Do not remind unwanted updates

Annoyed by WUpdate that everytime reminds me to install updates for NOT INSTALLED se, like mediaplayer, silverlight, ...
I cannot find any option to hide those reminds, as in WXP!
Thanks.

OK, thanks!

Right click the said updates and choose hide.

One of the first things I do when reinstalling windows 7 is to turn off automatic updates. The only updates I update are the ones for my gfx card/sound card etc. I've found windows 7 to be excellent out of the box and not in need of updates. They seem to want to bog your system down, imo.

I agree with turning off automatic updates. However, I think it's wise to install all Critical and Important updates. (Updates labeled Medium, Low, or Optional could certainly be at user discretion.) Critical and Important updates usually fix specific security problems.

Good advice to get rid of the updates truly not needed. I did that for one of the updates for my mouse driver.

The above is very bad advice, IMO.

You should update your graphics card from your card's manufacturer's site. One should be very careful about which Window's Updates one decides to ignore. Most help to create a more efficient environment as opposed to "bogging" down the system.

Keep automatic updates on. Just select the option wherein you can choose which ones to install.

That was not what you mentioned earlier.
You seem to believe that updates from the Windows Update repository will "bog" down a system. I disagree.

Why would you present such an assertion if you were not presenting it as some sort of advice?
