Duplicate Updates for Office 2013
Hello,
after several tries and re-tries to install some Office 2013 updates, it was giving me errors or download problems, now my win10 seems to be happy with its updates.
My problem NOW is that i have multiple and duplicate (x3 or x5) entries in the installed entries in the Installed Updates List: see screenshots
In the registry I found those duplicates in these keys location, an example for all:
Security Update for Microsoft Excel 2013 (KB3085502) 64-Bit Edition DUPLICATES 5 times.
And more in Uninstall entries1.

As you can see what changes is the Product ID while the PatchID is the same.1.

Should I clean duplicates entries?
Will it affect my system performance?
I'm afraid it will defrag and bloat the registry.
Thanks for your help
