Inaktivera eller dölja valfria uppdateringar på den Windows utsikten
En av saker, som kör mig som är galet på den Windows utsikten, är alla av valfria uppdateringar, som visar upp i den Windows uppdateringen, listar. Jag önskar att se den Windows uppdateringen och att se, att det inte finns några uppdateringar, att inte se att det finns en lista av 14 språkpackar som jag inte behöver egentligen
Öppna precis upp den Windows uppdateringen, och du styrkan ser något gilla detta:
Men, när du klickar på, beskåda tillgängliga uppdateringar, dig ser detta:
Jag har denna lömska misstanke, som jag ska aldrig någonsin behov den finlandssvenska språkpacken, att vara i USEN och alla.
Alla som du måste att göra för att dölja dessa uppdateringar, ska rätt-klicka på ett objekt i lista, och väljer ”skinnuppdateringen” från menyn.
, då nu jag ser den Windows uppdateringen, ser jag vad I-förmiddagen som förväntar att se i första förlägger:
Om du avgör någonsin till flyttningen till Finland och det, önskar du att installera uppdateringarna, finns det ”ett återställande dolde uppdateringar” anknyter på den vänster sidan av avskärma som ska låter dig sätta dem tillbaka i lista.

The “Windows Update” process doesn’t seem to work on my recently purchased Inspiron E1505 Dell laptop computer (with Vista Home Premium).
There is a strange looking icon (a little blue square with a gold ring around it) at the bottom right tray. When I click on it the message states that there are updates ready for updating. When I initiate the process the machine spends about 20 minutes doing something and then I get the following message… “Windows could not search for new updates.” With error code “80073712″. When attempting to trouble-shoot this issue I cannot find anything pertaining to this error code.
When I check “Windows Update” on the Control Panel it says “Never” under “Most recent check for updates”.
How can I fix this situation?
Edward:
same problem.
Been going on for months with Vista premium.
same error message, over and over.
tells me there are updates,but then fails to install them.
I was in LENGTHY communication with microsoft over this.
They finally threw up their hands, waived all service charges, and told me to do an “inplace upgrade” which means, run my original Vista CD’s and do a repair.
they assure me that if i do this, no settings, programs or files will be in any way affected [infected?]
Of course, there is no way i am going to do this.
I have been using vista long enough to know: i’ve tried some of their fixes before. been down that road.
Suffice to say that i have been using Vista long enough [about 9 months] to have learned this:
any error messages, suggestions for repair, or unnerving screens that appear from MS Vista: IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE.
As long as you can still do your work, just don’t look at that error message or screen-
DO BACKUPS RELIGIOUSLY, DAILY – and keep working.
WHATEVER YOU DO – DO NOT TRY TO FIX ANYTHING via a windows fix.
I have tried. You wind up with disaster: repairing all sorts of “fixed” settings and screens and new problems.
Vista Rule #1: get back to XP [ if, like me, it is too late to buy a mac.]
Vista Rule #2: if it is too late to go back to XP, then,[ like me], you are screwed.
That’s it.
Forget the updates, forget trouble free computing, forget not having constant annoyances ["you don't have permission to do this"].
Just consider yourself lucky that Gates doesn’t run phone companys, too; and do the best you can. But WHATEVER YOU DO, Don’t let Windows try to fix ANYthing!!
Just wanted to say thanks for the informative info on hiding the language packs. Worked like a charm. Previous update screens for other Windows products were far more intuitive. In fact, even your idea of right clicking doesn’t say to just close the screen there’s nothing to click after your done.
I ran vista on a homemade machine that most could never afford to buy from a store. I ran home basic upgraded from xp nonstop ( sixty two days straight NO NETWORK ), no restarts, burning countless dvd and running copmplex imaging software…UNTIL I sold out to try a free trial software from the net. That was when the update took control, since then, its crashed three times and twice with the kind of MBR damage that I would expect from a NSA strike force.
I hate myself…I feel so violated… My beautiful creation, now comprimised.

Yeah, pretty obvious trick there Chris. But, I have about 50 language pack “optional updates”. Now, show me how to hide ALL of them at once and I’ll be impressed. I got through about ten and said wtf?? The way it is, I have to right click on 50 lang packs and select hide??? Whoa dude, my time is way too useles… er ah, valuable to be mucking around with that. But IT IS very annoying to see all those friggin lang packs all the time.
@Terry:
1) Right-click, H.
2) Allow admin privileges.
3) Right-click, H.
4) Repeat step 3 for each language pack.
It takes less than a minute.
Thanks. And yes Terry it takes it took me around 20-30 second to hide my 37 language pacts so it shouldn’t be much of a problem.
I’m having a problem where UPDATE is forcing the language packs to install even after I’ve hid them, and uninstalled them, they keep re-installing themselves.
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!
ADVICE?
Now, if only someone will tell us how to go the OTHER way and show all the optional updates that used to show up in Microsoft Update under XP
Windows Update and Microsoft Update under Vista only gives you (overtly) the option to see High Priority and Recommended updates. There is no longer an Optional option. I, personally, want some of those updates. Where has the Optional option gone to? Having to download updates (for .Net, drivers, betas, et al) manually is a pain.
Thanks for the help. It worked perfectly for my Vista Ultimate edition.
That’s easy, I wish it were as easy to remove them, but the right-click+H thing is better than the alternative.
Just go into Windows Update and choose Restore Hidden Updates, works on any version of XP, Vista or 7.
If you are referring to the BETA software updates, you have to turn on beta in the settings.
If you want to see something really funny, go to Windows Help and Support from Windows Update, type beta and hit enter. The first entry is “Activate Windows on this computer”
Dave, I am having exactly the same problem and have found no resolution. Once a week my machine starts downloading and installing all of the language packs on it’s own. I have disabled Windows Update but am at a loss for other things to try.
You disabled Windows Update, or Automatic Updates?
Windows Update doesn’t do anything on its own, it is a totally manual process; Automatic Updates does. If you have gone into the Control Panel for Automatic Updates and turned it completely off, there should be nothing updating whatsoever (you should then do manual updates with Windows Update).
Without any more information provided, there’s not much else I can recommend other than checking that Automatic Updates is disabled, or at least set to only notify you of available updates.
HOW TO STOP THIS UPDATES???!!!! THEY’RE ALWAYS DECREASING MY MEMORY ALMOST 6GB?
I am having issues with Windows Vista updates as well. I have had my new HP notebook since Feb and after the first month whenever I install the updates it will be fine for a day or two and then on the next start up I get the lovely blue screen telling me Windows has shut down to prevent damage…oh goodie…back to the safe mode and system restore. I am in contact with HP and have disabled automatic updates but am now afraid to do manual updates (my ESET virus protection wants me to). From what I am reading here Vista just plain sucks? Is this the consensus? Is there nothing to be done? I am only slightly above beginner when it comes to tech savvy so…auuuggghhhh!!!!!
On Windows 7 you can select the first language pack then shift-click the last language pack to select them all. When you right-click, the Hide Updates context menu option applies to all the selected items.
Don’t know if Vista allows you to select multiple updates in this way, but it probably does — it’s a pretty standard UI feature when Windows displays a list.
