Not sure why they are trying to install at shut down as I have mine set to
'Notify me but don't automatically download or install them'. To answer
your question about unchecking the box - Yes, by unchecking the box next to
the updates it will not remind you about these updates again. However all
of the updates that you have listed there should probably be downloaded and
installed. The only exception might be if you have Messenger disabled and
will always have it disabled then there would be no reason for the update
but if Messenger was ever re-enabled then you may be vulnerable to an attack
without the security update. If you believe you are having trouble with one
particular update then download and install one at a time, reboot a couple
times to make sure there are no problems and then go to the next one and
repeat.
