And here it comes AGAIN! This time, you have NO choice but to "accept
it", if you allow this CRAPWARE to exist on your computer.

Several means exist to get rid of the Win-10-nic "up"grade nag,
starting with the uninstall of KB3035583, and possible 'never10' or
'gwx control panel, or maybe just this registry edit:

(as reported in comments)

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUp date]
"DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\GWX]
"DisableGWX"=dword:00000001

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
"ReservationsAllowed"=dword:00000000


I don't know if the above will work, but it can't hurt.


as for me, I'm not running 'windows update' on any 7 box until after
8/1 and will simply NOT web surf on those machines [nor read
non-plain-text e-mails].


and for that *IDIOT* that posts to USENET in HTML, I won't read HTML
in USENET, either.


No issues here with;
