Hello hairymole
Just run the Windows updates, mainly for security, bugs, etc.
If the Windows completed the updates, do it again by Start->Window updates.
This is to confirm that all the necessary updates are installed correctly.
As for KB3042958, read on.... as the rest is for your info.
Do a search on that KB3042958 is for Upgrade to Windows 10.
When i go Start --> Windows Update, this prompt me to upgrade to Windows 10, as i did not click "Get started"
There are several source / website that teach how to ignore or remove, which i follow.
But this update still appear when i run the windows updates.
So, just ignore it as it will have to get your permission to click on "Get started"
This issue was raised few days ago, where that a user complaint and sue Microsoft.
Microsoft lost and had to pay the user an amount to roll back to previous Windows, before upgrade.
It happened when this user (own boss of SME) encountered that only 1 computer was auto upgraded.
She complaint that because of this she had lost &or something, i can't remember now.
So long as not to click "Get started" on this upgrade to Windows 10, it is safe.
From this incident, the user have to click on "Get started" as approved to upgrade, although the file still exist in my computer.
Whenever you had a fresh install Windows &or just bought a new computer with Windows OS.
Windows Updates is TOP priority as most are for security, bugs, etc.
It is best to be done immediately after re-install the OS &or new computer.
Let it run, which it may take several hours, if it is re-install or new computer.
But for after doing System Restore, it is not that long.
I had gone thru both twice for 2 laptops that i had.
You may have to physically present, but sometimes not necessary, as it do have auto restart.
Just ignore that Upgrade to Win 10.
Microsoft did announce that this upgrade will be remove later, after end of this month for free upgrade.
So, in the meanwhile, do not click on the "Get started".
Some updates required your permission, and so it is safe to let the OS do the windows updates with priority.
There are some updates but not necessary, it will let you decide.
Just wait for a few hours to updates up-to-date, better than cannot be used for days, until fix.
_______________________________________
The below are for your info only.
This is the way how i manage and do the necessary setting, and leave it.
1. Go to Start --> Windows updates. From here, do all the necessary setting first before do anything else.
2. On the left column, click on "Change setting"
3. On the "Important updates" the setting should be with the word "Recommended"
In the past, i would select "Download and let me choose when to install them" i found it is very troublesome.
Hence, i use the Recommended setting.
Do take note on this.
When you click on "Shutdown" and there is "update" stated, this mean that the update to be alone, without any interference.
But if you click the > for other options, this update is still waiting to be update upon Shutdown only.
When i notice this "update" in the Shutdown, i will do the update to avoid any problems later.
** As for the rest of the setting, read and make your own decision**
Thank you for reading.
Eric.
