        https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3172729 
            When you try to install this security update, you may receive an error message that resembles the following: 

   (X) the update is not applicable to your computer

   Each Windows version requires a Servicing Stack Update (SSU). If you install updates by using Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or the Microsoft Update Catalog, an SSU is automatically installed as part of the update. If you receive this error message, and if security update 3172729 is not already installed, you must install the corresponding SSU.
This patch majorly deals in the organization who is using Secure boot in their environment

      3. KB3178465

      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3178465 
    This security update disables the ability of the Negotiate process to fall back to NTLM when Kerberos authentication fails for password change operations. 

Currently, the ability to change the passwords of disabled or locked-out accounts is supported only by NTLM. It is not supported by the Kerberos protocol. This security update prevents the Negotiate process from falling back to NTLM for password change operations when Kerberos authentication fails. Therefore, you will no longer be able to change the password for disabled or locked-out accounts after you install this security update. It is not secure to change disabled or locked-out user account passwords by using NTLM. This is why the ability of Negotiate to fall back to NTLM is disabled by this security update.

 

Apart from TechNet some blogs mentions about this patch causes issue Link1 &  Link2.

      4.   KB3178034
