Why do I feel like making a shortt joke here?
Yes, I got the popup on one of my home machines and I usually just dismiss it until I have time to remove the KB update -again- (why does Microsoft keep overiding my wishes)...
Except -this- time instead of dismissing it, it automatically scheduled the upgrade. I was like...WTF? I had to manually unschedule it. Now I'm fearful its automatically doing it to that home computer while I'm at work. Not cool.

Widows 7 apparently. I got my son a lap top for his racing data logger
that automatically upgraded to windows 10 last year and he lost

him to use and trash the first one. Maybe Microsoft needs to give us a
choice before giving us all this new technology for free. This is going
to
screw up manufactures all over the country today.
