Getting beyond ridiculous with the arm twisting techniques to force Windows 10 on everyone.
Simple, after uninstalling them and rebooting, check for Windows updates again then hide all the updates that appearOkay, so I have run the bat file to uninstall the damned updates, but how do I make sure that the same updates won't be pushed to me again? I don't want an outdated OS but at the same time I will let those updates slide over my dead body, so if anyone knows a way then kindly inform me.
Thanks in advance.

KB3102810 and KB3102812 were added to the list and batch file updated.
Also, KB3042058, KB3088195, KB3093983 are currently under investigation by the Matrix authorities.
Those updates are now blocked/hidden using the DWS (Destroy Windows Spying) Tool, which is why I said they are under investigation as I didn't find anything bad about them yet. They are not in the list, all I said is they are under investigation until I can find more proof that they are actually harmful.KB3042058 is listed as an important security update, and I did not find any mention of Windows 10 or Telemetry in the bulletin.
Same for KB3088195. What the hay?
You know you could just not care.
edit- oh btw, thanks Dell for putting my Windows 7 license key sticker on the bottom of the laptop where after several years is unreadable. So I doubt I even could update this laptop to Windows 10 anyway.
Myself I don't care about the telemetry.
What I care about is keeping my oldish Windows 7 laptop working reliably. I do not need "updates" that are screwing with my resources, hard drive, cpu processing, internet speed, just to "get ready" for a Windows 10 update I may never install.
If I do decide to install Windows 10 I can do so without these "updates".
BTW, my chief complaint about Windows 10 is losing the ability to control updates, particularly drivers.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't questioning you or your source. Up until now, the Live Update and Telemetry crap didn't cross swords with the Security updates AFAIK. I was just gripping that I can't even trust Important Security Updates without now investigating them as well.Those updates are now blocked/hidden using the DWS (Destroy Windows Spying) Tool, which is why I said they are under investigation as I didn't find anything bad about them yet. They are not in the list, all I said is they are under investigation until I can find more proof that they are actually harmful.
Don't worry, I don't just randomly add updates to the list until I find online proof that they are containing telemetry stuff or Windows 10 upgrade
I don't see why not, it does not ask for your Win7 key on upgrade to 10 , my Samsung laptop is the same ie has key on base, it never asks for the Win7/8 key.
Well, shit... That's irrefutable.Although Micro$h4ft claims these are security updates, the real truth = KB3088195 (Keylogger on kernel level) / KB3042058 (Winlogon spying) / KB3093983 (IE spying) added to the lit and batch file update in the OP.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am glad that this list ended up being useful to someone.Neighbor asked me to fix his little acer with win 7 that stopped working. His wife only uses it to check facebook.
I told him I'd fix it for him and it was completely unusable, it froze up any time I tried to do anything with it. After several attempts to use it and after several hard reboots I opened up this list on my other computer and systematically disabled all the spying and uninstalled every update on the list.
Lo & behold, the little acer with Win 7 starter edition is running like a champ. All I did was uninstall these windows POS updates for telemetry and Win 10 upgrade crap.
Neighbor is happy. I have disabled all updates on the computer but what choice do I have? He said he would rather have a computer that works with a tiny chance for problems due to being non-updated than a computer that doesn't work for sure as soon as windows updates.
Those a-holes at microsoft have lost their friggin minds with this ham-fisted telemetry & upgrade b.s.
Makes you wonder if MS is purposely installing these telemetry updates to 7 or 8 in order to move people to 10, by affecting the performance of the OS.
Word!They are destroying 7 & 8 just to push people to 10. No thanks.
I have resorted to turning off updates in 7 & 8 on all the machines that I manage. It's just too much of a headache.
It takes too long to research and figure out which updates are real and which are just spyware.
