Hey APGuy. Whatever the reason is, I hope it works out well.

Anyone can edit the definition files, but I don't think it's very likely. Updating programs is not that big of a problem.

Is there a way to check if somethings superseded other than checking the Update Catalog?

How do you keep track of new updates that become available, or old ones that are removed?

I think I found three security updates that weren't included in AP's Win8 list.

2016/9:
KB3175024
KB3174644

KB4012213
