Another Windows 10 update patch
by Martin Brinkmann

KB3150513 is yet another patch for Windows 7 and Windows 8.x operating 
systems that prepares those systems for the upgrade to Windows 10.

Admins who manage Windows 8.x or 7 systems, or users who run computers 
with those operating systems, face a big issue if they don't want their 
devices to upgrade to Windows 10.

Microsoft's strategy is quite aggressive and if you don't take 
precautions, Windows 10 will find its way on the device even without 
your doings.

Admins and users who take precautions on the other hand face quite a few 
challenges as they need to research any new update patch  that Microsoft 
releases to make sure that it does not enable the upgrade to Windows 10 
again.

Hiding patches won't work as Microsoft re-releases them regularly which 
makes them appear again in the list of available updates.

Probably the best option right now is to run software like Never 10 or 
GWX Control Panel to block the upgrade to Windows 10. Even those 
programs are not surefire ways as Microsoft may introduce changes that 
require them to be updated as well before they block the upgrade again.

if you're not wanting to take the plunge and keep using Windows 7 or 
8.1, and if you previously used either of the mentioned programs to 
delete and prevent future Windows 10 updates, you're okay but you should 
keep alert for any changes that indicate a push to upgrade to Windows 
10, as this time, KB3150513 is implied to be more aggressive than the 
previous KB3035583. I'd check GWX for updates, and if there is an 
updated version, download a copy so you have it for if you need it. as 
for Never10, it may be updated soon.

I just think Microsoft's behavior is deplorable for trying to force 
users to upgrade. This madness should stop July 30th this year.
