Cannot Install Updates for Windows 7 due to Windows 10 Notification
Issue:
Windows Update has not installed updates since July 2015. If I try to install updates, I can see a list of downloaded updates, but the 'install' button has been replaced with 'Get Started' ad for Windows 10.

Resolution:
Change settings to 'do not download or install updates'
Click 'Check for updates'
Wait an hour or more depending on how old your computer is*
It will show a list of updates. UNCHECK and then hide 'Windows 10'
Click some other updates to install and 'OK'.
Now you can install them.

*Issue:
On a laptop with limited RAM, Checking for Updates takes forever. I was only able to get the above to work on a desktop.
I wish I could just use the windows version I paid for without having to download a 10 GB "update" that is known to not work on older computers.
