Would you please tell me how to prevent the installation of KB3035583 in my computer and if it is already installed, how to remove it? Also, are there other updates that we need to be concerned about that enable this behaviour?
KB3035583 now appears as an Important update in Windows Update and is checked which means it will be automatically installed if the user does not uncheck it. If automatic update is set, it will install without intervention.
There are credible articles that say that Microsoft either has installed or will install changes to my computer that will enable Microsoft to use it as an advertising platform and then install Windows 10 without first obtaining an informed decision to do so. I truly hope this is not true.
On behalf of my clients and their 162 Windows "consumer" computers, I must tell you that we do not grant Microsoft or any other vendor the right to do this. When other Windows players do this, we regard it as malware and take great care to remove it.
Microsoft got to where it is today by selling Windows. We have spent decades learning how to use Windows and billions of dollars buying Windows computers and Windows software. We own these systems. They are ours, not Microsoft's.
Windows Update has earned a huge trust. We trust Microsoft to use Windows Update to keep our computers safe and secure. When Patch Tuesday comes along we install all the updates that Microsoft says are "important." We assume those to be either plugging a security leak or fixing a software error.
We all hope Windows 10 will be something we will want. We will carefully review and consult trusted advisors before we install Windows 10. We have seen Windows 8 and rejected it. Windows 8 is a bad product we did not choose.
Automatically installing Windows 10 on our computers would be a severe abuse of a well-earned trust. Changing our computers to enable them to become advertising platforms is also an abuse.

Not sure what the purpose of this thread is anymore. It seems like a Win10 bashfest. I don't care what operating system you like, but In a novice forum, the suggestion to turn off Windows Updates is beyond ridiculous. OK Andrew I will bite, what are the free monthly scans you speak of?
And especially if computers are not your thing, please don't suggest the turning off of Windows updates, is a good thing..... It is very dangerous!!!!!!
It's not about not being able to upgrade a 32gb machine. It's about the fact that the machine does not have the drivers to run Windows 10.
I have read in the Daily Telegraph and elsewhere that MS is going to download W10 forcibly to every computer 'so the customer will have it ready for when he decides to upgrade'.
After that you will have to decline a prompt to upgrade every time you log in.
They said it was going to happen in 2016. Just a little warning for those who find prompts that won't go away tiresome or those who have tablets with 32gb drives.
People who revert to insults ,have already lost the argument, the security updates I refer to are the free monthly scans
My apologies if the word updates is set in stone ,as i have said before , we still used an abacus when I was at school, so computers ain't my thing
Gerry, you are simply wrong!
You are entitled to your opinion. If you start a discussion on a controversial topic you must expect others to have conflicting thoughts on your proposition. This is an open forum and you should not object, when others who do not share your views, voice their dissent.
If you would like to start a discussion thread about how great Windows 10
Why would I want to do that? I would not advocate anyone at the present time migrating to Windows 10 because the project is still in development. Where I fundamentally disagree with you are the measures you recommend to stop the upgrade, which I feel are unnecessary. I have two computers that demonstrate that a user can install the updates you "ban" and retain Windows 7 / Windows 8 in full working order.
