I don't want to upgrade to Win 10 (from Win7) just yet but when I run Windows Update, the Windows 10 upgrade starts. I can see there are many Win7 updates waiting too but cancelling the Win10 upgrade means no other updates get installed. I've uninstalled KB2990214 and have rerun Windows Update (as suggested in other threads) but starting Windows Update still starts the upgrade.
Is there any way to totally remove the Win10 upgrade so I can do the rest of the Win7 updates? When I look at updates I've hidden, I can see "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" and it's not selected. Thanks in advance!

add and remove programs then select installed updates
type this in search KB3035583
uninstall it then go the windows update settings un check recommended updates so it don't keep installing it
you will receive important updates . Recommended up dates will now then appear in optional listing updates
This is to remove the win 10 upgrade icon notification it was to blocking win 7 updates. this is what I have done
that worked. good luck.
