- In february 2018 Microsoft didn't release a "Rollup Update" for e.g. Windows 7.
- People who are still using Internet Explorer 11 (I am one of them) still can update their IE 11 browser. MS has continued to release a separate "Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 11" every month, alongside with the "Rollup Update". And even in february 2018 MS issued another "Cumulative Update for IE 11" (KB 4088835)".
- These IE 11 updates aren't released through the "Windows Update" feature/mechanism. Instead the user has to go to the "Microsoft Update Catalog" website and search with the keywords "Internet Explorer 11 update".

- I can only report on what's available for Win 7. Haven't got a clue if it applies to Win 8 or Win 10 (think: "Edge").

i took a view into it...
windows 8.1 seems to be fine. no missing ie11-update this month (feb.)
- I took a better look at the "MS Update catalogus" website. It turns out that MS released an IE 11 update for Win 8.1 in february 2018 as well. But it has a different KB number (KB 4074736) than the update for Win 7. (Win 8.1 updates Always have - compared with Win 7 updates - a different KB number). To find that Win 8.1 IE 11 update the user must sort the list of updates on the date of release.
i know and i have :-) about the microsoft-update-channel
but thanks for this info - to update for my w7

released at 13.2. and installed with:
2018-02 – Monatliches Sicherheitsqualitätsrollup für Windows 8.1 für x64-basierte Systeme (KB4074594)
- Ouch. Did a search with the words "Security Rollup" on the "MS update catalogus" website and then a number of things showed up. It turns out that MS DID release "Security Rollups" for e.g. Win 7 and for a number of .NET software versions.
- But the "Security Roll up" wasn't issued through the "Windows Update" mechanism. I am VERY sure of that !!!!
- The KB numbers of the february 2018 "Monthly Security Rollup Update":
Windows 7: KB 4074598
Windows 8.1: KB 4074594
.NET v3.5 through v4.7.1 for Windows 7: KB 4076492
- If the user wants to find other "Monthly Security Rollup Updates" for other Operating systems and/or .NET versions, then search the "MS Update Catalogus" with the words "Security Rollup" and sort the results on the date (released).

on my w7 i have microsoft update too im afraid, i have the updates
- Odd, very odd. Perhaps MS is getting a little "sloppy" ? Anyway, I now have the installation files for these updates and that's all that matters right now.
- I fear the latest "Cumulative Update for IE 11" update isn't "a success". I installed it yesterday and now the CPU fan makes (a lot) more noise. I will try if removing the update will help help to "cool things down".
- Besides the "Monthly Rollup Update" for both Windows (e.g. for Win 7 and Win 8) and the .NET software, the user also can download the "Preview" versions of those updates. Search on the "MS Update Catalogue" website with the words "Preview Rollup Update" and "Preview Rollup Update .NET".
- I failed to find the february 2018 Preview Rollup for the .NET software. Is that still "Work in progress" ?
- Search the "Microsoft Update Catalogus" website with "2018-03" and see what shows up. At this moment MS already has some 13 updates available for downloading & installing this month. These updates are "Updates" and "Cumulative updates" but no " Rollup" updates. I assume those "Rollup" updates will be available tomorrow ?
- My personal opinion is and remains that MS should release a new Service Pack for both Win 8 & Win 7. And after doing that MS should release only "Cumulative Updates" (either with or without updates for IE 11). That - IMO - would make life for A LOT OF computer users AND for Microsoft much easier. Just install e.g. Win 7 (with or without SP1), install the latest Service Pack and the latest "Cumulative Update". And the computer user is ready to go.
