Help to stop Windows 10 from downloading to Windows 7 machines?
Hi All,
Our current environment has a HQ site which contains all servers and a few remote sites which connect over VPN with no servers in any of the remote sites. Last Monday with release of Windows 10 I have noticed that many client machines are downloading over 3GB of data each and this resulted in massive issues with internet bandwidth and VPN connectivity etc. Unfortunately there was no WSUS server in place to control any of this... I have installed one now and my question is:
I have configured a GPO which points all local HQ machines at WSUS this will help me with stopping Windows 10 from being downloaded. How do I prevent Windows 10 from being downloaded to users in remote sites since there is no at remote sites? I don't want to send any updates over VPN etc...

How To Remove Windows 10 Upgrade Notification On Windows 7 And Windows 8
http://microsoft-news.com/how-to-remove-windows-10-upgrade-notification-on-windows-7-and-windows-8/
Go to Windows Update->Installed update, remove KB3035583. Also, you need to hide the update again in windows updates to prevent it from auto installing again since this is marked “important”.

Thanks guys,
nagendra prasad - I cant see anything attached?
So would the reg key stop Windows 10 or do I need specify an update in the parameters?
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA
ScottCha - I am afraid there is no way of me going to each PC and doing this indevidually.. I will need a group policy or another central/global method but thanks anyways, if there is a way of doing this globally please let me know.
Thanks!
