| | removing update notice in my notification area is an icon for update. When I click it, I see that tyere is available an important update for Windows Mail. But I have never used Windows Mail and don't want the update. Can I get that icon out of there? I also cannot now merely click Start/Sleep because the Sleep icon now says it will instead install the update and shut down the computer (so to sleep I have now to do the extra clicks, which is a minor inconvenience). Thanks (and thanks to RR for the answer to my previous question). |

But I guess it's not anymore, since it has the right-click functionality. Thank you, Dave. Can I use Windows Update to look for any update to my NVidia display driver? Or do I have to go to NVidia's site for that? The "Check for more products" link seems to be only for Microsoft products like Office.
