Solution 1:
What, specifically, is included in the May 2017 Security Monthly Quality Rollup that is not included in the May 2017 Security Only Quality Update?
The KB4019264 indicates the following
This Monthly Rollup update does not include security fixes for Internet Explorer. In order to obtain the security fixes for Internet Explorer, the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB4018271 should also be installed. Note that the Security Monthly Quality Rollup does contain security updates for Internet Explorer.
If you use update management processes other than Windows Update and you automatically approve all security updates classifications for deployment, the May 2017 Security-Only Quality Update KB4019263, the May 2017 Security Monthly Quality Rollup KB4019264, and the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB4018271 are deployed. We recommend that you review your update deployment rules to make sure the desired updates are deployed.
Additionally the KB4019264 article indicates:
This security update includes improvements and fixes that were a part of update KB4015552 (released April 18, 2017) and also resolves the following:
Addressed issue where, after installing security update KB4015549, applications that use msado15.dll stop working.

Deprecated SHA-1 Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 for SSL/TLS Server Authentication. See Advisory 4010323 for more information.
Security updates to Internet Explorer, Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows COM, Microsoft ActiveX, Windows Server, Windows kernel, and Microsoft Windows DNS.
The KB4019263 article indicates that:
This security update includes quality improvements. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update. Key changes include:
Updated Windows Cryptography API to deprecate SHA-1 for SSL/TLS Server Authentication, including in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 . See Advisory 4010323 for more information.
Security updates to Microsoft Graphics Component, Windows COM, Microsoft ActiveX, Windows Server, Windows kernel, and Microsoft Windows DNS.
As for the reason a Windows 7 KB article talks about Microsoft Edge, it's simply, they actually used identical verbage for the Windows 10 patch for that bullet.
