For crying out loud, if MS let's every vendor that has download products deveop and distribute their own download manager for their own products the OS is going to become another big mess! I like Logictech products but I see absolutely no reason under the sun why Windows Update should be offering up Logitech's Download Assistant!? Since I'm not aware of how to simply delete a Windows Update product if not needed I have hidden it. I hope the next time I look to see what I've hidden it will be gone.
And while I'm on the kick... I really hate getting into so many downloads today where you have to be a sort of detective to make sure you click on the right download button of what you are looking for in order to avoid downloading or getting tangled up in something you are not looking for. Likewise once you are installing a downloaded product you have to uncheck one or more varieties of unwanted special browser menus.
As far as I'm concernied it all fits under 'dirty advertising' and so far I'm pretty good at taking my time to make sure things I don't want get unchecked! Shame on the industry.

2015-05-31T22:48:49+00:00 Interesting. I wish that I had a version of Windows 8.1 that had a functioning Windows Update. Apparently I upgraded to Win 8.1 too early in the cycle and ended up with a Win 8.1 that does not have a working version of Windows Update. Has this been fixed yet? It's only been over a year that many have had this issue. Every time that I remember to update my Windows 8.1 I have to open Power Shell and run the following,
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSignedImport-Module PSWindowsUpdateGet-WUInstall
Kind of a PITA considering that I thought that I paid for an OS (Win 8.1) that had Windows Update included.
Why Microsoft hasn't provided a fix for this after nearly two years is beyond me.

2015-06-09T22:24:25+00:00 Deloppoled, if you have a non-functioning Windows Update thingy I was wondering if you missed installed the Windows 8.1 Update. IIRC anyone who didn't won't get any further updates.

This is not an MS site but gives you some info. Because of where I am presently I am picking up only non-English MS sites in Google Search, so I am not bothering to give those URLs.

2015-11-14T00:36:14+00:00 I can right click any update if I knew what it is installing.
Your famous KB3035583 which tries to install Windows 10 hintware to update my system to win 10.
I find it so intrusive that I searched to find out why it was doing that and it turns out that Microsoft called it an important update and blended it in with the others sureptitiously.
I found out it was kb3035583 that was doing the dirty work.
What is the kb number of the logitech download file so that I may right click on it and refuse to install.
