Then after restart if it prompts that, after that go to Windows update allow it to scan for Updates then you'll see the KB3035583 update being listed, right click it and tell it to Hide Update and it should never install again automaticly.

Done, I also switched my updates to tell me first so I can decide what to install.

I also deleted this hidden folder installed on July 10th $Windows.~BT size 6.37 GB (6,850,966,453 bytes) size on disk 4.85 GB (5,210,189,824 bytes) contains 17,010 Files, 3,602 Folders, Attributes Read only. Search the net and the info said this was pre Win10 installation files on stand by ready if I was going to upgrade.

I am not going to upgrade to Win10 and once this PC comes to the end of its life I will not be going with Microsoft anymore. Try something new for a change.

Came across a comment saying how to get rid of KB3035583 as said here plus this..

You might want to search for these updates as well
KB3068708, KB3022345, KB3075249,and KB3080149,
and uninstall these as well, as these are the ones
that Microsoft secretly included for Win 7, 8 and 8.1
so it can upload stuff to Microsoft just like Win 10 does.

I have all four on my system and a quick search seems to point to Microsoft gathering info spying, true or false?
