It's very simple.... click on the Windows Start Orb and in the search
box type "Windows Update" which should list Windows Update at the top of
the results list. Once WU is open look at the right side and you'll see
a line that says Restore hidden updates, click on it and you'll then see
a window that shows all the updates you've hidden. Here's a screen shot:

I could have and already did.
I got this information below. No list of the hidden MS updates appeared.
I don't know where to find them or where to look for them. The help file
where I clicked "Hidden Updates" didn't mention how to find deleted or
hidden MS updates if the list failed to appear.
(Copy and Paste)
Right-click the file or folder, and then click Restore previous versions.
You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The
list will include files saved on a backup (if you're using Windows Backup to
back up your files) as well as restore points.

And you consider this helpful information?
Try
There is no "Windows Updates" anywhere on the control panal page. This is
Home Premium. Perhaps you have another version of W-7.
and then see if you can figure it out for yourself
Led by hand? Maybe if the software writers did a better job on these OSs
people like me wouldn't have the problems I'm having with W-7.
Your Control Panel page has "Windows Updates" and mine does not.

Am I supposed to know where they are and how to "unhide" them? Googling did

OK. It lists only new updates, not the hidden ones or deleted ones. Just
"check for updates" and "Installed updates."
Once WU is open look at the right side and you'll see
OK, that got them back. Thank you. I went through Control Panel as typing
Windows Update into the search window over the Orb didn't work.

I'll reinstall one at a time until I find the one that caused the link
problems and get rid of just that one.

Why would you be looking for information about deleted updates when
your question was about hidden updates?
Why would you bother to search Windows' help system for irrelevent
answers?
The answer to your question is right there in the help. A child could
find it within seconds.

I expect many of the people here might not have heard of Eric Berne. He
wrote a book about psychiatry entitled 'Games People Play' which became a
best seller in the USA.
Not to do with Windows 7 perhaps, but read on anyway because it is not
irrelevant.
People need 'strokes'. Normally you nod to a slight acquaintance you see
twice a day on the way to the tea urn. However if you don't see him for a
while because he has been on holiday, next time you meet you stop and ask
him how he enjoyed it and have a short chat. Then it's back to the nodding.
It is a little game that we all play, the nod is a big enough stroke
normally but after a longish gap the stroke must be bigger.
There is a lot more about that sort of thing of course, but for many people
the games get a bit more serious. Take this exchange:
'I have a pain in my arm'.
'Have you tried aspirin?'
'Yes, but the pain soon comes back'
'Why don't you ask the pharmacist about it?'.
'Yes but he only suggested stronger painkillers and I'm allergic to them'.
'Why don't you go to the doctor?'
'Yes but when I did he said I should stop keyboard work and that is my job'.
'Why don't you ask to see a physiotherapist?'
'Yes but the appointments take ages and my friend had the same problem and
they were useless'
This person is playing a first level game. (Games go up to quite high
levels and end up with very nasty behaviour indeed). This game is called
WDYYB - which stands for 'Why don't you....' 'Yes but....'.
The person is not seeking for solutions, he is seeking to defeat and
confound the other person to get a stroke to his own ego. It is a mild
behaviour perversion.
I am sure the book is out of date by now, but anyone who has read it will
quickly recognise many of the games and will understand why some people play
them and what one's reaction should be when faced with such a player.
Obviously such people will be come across on Usenet, chat rooms and even,
dare it be said, on this newsgroup.
So if you want to play with them, do so. It is though best to understand so
you don't get confused.

Ah, the nostalgia! I read that book so long ago...
Thanks for reminding me/us of the relevance in a certain current context

Well they say that a picture is worth a thousand words.... Let me show
you in pictures how you could have found the answer to locating the
hidden updates yourself. First you would open the Start menu, then
click on "Help and Support", here's a picture:
http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1443/20101025-o3mx-129kb
Then in the search dialog, type in what you're looking for:
http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1443/20101025-kmby-67kb
and here's the results:
http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1443/20101025-assj-52kb
Gee... what does the first line say? So if we click on it we see:
http://my.jetscreenshot.com/1443/20101025-rh58-79kb
Now how technical was that?
