Hide unwanted "Available Updates"? "Ken Isaacson" <KJIsaacson[nospam][ at ]gmail.com> 12/12/2008 12:13:20 PM Vista Ultimate SP1 Is there a way to hide unwanted "Available Updates"? By this, I mean that Windows Update continues to show available updates that I don't want (for instance, Croatian Language Pack, and the like). Anyway of saying "no thanks, and don't remind me again"? Thanks. Ken Isaacson SILENT COUNSEL, a legal thriller www.KenIsaacson.com

It's about 35 language packs, each language pack consumes about 0.7 GB and to remove them from your system you have to go through control panel/regional language options... and find "remove language" somewhere there.... What a piece of cr*p!!! Unbelievable!!! -Valery.

Unbelievable!!! > > -Valery.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Funny part, after you uninstall all these language pack from your system, they appear again in "Important" update list!!! And you can't mark them all at once and say "Hide update"... instead, you need to do it manually on each of 34 language updates that you don't want or need! I'm out of my words! -Valery.
