    Please help me get rid of the Windows 10 upgrade


    Hi,

    I have the Upgrade to Windows 10 update that has appeared in my windows update panel, also if i accidentally click on Shutdown it will install windows 10. i have managed to get rid of the KB3035583 update so the icon has now disappeared from the task bar, But how do i get rid of this update in my windows update panel and stop it appearing again.

    I do not want Windows 10 and wish to stay with my Windows 7 pro, so would really appreciate help as i really do not wish to make a mistake and click on the shutdown and install it by mistake. Please help :)

    Well if the update is waiting to install as you've stated I would do the above first,
    So at least the shield icon will be removed.

    Then look at these again,

    Thank you, that reg file has got rid of the install update on shut down shield for me, I now just have this to remove now which i see when i click on "Control Panel > System And Protection > Windows Update.



    I have had several looks through the posts in the link you provided but am still baffled as to how i remove it.
    I did the get-hotfix thing you suggested and it showed i have the following

    KB2952664
    KB2990214
    KB3021917 I have no idea what to do with these ?

    KB3035583 is not installed

    Can you advise further please :)

    What I do is pretty simple.

    Go to Change Settings, (upper left (See your picture)

    You need to use

    Code:
    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.
    Restart your computer.

    As per your picture/ Go to the lower left corner of that picture and tick on Installed Updates.
    Then in the Search Control panel (upper right) type in the KB you want to remove.
    Right Tick on the KB when shown and select to remove.

    Restart computer.
    Search for Windows 7 Updates again.
    The update you remove will be offered again. Right tick on it and select Hide.

    Do it with one KB you want to remove for a test.

    Get back to us on the results.

    PS. We were all computer numpty at one time.
    Members on this forum will guide you and with time you will learn a lot.
    The big thing is to follow instruction and if they are confusing, just ask for more help.
