Below are results of MGADiag. and a list of updates that I THINK I should remove.
I have a clean install of Windows now and want to do only the right updates. I have 128 important and 64 optional.
I am guessing there is this utility that does away with all of these with the "Update Removal XTR" But hope to get a bit more info. Is their a utility that lets you hide updates from a list and or a tool that I can use to obtain a list of these 128 important and 64 optional updates That I have downloaded but not installed. ? MS lets you painstackinly copy each one to get the update KB number and wont let me just copy the text I see before me ! Anyway --
I hope to find an easier way to remove updates from the 5 windows 7 computers we use.
