Basically Its a Head up warning especially to Newbies who a wondering what this Message is being Flashed Up and wont go away Never happened this much when I started surfing and the Updates were scatter gunned at random Much more organised now with the Patch Tuesday System at least a Declaration of the Proposed downloads is helpful to Me to see what may be heading my way. So Naturally I shall share the Numbers.
Try this link if the other is not working

Only one for me, KB943055, so far anyway. For the record, this time I was not elsewhere when the download started and finished. Once more MS would have restarted the computer automatically after 4 minutes if I was not here to choose Yes or No.
