  2. Run the Show or hide updates tool and select Next at first screen.

How do you choose what Windows updates to install?

To change Windows Update options, open Settings (type Settings into the Search the web and Windows bar next to the start button at the bottom left) and choose Update & Security, then choose Advanced options under Windows Update – this will only be available if an update isn’t downloading or waiting to be installed.
