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

I do a very careful check of all the updates/patches presented nowadays & anything that has to do with 10, might have to do with 10, hints at being related to 10 or, what's getting to be normal occurrence lately, a patch that has no explanation from MS as to what it does, all these are avoided.

Thanks MS, I now have to spend my patch Tuesdays researching every patch you issue to make sure you don't hijack my system.

Yes and I have to baby sit my four computers. Getting to be a full time job.

Only 4?

That is why I let the updates install automatically on the dozens of computers that I oversee. I'm depending on various registry settings to prevent W10 from installing.

Yep, only 4.

Haven't had any attempts to install 10 in several weeks.Those tweaks seem to work fine so far ( fingers crossed ).

I'm not commenting on the pros and cons of Windows 7, 8.1, 10.
Windows 7 is the OS I have on 4 PCs and I'm happy with it. One reason I'm happy with W7 is that I have a lot of software I paid quite a bit of money for which runs under 7 but probably not 10.

So:
It would be useful for those with the knowledge to post a list of those KBs that may attempt to perform an automatic "upgrade".

I haven't experienced any prompts to upgrade yet but the passion in this thread suggests it's a matter of time.

While my knowledge is questionable, here is my Specialized High Intensity Training List.

This list also include the spyware lurking under the telemetry moniker and anything else I found to be suspicious due to a vague description from MSpy.

Here's Callender's list it's pretty accurate

Thanks all. But isn't it annoying though. I want important security updates but don't want them disguised as anything else.
I may eventually change to Windows 10, 11... or whatever but let it be my choice. Support for applications and their development is a key OS capability.

Well I don't know. For now I'll just uncheck the recommended updates option since in my opinion, doing anything else doesn't seem necessary.
