Windows 7 update keeps installing the same 5 important updates. Can someone help?

I did not realize it had anything to do with IE.       

It doesn't - but your reply tells me that IE11, at least, is fully-patched at Windows Update.

Please begin your own, new thread to avoid further confusion. See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/page/faq#faqAskQuestion1

In your first post in the new thread, please answer each of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions in a correspondingly-numbered list, preferably without quoting my post:

1a. When (approx. date) did you purchase the computer?

1b. Did Win7 (64-bit) come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it, did you do a clean install of Win7, or did you upgrade the computer to Win7?

2. What is the full name of your installed anti-virus application or security suite and when (approx. date) does your current subscription expire? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender) are installed? What third-party firewall (if any)?
3. Has a(nother) Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?
4. Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial [PICK ONE] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

5a. Is KB3035583, KB2952664 and/or KB2990214 listed in Installed Updates (not Update History)?

5b. Is KB3032359 still being offered when you run a manual check for updates?

6. *Assuming Java is installed =>*Is Java Version 8 Update 45 (or higher) or Java Version 7 Update 79 (or higher) installed? TEST HERE USING INTERNET EXPLORER ONLY! => http://java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp [2]
7. Is Adobe Flash Player v18.0.0.160 (or higher) installed? TEST HERE USING INTERNET EXPLORER ONLY! => http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ 
8. Is Firefox, Chrome or any other alternate browser installed?
9. Are you in the habit of using "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic; System Mechanic; RegCure; RegClean Pro; Advanced SystemCare; Registry Booster; McAfee QuickClean; Glary Utilities; AVG PC TuneUp; Norton Registry Cleaner; PCTools Optimiser; SpeedUpMyPC; PC Doctor; TuneUp Utilities; WinMaximizer; WinSweeper; Comodo System Cleaner; Advanced System Optimizer; CCleaner's Registry Cleanercomponent)?

[1] Start | Control Panel | Programs and Features | View installed updates (in left-hand menu)

[2] No need to install Java if it's not already installed!

=> Now reply to this thread once more & give me link to your own, new thread.

Thanks again.  I did not realize it had anything to do with IE.  I run Win 7, 64 bit and in IE Explorer I found 11.020 (KB3058515). Underneath there is a tick for Update automatically.  Confuseduser

Well, you're certainly not alone! => https://goo.gl/TbeM1U

Assuming IE11 is installed, what Update Version & KB number are displayed in the second line of text in IE11's Help | About [Alt+H+A] tab; e.g., Update Version: 11.0.54 (KB1231231) ?

They were KB3004375

                       3001432

                       3021952

                       3032359

                       2871997

I noticed first in April, that they kept installing themselves successfully, especially the first two.  However, they did not show up in the list of installed Updates.  When I ran Belarc, no updates were missing. When I removed the Windows Update Cleaning (from Disk Cleanup) I had no problem.   Thanks for your interest. Confuseduser

And the KB numbers of the five updates were...?
