In case somebody coming late to the Windows 7 apocalypse party, here is a list of KB patches I have sorted out until 12-15 months ago when I still cared.

Make sure you have your Windows 7 switched to "Never update", and deinstall these patches. If you reinstall Windows 7, patch it with an old patch archive to a status not later than summer 2015, and before you run that archive, make sure you have these patches deactivated.

Some of these KB patches by now may be no longer distributed, sicne they were connected to the GWX campaign.

Rumour has it that Microsoft is abotu to start another offensive designed like the GWX campaign to hijack older Windows systems and force them under the umbrella of the mothership. Switch that ######## Windows Update off!!!
