This is a known issue about a particular update that came out about 2 weeks ago that would not install with other updates - exactly what happened to you. Installing one at a time was the solution. No need to dis-select.
p.s. The "don't remind me" in Bill Gates language is called "Hide". Right click an update (or SHFT-Click to select many) and right click where you will then get an option to hide it from ever showing. You can always restore hidden updates from the Windows Update Window in the left panel.
