I hit Install Microsoft Update accidentally on the Windows Update page, now I
can't go back to Windows Update page, I guess an active X control has been
installed. Is it possible to remove this particular active x control, so that
I can use Windows Update again? Tks.

Your choice is to either use Windows Update to access only the updates for Windows or use
Microsoft Update to access updates for both Windows and other Microsoft products.
Microsoft Update with expand over time to deliver more updates for Microsoft Products.

If you decide to opt-out of Microsoft Update, go to the Microsoft Update homepage and
choose "Change Settings", scroll down the page until you see the option to "Stop using
Microsoft Update" and select the "Disable Microsoft Update software.." Checkbox and click
"Apply changes now"
