Windows update prerequisite

[shankle]

A hole bunch of Windows security updates have a prerequisite called 2919355.
If you look at "More Information", it would download dozens of updates that
I know nothing about.
Has anyone else been through this that is more knowledgeable than I?

Hi shankle,

That's an important update. The open license version of the Server 2012 R2 iso image contains that hotfix. If I remember well, Wsusoffline id downloading KB2919355.

Thanks guys for responding.
Excuse my ignorance but what does this update have to do with Windows 7?
It seems from what I see that it is for Windows 8.

EVERYTHING I have read about this update refers to Windows 8. I am afraid to put it on my
computer. I am running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. So one wonders why Windows Update puts
updates that need this update as a prerequisite for a windows 7 computer????
