The Updates issued 3-11-15 include the 2 updates listed above which affect Windows 7, and Windows 2008 R2, which are proving rather problematical for...some. The number who are having issues is overall small, but those that do are seeing things like endless loop reboots and other 'tear your hair out' symptoms. OTOH I know lots of prople who have already installed all these updates without incident. Good luck.

Update:
 
I have now run all the Updates on 4 Win  7 machines here. 3 installed them all with no issues, the 4th box failed to install 4 of the updates on first try, installed the recalcitrant 4 on 2nd try without incident. Conclusion: there is no inherent flaw/bug in any of these updates, but there may be some combination of currently installed software and the exact status of your overall installation which is causing issues for a small but significant number of users. Pray Murphy doesn't notice you when you attempt these....as always never hurts to create a fresh backup image before you start....
