Maybe Microsoft’s trying to minimize the screams. All I know for sure is that there’s a new patch for 1511 that just hit the Catalog. Yes, Microsoft d

Well, it’s not a “security” update for 1511, so MS announcement stands still

They made the same mistake like in Windows 7 OOB update KB4039884

they made 4052234 (Win 7) & 4052233 (Win 8.1) part of the monthly rollup series
but both are small partial rollups

installing them will cause a lot of old components (files) to be active instead the latest components in full rollups (security or preview)

BTW, only one component seems to be new (msexcl40.dll)
could not they just release it in a normal small update instead this fiasco?

Windows 7 and 8.1 users interested in these updates should avoid installing them until they are reissued due to the issue that abbodi86 mentioned. Also, these fixes will be included in the November 14, 2017 updates.

For Windows 7 or 8.1 users that already installed the defective update, you should uninstall it as soon as possible.

I think this issue is more widespread than it appears to be.
I did an Office 2016 64-bit test installation and found that after installing Skype for Business Security Update KB4011159 released in October 2017, the old Security Update for Skype for Business from August 2016 KB3115408 was reactivated. KB4011159 is supposed to include and supersede KB3115408. This is only for the 64-bit version, but it seems not to be the case for the 32-bit version.

Via the normal Windows Update, there is no patch so, no need to look for it in W8.1 Group A. This is where Group B can potentially run into problems via the catalog.

Thanks for the heads-up Abbodi86

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...
