Often times it is not recommended for regular users to install Windows hotfix updates manually, because it can send people to a different servicing track versus just getting your updates from Windows Update all the time. They are really specific pieces of code that are intent to solve specific issues and most of the time these updates are released for particular customers, although in some cases Microsoft has generics ones that could help to improve your system like the two I am going to mention today.
