I just did the same set of updates, (10/12). No problems. I would make sure there is a fresh restore point, then selectively choose the updates and install, one at a time, checking PAF after each one. There is at least one of these that requires a system restart. I think they are all Windows Security updates so you need all of them if you can make them work.
