This list is based off of Windows 7 Ultimate. You may have less updates to hide if you use a different edition. All updates listed here unless otherwise specified are undesirable or include telemetry. I recommend just unticking the few Quality Rollups initially shown instead of hiding, because you will have to keep hiding them all, checking updates, hiding again, checking updates, repeat, it's a long process. The Quality Rollups include telemetry and aren't required as this 2020 update point instead opts for the Security Only variants of these updates that don't include any. These are updates that you can and should hide without needing to repeat the process a ton: 2019-07 Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4493132) Microsoft Edge Update for Windows 7 for
