Follow the instructions below to uninstall a Windows Update manually via the command prompt.

• On Windows Vista & 7, click on the Windows Start Menu, then enter cmd in the search box, right-click on the cmd icon and select Run as Administrator
• On Windows 8, drag your cursor in the bottom-left corner, and right-click on the metro menu preview, then select Command Prompt (Admin);
• On Windows 8.1, right click on the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner and select Command Prompt (Admin);

I will need to power down the laptop now, to take it with me. I'll see what happens when I reboot it, unless you need me to do something else right away.

You can shut it down, it's good. Let me know if the "Windows 10" install prompt comeback when installing updates :)
