Yes we know that but that's not what we're talking about. Once the updates have been offered/shown as ready to install in Windows Updates and then hidden with the Show/Hide updates tool, they remain in the Windows Updates list as ready to install. Is there a way to refresh that list (after they have been hidden)?
Possible the files have been downloaded already, try deleting them from c:\windows\softwareDistributions\Download folder and reboot.
I am currently in the same situation too and I dont want the Windows update AMD drivers installing when I know I already have the latest stuff.
Did you even read the thread? It wants to install drivers to device which is not enabled on my PC. I'm using Xonar DGX soundcard and Realtek onboard audio is disabled.
With show-hide troubleshooter hide the updates you do not want. Then go to Services and disable wuauserv. The idea here is to get Windows Update to fail on install of drivers that it has already found. Return to Windows Update if there is a Download or Install button click it. Once Windows Update fails you should see a Retry button. When this happens go back to Services and set wuauserv back to manual. Finally return to Windows Update and click Retry button to make Windows Update search again. The drivers you do not want should now be gone. For the show-hide troubleshooter to work it must be set to hide whatever you do no want before Window Update finds it. If Windows Update is already showing an update you do not want then running the troubleshooter at that point is useless.
