Here's my problem: Windows 7 tells me it has updates, both important and optional. I always accept all the important updates, but I don't want to accept every optional update. So, I'd like to quickly see what's in each optional update.
However, the only way I know to see the contents of the optional updates is click the "More information" link in the right panel of the select updates window. This is clunky, because it opens a new web page for each update. I wish it would give the title or a brief summary right there in the window, so I could quickly go through the list and see which updates are potentially interesting. There's plenty of space in that panel, but it just fills it up with boilerplate text: "Install this update to resolve issues in Windows..."
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a better way quickly see descriptive titles or summaries of the optional updates in the "Select the updates you wish to install" window?
Optional Updatesfor devices currently installed in your system. Why are you getting updates for devices that have never been installed in your system. – Ramhound Sep 24 '12 at 16:29
