Posted June 26, 200816 yr At some point ("yesterday" according to update), I was told there were two updates total 22.0MB for Vista. One is KB950124 and the other is KB950125. Both are related to Media Center. One is a database update for the IR database and the other pertains to XBox 360. I've got a laptop, and I loaded Media Center once just to see what it was. I don't have IR capabilities on my laptop nor do I own (or plan on owning) a XBox 360...but Vista insists that I download and install this update. I feel I don't need these....to me Media Center is not a vital part of the system and since I don't use it, I don't want updates for it, Vista keeps saying I need them. I've already gone to Hide Update to hide them...but shouldn't there be SOMETHING in Windows Update that could detect if I use something that actually needs an update? Is loading Media Center once enough to trigger updates or are they pushing them on everyone? I mean, it appears MS did a lot to "upgrade" windows update, but it still seems to think that I need *every single* update when a lot of them don't pertain to me. Can't the process be a bit more intelligent?
