Frankly,. you don't need any updates - even those security updates which
Microsoft says are critical if you are careful with your computer and
don't visit the crack sites or get tempted to try cracks for certain
programs. I update my machine once every six months when I am doing
some house keeping on the machine. at that time I updates windows and
all Applications that I am using.

This said. you only get updates for what you already have on your
machine so if you are not using any of them why are they on your machine?

Finally, you don't need to install these updates until you need them.
Just disable them - I am assuming you are using custom install of
updates and NOT automatic install of updates.
