Is MS trying to force Win10 upgrade?

[weyland yutani]

I'm on Windows 7 and installed some updates this morning making sure to uncheck "Upgrade to Windows 10".



After updating, when I view windows update, "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" is always checked. Even if I uncheck it, close windows update and go back it is checked again.

The problem is I have the "Installs updates" exclamation icon by the shutdown button so Im worried it will try to update the next time I shutdown/restart

There is one optional update available KB3048761, going back to April but it always unchecked.

Is it safe to restart my computer??? I will update to Win10 in time but not right now. Ive had the notification for a while but never an issue until now.

That seemed to remove the "get windows 10" tool that appeared in the taskbar but that has already downloaded the update/install files anyway. I took a chance, restarted and thankfully it rebooted normally into Win7.

Important updates are auto ticked when you open up Windows update.
