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.
Microsoft could fix this problem?
WHAT PROBLEM?
This is not a problem, it is their design. You're being too generous calling it a problem. They want all users pushed to WIn10. In the process they are prob'ly making money for apple, as they are pushing people who have been loyal for decades away, but they are counting on most people giving up and accepting "the inevitable".

Yep ... you are right.
From Microsoft's perspective .... disrespecting their customers does not appear to be a "problem" :(
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!!!
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.

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).
