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).
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
KB3035583 nagware appeared today in Windows Update. The KB article does not hide anything: "This update installs the Get Windows 10 app that helps users understand their Windows 10 upgrade options and device readiness. " It is not clear what changed in the code to cause MS to re-release this update.
I am curious as to whether the User Account Control window requests confirmation before any part of the install starts, or if Microsoft just allows itself "to make changes to this computer" without consulting the owner of the hardware.
I have not experienced a Windows 10 auto-install. I have heard (but cannot confirm) that there is no prompt before the install begins.
I too have not experienced a Windows 10 auto-install .... I have hidden all of the associated KB updates that coerce a Windows 10 install, and run the free GWX Control Panel app (that sets the appropriate Registry settings to keep Windows 10 off of my PC).
I have read about cases where the prompt to accept/decline the Windows 10 End User License Agreement (EULA) occurs before the installation begins ... and I've also read where the EULA prompt only happens after multiple giga-bytes of installation files have first been downloaded (at a cost to those users with metered connections) and the installation completed.
I have also read that some people have problems when trying to revert back from Windows 10 to their previous operating system .... resulting in a complete re-install (of previous operating system) being required (very time consuming).
I have not experienced a Windows 10 auto-install. I have heard (but cannot confirm) that there is no prompt before the install begins. It is after the install has finished that the end user gets a chance to see the End User License Agreement, and if the user clicks "Decline',
then MS attempts to revert back to the previous operating system.
Not sure whether you got the idea about this thread. It is AGAINST Microsoft nagware, malware & spyware. Please, read carefully what people want and what they don't want. Don't give them DECEPTIVE information!!!
