    I received windows updates yesterday. It had a list of 7 updates and when I viewed them only 5 were checked for download. The 2 unchecked ones had identical descriptions (for .Net framework 4) but had different update numbers. It appears in my history that I downloaded one the day before with the same description except the different number again.
    Should I download the other 2 or just hide them so they don't show up again. I'm thinking by not being checked Windows thinks I don't need them. Is my assumption correct?
    What would you all advise.
    As always thank you for your help.

    Hi Floyd

    I noticed that too and with the KB number being a different one, they are slightly different updates, but as they are unchecked you have the option of installing them or not, they are not critical updates, but well worth doing, I did them yesterday and they installed fine.
