How do you get rid of this annoying popup?

The CPU is a AM3, AMD 240E. So not new and unsupported.

The Solution:
We have found a workaround that gets rid of the problem. To confirm this update below is installed already, just go to CHECK FOR UPDATES. That is what makes the message appear. Or if you have Automatic Updates turned on it will show the next time the machine checks for updates.
- In WIndows 7, go to your Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall a Program / View Installed Updates
- Search for Microsoft KB4015549, and uninstall it. It may also be labeled something like this:" 2017-04 Monthly Rollup- KB4015549"
- Reboot. This removes the problem
- To make sure it does not come BACK, check for updates again. It will find it AGAIN under Important Updates link on your updates page. Click that link and find KB401559 in the list.
- RIGHT Click and HIDE UPDATE. It should not show up again whether you do manual or auto updates.
Notes: Some others have mentioned repeating the same process in KB4012218, could also cause the problem, but we did not see this in our list. It could be part of the cumulative updates in the Roll Up mentioned in step #2. If you have this one showing in your list. Repeat the same process above. Except in Step #4 above, it will be under OPTIONAL Updates not Important Updates
Seems a strange choice by MS to do this :/
