I installed Bing Desktop when it was first released and didn't see any benefit of having it. Since then, I have always hidden that update in Windows Update on all my own computers as well as the ones that I maintain for family members and my office at work.

I find it very annoying that the update never stays hidden when I check optional updates usually after waiting at least a month between checks on many of those computers. I choose to hide it again, but it has reappeared over and over on so many different computers.

I have noticed this on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines.

 

The only other optional updates that I hide are additional language packs and I have rarely seen those optional updates reappear after hiding them. If I do see them again, it is usually after some major repair, so it doesn't really surprise me. What is going

on with the Bing Desktop update that won't let it stay hidden?
