**** this is the worst thing ever, I've spent enough time on this it would have been cheaper to not have the Windows 10 update be free and I pay for new license.

I'm not sure how I did it but I think I'm keeping it at bay. I went into Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads and deleted the folder that was 2+GB, and removed the KB installs they suggested to remove and removed the Windows\System32\GWX folder... Now at least when I install some Windows update that isn't Windows 10 it doesn't just start installing Windows 10.

It still *says* it is, but it just installs the update I want while telling me it's downloading Windows 10. It then prompts me to schedule the install (no option to not install still), I ignore that and reboot and it doesn't seem to come back, but the other update I want seems to be installed properly.

Holy hell, just trying to get some work done...
