Re^2: OT: Sigh ... Windows 10

Hi Athanasius,

I have Win 8 and sometimes it reminds me to upgrade to 8.1, sometimes to 10! If I uninstall the KB3035583 update will that stop the harassment?

There's no way I want to go to either 8.1 or 10. I'd check my PC but that's my home PC and I'm not at home right now.

Hello bulrush,

I know nothing of Windows 8. I was still on Vista when my HD died, so I took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest Windows, which happened to be 8.1 (64-bit) at the time. I can report that since uninstalling KB3035583 and marking it as “hidden” I’ve had no more reminders to upgrade to 10. Also, Windows Update (which was down for ~8 months for no reason I could find out) has been working fine since around the time KB3035583 came out. Go figure.

There's no way I want to go to either 8.1 or 10.

I fully understand about 10, but — since you’re on 8 already — why the aversion to 8.1?

Cheers,
