1. click the start button and go to "accessories"
2. then go to "system tools" folder
3. open "security center"
4. once you're inside the security center scroll down to the bottom
5. you will see "manage security settings for:"
6. click "automatic updates"
7. once you're inside automatic updates, choose "notify me but don't automatically download or install them" and click the apply button
after that, your computer will tell you about updates, but you can decide whether or not you want to install them.

To control or disable automatic updating, open the System icon in Control Panel (or right-click My Computer and select Properties), and choose the Automatic Updates tab.
From there just select the turn off automatic updating.

When you go to the Windows Update site you can hit the little + sign to expand the description of the update, at the bottom of the description there'll be a checkbox to hide the update (or not show it again, I don't remember exactly).

Always install the critical updates (the express install does only criticals).
The optional ones you can pick and choose. I don't install a lot of these.

Having a replica skill you wont have the skill to replace your 'Media participant' - which countless websites for watchin Vids now insist on ( they frequently insist on the extra moderen version). Theres no way around that, you will could desire to splash out on the real undertaking.

..Your automatic updates is on.
.....Start/Control Panel/Security Center
.......Select Manage Security settings for
........Automatic Updates.
..........A new page will open.
...........Select the 4 th option. ( Read the Warning !)
Para two : .......Better to have some choice for Automatic updates, as we tend to forget.
Para three : ...........Go to Updates site and select your choice/s for download there.
For instance you can unselect WMP if you are not interested.
and the languages, NET etc.
Para four: Do not skip security updates.

i believe there is an option to not show these updates again, and you can click on each individual update you don't want

Hit cancel, it asks "you sure?", hit ok, and it stops. That's for me. ( I do this when it's on the task bar.)
