That 3035583 update still downloads even after installing the Never10. It pops up every week.
Be sure to download and use the latest version of Never10 if you used an early version from April.
The earliest version did not delete downloaded Windows 10 files.
Never10 won't prevent Windows updates. It won't prevent KB3035583 from showing up in your Windows updates. But it will prevent Windows 10 from actually downloading its files to your hard drive (into a secret hidden folder) and installing once it's got all its horrible install files on your poor computer.
Never10's big advantage over other GWX managers is that it's very small, doesn't require installation, and is easy. It also provides an easy way to undo its changes, should you decide you want Windows 10 after all.
If you want to prevent Windows 10 from installing by manually tweaking your registry yourself, Never10 is based on instructions at
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351However that looks like a multi-step process, easy to miss a step, and since Never10 does the same thing, I wouldn't recommend the manual process unless you enjoy doing that sort of thing (I don't).
I do remember reading that some people have had KB3035583 reappear in their Windows Update recently, even after they'd hidden it. So Microsoft is definitely trying to get you, and you have to check over Windows updates before installing them.
According to this article at PCWorld, Microsoft has gotten more aggressive about pushing Windows 10 and trying to trick people into installing it.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3075729/w...r-own-risk.htmlMicrosoft stepped on the gas in its quest to drive Windows 7 and 8 users to Windows 10 over the past couple of weeks, rolling the upgrade out as a Recommended update. Watch out! The only behavior that could deny the Windows 10 upgrade before—closing the pop-up by pressing the X in the upper-right corner—now counts as consent for the upgrade, and worse, the upgrade installation can automatically begin even if you take no action whatsoever.
So you click the X to get rid of the pop-up, and the %^$&#$! thing installs instead of going away.
Microsoft doesn't believe that "No" means "No."

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3073457/w...-upgrading.htmlThis morning, the unthinkable happened: My wife, an avowed PC user who long ago swore to never touch an Apple device, started shopping around for a Mac Mini. And it’s all thanks to Windows 10. Or rather, the nasty new way that Microsoft’s tricking Windows 7 and 8 users into automatically updating to Windows 10.
...Last week, Microsoft altered the GWX prompt, as ZDNet covered. On the surface, it’s an improvement; the box clearly states when your PC will be upgraded, and even adds a (still small and easily skippable) line that allows you to reschedule or change the upgrade timing. So far so good!
But here’s the icky part: The redesigned GWX pop-up now treats exiting the window as consent for the Windows 10 upgrade.
