In Windows 7:
Control Panel > System and Security > Review Computer Status >Action Center. Lower left hand corner find "windows update"; when that page opens look for View Update History. The resulting list will include everything MS has downloaded with its KB number.
I look at the last two digits first for the affected items to be removed. There is almost never two or more KB numbers that are even closely similar. Remove the numbers shared here.

Honestly, from a sys admin perspective (or one who oversees sys admins), the worst part of Windows 8.1/8 and Windows 10 has been the metro apps. It can be a pain in the behind to remove them. And I have noticed once remove they sometimes come back whether removed via powershell command or right-click uninstall.
If we wanted to upgrade all computers to Enterprise, we could probably handle this via group policy.

Plus I would like to know who the heck in Microshaft decided it is a good idea to hide things and remove the start menu??
That was Windows 8's biggest problem..

Any quick and easy way to go about that? Sounds interesting.

Thanks---will look forward to using that method too. 
I like to poke around inside some of the Windows features occasionally---not really sure what I'm seeing but still interesting.
Will also try entering the KB number in search---a shortcut is always helpful.
