Solved Windows 8.1 forcing Windows 10

[fulvioval]

Hi friends I need a little help. I was using Windows 10 for 1,5 month but decided to downgrade to 8.1. So I made a clean install and activated with my serial. The problem is that I can't make any updates because every time I try Windows 8.1 start downloading and installing windows 10. How can I remain in Windows 8.1 and install updates?

Thanks!!!

You have to block out the KB's that activate the Windows 10 download. One of them is KB 3035583.

I have no updates installed yet, its a clean install.
When I search for updates windows warn for "Windows 10" update. I hid this KB3035583(without install), but Windows 8.1 still trying to download and install Windows 10...

The screen is like this(but the final version not technical preview):

So I click in show avaliable updates, selected some and install, but windows start download and try to install windows 10.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I'll try to hide all updates related to Windows 10.
This should be happening in a clean Windows 8.1 without any of this updates installed?

The updates are probably being downloaded in the background and there has been news that Microsoft is downloading the ~BT and .wim/ESD files "Just in case the user changes his mind".

I disabled automatic updates in first login. This can happen even updates not installed? I checked installed updates and don't have any installed yet.

I was called out on it pretty fast too..

One thing I have learned being in both these forums is, usually if someone(at least the computer literate members any how) say's somethings happening, it probably is even when it can't be reproduced or they are the only ones it is happening too.

Thanks all for the help!!! I made it with this steps:

1-Clean install of Windows 8.1 disconnected of internet
2-Create local account
3-Connect to internet
4-Install updates hiding Windows 10 related

My theory is when I create account with MS account, probably Windows recognize Windows 10 reservation and put as main update Windows 10.
