HOW TO REMOVE AND DISABLED WINDOWS KB UPDATES
Microsoft’s quietly rolling out updates that bake new tracking tools into Windows 7 and Windows 8
If you don’t want these new tracking tools on your PC, the best thing to do seems to be simply uninstalling the offending updates, then blocking them from being reinstalled.
To do so, head to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall or change a program. Here, click View installed updates in the left-hand navigation pane. In the search box in the upper-right corner, search for the KB3068708, KB3022345, KB3075249, and KB3080149 updates by name. If they’re installed, they’ll pop right up. If you find one, right-click on it and select Uninstall to wipe it from your system.
To block the updates from being downloaded again, dive back into the Control Panel and head to System and Security > Windows Update > Check for updates. The system will look for updates, then say you have a certain number of updates available, separated by status (Optional, Recommended, Critical). Simply click the recommended updates link, find the KB3068708 and KB3022345 updates, then right-click them and select Hide update.
Now dive into the optional updates and hide KB3075249 and KB3080149.
Also Find and uninstall or hide Windows Activation Technologies Anti-Piracy Update KB971033
