I'm in the middle of downloading 30 for Windows 8.1
Since I'm currently dependent on WiFi at a hotel, this
could wind up to be an adventure and an all day affair. :'(

Haven't yet run WU's yet, will update post when done.   ;D

Apparently the Microsoft Web pages for more update information is temporarily down or has been removed from the Windows Update application itself, but you can get IT information about these updates from here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2015/03/10/march-2015-updates.aspx
and here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms15-mar
url links within Windows Update application itself not working at the moment.  Back later.

[EDIT:]  All eleven (11) updates installed w/o issue.  One of the eleven was already successfully installed prior to system reboot.

I had 39 including some for Office 2007. They were already downloaded so it only took a few minutes for them to install. Everything fine so far.

After your announcement in 'Updates' I choosed 37 for my laptop A (Win8.1 pro). Everything worked fine until REBOOT.
That offered me a BSOD with Trap 000015F6 ******* EXCEPTION *******.
I waited 10 or 15 minutes, then tried 'Strg+Alt+Entf' and system booted as usual with 'Configuring updates ...'. I tried to get more information, but until now I didn't succeed.

That's probably why My Win 7 laptop restarted twice. It didn't go into an "infinite loop", it just restarted an extra time. All was well after that.
