Just check update.mum OS will work fine in either situations the key part is in reducing the number of unnecessary superseded updates installing feature packs first then KB3125574 eliminates all or most of updates for these feature packs (i.e. platform or RDP security updates) you can try and re-install KB3125574 after you installed WU updates, then run Disk Cleanup with "Update Cleanup" option checked and see how many update get uninstalled
abbodi1406, I did it and got 230Mb of space to cleanup (7 updates was superseded)! Here the list: - KB2912390 (Vulnerability in Direct2D could allow remote code execution) - KB2923545 (Update for RDP 8.1 is available for Windows 7 SP1) - KB3020388 (Description of the security update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 if the Remote Desktop Connection 8.1 client update is installed) - KB3035126 (Vulnerability in Windows Photo Decoder component could allow information disclosure) - KB3075226 (Description of the security update for RDP in Windows) - KB3078601 (Description of the security update for Windows) - KB3110329 (Description of the security update for Windows) Then run WU - nothing found. That means that installing feature packs is no 100% guaranty lack of superseded updates? P.S. I think that spending a hole day to build reference image of OS by installing separate updates would be better investment than such a mess...
KB3125574 has supersedence metadata built-in like many other updates. There is also component level supersedence built-in which acts differently but it takes place. An interesting way of using KB3125574 is to import this update in WSUS from Catalog and use it like any regular update. In theory at least, if there is a need for KB3125574 to be reinstalled after other updates, WSUS will present it as needed update, unlike Windows Update which does not know about KB3125574. In such a configuration, WSUS and Windows Update may provide different updates to be installed, although eventually, when fully patched, the 2 methods would reconcile and become consistent. Due to such inconsistencies, I stopped using KB3125574 until such a time when this update or a revised replacement will be published on Windows Update. It is interesting to note that a similar behaviour with inconsistencies between WU and WSUS is encountered when Monthly Security Only updates are installed. Those updates are known only to WSUS, but not to WU and have their own supersedence built-in. What abbodi1486 says that Windows Update is a mess is totally true..
you forgot to install KB3172605, which includes the permanent fix to the long or forever WU scan problem also KB3020369 is superseded by KB3177467 - I usually install KB3177467 first before installing KB3122574
