You have a desktop computer that runs Windows Vista Ultimate. Windows Update is configured as
shown in the image below:
Windows Update is prompting you that an optional update is available. However, you do not want to
install this update. When you view Windows Update, you get the following message:
You are required to configure Windows Update in such a manner that it does not notify you every
now and then about its optional update. Which of the following actions will you take to accomplish
the task?
A.
In the Windows Update configuration, select the Never check for updates option.
B.
Delete the optional update.
C.
Hide the optional update.
D.
In the Windows Update configuration, select the Check for updates but let me choose whether to
download and install them.
Explanation:
In order to accomplish the task, you will have to hide the optional update by right-clicking on the
update you want to hide, and selecting the Hide updateoption.
The Hide updateoption stops Windows from notifying you about updates that you have already
decided not to download or install.
D and A are incorrect. By changing the Windows Update configuration, Windows will not be
able to automatically update the computer with the latest updates available. Moreover, it will
increase the administrative burden on you to regularly check for updates and implement them if
available.B is incorrect. By deleting the optional update, you will not be notified for some time, but
later on the update will be downloaded again because of the auto-update settings. Then again this
update will be prompted.
