    I have noticed that in the last few updates, Microsoft Update recommends "Important" updates for products I do not have. For example see the attached from updates I did today. Why does Update list Access, Visio, etc. when Windows 7 Home Premium does not come with these products and they are not installed on my laptop? Why does Microsoft Update want to update products I do not have.JPG Am I missing something?

    You have Office 2010 installed. The others you mention are all part of Office, whether you are using them or not.
