I have an essential programme which needs windows 7 in my preferred configuration.  I regularly update Win 7. Today it showed me the important updates I needed but also included - on a different page Win 10 upgrade. I have removed KB3035583 and hidden it from the list of upgrades but the Win 10 window still appears. If I click OK on the list of upgrades I want to install, it displays the update to Win 10 page and if I then ask to see other updates I get the list , click OK and back to Win 10 download. On line searches have not been useful at this stage. I have resarted computer after uninstalling the KB3035583 .Can anyone suggest a way round?

As a last resort you could upgrade to 10 and then revert to 7, as per guidance here.

Thanks for the suggestion. However system restore combined with hiding the update that started the problen has worked.

I will say it does seem to run smoother than 7, does that make me a bad person?

I liked 7, I loved 8.1 and I must admit 10 is so smooth and quick I think I'm going to love it. But so far I have not found anything not to like.  :D Yesterday I was working for this lady and she was having a problem with her desktop running 7, so I helped her with the problem and I then realised how much better 10 is as I have not used 7 for a couple of years.
