Microsoft to users: You'll download Windows 10, and you'll like it

Except that peronally I'd run an Elevated Command Prompt then type:

Powershell

Press Enter

Copy and paste the following:

Code:

get-hotfix -id KB2876229,KB2923545,KB2970228,KB3035583,KB2990214,KB3021917,KB3068708,KB2592687,KB2660075,KB2506928,KB2952664,KB3050265,KB2726535,KB2994023,KB3022345,KB3068708,KB3065987

Then press enter. See if any of those are found. Also I reckon that it is possible that Windows Updates check for files in Software Distribution Download folder or WINSXS and installs them if found. I'm not 100% sure on that one but it is one reason why I run advanced disk cleanup (include WU cleanup) after removing updates.

KB3102810 information posted on above link states it updates windows update components yet again so Windows 10 downloading and installation is the ultimate aim of this update.

Yep this one pops up on my clean install
KB2506928

I uninstalled KB3102810 yesterday and then I ran Windows Update so that I could "Hide" it.

Windows Update listed a Security Patch (KB2758694) that was released in January 2013!
It must be related to KB3102810, because I'd install an anti-RCE patch and it hasn't been sitting in my Update list for ~3 years.

I reinstalled KB2758694 and then I ran Windows Update Cleanup. :)

I wonder why that one is on the list?

Update
I was forced to reimage my PC due to the carnage KB3102810 caused when I uninstalled it (I lost my "Hidden Updates" list and "Programs and Features" was totally screwed up too).

Not sure it is some thing I would not normally install because it's out of my usage
I would never drag a file into outlook.com or office 2007 outlook so this update I would of skipped so no telling which this update addresses it just says outlook :)

Sorry - I posted the wrong list! I have several lists and one of them includes updates that I do not need as well as Windows 10 stuff.

I got into the hiding of W10 prep. updates after a few had been installed, but when I uninstalled them (KB3102810 included), I lost all of the update history. Didn't lose any listing of the installed updates, just the history listing. I've not had any other repercussions from that activity. Different versions of KB3102810 must have had different effects on the various systems it "infected". This whole W10 update process has been so terribly crafted and executed, it will be a very long time before I go that route.

This is MS enabling act, uh-oh WW3
