I suspect that MS may have quietly pulled the banner after the uproar it created. I'm not downloading any updates until tomorrow after I first make an image. I'll do all of them except KB3139929, make another image, then see what happens after I download and install the little bugger...

Well, 'tis "tomorrow" and I finished doing the downloads and images. So far, no banner (knock on wood).

Hi,
Just review your browser add-ons Show all and run without permissions section for anything interesting

It was so uninteresting, I fell asleep (ok, I'll admit I had research what some of those entries were). Good point, though!

I feel all of you on this topic. I'm actually scared as all hell to install any updates anymore. I had to delete,format and reinstall windows 10 like 5-6 times with the same end result. Needless to say I wiped and installed Win 7 from my original disc and everything is great except for the fact I have to screen each and every windows update that pops up. I downloaded the stand alone GWX tool that ICIT2LOL mentioned earlier and am in the process of giving it a go and hopefully works but seems to be doing pretty good. In my honest opinion...Nothing good can possibly come out of Windows 10 from what I had to experience 1st hand and deal with to get my system where I am in control and is running in a stable condition.
