1420660 2016-05-21 06:18:00 Just found something "interesting" relating to the Patch--
With the convenience rollup tool, Microsoft will install absolutely every previously released update to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, including updates that are designed to push to Windows 10 upgrade! As users have no control over which updates are installed, and they have to install everything, avoiding these updates is impossible.

SOURCE (windowsreport.com)

So if you want to stay on W7 then you need to disable the W10 upgrade - Or wait till after 29th July - be interesting to see what happens then ;)

That source is confusing KB3020369 with the "convenience rollup". 3020369 is something else?

Anyone can just publish whatever they like on the Internet.

It doesn't make that article accurate

The convenience roll up does not contain every patch released, nor does it contain the Get Windows 10 app

Here is the accurate article and somehow I know it's accurate :)

Microsoft Update catalog will not require IE ActiveX much longer

I know it's cooler to just moan about MS and conveniently leave that piece of info out
