I believe the best current way to do this is using an advanced batch script known as Aegis Voat (Github link)(Direct Download Link for V 1.13) which does this for Windows 7 and Windows 8, and does it very well. That page also provides a list of updates you should stay away from, the script also removes a few annoyances such as the new forced Windows 10 upgrade download as well as a few windows services that you probably don't want.
You can alternatively do this by hand in the windows update program, uninstalling and hiding each update you don't want one by one.
This is the current list of updates (february 21, 2016):
Installation guide is well.. download the zip file, extract it into a folder of your choosing, and then run aegis.cmd as administrator.

create a file
win8SpyUdateUninstall.bat
open a
cmd
and call the script.You will get a popup fo reach update, either saying that it is not installed anyway or asking you to uninstall. after each uninstall you can press 'restart later' to finish the whole script before restartint windows.
TODO:
- prevent windows from suggesting those updates on the next update-check
- install a daemon, that checks for new spyware updates to arrive in the future
