1385626 2014-10-04 00:40:00 I thought this was worth a new thread, but feel free to move it.

I downloaded the WIN 10 "upgrade" file without realizing that is exactly what it is - an overwrite of your current system. That file is just a hook to download the whole nealrly 3GB. I haven't continued with the process (I found the iso and installed that in a VirtualBox). However I amd now getting constant nudges from Windows update to download the main file. I've unchecked the update and checked "Hide update" but it is continuing to hassle me.

Any ideas how I can remove this for good? Or can I do the download and then interrupt it before it actually goes into the upgrade process?

Update: I've just noticed it is saying it has done the download and is ready to install, which presumably why unchecking etc doesn't work. So how do I stop it at this point?
