I would be willing to bet that it's an update that's interacting with a couple of different things that could be unique to someone's installation. That's why not all updates pose an issue for everyone.
Given what MS is doing (or atleast what I have read that they are doing) with Win 7 and Win 8 updates, I wouldn't suggest doing updates anyway.
There is a trade off with not doing updates, but when there is a question as to what those updates are actually doing, then to me it seems that it's a push as to which way I go and the cons associated with that.

there are no cons with no updates for windows. I dont buy into all this "security vulnerablility BS" window updates do nothing but bog down pcs over time and possible cause programs to stop working

The ever so much loved telemetry of Win 10 is starting to creep into Win 7 and Win 8. KB3068708, KB3022345 (replaced the first one listed), KB3075249, KB3080149. These were actually known back in August of last year, so don't know what all is available now. When I started using Linux as a host and Win 7 as a guest, I don't even have SP1 on it, but I also don't have any internet connection to the VM either. It all goes through the Linux side of things.
Rather you believe it or not, there are vulnerabilities to codes. Unless you don't go online or deny access to that specific operating system, it has vulnerabilities. Now the question becomes, do the updates actually fix the those issues and/or do the actually add new ones. That becomes the question.
One source that I saw listed about 15 OS vulnerabilities that affected XP through 8.1. So they do exist, that isn't even going into zero day vulnerabilities. Which people won't know about until there is a good sized infection using said vulnerability.
Linux has it's own vulnerabilities as well, nothing is perfect. As with Mac.
If you want total security, don't go online.
Now, all these people that want backdoors into OSs or into processors etc, those are huge vulnerabilities. Again, to me, anything that opens up 2 way communication that I can't control, is a vulnerability ready to be exploited.

I know this is a different question than what has been discussed
How many of you still have older versions on the same computer?? I have Corel X3, X5,X6 & X7 ......thinking about removing 3 & 5. What's your though?? Sidney
Because my digitizing software directly interfaces with Corel, it's usually no bueno for that program to work right if you have older (or newer) versions installed then what the program is designed to work with. It's even very specific in the install order, digitizing software first, then DRAW.
