Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups

I, just like most users hate Windows 10 for so many issues and bugs. It has usability issues and so many problems that Windows support team chooses ignore despite multiple complaints. Microsoft knows this very well but they keep hush about all this. Now to add to it, Windows 7 (the best OS so far) keeps giving a warning that my Intel Core i7 (7700k) processor is not supported.

I'm sorry but Windows 10 is officially the **** and buggiest product I've ever used. And I'm never going to switch to it until every problem has been fixed. Please do something about these annoying "unsupported processor" pop ups. If this is not resolved soon I'm going to write an entire blog about this and I'm sure there are many users who feel the same. Now this is not a small issue and I suggest to take this at the highest priority.

Every user should be allowed to use whatever version of Windows that suits their needs and is comfortable to use.

    Thank you DenverBraganza. Maybe you should be working for Microsoft as their support staff is ignorant. You could teach them how to properly deal with customers. Once again thanks for the link. It works great. Fast install and I couldn't be happier.

    Not trying to offend you mBardos76, but I'd prefer that MS comes up with the fix and I don't see MS anywhere on that link.  Who knows what is being loaded onto my computer from github.  And when you say you are getting updates, how sure are you that MS is actually writing any updates.  According to Gates, they are no longer servicing 7 or 8 when using these new chips.  I assume that means their engineers are not looking to fix any bugs or security issues for us.  Who knows what your getting from MS unless the all knowing Gates fills us in, which apparently they have absolutely no intentions of doing.  And how long do you think it will take him to fix your fix.  I think we should wait to do away with this thread until MS gets involved.

    See my thoughts on PCs using WSUS as commented above.

    Here's a thought. Suppose you have setup your domain PCs to get their windows update from WSUS, through group policy, so deviation from this is not an option. Unless the WUFUC patch is so big and heavy such that it changes the entire Windows Update application of the local PC to have it get updates from an undisclosed source on the internet, mimicking the exact behaviour of the local Windows Update app, including where it's getting their updates from, then I would say it's worth trying WUFUC since Microsoft is not releasing an update to this issue anytime soon.

    A patch that would do all of the above would be several MBs big and akin to installing a service pack on the local PC. So I think I will give WUFUC a trial and monitor for any unauthorised access to funny internet locations from the particular PC updated (firewall logs).
