Here is one method to "manage" it.

I think I would remove all traces of it instead of managing it.

Volume Licensing program. And applies to:

Well in that case rejoice and enjoy his every post. You could also ask

You must have blocked all {useless} updates from Microsoft website. I
didn't get either but I don't get anything from anywhere because I have
blocked everything from reaching my system except the emails and web
pages I visit. All my anti-virus definitions are updated once a week
manually because I don't believe there is any real threat of viruses as
Microsoft Valuable Pigs make out to be. You only get infected if you
allow Microsoft updates. You can't trust anybody on this planet! Not
