Dani;
You installed them they are the updates from Windows Update.
Microsoft explains about them in detail in the article referenced by
the associated Q number.
Did you look for them in the Knowledge Base and read them?
They are easy to find.

You are free to remove the updates and leave your computer vulnerable.
Hopefully you do not delete other components of the computer simply
because of your own lack of understanding of their purpose.
If you have been indiscriminately deleting unknowns, you may be better
off performing a Clean Installation to fix the damage you may have
done.

Instead of insulting Microsoft and showing your own ignorance, you
could do a little quick research and come up with the correct answers.

This article may help:
