KB2952664 was published on April 22, 2014 and appears in my Windows Update List (I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 bit).
The description of this update is vague: "This update helps Microsoft make improvements to the current operating system in order to ease the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows."
Anyone have more information on what this update actually does? If its sole purpose is to ease the "upgrade" from Windows 7 to Windows 8 (or 8.1 or 8.1 update), then I'll just permanently hide KB2952664 (I have no desire or intention to "upgrade" my Windows 7 system to any flavor of Windows 8).
If its purpose is to ease what would be a true Windows 7 upgrade to a yet-to-be-announced Windows 7 SP2, then I'll keep it (but still would like to have more information about what KB2952664 actually does before installing).

Never seen that before; no idea who is intercepting and blocking that. I used two different browsers.
Guys,
Unfortunately MS won't allow me to upload an Excel spreadsheet so I have to provide it myself, but if you read the entries, they are pretty much self-explanatory. Avoid the RED suspect the ORANGE and have one on me.
Not the entire spreadsheet, but a small section pastes fairly well. Colors are lost. As you can see I'm conflicted about KB3138612.

Guys,
C'mon, this is all Moot. Microsoft is not going to change the way they do business; best thing to do is download and install GWX Control Panel (http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/GwxControlPanelSetup.exe), set it to run in the background and let it do its thing. Flip Microsoft the bird and be done with it.
The following is provided as the definitive guide (IMHO) to updating Windows. Unfortunately MS won't allow me to upload an Excel spreadsheet so I have to provide it myself, but if you read the entries, they are pretty much self-explanatory. Avoid the RED suspect the ORANGE and have one on me.

Available for the next 12 hours only, after that you're on your own.
Cheers.
Roger,
The reason that some people hide KB2852664 is that is is known to nag/trick users into installing Windows 10 (whether they want Windows 10 or not).
If you do not want to install Windows 10, then you can hide KB2852664. To do that, right click the entry for KB2852664 (in the list that is shown by Windows Update). When you right click, you will see a menu appear (near the mouse pointer). One entry in that menu will be "Hide". Left click the entry that says "Hide". You may get a popup asking you to confirm.

how can I find kb2952664 in the long list?
How can I hide the thing?
Why and how can I hide kb2852664 .Why do some folks hide it?
