KB3021952 (Feb "Cumulative" Update for IE) invloves a "bundled" update, it includes KB3023607. KB3032359 (March "Cumulative" Update for IE) is "bundled" it includes KB3040335 & KB3023607 (Again???) KB3032359 (allegedly) supersedes KB3021952 but both are needed along with KB3023607 to have a fully patched system. The problem occurs when Windows Update Cleanup (deepclean) is run after all patches are installed, it removes KB3023607, the "bundled" update as superseded :

2015-03-12 09:31:31, Info CBS DC: Package_for_KB3023607~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0: unique components: 58 Size: 20.54 MB (21,538,670 bytes) 2015-03-12 09:31:31, Info CBS Total size of superseded packages: 20.54 MB (21,538,670 bytes)

The KB's 3021952 & 3032359 (5.2mb) that are continually removed/re-offered/re-installed/re-removed... lather, rinse, repeat... are actually the child package component KB3023607 which gets removed by deepclean.

At this point, it's evident that MS needs to investigate why Windows Update cleanup detection logic is ...broken (for lack of a better word) on some user's computer's only, there has to be a "missing link" ... I'm out of ideas and don't see too many here or elsewhere on the Innernetz

.

I have 2 options to correct the problem of KB3031432 not appearing in Installed Updates but yet the MSU installer returns the message KB3031432 is already installed... and the PendingDeletes that won't.

  1. Repair Install
  2. Restore from prior backup image (2/12/15, after Feb Black Patch Tuesday, tested on spare HDD.

Thank to everyone who replied, and a special thanks to "J"... seems you're one of the few I've seen around here that "gets" it.

Regards & Hasta la Bye-Bye

Edit to add: I have successfully restored my system to a previous backup image (2/12/15) prior to the "March Patch Madness" described in my OP, uninstalled the troublesome KB2852386 that enables Update Cleanup and re-applied the March '15 patches, all now appear in Installed Updates, including KB's 3023607, 3035131 & 3031432. Kindly mark this as "Answer" as I consider this matter resolved... if only temporarily.

Thank you.

    ...so it's likely nothing more than some small fault of MS guys who drink too much beer on weekend before Patch Tuesday... and as far as I remember the similar issue already occurred once with another update earlier maybe a year or two ago... that update was installed, then reoffered again, then put to hidden list, then disappeared from the hidden list... when that time issue was finally patched by MS...

     This is the part marked "Answer" by me. Windows Updates this month were FUBAR in too many ways to recount. Serves M$ right for abandoning their best OS ever (IMHO) by not releasing an SP2 in favor of the disastrous hybrid OS bolted onto an OS Windows 8. Some tin foil hatters might even say it's by design.

    BTW, there is another minor issue of MS updates of Feb-Mar this year.

    It's again about same KB3021952 of Feb'2015.

    Error detail in short:

    Faulting application name: IEXPLORE.EXE, version: 11.0.9600.17689, time stamp: 0x54e68526

    Faulting module name: MSHTML.dll, version: 11.0.9600.17690, time stamp: 0x54e7d023

    Exception code: 0xc0000005

    Fault offset: 0x00407d0b

    Faulting process id: 0x1d80

    Faulting application start time: 0x01d06343fe94a159

    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

    Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\MSHTML.dll

    Report Id: 56d716dd-cf3f-11e4-88e9-0019b96e0cd1

    This error occurs on irregular basis only at some web pages (not all), and it doesn't crash IE11 completely with windows closing but just causing some delay in operation.

    Also if KB3021952 removed completely this error doesn't return at same webs.

    And Mar'2015 KB3032359 doesn't affect this odd issue at all.

    Rgds,
