dencorso Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 That can be helped: create a batch file that checks that, say, once per hour, and puts a bright red icon in the notification area (tray), in case it actually finds that. In what regards actually providing the icon in tray, this should do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Good idea. So everyone takes 5 minutes to download and install that. At least it slows the ongoing worldwide productivity reduction. Until the icon shows up, then it's a couple of hours downtime... -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeA Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 KB3035583 popped up again on my Win7 machine today, as an "Important" update. This is after declining and hiding the update. One true statement in the KB article: Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. BTW, what exactly is the "problem" that KB3035583 proposes to fix on a well-working Windows 7 system? --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 BTW, what exactly is the "problem" that KB3035583 proposes to fix on a well-working Windows 7 system? --JorgeA The "problem" is that you haven't yet rushed to install Windows 10 I would imagine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

submix8c Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hmmm... I wonder if this is why my Bro is running out of space on his computer? Guess I'd better get the list to him and have him check his HDD and ask "Do you *really* want this stuff? Better be prepared to do that Dell Restore again..."

JorgeA Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 KB3035583 popped up again on my Win7 machine today, as an "Important" update. This is after declining and hiding the update. And after a reboot, KB3035583 popped up YET AGAIN. What total disregard for customers' choices. How many times do we have to say NO? --JorgeA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 And after a reboot, KB3035583 popped up YET AGAIN. What total disregard for customers' choices. How many times do we have to say NO? It depends on how you look at it: after all, one needs to say "YES" just once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Well yeah, just until you say yes. Just like a three year old at the store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeA Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) And after a reboot, KB3035583 popped up YET AGAIN. What total disregard for customers' choices. How many times do we have to say NO? It depends on how you look at it: after all, one needs to say "YES" just once... Sounds like the plot to a bad sci-fi movie: if you enter through that portal, you can never come back into the here and now, or perhaps you might succeed in coming back after a long and perilous adventure. --JorgeA Edited October 6, 2015 by JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) And now KB2952664 has reappeared yet again, as an optional update. In adddition, there's a new mysterious KB3083710. The "About this update" description is so vague, it's laughable. Any more, updates billed as an "update client" are suspect in my book. --JorgeA EDIT: While researching this last update, I came across the following comment: I can't tell if kb3083710 is ok to install. I now feel safer and more clear about what to do while dealing with bundled adware installers that try to trick you to install junk, than I do dealing with Windows Update. Sad, but realistic.
