Hide some update item in windows update list

[Osama Rajab]

Hi,
some items in the update window dose not belong to me (specially the
optional items) , I counted over 20 item that either I don't want to install
them or dose not belong to me(for example "Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.)
Language Pack") .
I suggest to add an option to hide some items, but give the option to review
them from time to time and install any of them if required.
