Windows tells me that the Windows Live Essentials update is "important." I have only Windows Live Mail installed, and I do not with to install other Live Essentials items as part of a Windows Live Mail update.
1. How do I stop the Windows Live Essentials update from appearing, while still allowing notification of other important updates? Is this kind of update selectivity not allowed?
2. Would one solution be to allow this update and then remove the "Essential" elements I don't want?
I've read through the Windows Update tutorials and did not find an answer.
Thanks.
