Thanks,Nick and guys. Even before I got notification of these updates, I decided to check to see if there were any. Sure enough! Of course, the first thing I've done is hop right over here to make sure there's nothing untoward before I go ahead and download. Never, ever, go ahead and do anything silly when one doesn't have to, is my mottto. |

That's why my motto is always make a fresh backup image of my system before installing a bunch of Security Updates.

Fortunately, I have a backup made daily. That's also something to do, but checking before even downloading anything from people here is the A-1 thing to do as well. |

I had a prompt to download and install 11 updates through
Automatic Updates, but for some weird reason, it did not do
anything when I told it to download them.
I ended up having to go to Windows Update and get them.
