Any reason for implementing this method??

 

Installing new updates makes the newer-version components as the active components (sxs winners)
and then uninstalling superseded updates won't affect the status of components

whereas uninstalling superseded updates first will revert active components to older version, then installing new updates will change active components to new version
too much unnecessary servicing, and could cause errors if other updates depend on a specific components version

 

Thanks abbodi, I see the logic.. but would this be a Windows 10 thing?

It is directly the opposite to the way Komms KUC tool works with previous versions of windows.

 

I use this order since Windows 7

 

abbodi.... you are revered in this forum,

but in this instance, question not answered... is this a personal choice, or as

M$ suggests that each update only installs what is missing from previous updates..
as a consequence, surely it must be advantageous to remove all superseded updates and inntall the (Presumably) new components.

 

I'm not sure what you mean, but like you said.. it's logic

for Windows 10 cumulative updates (rollups in Windows 8.1), most components in the update are shared with previous cumulative (shared = same version)
when you uninstall superseded one after installing new one, those components remain tied with new one, and only superseded components removed

 

so far ive wrote my win10 dism/offline integrate script to do this:
extract msu -> extract cab -> integrate update.mum

Is this method ok still for win10?

 

Yes, it's still valid

but be aware that some (or most) updates .cab files cannot be extracted unless the host OS is Windows 8.1 or 10
Windows 8 or 7 will fail upon extraction

i mean the manual extraction (using expand.exe tool)
using dism directly with .cab (or .msu) is OK of course

I just applied both updates.

 

Sadly, last cumulative KB3093266 still requested by WU

 

It's just a bug - report it to the windows feedback app.

 

It's not an actual bug, it's a typical msft behavior

currently, only 3 updates are really required, other 4 are just to shut up WU

 

we need to cancel this

 

Good luck doing that

3 Required are:
KB3097617 Cumulative
KB3099406 Flash Security
KB3081452 Servicing Stack
+ that KB890830 "Malicious" thingie and LPs

4 Redundant are:
KB3093266 Cumulative
KB3081449
KB3074686
KB3074678

right?

 

You are correct, the redundant ones are only required to satisfy Windows Update..

 

Yes, except you don't need the previous cumulative update.
Edit: 3093266 is currently still being downloaded by Windows Update, but it's likely an mistake.
