Hi,
Thanks to Sean, Phil, Steve and others for this good information. As far as
I can tell, I have followed it. Nevertheless, Windows7 keeps bugging me to
"Try Windows 10."
On the Windows Update screen where I selected Download updates but let me
choose whether to install them I have only one item checked. It is:
Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft
software when I update
Must I uncheck that one?
Bill

All one has to do, is as Phil said. Just stop automatic updates.
If your system is paging you to do the Windows 10 upgrade, here is how to
stop the pop-up.
1. Press Windows key plus r. This will open the DOS command line interface.
2. Type Cmd. This will load the DOS shell.
3. At the prompt type wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583 4. Windows will page you
to confirm the removal of the Windows 10 pain in the a$$ Kb 3035583.
5. Press Y, it takes a little bit, but you will be informed that the update
3035583 has been removed from your system.
6. Type, exit, and reboot your system.
Afterward, remember to hide the update 3035583 from the Windows update list.
Voila, no more popup. Sometimes you still need to hide the icon in the
system tray even though it has been removed.

Service Pack 1, go to control panel, system, Windows update and locate
the "Change settings" link. Then change the combo box to "Check for
updates but let me choose whether to download and install them."

To prevent Microsoft downloading and installing Windows 10 on your
computer, you need to turn off the Recommended Updates setting in
Windows Update and hide Windows 10 from the list of available
recommended updates.
In Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security >
Windows Update. Click the Change settings link on the left.
Look for the Recommended updates entry and make sure it's unchecked.
Click OK.
In Windows 8.1 you can either follow the same steps listed above, or
you can go through the PC Settings app. Go to Settings > Update and
recovery > Windows update and select Choose how updates get installed.
Uncheck the Recommended Updates box and click Apply.
Windows 10 will still appear as an available update, but it won't be
automatically installed now.
Finally, right-click on the Windows 10 update, and select Hide Update
to make sure you don't install it by mistake.

Hi Floyd,

they don't resort to what I'd call militant tactics; and yes, I

militant. Now I don't want anybody to get the idea that I'm against

don't think enough time has been given to third-party developers to do
a halfway decent job rebuilding and/or revamping products so they'll
work properly on Windows 8 - let alone Windows 10. There aren't the
resources to continually have to spend countless dollars and hours
keeping up with it all. If the changes were more subtle instead of
rolling out massive new things at once, maybe there'd be a better
chance that support products can be developed or retooled to accommodate

they'll be billing you for products and services that they claim you
need regardless of whether you approved them or not. Even the Mac OSs
aren't automatically upgraded until you've accept the terms and hit
the button - so to speak. Yeah - I know; I suppose they could change
that too. Be that as it may, it's a really bad idea - at least in the
climate that we're in right now. Believe me; I had a lot of respect
for Microsoft in the early days, but not so much any more. The same
will be said for Apple as well if they keep going in the direction
they're going. Right now I see very little in quality control with
either company when it comes to getting OSs out there as quickly as
possible. That seems to be the corporate way now; get it out there,
then mop up the hellacious messes later. That's hardly a wise use of
resources.

Hi all,
This is good information, thank you.
Anyone else hear the rumor that MicroSoft is considering moving the
Windows 10 upgrade to automatic upgrades.
This is horrifying to me.
I hope to hell it's not true.
I for one keep my studio machine off line except for very rare
occasions Obviously I have another machine with Windows 7 for nearly
everything on-line.
