RANT: Why bother hiding a MS update?

Have you ever had a update cause you issues? Sometimes a update makes your system crash or just doesn't get along with something and you choose not to install it? Well I have had this issue and I chose to hide the update KB2724197 and KB2731847. I didn't want the updates and felt since, "An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit this vulnerability.", and the update gave me errors, "Crash dump initialization failed!" and my computer just felt slower after so I said buh bye to the 2 updates. Well without my knowledge and against my wishes, MS installed them anyway! How? By revising the updates to a new KB and removing the old KB. I said no fricking KB2724197 and MS re-named it KB2799494 and I installed it of course like I usually do with security updates only to find the same frigging errors again in my logs, "Crash dump initialization failed!". Same with KB2731847 they renamed it so many times now I cant keep up to avoid it. KB2731847 in MS12-055 replaced by KB2761226 KB2724197 in MS12-068 replaced by KB2799494 So every month I have to now waste my time to hop, skip jump and bend over backwards to make sure I avoid s**t I DO NOT WANT. It's pretty frigging ridiculous. /rant KB2731847 is now KB2778344 KB2724197 is now KB2799494
