How do disable irrelevant or unwanted windows updates?

Question

Windows keeps requesting to install the same updates that I have told it 'no' to several times, and it asks every time I turn my computer on.

How do I tell it 'Absolutely not. Never. No. Stop asking.' (the same answer you tell your immature teen when he requests to drive your porsche ).

Before you press Close as Duplicate The answers in How to disable irrelivant Windows Updates are no longer relevant - when you go to the windows update page, it tells you to use your windows update program (Start > Windows Updates) and the options he mentions are not there.

I'm using Windows 7.

In Windows Update, view the list of updates (by clicking on text like "1 optional update is available"). Right-click on each one you're not interested in, and select "Hide Update".
