I occasionally have to reload windows from scratch to speed them up and in doing so, I notice many of the updates are useless languages I dont speak, updates to IE or Media Player which I dont use, etc.

Is there any compilation of truly necessary updates?

On a side note, can these programs download individual patches instead of SP1 , etc. It is the same problem, gigantic service packs full of crap.

Decrapafier, where are you. I have to move to Win 7 and collect the needed patches before they disappear and these programs seem to be the answer. These tools all download individual post SP1 patches direct from Microsoft, so if you really wanted to, you could sort through them all manually and install what you want. I had to do the annoyingly very long windows update still after the installation of all the supported updates.

Hi, I came across this post recently and tried the wsus offline updater, for patching a freshly clean installed win7 home premium machine.

I tried downloading an earlier version of WSUS-Offline but the Windows updates are not available even for the earlier versions of this product. WSUS Offline Update will copy all the files to a folder on your USB drive if you select the option at the bottom of the window, then you can update from there.
