Microsoft recently released two new Patch Tuesday updates to Windows 7 users: security update KB4463104, and monthly roll-up KB4462923. Both these patches focus on improving the overall security level of the OS. More specifically, they add a series of security improvements to various Windows components, including the Windows Media Player, and more.
For more information about the complete changelog, you can check out Microsoft’s support page:
Microsoft hasn’t offered detailed information about the specific security improvements that the Windows 10 October 2018 Patch Tuesday updates bring. The company only said that these patches feature:
Security updates to Windows Media Player, Windows Graphics, Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows Storage and Filesystems, Windows Kernel, and the Microsoft JET Database Engine.
Windows 7 KB4463104 also fixes an issue in which all guest virtual machines running Unicast NLB fail to respond to NLB requests after the virtual machines restart.

Windows 7 KB4462923 breaks Office
Again, this is how one Windows 7 user describes his update experience:
After the updates were successfully installed, and the computer rebooted, I could not open Office 2013 Excel, Word or PowerPoint. I could however open Office 2013 Publisher and Access.
I would get the message: “The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.”
And sometimes depending on how I tried to open the application, would also get the message: “There was a problem sending the command to the program.”
In order to fix Office 2013 issues, you can try to repair the package by going to Control Panel > Programs & Features. Right-click on Office 2013 and then select the Repair option.
