Windows 10: I have an update, which I do not want to install. How can I hide it?

Discus and support I have an update, which I do not want to install. How can I hide it? in Windows 10 Updates and Activation to solve the problem; I am using Windows 10 and I have Office 2007 installed. The later obviously is the reason why Microsoft wants me to install "Office Live add-in 1.5".... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Updates and Activation' started by Joergi, Aug 30, 2015.

    I have an update, which I do not want to install. How can I hide it?


    I am using Windows 10 and I have Office 2007 installed. The later obviously is the reason why Microsoft wants me to install "Office Live add-in 1.5".

    I already saw that update when I still was using Windows 8.1 and I hid it. I do not want to use this add-in.

    However, now in Windows 10 there obviously is no way to hide it anymore. I still do not want to install this update.

    Its status currently is "Waiting on installation". This is the case since a few weeks; other updates also install, only this one does not (which is fine so far).

    However, how can I hide this update so that I am no longer bothered by it?

    :)

  3. I have W10 32bit I want to install 64bit how do I do this as the download tool for 64 bit doesn't work!

    It would be nice if we could just trade disks, I have windows 7 x64 bit but my CPU is not compatible with windows 10 x64 so I need 32 bit windows to get the windows 10 32 bit.

    Thanks for the hint! I have tried the diagnostics tool and I have hidden that update.

    However, under "Windows Updates" I still see it. I guess this would change, if I did a new search for updates. In Windows 8.1 this was possible with a button. But in the Windows 10 Windows Update I do not see such a button. There only is a "Next" button below the Office add-in.

    How can I search for updates?

    Part 2 of the tutorial tells you. In windows 7, once you hide the update it is still there until you check for updates again. I didn't use Windows 8.

    I don't get it. :-(

    Of the tutorial, I went through "Option 1". The result should be that the update is hidden. Also when I start that diagnostics tool again, it really tells me that the update would be hidden. Looks good.

    "Option 2" in the tutorial describes how to unhide a previously hidden update again. That is not what I want...

    I just want to search for updates. (In Windows 8/8.1 this functionality basically was the same as in Windows 7.)
