It's not possible to say - to you or to anyone else - which updates your computer needs to be up-to-date. Computers have different hardware, different software and different configurations. Windows Update uses its knowledge of your computer to deliver the particular updates that your computer needs.

    Hi Rick,

    Security updates and Cumulative Updates are installed automatically on the system without any user intervention.

    Please run winver.exe and post a screenshot of that dialog. It shows the current build number, version, and the OS Edition.
