I didn't want to have to do this but i don't see any other option at this point , i officially challenge MS to a brawl to the death using prehistoric weaponry . One of us has to die , i realize that now .

Will wait for response

A trebuchet with a nuclear warhead in the sling?

Please no. I live within the fall out radius of Redmond.

I just know this thread is going to disintegrate into total lunacy, so I pledge to supply the popcorn, peanuts and marshmallows on sticks. @jonnyhillow Let us know if they respond. I have potassium iodide tablets becasue I live near a nuclear reactor, so I will share them around too (just in case you take up LadyFitz's suggestion). She must be French.

...Unfortunately KB3035583 which has a hefty 'drive-by' payload has gone from blocked spam (a hidden optional update) to the inbox (important update)....

It is still optional for me if I keep the setting shown in this post unchecked:
KB3035583 Reappeared After Being Hidden

Very good call on your part , i second the nuclear option , best to blow the crap out of everything so there's no chance of survival .

Total lunacy ? I don't think so , not on our part , total lunacy is what MS is doing with this update from hell , now thats total lunacy . Did you read post # 54 above , the dang thing came back after being hidden , this is worthy of a nuclear confrontation imo .

You cannot hide an update - you can only hide each version of an update.

The version of the update that you hid did not unhide itself. A new version was offered.

I realize that the end result is the same... but it might be worth knowing what really happened.

I wish it was Debian based. I tried Mint, Debian 7 etc. in VMs but I can't find the Glass I had on Vista and Windows 7. Maybe I will try Zorin on a VM. When I can get a desktop machine set up again I'm going to put W7 Pro on and wait until the retro styling shock wears off. :)

"Glass" as in the Aero Glass theme? If so, do some searching. For example, with Mint there are numerous aero/glass themes available.

Never the less I'm done playing whack-a-mole with Microsoft.

Hey GEWB,

Which are you using? Mate or Cinnamon?
