How to hide updates in Windows Updates?

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, and it has 34 Languages as Optional Windows Updates.

I probably will install 1 or 2, but I don't think I will learn the other 32 languages in the next few years, so is there a way to just turn them off instead of having them show up all the time and mix in with other more important optional updates?


Steps to hide Windows Updates:

  • Open Windows Updates
  • Click on View Updates
  • Right click on the item you want to hide
  • Click on Hide

You can also select multiple updates by holding shift or control.
