    I had a critical problem after applying those 4 patches via Windows Update.

To restore I had to reboot with F8 because the system becomes unresponsive after the install of the patches.

      Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.
      
      That’s the very reason the advice in the Post says to wait until Susan approves the patches.

      I’m aware of that much but just wondered why you call it that. (persistent)

    Are all of the various Microsoft patches/updates included in the automatic (if enabled) Windows updates? Or do some of these require individual downloads?
