KB2862330 fails to install

It's said that from day one.  Kernel updates are troublesome.  This is a usb driver update which every Tom, Dick and Harry third party code writing will add their bit to.  We just have a lot of funky usb stuff and it 's being impacted by this update.

I found something in the MS info about problems with this update in which MS say the following:

Known issues with this security update

• After you install security update 2862330, your computer may restart two times. For more information updates that require multiple restart, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

2894518

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894518/ )

Software updates that require multiple reboots may cause task sequence failure within Configuration Manager

Could this be the real reason that all of us are having problems?

Did MS remove the offending update?

MS may have throttled KB2862330 but neither KB2862330 nor MS13-081 suggest that it's been "removed," Ted - at least as of this post.
