Already have the two HKLM registry keys.

KB 4524752: optional/unchecked/recommended.

Size: 223KB vs. BobbyB’s 210KB above.

What anonymous #1975669 posted is worth repeating:

To disable the IE browser (in Win 7):

1. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off.

2. Deselect Internet Explorer 11.

3. Reboot.

I still apply the monthly IE11 security updates, and have noticed no problems since disabling the browser >2 years ago.

As always, YMMV.

Win 7 Pro x64, AMD Phenom II X4 920, Group B

Downloaded and installed SO update KB4516033 and restarted.

Downloaded and installed IE11 update KB4516046 (w/o fix) and restarted.

WU listed 3 checked “Important” updates:

Security Update for Microsoft Excel 2010 (KB4475574) 32-Bit Edition
Security Update for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB4464566) 32-Bit Edition
Security Update for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB4475599) 32-Bit Edition

Downloaded/Installed and restarted.

WU then listed checked “Important” update KB4474419 (SHA-2 code-signing support)

Downloaded/Installed and restarted.

All telemetry settings remain Disabled.

If the order of installation was incorrect, what problems should I expect?
