' You may freely use this script as long as you copy it complete and it remains the same except for adjusting hideupdates.
' If I need to change something then let me know so all may benefit.

Dim WSHShell, StartTime, ElapsedTime, strUpdateName, strAllHidden
Dim Checkagain 'Find more keep going otherwise Quit

Dim hideupdates(11)    'TO ADD 1 EDIT THE (11) AND ADD another hideupdates(#)

  If Checkagain = "True" Then
    Checkagain = "False"
    CheckUpdates
    ParseUpdates
  End if
Next

ElapsedTime = Timer - StartTime
strTitle = "Bing Desktop and Windows Updates Hidden."
strText = strAllHidden
strText = strText & vbCrLf & ""
strText = strText & vbCrLf & "Total Time " & ElapsedTime
intType = vbOkOnly

'Silent just comment these 2 lines with a ' and it will run and quit
Set objWshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
intResult = objWshShell.Popup(strText, ,strTitle, intType)

'Open Windows Update after remove the comment '
'WshShell.Run "%windir%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.WindowsUpdate"

Set objWshShell = nothing
Set WSHShell = Nothing
WScript.Quit

Function ParseUpdates 'cycle through updates
  For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
    Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
    strUpdateName = update.Title
    'WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> " & update.Title
    For j = 0 To UBound(hideupdates)
    if instr(1, strUpdateName, hideupdates(j), vbTextCompare) = 0 then
    Else
          strAllHidden = strAllHidden _
          & vbcrlf & update.Title
      update.IsHidden = True'
      Checkagain = "True"
    end if
    Next
  Next
End Function

Function CheckUpdates 'check for new updates cause Bing Desktop has 3
  Set updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
  updateSession.ClientApplicationID = "MSDN Sample Script"
  Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()
  Set searchResult = _
  updateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0")
End Function

But it takes a long time to be completed, just not good.There are other ways to do it?

When I am offline integration Windows 7 system, use it.
