But soon after the updates appeared, Win7 users reported installation failures. The upshot? The patches generally worked fine on systems with genuine (paid) and up-to-date Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscriptions.

Group B installs the Security-only Update and the IE11 CU.

If you install the Rollup you are installing all three components. So if the Rollup works, it follows that two of its components work.
