If you're running 7-zip.exe from Powershell, and you only want to see errors, then you could try something like this:

7-zip.exe u   | Select-String "Error" -Context 10

This will only display the "Error" message line and the surrounding 10 lines (or whatever number) to capture the error specific output.
