    Mine was auto installed on 4 April. Any recommendation as to whether it should be uninstalled? So far, I don't recall seeing any W10 ads.

    It's a Recommended update - not essential.

    Hermitt,

    Excellent link. Now I need to assess whether I think I might want to upgrade to W10. I probably won't upgrade any of my current machines so I will probably uninstall those that relate to W10 upgrades.

    I found KB3035583 listed under optional updates that I never installed - thankfully.

    I never install any optional/recommended update unless I know that I need it and the reason for it.
