You have to turn off automatic updates, uninstall the update, refresh updates, tell it to hide the specific update so that it won't install. I believe at that point you can turn automatic updates back on.
That's the process I did to get rid of the nagging on three Win7 machines.
- acqq 11y agoMSFT wiped the "hide" mark already once: http://au.pcmag.com/windows-10/39165/news/oops-update-glitch-results-in-accidental-windows-1#comment-2312386490 http://au.pcmag.com/windows-10/39165/news/oops-update-glitch... "Mistake my rear end!!! Microsoft got caught re-re-releasing KB3035583 and other related updates and now they're trying to walk back their outrageous and unethical behavior."
- shostack 11y agoThe fact that you have to do this will hopefully spark a class-action lawsuit against this incredulous behavior.
- gizmo686 11y agoOn what charge? There is no law against making a bad product in general, and I do not see an anti-trust angle to apply here.
- shostack 11y agoNot a lawyer so don't know, but it seems there is some rather underhanded approach to what they are doing here, and class actions seem to pop up for much less.
- veidr 11y agoSorry, nope. MS is fully up to date[1] on corporate best practices for circumventing class action suits and generally opting out of having to participate in the same legal system that governs individuals[2]. Hope you humans enjoyed your brief stint as the dominant organism on Earth! Thanks for playing!
