cant install win7 updates... only windows 10.

[macgig]

I see win 7 updates available.... when I try to select them to install, it appears that only windows 10 will download and install. so I dont get it. why cant I install only the win7 updates and not 10? I dont want 10.

Start Windows Update
click Change Settings
under Important Updates choose
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
click OK

its on that setting. it shows windows 7 updates. when I go to install them it starts downloading windows 10 which I dont want. :huh:

right-click the update you don't want, choose>hide update
you can also take a look at GWX Control Panel

thanks I'll check that download out.

I click on show all updates, then I select the windows 7 updates I want, then I still have to click "get started" and it wants to install windows 10. this makes no sense to me. I guess that program did not work.

run attached to remove Win10 nag

restart computer

Hide that KB when it appears

think I hid that already. it still says its downloading win 10 setup files when I try to install the windows 7 updates.

so, it appears to want to install the windows 7 updates. then says installing windows 10. i have no idea what to do to fix this. I want the windows 7 updates, not 10. ??? makes no sense to me.

beats me. still says downloading windows 10. I select windows 7 files and it says downloading ten. perhaps its not installing 10 just saying it? I don't want to let it run and find out it is installing 10. I dont want 10. lol
