[hpsdr] Best way to block windows 10 'upgrade'

[Dick Faust]

I also highly recommend turning off ALL M$ updates, which can also be 
done from within the GWX control panel.  M$ updates are more than 
"totally useless" and generally do not solve anything but break other 
programs due to lack due diligence on M$'s behalf - Just use a decent 
antivirus program.
As a note, I have been running Windows 7 SP1 Pro with zero [0] updates 
for over 3 years with out ANY issues, I use free AVG for antivirus.

It is also wise to remove the KB's that influence the updates in both 
win7 and win8x.  I also use a simple batch file for this purpose, on 
either system, as shown below.
[Copy into note pad and save with a ".bat" extension.  Run from command 
line.]

------

@echo on
echo Now Removing KB's
wusa /uninstall /kb:3068708 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3022345 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:2952664 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3021917 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:2976978 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3080149 /quiet /norestart
wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583 /quiet /norestart
Pause

-----
The "Pause" command at the end issues a line to "Press any key to 
continue" and serves to notify you that the bat file has finished.  
Without the pause the command line box just disappears.  It can take 5 - 
10 minutes to run on some machines.

Restart the PC to finish the uninstall when ever you want.
