The KB 3035583 patch is NOT overriding Windows 10 registry settings
Posted on May 6, 2016 at 05:46 CDT by woody • Comment in the ForumsThere are reports all over the web that the new KB 3035583 – the detested “Get Windows 10” patch — is violating Microsoft’s terms of engagement, and blowing away the registry settings that are supposed to keep Windows 10 off your machine.
In my experiments, that just wasn’t true. Microsoft seems to be following its own rules.
