vibranium Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 KB3035583 is the one update that many users removed in mid-2015 in order to get rid of the infamous "Get Windows 10" app that pushes the Windows 10 upgrade on Windows 7 computers, but every once in a while, Microsoft brings it back through silent updates. The last such update occurred on February 24, so Microsoft has revised the patch once against last week and re-issued it to computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. We've received comments from our readers telling that the "Get Windows 10" app has reappeared on their computers even after specifically removing the update and blocking this tool completely, so it looks like Microsoft has actually pushed KB3035583 once again to all these PCs. At the moment, the update is at version 10 and is very likely to continue receiving improvements until July 2016, when Microsoft will end the free Windows 10 upgrade promo. Removing this update and hiding it completely does help to block the "Get Windows 10" app and prevent any accidental upgrade to the new OS, but Microsoft can easily re-enable it when KB3035583 is issued and shipped via Windows Update. So at this point, it looks like turning to third-party apps such as GWX Control Panel is the best choice if you just want to stick with Windows 7 or 8.1. Windows 10 is offered as a free upgrade for users running Windows 7 or 8.1 on their PCs, and the KB3035583 update is responsible for bringing the "Get Windows 10" app on these computers. As Microsoft says, this app scans your computer for compatibility issues and help perform a smooth transition to Windows 10, but in the case of users who refuse the upgrade, it turns into a nightmare. Notifications, upgrade messages, and popups that show up every once in a while try to persuade users to upgrade to Windows 10, so it's no surprise why so many people look into ways to block the update.

steven36 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Why post news about last month on patch Tuesday ? I already hid those updates before this article was ever written and the article is from March 6 . Today is March 8th i'm worried about when will be the next time they send out get windows 10 updates. The way people know there going send them again all you have to do is look at the page on info about the update it will tell you its modified and soon after they reissue it on windows updates.

For some people it came a week before and this time as important. But maybe only some countries & IP ranges, because of different laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you put down Windows 10 in one post and promote Skype in another . And Microsoft has been using Skype to spy on people way longer than windows 10.
