Cancel Windows 10 Download

Hi,



Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and sorry for delayed response.



As per the issue description you don't want Windows 10 right now and willing to cancel Windows 10 upgrade. However, cancelling the reservation is not possible but you may hide the update which is responsible for the upgrade.



This can be done if the update which is responsible for this icon is either uninstalled from your system or if it is hidden. So, first I would suggest you to uninstall
KB3035583 update and then hide it. Hope this would resolve your issue. in future if you want Windows 10 just install this update and you can upgrade to Windows 10.



To check if the updates is already installed:

• Open Installed Updates by pressing
  Windows key + X. Select Control Panel
  from the list, clicking Programs, and then, under
  Programs and Features, clicking View installed updates.
  

• Click the update KB3035583 that you want to remove, and then click
  Uninstall. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

You can refer to the below mentioned steps to hide an update.

• Press Window key + X.
• Select Control Panel from the list.
• Under view by option select large icons.
• And then click either Windows Update or
  Microsoft Update.
• Now click on important updates available (recommended).
• Click to clear the check box that is next to the
  KB3035583 update.
• Expand the KB3035583 update that you want to hide, and then click the "Don't show this update again" check box.
• Click Review and install updates.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
