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.

    This is criminal behavior. There so many updates that contain this poison, it's difficult to identify THE one that infected your machine. I use wufuc ever time this happens, but just happened to me again (mid july 2019) and last wufuc update was 2018. I don't recommend it, but I'mma do it all over again. Just too tired of giving MS my time and money.  My rig works fine under win 7 & the fact that Win 8 was so **** just proves my purchasing model of Windows OS. witch is not till it's at LEAST SP1.  

    I can only imagine that after every update in 10, I'll have to re-disable the 42 spyware bots. I just dont need to treat my PC as my enemy. You jackasses are doing that for me.

    About two months ago it was necessary for me to replace my  processor which I did with an Intel 7Gen.  I made certain that whatever processor I was going to buy was compatible with Windows 7 which I refused to upgrade from.  I spent several times to servicemen  at both Best Buy and Fry's electronics to ensure I would have no problem.   Every person I talk to him guaranteed there were no compatibility issues . Once the installation was complete my computer ran like new... no issues no problems ... I was in heaven. 

     I am not a tech,  what I  do you know I have learned on my own... I do not spend half my life  in search of  every technology update.  I don't Twitter my life away and suffice it to say  microsoft's previous announcement went unnoticed by me.

     My  comment/question/ complaint is this:  when my new processor was installed everything worked fine  until Microsoft blocked any and all updates.    I'm furious .  Just how arrogant does Microsoft have to become before something is done ?  Yes I know the size and the financial value of the company but this is pretty much overkill and ****

    It is still blocking any updates, critical or not.  And no one from M$ has explained what I am still missing, which has me extremely upset.  I can delete the last couple of updates starting with the one that first denied service, but, as I have noted, what the hell is in what I am deleting and how important is it.  As a user or M$ since Windows 3.0, I think I deserve to know these things.

    And I have yet to hear any "flurry of activity" coming from anyone, M$, Intel, MSI, Asus, Corsair, EVGA, all of which made money on me and all of which refuse to warn the consumer that W7 and W8 are no longer being supported by M$.

    I've tried several of the so called fixes and nothing is working.  Deleting the mentioned files will stop the annoying pop up, but you still can no longer download any updates.  This is disturbing, especially knowing how many holes M$ has always had in their software, with maybe the exception of 7 and xp.

    Not getting on you ElderN, I'm just pissed at Gates, again.

    And besides, aren't we on the stinkin M$ website?  You'd think someone at MS would at least acknowledge the problem and let us know what's going on.  Are they trying to fix it, is it on purpose, what are we missing???  If I dumped on my home buyers like Gates dumps on his customers, I'd been out of business 30 years ago.
