I haven’t been offered it yet this month, although it replaced the original rollup last month before disappearing when the original rollup was reinstated – neither being installed in my case.

What’s also back in my Important Updates today is KB4474419, after being offered, withdrawn, and reinstated last month and missing from this month’s initial offerings a couple of days ago.

MSRT is also back this month having taken leave of absence last month.

As to the whys and wherefores of all this – as with everything MS touches these days, who knows? It’s all beyond comprehension – and then they ask why we aren’t installing it all!

Clearly, however, this is one month when holding back on the updates doesn’t just make sense, it should be seen as compulsory outside of a test environment!

My Win7 is patch through Sept 2019-09 SQMR KB4516065 (Patch Tues).
I did not install the OOB patches (I think KB4524157 was offered checked?).

Currently I am being offered 2019-10 SQMR KB4519976.
If I hide KB4519976, I am not offered KB4524157, nor does it show up in the optional updates..
Perhaps the reissue was to change the metadata so it is no longer checked important.

What’s the possibility that the metadata change is so KB4519976 HAS to be installed (and not hidden) before receiving KB4524157? After all this is what MS want..

Installing an older patch after one that supercedes it doesn’t make sense.

I installed KB4519976  2019-10 Rollup on Win7 (on a test VM).
I was not offered OOB KB4524157 before or after the install, either checked or unchecked.
The computer now reports Up-to-date. (SSU KB4516655 had been installed with Sept updates)
I did observe a second restart during the install.

I restored KB4519976 and KB4524157. Both came back in, KB4519976 was checked, KB4524157 came in unchecked and dated October 3rd. Both are hidden again.

On my test box, I keep getting offered KB4519976, but it always fails to install, including offline manual install. Perhaps this is a feature, not a bug. I haven’t touched KB4524157. Yes, I’m up to date with SHA-2 and SSU.

I am not currently seeing Win7 KB4524157, only the 2019-10 SMQR and MSRT Malicious Software Removal Tool, but I have an Optional Unchecked Security Update for .NET that is recommended. I am getting tired of the continuous confusion. Thank You for sorting this circus mess out for us non professionals !

Lars220,
Please check the STABLE BETA TEST (Win7) section at my previous post: I’ve corrected it to clarify that KB4515854 (4.6.2) is actually installed by the KB4524102 update package… Sorry, my bad.
Thank you!

Thank you  Speccy  for your excellent post with multiple pictures. I was confused about the “Optional Security” aspect of the .NET Recommended Update (for my Win 7) in checking the link for KB4524102 at the Microsoft website I find:  “This update is included in the Security and Quality Rollup that’s dated October 8, 2019. Parts of this update were previously released in the Security and Quality Rollup on September 24, 2019.”  So I am thinking (guessing) that because I have not yet installed the October 2019-10 Win 7 updates, parts were already installed with the September 2019-09 and  >  MAYBE  <  that is why mine shows as ‘Optional’. Anyway, I am not going to worry about it, and just  WAIT  as usual for Woody DEFCON 3 or better.  Thanks Woody and PKCano for sorting things out, and Speccy, and all MVP’s.

Like you, I installed the Sept. rollup KB4516065
and the .net rollup KB4514602
I hid KB4524157 (out of band) and
KB4516655 (service stack)

I just did a windows update check and I am being offered for October
KB4519976 (roll up)
KB4524102 (.net roll up)
MSRT (October)

Checked my hidden updates
KB4524157 is GONE
KB4516655 (service stack) is still there (which I will install once MS-defcon is 3 or higher.
and of note,
all my MSRT from the past, that I had hidden, are gone.

My question is,
will the October rollup have the Sept out of band fix in it?
Although, I am not having any issues whatsoever.

Win 8.1 user here that’s been out of the loop.

So the (KB4520005) rollup that was released on Patch Tuesday supersedes the out of band KB4524156 rollup that was released October Third?

According to MS documentation. YES.

Thank You PK. I’m very glad I don’t have to install two security rollups when woody moves us to Defcon 3 or 4.

Catalog metadata change does not necessary mean it would be reflected in WU metadata

they might just forgot to include some replaced update in the chain, and corrected that

[See the full post at: Why was the Oct. 3 Win7 Monthly Rollup, KB 4524157, re-released?]

On the Windows Support page for KB 4524157 there is an extra note under the IMPORTANT section that says:

Note This update does not replace the upcoming October 2019 monthly update, which is scheduled to release on October 8, 2019.

So KB 4519976 does not cumulatively contain the fix offered by KB 4524157. KB 4519976 does not superseed KB 4524157. At least that is how I read that.

That’s NOT what it said.
KB4524157 does not replace KB 4519976 means that the update released on 10/3 would not be in lieu of (instead of) the update released on Patch Tuesday. As a matter of fact, KB4519976 replaces/supercedes  KB 4524157.

Please see #1979140 above for information from MS.

Both patch notes point at each other. They say the exact opposite. Both are MS documents. Woody asked why KB 4524157 was re-released this is the best I can come up with. Maybe Microsoft has no clue either?

This is the support page for KB4519976.
Please show me where it mentions KB4524157.
This is what I’m basing my statement that KB4519976 replaces KB4524157 on:

It does not mention KB4524157 I agree fully. But the support page for KB4524157 says:

This update does not replace the upcoming October 2019 monthly update, which is scheduled to release on October 8, 2019.

Note I am not saying your wrong just that it is confusing in the way Microsoft has added the note. It does not help that there is no mention of a KB number. They just say monthly update. If you then take Woody’s question and try to find an explanation then at least to me it made some sense. Since this is the only thing that hinted at it.

To me, this says that KB4524157 is not the early release of the Patch Tuesday Rollup. That the Patch Tuesday Rollup (a different update) will be released at the regulat time and separate from (not replaced by) KB4524157. They couldn’t state the Patch Tuesday KB number in the KB4524157 documentation because it had not been issued yet.

KB4524157 was released as a checked important update to be pushed in WU/WSUS. My guess is that it was rereleased to change the metadata so that it was no longer pushed and would not be automatically installed through WU/WSUS.

Latest Monthly Rollup (with higher revision), whether Security or Preview, replace all previous Rollups

simple as that
you don’t need any documentation to confirm or state that
