    Hide them all. It's what I do.
    Especially the graphics driver, they usually try to overwrite your more current version with an older one. I can't figure out for the life of me why it keeps happening either.

    The only way I would install office updates is if they relate to .net
    ...that is assuming that I didn't have office installed, which I do.
