If you open Windows Update via the Control Panel you are now being presented with the current screen instead of the number of items waiting to be installed:
Attachment 142864

If you then click on 'Show all available updates' and select 'Optional' you will then see the Windows 10 Update selected by default. In my view this does not make this optional.
Attachment 142865

If you hide the update then it automatically reappears in the Optional list the next time you open Windows Update!


I DON'T want to update to Windows 10 at the moment. I can see no point for me personally to upgrade to Win10, but if I did decide to do so I wouldn't do it until Easter of next year.

Why can't Microsoft let us make our own decisions as to when or whether we want to grade? Win10 offers me no benefits just lots of headaches from trying to teach my 91 year old father what the changes are and how they affect him.
Yep, I got a pop-up notice on my W7 laptop dedicated to being a DVR....PITA
they really are trying to force the update on everyone....

Very annoying.

There was a 'cumulative update' to windows 10 (KB3097617) that got installed on my other machines yesterday.
