madmax012 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 not sure if this is what you need....but you can try this...in windows update settings select the setting which nivrid05 has shown in above post... then after searching for updates if you dont want to install a particular update that appears in the windows update search then you can uncheck it and then right click on that update and then select 'Hide update'... this will hide that update from future searches preventing you from accidently installing that update....

But if I uncheck it and I hide it, then it will not be installed in the future anymore - and what if I want to install that update? When you hide it, you can restore it. But if you close that screen, or you go somewhere else on that screen. Then it is gone...And can someone tell me what the following update is about:KB980248: Update for Windows Vista - Recommend Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax012 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 in the windows update window on the left hand side there is an option named 'Restore Hidden Updates'..... use this to view the updates that you hid before... for details on any specific update use google...

*dcs18 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 And can someone tell me what the following update is about:KB980248: Update for Windows Vista - Recommend UpdateThis update removes the Windows File Protection from applicable Windows font files. This update is necessary so the Office 2010 installer can update the fonts. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
