I haven't been here for a while due to a combination of ill health, PC crash and family problems, which I am glad to say are all OK now. Actually the desktop crash was the longest-lasting problem, a blown CPU and Hdd from which I have only just recovered: the other problems delaying that with a new board and CPU until yesterday. Fortunately I made regular Macrium backup images and was able to recover everything. (Must replace my Spec's) The value of Backups!
Anyhoo, to the point: I have not read all the posts to this Thread, but have been having humungous problems with Win 10 updates. KB3035583 is persistent in its attempts to remain on my machine, so thanks to all here who have given me ideas to permanently removing it, along with the ongoing list of Win10 'Rogues'. I am with the Bear in his earlier post here, in that I do not want Windows 10 until next year, when I intend to go laptop. My spinal nerve damage, rheumatoid and osteo arthritis problems have reached the point at which I can no longer build a desktop without severe difficulty; this last build was solid hassle. IMHO, Microsoft have made more enemies than friends with Windows 10. Not with the O/S itself, but with the underhand way M$ has tried to force the process of getting it onto our computers. I have used every iteration of Windows, all the way back to 3.1, but this has led me to distrust and disbelieve everything from Redmond.
When I want to install anything on my PC, it is entirely my decision how to do that. I do not want any organisation making that choice for me.
