Windows Updates - I only have 11 'important' updates to download. I believe there are also 5 'critical' updates. I don't understand why I don't have them.

I also have KB3159398 included in the update list. But the security bulletin says this is for Windows 7

Could anyone offer some advice re the above?

Thanks.

Did you recently re-install or something? If you have an idea which critical updates you need you could download the standalone versions.

It's for 8.1 too:
