That's it...I've had it !

Good old Microsoft.

They haven't given up yet.

Dozens and dozens of updates just come through as Mrs T shut the PC down............So I wound it back up and went and had a look to see if my favourite update.... (Compulsory countdown to Windows 10 upgrade)..... had been reinstalled.

Buried along with all the others was KB3035583.......again.

It's not there any more......

Cheers - Phil

Set your updates to manual and do not update the Windows 10 one.

[Techno]

I'll leave it on auto, Jim.......Now I know which is the update to knock out when I spot it.

I WAS expecting to have to uninstall KB3035583 almost every day...Or, at least once a week.....But it's been a fortnight since the last time....And it now takes me less than a minute to get to the update and get it to 'go away'.

They've tried once more (in fact, they sneaked the KB3035583 'update' in a few days ago...on it s own...without the 'Shut down and update 'hint' ...I missed it.
Spotted it in the updates, a few minutes ago

Uninstalled AGAIN........I'm not playing 'beta testing' for them again..

In an F'ing nutshell he F'ing doesn't like F'ing Windows 10 and that is the F'ing truth!
So basically he agrees with Techno.

[Techno]

He gets even madder than I did. 

(He presumably didn't know which update to keep kicking off his PC.)

I shall go and have another check NOW.....

I assume when it's no longer a free upgrade, (when does it stop being free ?)...They'll stop trying. (I hope)

Cheers - Phil

It'll step being a free upgrade when your present operating system has the plug very firmly pulled on it.

My laptop at home occasionally has the 'Schedule your Free Upgrade' window appear but I just keep closing it.  I'm hoping that ignoring it completely will get me past the 'free' date cutoff and then they'll stop forcing it on me.

[Techno]

Just keep an eye on installed updates, Leon.

I get to those through 'Control Panel'....Check on programs and features.....Tapping on 'View installed updates'......Then look for update KB 3035583.

If it's there, it'll probably be near the top of the list, date wise. (This is assuming that you've never seen the chilling words "We're going to update you to Windows 10 in 'X' hours/days....do you want to reschedule ?"......The first time when that happened for me. I could delay it by around a week.....Now, if I don't spot it early, there's a countdown of about an hour.

Simply check KB 3035583....That should give an option to 'uninstall'.....Click that, and it takes a minute or two to remove it.......Until the next time you get more updates coming through when you shut down the PC.....That's my  definite cue to go and look for the sodding thing again.  ......And uninstall it once more.

Cheers - Phil
