Right now a member over in the Samsung forum is pretty chuffed about their laptop (Windows 7 SP1, etc) and update issues. They are under the impression the maker would help out but the industry doesn't work like that.
Keep in mind that the next link is not exactly applicable but shows where Microsoft doesn't seem to fix update issues after they issue some patches. I didn't write that very well but read http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/02/before-you-install-windows-7-service-pack-1/ where if you had certain updates, updates after that require you to uninstall that and well, a bit of a mystery.
Fast forward to Windows 10 and read http://forums.cnet.com/7723-33629_102-631966/must-uninstall-office-in-windows-10-for-patch/?tag=contentBody;threadListing so the patch train just keeps on derailing.
If you can supply some KB number folk may have more specific ideas.

I'm unable to get the latest and greatest WU on my computer. I hit install as it appears I need all those (12). It does its thing and tells me it completed successfully and gives me the RESTART button.
When restarting, it comes back up with the configuration screen, but then a message comes up saying Windows is shutting down because the computer shut down improperly. It then comes back up like a restart and goes to a dos screen chocked full of information but it flashes on and off so quickly, it's impossible to read. It then goes to the screen where you can select SAFE MODE, SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING, and I forget the other one in this category, and it also shows START WINDOWS NORMALLY.
I've spent this evening going in circles between these screens. I tried shutting down the pc from safemode -- the networking one will not work for me, but I've used it in the past. I was able to do a system restore back a few days and all is fine as long as I do not get the WU.
I cannot remember where it is in this process, but somewhere a dialogue box pops up that says "Files the describe problem." The files shown are c:\Windows\Minidump\121014-20514-02.dmp and c:\Windows\JuleaAppsData\Local\Temp\WER-64787-0.sys.data.xml
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Julea
