The only way for the detection to know you think otherwise is to check a list and not display an update if it's on the list.<br /> And you need a way to edit the list in case you made a mistake on hiding an update. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delete-hidden-updates#post-5620 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 16:33:15 +0000 mpc104 5620@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>its like a bill i can hide it but i know its there idont need to delete updates i want to! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delete-hidden-updates#post-5609 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 06:19:19 +0000 jd2066 5609@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What's wrong with hiding them? You will only see them again if you open "Restore Hidden Updates" so it doesn't seem like a problem. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/delete-hidden-updates#post-5608 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 04:29:57 +0000 mpc104 5608@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>is there any way to delete unwanted updates on a dell pc with vista basic you can hide them but i would like to delete the ones that dont apply to me mosty the ones marked optional.thank you all for any help.merry christmas to all! </p>
