For most Windows 7 and 8.1 customers who don't expect to upgrade to Windows 10 in the next week or two, you can give most of yesterday's patches a pass. They're optional, several are related to earlier patches that have increased Microsoft snooping, and there's not one iota of evidence that they'll help you run Windows 7 or 8.1 better. But there are two that may be worth considering.
KB 2952664 is a "compatibility update" for Windows 7 SP 1 with the KB article up to its 17th revision. I first
flagged this pest in April 2014 -- yeah, two years ago. Back in
October 2014, I quoted Microsoft MVP TaurArian as saying:
If you don't intend to update the Windows 7 computer to either windows 8 or Windows10 TP, then uninstall the buggy KB2952664 update. It isn't needed... This is the sort of update that should be offered ONLY when you intend to update as part of the pre check by Microsoft when you do a compatibility check on a new OS to see if it will be suitable.
Seems like good advice now, too.
