Windows 7 annoying "Unsupported Hardware" pop ups

Anonymous

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.

    Microsoft epic fail again.

    It is okay to show the message once. But not all the time.

    This sucks!

    The others two MS updates mentioned before I hadn't installed but I had the "hardware not supported" problem.

    I found installed just your mentioned (KB4048957), uninstalled and everything is back to work!!!

    Just two things more:

    1. Do you know why, after KB 4048957 removal, WU back to works, it propose updates up to two years old?
    2. For the future, I can discover in advance which KB doesn't must be installed to prevent the same issue? I must pay particular attention to something or there is a particular trick?

    Tks in advance
