Firstly, thanks for the reply.

I think its outdated because I already has the latest 2020 updates installed on my machine.

KB3125574 was installed on my machine, so the updates are no longer applicable?

 
 
 
 

May I know where do you get this information from?

Can you share it with me?

WaynerH Windows 7 / S2008 R2 still require updates that goes back to 2012

 

yes, KB3125574 replace them all on the contained components level (verified myself)

 

unfortunately, Microsoft have/had a rule rgarding metadata supersedence: optional or quality updates do not replace security updates

that's why you don't see in MU catalog that KB3125574 replace

 

i cannot provide you with a solid evidence of this
however, KB3125574 actually live-up to the info mentioed in its KB article
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3125574
meaning, it does replace all post SP1 updates, except the hotfixes listed explicitly (IE updates are exempted of course)
