Windows 7 update to 10 Windows Server Update Services manual uninstall

Have a computer that is running Windows 7 Pro.  Trying to get it updated to windows 10.

Setup stops and says Windows Server Update Services - manually uninstall

I cannot find any sign that it is on this computer.  Didn't think you could have WSUS on Windows 7 pro.

Anyone come across this and find solution?   This is one of those PC's that would take days to setup again as it's a Autocad Designer with a ton of custom setup.

Is WSUS present in services.msc?

We had a couple of machines that did this where the updater had somehow mistaken SEP for WSUS so check your AV etc is off/removed.

Thanks.  Removed AV again but it's still there.   I haven't ever seen this error and there isn't much info online about it.
One can install WSUS management tools on a workstation. Could that apply, maybe?

Well found!
Yes, there's a blacklist in the installer scanner.  I guess M$ could really do with publishing the list it uses!
