Have had automatic updates off for the last few years and i decided to turn it on to see if any of the updates would benefit my computer. The windows updates did the opposite of it and made my pc painfully slow. I lost my restore date and had to do a clean install to get rid of the issue. I have tried to update the pc from a clean install and i keep ending up with a painfully slow experience.

Does a list of avoidable windows 7 updates exist? I do not want to install them one by one and this seems like my only option... Applications are taking more then twice as long to open especially after a reboot.
 
What are the computer specs and when was the last time you did a clean Windows setup and driver check from the computer vendor? There are so many updates that finding exactly which ones you "need" and which help with bugs you may or may not have is a very tough task.

Your slowness issue is likely a slow computer or a older Windows setup.
