How can I delete some duplicate updates in the windows (view update history) page. I don't see where I can click and delete any of the updates.

Re: How can I delete some dulicate updates in the windows (view update history) page?

There is no way you can delete update history (Selected) entries.

If you want to clear the windows update history, Navigate to "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore" Delete "DataStore.edb".

Before you delete "DataStore.edb" you should stop Windows update service and BITS service.

Try the following in command prompt:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits

To start services after deleting "DataStore.edb", try the following:
net start wuauserv
net start bits
or just restart the computer once.

Hope it helps
