    I posted yesterday that the Safe Mode shutdown fixed the issue. This morning when I turned on the computer the download 1 didn't show but after the desktop finished displaying it did show. I did Safe Mode shut down just now and the updated is still pending. 

    When I investigated what the update was and ran it manually, the messaged displayed that it was not appropriate for my computer.

    I think this is just a way to irritate windows 7 user in the hope they will go to Windows 10. It is irritating but not dangerous. I'll check back to see if there is a fix that works all the time.

    Hello Coyoles,

    As per Dena's previous response to Opie34a,  we would recommend creating a new thread for this if the previous steps did not resolve this then we would recommend creating a new thread in the following forum:

    Hi Opie34a,

    Since the troubleshooting steps in this thread did not resolve your issue and the thread is older, please create a new thread here. This will mitigate any confusion and make your issue more visible. Also include the version of Windows you have installed, any error messages you received and any troubleshooting steps you've tried.
