I guess that an interpreter is needed to comprehend the response provided to my last post. So does one uninstall these updates as suggested?
That depends on the outcome one wants
Here is my list of associated win-10 stuff I did not want to install,

But as mentioned the update settings do need to be a certain way to sort the win-10 stuff accordingly

like was said, you go into program & features and click on View Installed Updates
you may or may not have all the ones in the list i posted,
my list is what i have compiled based on what others have posted around the web as Windows 7 Updates to Avoid. I made this list only a few days ago.
except for the first one (KB971033) where i say ok to leave, find each, right-click and say Uninstall.
if it prompts you to restart, say no. do the rest you are interested in uninstalling, then after the last one do a restart.
On your next Windows Update, you will see these again as available updates.
you need to right click on them and say Hide Update
Otherwise you'll just reinstall it again and be back where you started.
Thanks for the list of updates to avoid. If the updates listed are uninstalled will this prevent the Microsoft Win 10 pop-up from appearing each time IE11 is opened?
The updates as shown in the post from ron7000 that were installed on the computer have been uninstalled. It does not prevent the Win 10 upgrade pop-up from appearing. Did a search of C: drive for KB2952664 which is apparently the "nagware" patch that initiates the upgrade pop-up. The search revealed a large number of files related to KB2952664 located in MUM files. These are located in C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages. Would deleting these files eliminate the pop-up? And, can they safely be deleted? It's obvious that uninstalling KB2952664, nor the other KB updates does not eliminate the Win 10 pop-up.
Success at last. The Win 10 upgrade pop-up no longer shows up when logging into IE11, at least for the previous 3 times that I have logged off the internet and then back on. Initially after uninstalling the previously listed KB updates, and hiding those that appeared after doing an update search, the Win 10 upgrade notice appeared.
Thanks to those for the help.
I spoke too soon. After uninstalling the updates shown in the ron7000 post and then running update to hide the updates that reappeared, the Get Windows 10 pop-up has reappeared after opening IE11. A search of Win 7 C: drive for GWX shows a number of files, some listed as MUM while others shown as Security Catalog files. I suppose my computer is infected with all the Get Win 10 update files. Can any of the files be safely deleted?
That`s odd, never heard of it showing up in IE11, it`s just a browser after all. Use Chrome instead.
