| 1409956 | 2015-10-16 03:27:00 | I have been a fervent Windows updates follower i.e. updated daily if updates are available.. I always do manual updates -not automatic. In the last few days I have unticked the preticked box "Upgrade to Windows 10". The Optional Updates now show e.g. 2 but do not list them separately. If I decide to risk it and proceed "download" I find "Windows 10 downloading so have to cancel the download. This week there are 7 Important Updates -112.2 Mb. I selected all 7 and it shows on screen prior to download "7 important Windows 7 updates selected 112.2MB." I select Download and instead of them I get "Windows 10 Upgrade is downloading" so again I have to cancel the download. Has anyone come up with a way to defeat Microsoft's latest sneaky move? |

Maybe because some (most) are actually good security patches or bugfixes? Compared to the large quantity of useful updates, the Windows 10 ones are only a small handful. It's not hard to get the list of offending KB numbers and just not install them... |

Since I turned off auto updates on W10 on both my computers I have not had a single problem. I chose a time when all was well then turned it off. With W7 I always had a look at updates on offer and selected the ones required. W10 does not have this option I turn it off altogether. |
