Where are downloaded (but not installed) Microsoft/Windows Updates kept?

Question

Long story short - I have an update that was hidden, I restored it, now I don't want it again.

I cannot hide this update anymore because it is now downloaded (at least I think that's the reason it won't let me hide it again).

I'm sick of de-selecting it every update cycle, where is the file/index/whatever that I can remove/modify to remove this update from my local system (remember it is not installed yet)? Any ideas?

Serious answers only. This is not a question about my behaviour or yours, but if you are only answering this question to gain points - FO.

Answer 2

i actually do not comprehend what those are for per chance its in simple terms to replace the equipment yet i'd pass for it because updates are not to any extent further a nasty element and are frequently for the further appropriate. notwithstanding in case you take advantage of Norton virus test it does updates many times to save up with more recent viruses that are accessible.
