspecting 4 optional updates. I guess some of them are related to Windows 10 upgrade.
Edit:
I didn’t install KB3075249 and KB3080149 (tracking, telemetry and spying crap).

Information on how to see what an (cumulative) update on (upgrade or clean install of Win 10 released on July 29th, 2015) is about here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=156141.msg1244831#msg1244831
Please note bob3160’s reply immediately after for those running Windows 10 Preview installations. You won’t see any new updates listed if your Preview install is brand-new and running the latest version.

I allowed all four optional Windows 7 updates to install and the Win 10 nag pop ups have come thick and fast ever since … it’s worse than Avast! 
you can always uninstall, then hide them.
Thanks I was wondering about those 4

No issues with Avast! or installing a total of 28 updates on Win 7 Home Premuim SP1 64-bit. Four of these were optional, all fixes to Win 7.

However, most of that collection can be beneficial in fixing bugs and otherwise improving the experience of using your computer. That’s the main reason why it’s done.
Installed 10 updates on Windows 7. Everything looks good. Avast OK.

I got 7 updates today but only one was actually for Windows 10. There was a cumulative update, the MSRT, and 5 updates for Office 2007.

When Windows 7 (Professional 64 bit with SP1 completely up to date) re-started after the September 08, 2015 update (17 updates),Avast Free was disabled. All functions were turned OFF and Would NOT Start!
Either nothing happened when I tried to switch things on or I received the error: “The AAVM subsystem detected an RPC Error.” “Error during resetting to default setting The AAVM subsystem detected an RPC error.”
Start-Failed, Update program and/or definitions-Failed, Restore default settings-Failed, Account log-in Failed, Register-Failed. We could not connect your device to your avast account. Please try again later.
Any ideas on the cause of the problem?
I downloaded and re-installed Avast Free and it IS running NOW!

Last night I downloaded 16 important updates for my ‘A7V880’ (W7 ultimate SP 1, 32-bit), but one of them failed (see screenshot 1).
After end of installation, some of them weren’t important then (see screenshot 2)!!! Tricky MS! I call it fraud!
Best of all: that update, which failed, was downloaded and installed as well, after the first restart!!!
:thumbs up:

Today I downloaded and installed 18 updates for ‘Laptop A’ without any issue!
Installed 19 windows updates on my win 8.1 computer yesterday. After restarting Gmail, Avast Forum and Facebook didn’t recognize my FF browser. I always stay logged in to all 3. Browser Cleanup didn’t work but a repair fixed it. Had to answer some hint questions in order to access our bank accounts.

re: one update failing, but then successfully downloading/installing after the reboot,
sometimes an update has a prerequisite, that another update has to be installed first. That would explain why it failed the first time — the prerequisite hadn’t been installed yet — but afterwards, it was then able to succeed.
The failure may have been caused because of those sites open and running. I understand the best practice for updating or installing software is to be sure everything is closed. Glad you were finally able to succeed!

How are people getting so many updates when I only had one? There were 5 others but they were for Office 2007.
