Yes it is Called GRC Never 10.

I had to use it when a flash upgrade made an override of my previous Config file changes that stopped windows updates.
The nice thing about the little program is that it can also remove any windows 10 related software downloads remaining on your computer. I had over 6 Gig of windows 10 files downloaded that were removed by this program.
Thanks folks. Just installed Never10 on my tablet. Next on laptop. Both win8.1.
Someone on FR suggested a program called GWX. Installed it on our computers. Scanned files and removed some that were already present. No problems since installation and clean-up! Can’t remember who recommended it but THANKS!!!
Thanks for the link, I had turned off all updates to Win 7, now I can get win7 updates and not worry about having win 10 installed while I’m sleeping. lol
