This update applies only to computers that are running Internet Explorer 11 and that do have update 2919355 (for Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2) or update 2929437 (for Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) installed. It's a big rollup, too - designed to fix 59 separately identified security holes. If you are running Windows 7 SP 1 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) and haven't installed MS 14-018/KB 2929437, Windows Update won't show you this month's MS 14-035/KB 2957689 patch rollup ditto for folks running Windows 8.1 without Update 1. In many cases, attempting to install Patch B will automatically install Patch A first - no such luck in this case. Microsoft has had patch dependencies before: You won't get Patch B until you install Patch A. Only those of us who rely on Windows Update or Microsoft Update get snubbed.)
Also note that the IE11 patches are available for organizations that use Windows Server Update Services/WSUS, Intune, or System Center Configuration Manager - see KB 2963950. If you want IE11 and/or its patches, you have to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Update 1. (Note that Internet Explorer 11 does not run on Windows 8. On Windows 7 SP1 machines with IE11, this month's patches won't appear until users have successfully installed April's Windows 7 IE11 patch MS 14-018/KB 2929437. Last week's monster Black Tuesday IE patch, MS 14-035, doesn't even appear using Windows Update on Windows 8.1 machines unless users have successfully installed Windows 8.1 Update 1, the infamous KB 2919355.
The situation isn't as dire as it was (and is) with the forced march of users to Windows 8.1 Update 1, but as Computerworld's Gregg Keizer first revealed on Sunday, Microsoft won't offer any patches for IE11 until users get specific, older patches installed first.
