Don in Upstate NY Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 An aside - I converted to Win 10 about a week ago. Thought I'd do it now rather than when the 2015 tax software is distributed next month. Everything went smoothly except that my tax program (TaxWise) didn't work. A known problem to customer support; had to remove and then rerun the install program - maybe ten minutes overall. The process for 2014 also fixed my TaxWise for all back years. My real gripe is that Freecell isn't a part of Win 10, although a different version is available as a free app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Watch out for the update appearing in your list of regular updates. I have my setting to inform me of updates but wait for me to select and install the updates. Recently I saw the W10 update and it was pre-checked. I had to uncheck it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I posted instructions before of the steps needed to stop this zombie from showing up in Windows Update. It didn't pop up with the latest round of updates last week, but I remain vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I believe if you cancel your reserved copy (if you had reserved a copy) of windows 10, then uninstall KB3035583, and then hide KB3035583. you should not have a problem. Microsoft re-released KB3035583 not that long ago so I had to hide it twice.You uninstall updates at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\View update history.You hide an update by right clicking and choosing hide. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jklcpa Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 jmdaviscpa, thanks for referencing the KB # again and making it easy to find and uninstall again. From my list, that update came in again on 10/6, so about 2 weeks ago on my list. I also have my update settings to allow me to review the updates before installing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Another "Thank You" to jmdaviscpa. I just shared that info with my tech support and he was happy to get it. He had actually called me because of the issue, just as I was reading that board. I was able to tell him which file to remove and he can use that for all the other clients who do not want Win 10. This board is awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
